We, as a community, make a collective commitment to Bellingham\u2019s children. We will empower every child to discover and develop their passions, contribute to their community, and achieve a fulfilling and productive life. See Board Policy E-1 \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n We collectively commit that our students are cared for and respected, and that they will graduate from our schools prepared for success. All students will be exceptional in their own way, with strong character, a passion for learning, and ready for the widest range of educational and vocational options to support a diversity of life choices. See Board Policy E-1 \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n Bellingham Public Schools, working in partnership with our community,\u00a0engaged in\u00a0the development of The 一本道app<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>our strategic plan.<\/p>\n A first draft\u00a0was generated in January 2012 and shared with staff at all 22 schools, the Student and Parent Advisory Committees, the Bellingham Public Schools Foundation Board, employee association leaders, and a variety of other parent and community groups.\u00a0Thousands of\u00a0comments were collected at meetings and through an online survey. Themes<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0were identified from those comments and that feedback helped build The Promise.<\/p>\n The 一本道app reflects our School Board’s policy governance policies<\/a><\/strong>, which\u00a0set desired outcomes for current students and graduates. The School Board meets regularly with parent, community and staff groups through linkages<\/a><\/strong> to gather additional input on our future\u00a0direction.<\/p>\n Every school year,\u00a0school and\u00a0district leaders use input to\u00a0develop a work plan\u00a0called Priorities for Progress<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0that support the five key strategies of The Promise. This is also a living document that is continuously updated and improved based on feedback. It helps drive resource allocation through our budget process. We are currently working on evidence and measures of The 一本道app with an emphasis on the whole child.<\/p>\n We continue to improve The 一本道app collaboratively, so that our vision, mission, values, outcomes and work priorities are always owned by students, staff, families, and our greater Bellingham community. Together, we make The 一本道app a transparent, online document that is easily accessible and memorable for all.<\/p>\n Additional background information:<\/p>\nOur Mission<\/h3>\n
