SCHOOL DISTRICT MISSION
(Comprehensive School Improvement Plan)
FILE: AD
Basic
The mission of the Seneca R-VII School District is: Our mission is the development of the intellectual, physical, cultural, and social capabilities of students. We believe that through public education every student can expand his knowledge to unlimited horizons.
In order to provide successful and effective learning outcomes, we recognize that a quality staff is essential and, therefore, we are dedicated to the development of continuing professional skills for all staff members. We believe that schools exist to meet the needs of youth and that community involvement in district decision-making is necessary and beneficial to our present and future development.
The district has a Board-approved Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) guided by the mission statement and based on the district's fundamental beliefs about teaching and learning. This plan serves as the district's foundation for allocating resources, developing policies and procedures, and selecting and implementing instructional programs designed to raise student achievement.
The CSIP was developed through the combined efforts of Board members, staff, administrators, students, parents/guardians and community members and is ongoing. Goals, outcomes or objectives are provided in sufficient detail to direct the improvement efforts of the district for at least a five-year period. The CSIP is evaluated and updated as necessary.
A copy of the district's CSIP is available in the superintendent's office.
