A New Way Forward
To deliver a world-class education, we must put students' needs above all else. Our district's Strategic Plan identifies specific actions and activities in these five areas:
Student success is our primary purpose, achieved by delivering high-quality instruction and exceptional services that support the whole child.
Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are the cornerstones of everything we do.
Continuous improvement is essential, accomplished through capacity building, collaboration, leadership development, and professional learning.
Families and community partners are critical to student and school success.
Communication, collaboration, and a spirit of shared accountability are commitments that guide the work of Team FCPS.
