School Improvement Plan
Senior Leadership teams use a School Improvement Plan (SIP) as their main source of information to outline their strategic plans for the growth of their school. A school's stated principles will serve as the foundation for a school improvement plan, which outlines the steps and resources required to accomplish the goals.
Mission and Vision Statement
At Shaw Road, every student is engaged in meaningful learning, challenged to set and reach ambitious goals, and supported by a community that values character, service, and growth.
Culture of Equity Statement
As a community of educators, we are working to continue to develop an understanding of historical contexts; engage students, families, and community representatives as partners indecision-making; and actively dismantle systemic barriers, replacing them with policies and practices that ensure all students have access to the instruction and support they need to succeed in our school.
