Promote academic growth of all students and proactively reduce achievement gaps

The Board suggests implementation of these goals with the following: 

• Develop an outstanding educational program that ensures that every student achieves the highest academic performance possible and has multiple opportunities to actively participate in both co-curricular and extra-curricular activities offered by our District. 

• Develop and implement both curricula as well as evidence based intervention programs that are consistent to ensure student achievement and encourage growth.

• Continue to expand enrichment opportunities, such as world languages, arts, music, or design or tech skills while being fiscally responsible.

• Ensure materials and services are available to staff and students to engage and support student learning.  

Proactively promote the physical, emotional and social well-being of PHUSD by working collaboratively with students, parents, staff and the  community. 

The Board suggests implementation of these goals with the following:

• Maintain wellness centers, counseling services, buddy programs between each school and to provide social/emotional support to students.

• Communication between and among students, parents, community, educators, staff and the Board is frequent, timely, collaborative, and helpful by utilizing consistent communication systems.     

• Ensure that the safety of the students and faculty is always made a priority by collaborating with local law enforcement, fire, and safety resources to enhance our comprehensive school safety plans and ensure site staff are educated on the plan.

• Continue to use the FITT rubric to evaluate the state of our facilities and to direct our priority improvements.     

• Behavior expectations are clearly articulated, supported and taught. Actively measure progress with the goal of a decreased need for referrals and, in turn, site discipline.
