The Vision and Values document has been created with input from parents, students, teachers, administrators, and Board of Education members. It describes a five-year strategic plan for teaching and learning. Specific aims and their action plans are developed on an on-going basis by district staff members.

"How will we know when we get there?" and "What evaluation program will determine the goals' effectiveness?" are two critical questions to answer as collaboration continues on the "Vision." The "Values" part of long range planning will show itself through prioritizing, communicating, and promotion.

It is the district's intention to make long range planning a meaningful process that ties School Improvement Plans at all three district schools into a living document that shares common structure. Each voice is important in shaping what learning should look like in Glencoe School District 35. Open communication and frequent exchanges of ideas are encouraged as part of each strategic theme.
