District Mission
The Mission of North Mason School District, together with our community, is to educate, empower, inspire and prepare all students to graduate confident in their abilities to meet life’s challenges and opportunities.
District Welcome
Dear Parents and Friends of North Mason Schools,
The North Mason School District’s mission is “To Educate, Empower, Inspire, and Prepare All Students.” The mission comes from our district’s strategic plan, developed with the participation of over one hundred community members and many staff. While the mission is simple to remember, it is an enormously difficult task. Our stated goal is for all students to meet or exceed high academic standards by acquiring the knowledge and skills essential for success on state and national assessments, in post-secondary education, the world of work, and citizenship. As a dynamic organization, we are constantly revisiting this statement to consider whether it continues to make sense, needs revision or change. We work to ensure our efforts continue to target success for all students.
In response to our community’s vision, we are working to improve student performance in core subjects while protecting our liberal arts values of educating “the whole child.” We are finding ways to increase services to students and families while being conservative stewards of taxpayer money. Staff members are helping students master a more rigorous set of basic skills while they become independent, complex thinkers able to keep up with a dynamic world. In North Mason, we have many positive efforts already in place or underway. We are continually looking to optimize the district and, in doing so, have identified areas for growth and improvement. Strategies have been implemented to support our goal of 100% student success.
Key Work
The North Mason School District is committed to high levels of success for every student. Each school has a focused, detailed School Success Plan to improve student learning and family engagement. Teachers are engaged in Professional Learning Communities to focus on improving student results, and responding effectively when students struggle. Our curriculum teams are building greater focus and accountability into our programs. We are collecting, analyzing and using achievement data in new and powerful ways. We are on the move!
With our community, we are working to make sure our facilities are good places to learn. With families, we watch over student health and nutrition and make sure students arrive at school ready to learn and deliver them safely home. With the community supported local school levy, we offer enriched education for our highest performers, our struggling students, our athletes, our artists, and our performers. For any of us to succeed, all of us must be successful.
Together, we will provide exceptional opportunities for our students, building a successful future for each and every one. I am excited to work with you as we become THE place to live, learn, and work.
Thank you for your support, guidance, and shared commitment to our community and our kids.
Sincerely,
Dana Rosenbach, Superintendent
