Dear Bristol Public Schools Community,
I am very excited to
share with you our district’s second annual report! This report
highlights many of the accomplishments of our scholars and staff in the
classroom, competition, and community throughout the school year.
This time of year is
most fitting to evaluate our progress over the past school year, set new goals,
and prioritize what is most important to our district. I would like to
take a moment to revisit our BPS Equity through Excellence Framework and 2019-2024
District Priorities and Indicators of Success, which were developed in
consultation with the BPS District Continuous Improvement Team. Strategic
Planning for 2025-2030 is underway.
Our focus on knowing each scholar by name,
strength, story, and need will help us create positive school and classroom
learning environments in which students are supported and rise to clear and
challenging expectations. The support of our families, teachers, and
staff will continue to raise the bar for a well-rounded student experience,
both inside and outside of our classrooms, and sustain our BPS legacy.
As we continue to move toward becoming a
District Model of Excellence, we will continue to align all of our actions and
innovations to the following District Priorities:
· Cultivate and Inspire Talent
· Learner-Focused Practices
· Organizational and Operational Effectiveness
· Community Engagement and Partnerships
Within each priority,
strategic actions have been identified, resulting in our Equity through
Excellence Framework. This framework serves as a guide, as it identifies
best practices at the classroom, school, and district levels. These
practices ensure that our graduates leave our district with the skills and
dispositions necessary to be successful in their future academic and
professional careers and lives. To monitor our progress and improve
outcomes for all students, the Indicators of Success were established.
These indicators are accompanied with yearly benchmarks based on historical
data, which measure our progress across multiple dimensions.
As always, thank you for
your continued support and we look forward to a fantastic 2023-2024 school
year!
In partnership,
Catherine M. Carbone,
Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
