Throughout the school year, we present an article in the bulletin each week providing updates from St. Margaret’s School, written by a member of our school staff.

For the past three weeks we have published the commendations we received from our school improvement team.  This week we are publishing the strategic planning goals.  These goals were chosen through committee work and an all school survey.  They represent the needs of our community as expressed by all stakeholders. We have five years to work to achieve these goals before the process starts again.  I thank everyone who helped us through this process.  We have four goals which cover our three areas of focus:

Catholic Identity:  Through the development of a family evangelization and formation plan, the students’ and parents’ understanding of the Catholic Faith and relationships with Jesus Christ will be strengthened individually and as a family unit.

Academic Issues:  Student learning will improve with the creation and implementation of a targeted differentiation plan with a focus on providing rigor and meeting the needs of all students.

Academic Issues: Student learning will improve through the implementation of a whole school behavior management plan with a focus on restorative practices and inclusivity, equity, and diversity.

Institutional Issues:  School climate and safety will be enhanced through the creation and implementation of a facilities management plan.
