​​​​​​Vision, Mission, and Values


​Prior to gathering stakeholder input, the Board has engaged in a deep conversation about their Vision, Mission, and Values to agree on who they are as a Board, and to frame the strategic planning process and all future decision-making and direction. The following statements are the new DRAFT "Vision, Mission, and Values" that they have developed. The Board of Education would like your feedback on these statements before the final version is approved by the new Board after they take office. β€‹

Vision

​The district Vision Statement can be expressed in three languages; English, French, and Hul'q'umi'num.  The following is currently being considered:

  • ​"Always growing" in English
  • "Grandissons ensemble" in French
  • "Yath cΜ“isum" in Hul'a'umi'num​
​​​​

Mission

The following DRAFT Mission Statement was adapted from two sentences in the previous Mission Statement:

​​​"We embrace a spirit of curiosity and joy for learning that challenges everyone to become inform​​ed and confident designers of their own future"


Values

The following DRAFT Value Statements evolved from the previous iteration, but focusing on five signal words, each with its own simple clarifying phrase or set of key synonyms:


  • ​​Dynamic:    Effective, energetic, and active in our pursuit of learning

  • Sustainable:  Stewardship and care for our finances, the environment and relationships
