Future Readiness We believe... ...in providing a rigorous academic program and student centered learning experiences. ...in inspiring creativity, problem solving, and critical thinking. ...in empowering students to pursue their strengths and passions. The district’s comprehensive plan was developed in the 2017-18 school year through several months of meetings involving various district stakeholders. The plan includes a set of shared values - future readi- ness, safe and supportive schools, and community partnerships. Above is the statement related to the value of future readiness. Throughout the 2018-19 school year, the district worked toward offer- ing a variety of experiences for students to help prepare them for the future. The photos on the next two pages show you some examples of these experiences. Schwenksville Elementary School held its first Career Day for fourth- and fifth-grade students in May 2019. The event was a chance for students to learn from presenters about ca- reers including everything from a statistician to a structural engineer who climbs skyscrapers for a living. They listened to presenters and were expected to take notes, ask questions and complete a reflection at the con- clusion of the event. The North Montco Technical Career Center offers students multiple opportunities to gain hands-on experience in a num- ber of different disciplines. Each year, seniors exhibit a final project to demonstrate what they have learned. Page 4 Follow us on Facebook Twitter YouTube
