=USD 325 School District Mission Statement =

The Mission of USD #325 public schools is to provide positive school experiences and healthy school environments which prepare students for successful and productive adult lives. We believe this may best be accomplished by cooperation between our schools, students, parents, and the communities we serve.

We will know our students are preparing for a changing, complex world, when they are:

**EFFECTIVE LEARNERS** who demonstrate basic skills in the area of reading, writing, mathematics, science, and technology, and are prepared to apply and adapt those skills to a lifetime of learning.

**MEANINGFUL COMMUNICATORS** who demonstrate the skills needed to communicate successfully in a variety of ways, including verbal and written work, and the fine arts.

**PROBLEM SOLVERS** who demonstrate higher-order thinking skills and varied problem solving strategies, and are prepared to apply those skills to practical situations.

**QUALITY CONTRIBUTORS** who are prepared to work both independently and cooperatively, and to demonstrate the workplace and citizenship skills of a contributing member of society.

**HEALTHY CITIZENS** who demonstrate the skills needed to develop and maintain physical and mental health, which prepare them to assume a productive role in society.
