The complete 2018–23 District Strategic Plan and the District Scorecard are available on the district website at:

www.svsd410.org

The Snoqualmie Valley School District is committed to providing all students a safe and caring learning environment, high quality instruction, academic rigor, cutting-edge technology resources, and a broad range of learning opportunities. Coupled with a foundation of social emotional support, we work to help students grow into capable, confident, and compassionate citizens.

This Strategic Plan serves as a guide for focusing our attention and prioritizing our resources on initiatives aimed to improve our schools, support great teaching, and empower all learners. The plan defines steps and metrics for fulfilling the district’s mission: to prepare all Snoqualmie Valley students for college, career, and citizenship.

Thanks to a supportive community that values education, our district offers exceptional schools and meaningful learning experiences aimed at helping all Snoqualmie Valley students discover their passions and successfully pursue any career path they may choose.

Best Regards,DR. ROBERT MANAHANSuperintendent

GOAL 1

GOAL 2

GOAL 3

Guarantee sound financial processes, business practices, and ample and safe facilities to support student learning.

Provide open, two-way communication with students, families, staff, and the community to improve student learning.

To create a comprehensive Strategic Plan, the Snoqualmie Valley School District facilitated a community process in the spring of 2019 with students, staff, families, and businesses to help define our collective educational values and beliefs. As a result, our learning community identified the following key characteristics and attributes that we believe all students need—in addition to strong academic knowledge —for success throughout school, college, career, and life. These characteristics comprise Snoqualmie Valley’s Portrait of a Graduate.

Creativity & InnovationDemonstrates originality, imagination, and new ways of thinking about things. Translates original and inventive thinking into viable solutions.

EmpathyDemonstrates awareness, sensitivity, concern, and respect to connect with others’ feelings, opinions, experiences, and culture.
