This week, I had the opportunity to participate in the first MRSD Strategic Plan Committee meeting. Here, we began by reviewing the survey results and comments from all the various stakeholders who took the survey. I had the pleasure of focusing on the comments from parents and guardians. The information you provided was invaluable and I was encouraged to find that we share many of the same concerns, values, and areas of celebration for our school. I want to thank everyone who took the time to offer feedback, opinions and suggestions. We will continue to use the community's perspective as we move through this year, and as we make decisions for the future of our school and district.
In partnership,
Abby Dudley
Principal
