Welcome to another exciting school year in District 34! As we look forward to the 2024/25 academic year, we are thrilled to share our mission, vision, and theme, which together shape the path toward a brighter future for our students and our community.
Our Mission and Vision
At District 34, our mission is clear: “We inspire our students to dream and empower them to achieve.” This mission is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in the limitless potential of our students and are committed to providing them with the resources, support, and encouragement they need to turn their dreams into reality.
Our vision statement, “To be the destination district that unites ALL to transform the future of our community and beyond,” reflects our broader aspirations. We aim to be a beacon of excellence and unity, bringing together students, educators, families, and community members to create a transformative impact that extends far beyond the classroom.
The Power of Teamwork
This year’s theme is ‘Teamwork,’ a concept that is essential for both our students and our staff. Teamwork is not just a buzzword; it’s a fundamental principle that underpins our approach to education and community building.
For our students, teamwork means learning to collaborate, communicate effectively, and value diverse perspectives. These skills are crucial for their academic success and personal growth. By working together, students learn the importance of supporting one another, sharing ideas, and achieving common goals. These experiences prepare them for future challenges and opportunities, fostering resilience and adaptability.
For our staff, teamwork is about creating a cohesive and supportive environment where everyone works towards a common purpose. Our educators, administrators, and support staff are dedicated to fostering a culture of collaboration, where ideas are shared, challenges are met with collective solutions, and successes are celebrated together. This spirit of unity and cooperation is what makes District 34 a thriving and dynamic educational community.
Uniting for a Brighter Future
As we embrace the theme of teamwork, we invite our entire community to join us in this journey. We believe that the strength of our district lies in the partnerships we build with families, local businesses, and community organizations. Together, we can create an environment where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to achieve their fullest potential.
We encourage families to engage with their children’s education, participate in school events, and collaborate with teachers to support their academic and personal development. Community members can contribute by volunteering, attending school functions, and providing valuable resources and opportunities for our students.
Celebrating Successes
Throughout the school year, we will be highlighting and celebrating examples of exceptional teamwork within our district. From collaborative classroom projects and successful sports teams to innovative staff initiatives and community partnerships, we will showcase the many ways teamwork is making a difference in District 34.
Looking Ahead
As we embark on this new school year, let us remember the power of working together. Our mission to inspire and empower, combined with our vision of unity and transformation, sets the stage for a year filled with growth, achievement, and community spirit.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to making District 34 a place where dreams are inspired and achievements are made possible. Together, as a team, we will empower our students to transform the future of our community and beyond.
Here’s to a fantastic year of teamwork and success!
Sincerely,
Aron Borowiak
