System Planning for Student Success 2005-2008

Everything we do is designed to help students learn and do well in school. If we want all students to achieve, we need to plan how to make it happen, focus our efforts where the impact is greatest and measure our progress. The Peel District School Board does this through our System planning for student success process.

With our Report card for student success, each goal has data indicators to show our progress in reaching that goal and key projects that are intended to have a direct impact on the indicators. The bottom line remains improved student achievement, with our goals at the centre of the process. The Report card for student success helps us to turn our goals into action and to focus and co-ordinate our time and resources.

We want to help our students achieve to the best of their ability. The System planning for student success shares with staff, parents, students and community how we will fulfill our mission of Lifelong learning: striving to be the best.

Our Mission Statement, Vision and Values

One of the tasks of strategic planning was to capture the spirit of the Peel public school system in a mission statement.

The statement of the board's values put into words the beliefs that will guide our actions and demonstrate our spirit.
