UCS District Goals :

As a public school district, our commitment - that Every Child Achieves - clearly states our intentions.  But what does it take for every child to reach his or her full potential?

Last August, our Board of Education approved a strategic statement articulating our plan.  The Indicators of Excellence is our blueprint to improve student achievement in the Utica Community Schools.

It provides a clear vision of how we - educators, parents and the community - will work together to create a culture where students can aspire, prepare and achieve.

Our course for the future is shaped by three district goals.  First, by 2014, all students will meet or exceed proficiency standards in reading and writing, math, science and social studies, fine arts and career and technical education, as defined by national, state and district standards.

Second, the school district will implement a world-class instructional program.

And, third, parent, business and community partnerships will be an integral part of student learning.

Each goal is supported by a series of Indicators.  Each Indicator is an end objective of specific results to be achieved in measurable terms over a specific period of time.  The Indicators allow us to monitor our progress toward meeting our objectives.  Simply put, when the Indicators are met, each Goal will be achieved.
