Text Box: From Mrs. Nelson — One of the reasons Millard Public Schools stands out from other school districts is that we are a system with a Strategic Plan. At the building level we have a Site Plan that is aligned to the Strategic Plan, but it is more closely tied to our specific community. As it is with the Strategic Plan on a District level, our Site Plan guides us in our decision making regarding programs, budgeting and other resources locally here at Cottonwood. This year promises to be an exciting one for many reasons. One is that this year we will be rewriting our Site Plan. This task will be undertaken in November by our Site Planning Team. In a full-day meeting, we will look at school data and talk about our needs here at Cottonwood. We will come up with Objectives and Strategies to guide what we do for the next four years, so we take this planning very seriously. The Site Planning Team (an ad hoc committee that meets only for this purpose) consists of members from the School Improvement Team (a long-term standing committee) and other members that join for a short time. Ideally, we will have a cross-section of parents, teachers and community members. We currently have three specialists, nine parents, two classroom teachers and an administrator on the Site Planning Team. I would love to have a couple of community members join us! We are low on fathers, too. Remember, your commitment is just the planning day. Please consider this service to the school. I am happy to answer any questions that you have about the process, and as they say, there is no obligation if you call right now! — NN
