The Westwood Public Schools 2025-2028 Strategy for District Improvement plan is organized into four focal areas, strategic priorities within each focal area, and action steps within each priority. The one-page summary of the focal areas and priorities provides a broad overview of our work, and the strategic plan with action steps provides a much greater level of detail.

The purpose of the strategic plan is to identify how we, as a district, achieve the outcomes for students that we have identified in our Portrait of a Graduate. With the lens of teaching and learning, it allows us to identify our instructional focus for staff -- both about how they design and deliver instruction for students, and how we provide professional learning opportunities for them. This is summarized in the graphic below.
Our approach to developing this strategic plan does have some differences from previous iterations. First, it is designed as a three-year plan, with three years’ worth of action steps included. This allows us to balance our need to move forward as a district with our capacity to be able to do so, and it is critical that we review this plan on a regular basis in order to assess how we are doing with our intended outcomes and timelines.
Second, this is designed as a district-level plan, and as such, does not itemize all the things that are happening at the school level across the district. Those initiatives -- which should be aligned with district priorities -- will be represented in School Improvement Plans across schools.
​District-wide communications from the Superintendent's Office are posted on this webpage. An archive from previous academic years is available online.
