The SLCSD Way and Our Priorities
The SLCSD Way describes our collective work as an organization. We treat all people with dignity and establish collaborative environments where students can thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. We engage multiple voices as we make informed decisions, focused on students, in alignment with policy and guidance. We communicate clearly about the reasoning and context behind our decisions. We create welcoming schools grounded in a culture of belonging for all students, families, employees, and community members.
The district and our Board of Education have identified three key priorities to guide our efforts in lifting and supporting our students. Click the buttons below to learn more about each priority.
