Annual Strategic Plan Update 2023-2024
We are excited to share the annual update on the Wethersfield Public Schools Strategic Plan for 2023-2024, a roadmap that guides Wethersfield Public Schools toward a future of excellence. This plan, approved by the Wethersfield Board of Education last year, focuses on three key goals: Student Achievement, Civic & Family Engagement, and Management, Operations & Finance.
WHS Business Breakfast
December 12, 2024, at the Pitkin Community Centre, Wethersfield High Career Technical Education students stepped up to the podium one by one, sharing their stories with 41 local business leaders over breakfast. Their speeches brought their classroom experiences to life as each student described their projects and connected them to their future career goals.
The morning wasn't just about listening - between the student presentations, business leaders, teachers, and students connected over coffee and food. These conversations built on what the students had shared from the podium, turning their speeches into starting points for deeper discussions about career paths and opportunities.
During the event, we also took a moment to recognize The Hartford as our Employer of the Year, celebrating their role in opening doors for our students. Wethersfield continues to seek partnerships with professionals to strengthen student opportunities and shape their futures; these connections made over morning coffee mark just another step in the partnerships between education and industry that will help guide our students toward their career goals.
VISION OF THE GRADUATE
Our Mission
Wethersfield Public Schools (WPS) has three priorities to improve student and family outcomes and to ensure that each student engages in personalized learning opportunities in an inclusive environment. WPS demonstrates a commitment to lifelong learning and the use of knowledge and skills beyond the walls of the school.
EMPATHY: Build a positive, empathetic, and safe community and increase effective communication.
ACHIEVEMENT: Focus on student achievement through implementation of innovative, inclusive instruction and evidence-based practices.
EQUITY: Deliberately identify inequities in our policies and practices that impact our community, and change structures to ensure equitable outcomes for all, by specific characteristics, and specifically by race.
