Our Next Reach: Strategic Plan 2017-2022
We’re excited to launch the first year of our strategic plan, the roadmap for Redwood Day’s next five years. Our Next Reach is a bold plan that outlines our goals to continue offering an exceptional education for all students. The plan is divided into three main categories: Program, People, and Finance and Facilities.
People
We have record-high interest, enrollment, and retention of great, mission-match students and families. Similarly, our teacher retention rates are equally as high. Looking forward, our main goal is to attract, develop, and retain a diverse student body and faculty. Once people are here, we endeavor to promote life-long learning and provide the necessary support to help everyone reach for their next challenge.
Finance and Facilities
We are in great financial health. Our goal is to continue strong, conservative fiscal planning, mindful of holding today’s students, families, and staff at the forefront of our decision making, while also considering our potential impact on future generations to come. As our program continues to flourish, we have our sights set on continued facility and campus enhancements to match the exceptional education that is Redwood Day.
Back
Program
Over the past five years, we’ve accomplished a lot as we’ve expanded and enhanced our program on many levels. With new curriculum implementations in Mathematics, Science, Writing, Spanish, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), and Innovation and Design, our program is now an exemplar for other schools. Looking forward, our goals continue to set the bar high as we work to optimally challenge all students in ways that suit them, and to develop courageous leaders, change agents, and innovators. As we focus our efforts on these goals, we will continue to weave collaboration, cross-cultural competency, creativity, critical thinking, character and communication throughout the curriculum.

At our Back-to-School Nights, we distributed copies of the strategic plan to all families, and I spoke in more depth about this vision for our future. If you missed my presentation or would like to discuss further, I’m offering a Friday Coffee on September 29th in my office from 8:30-9:30 a.m.
We have a lot to be proud of and a lot to look forward to!
