MARSHFIELD 2036
AN OPEN INVITATION FOR FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS
In September 2023 we will welcome the Marshfield High School Class of 2036 into kindergarten. What will the world be like when today’s students leave school? What do our schools need to do to assist and prepare our students to be successful students, compassionate individuals, and engaged citizens? These two questions are the motivation behind Marshfield Public Schools’ comprehensive Strategic Planning process: MARSHFIELD 2036. Throughout the spring, the district intends to:
Engage the Public;
Create a Clear Vision for Our Schools;
Establish Action Plans for Realizing that Vision; and
Focus on Continuous Improvement and Systemic Renewal.
To complete our Strategic Plan, the District has partnered with the Teaching and Learning Alliance (TLA) to facilitate our process. The first phase of MARSHFIELD 2036 will involve a series of Focus Sessions, facilitated by our TLA Consultants, where participants will be given the opportunity to provide suggestions for revising our Educational Philosophy and Goals, as well as identifying future trends and issues that may pose challenges and opportunities for our community, our schools, and our students.
The quality of our Strategic Plan will be directly related to the quality of feedback and participation in the focus sessions. At this time, Marshfield Public Schools is seeking volunteers to participate in one of the focus sessions with our TLA Consultants. Please see the opportunity to meet with our consultants below and share your thoughts:
Target Audience: Marshfield Parents/Guardians & Community Members
Date: Monday, April 10, 2023
Time: 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Location: Marshfield High School Auditorium
Over the years, Marshfield Public Schools’ success has hinged on the broad-based involvement and support of our community. We have consistently relied on the expertise, interest, and ideas of our faculty and community to create an outstanding school system for our students. Based on those successes, we are once again reaching out to the entire Marshfield community through MARSHFIELD 2036 to ensure future generations of Marshfield residents benefit from our programs and services for years to come.
Over the next two weeks, there will also be Focus Groups for our Faculty & Staff, MHS Students, District Leadership & the School Committee. An invitation to serve on the Strategic Plan Working Group will also be sent out soon. The work of that group will begin in the last week of April and run through the middle of June.
Please consider joining us as we plan strategically for the future. If you are unable to attend the focus sessions, please note that a survey will be forthcoming, which will provide you another opportunity to share your feedback regarding the Marshfield Public Schools. An invitation to serve on the Strategic Plan Working Group will also be sent out soon. Please consider joining us in building a better future for our students.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey W. Granatino
Superintendent of Schools
