The mission of the Nampa School District is to ensure high levels of achievement for every student.
Every student is fully engaged in extraordinary learning experiences, preparing for successful transition to the next stage of life.
(1) establishing and faithfully delivering a guaranteed and viable curriculum to all students that fully aligns with essential standards and future success;
(2) assuring that each student masters each essential standard through highly effective instruction;
(3) having teachers work together in Professional Learning Communities to monitor student progress and adjust instruction to guarantee student achievement;
(4) focusing relentlessly on student achievement as the measure of the effectiveness of instruction and leadership; and
(5) providing highly effective leadership in each school and throughout the district that supports and focuses on the first four strategies.
Every student, regardless of personal circumstances, neighborhood, school or classroom will have the opportunity and support to master essential content through a well-articulated and faithfully delivered instructional program that is focused on standards.
Every student, every day, every classroom and program will be engaged in learning experiences that are challenging, research-based, and frequently monitored by measures of student growth.
Teachers and other staff work together in professional learning communities to develop opportunities and assessments for learning, to analyze student work, and plan together in ways that ensure improved student outcomes.
