School Improvement Resources
This portion of the website is designed to support our district's school improvement teams. There are three teams in the district: an elementary team, a middle school team, and a high school team. There is also a district school improvement plan that unites the elements in each of our school's improvement plans.
The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) recommends our schools use the Gather, Study, Plan, Do cycle when thinking about improving our schools and district.
