Strategic Plan
Vibrant Community & Connection
Vibrant Community and Connection
The values of Shore’s Community Code call on members of our community to deepen relationships, understanding, and connectedness among our students, faculty and staff, families, and ultimately the wider community. The Strategic Plan calls for increased programming to honor the distinct role of our House System, the exploration of additional gathering spaces, and an investment in faculty and staff well-being to strengthen the interconnectedness of our community. By sharing our expertise with the public, Shore will reinforce its position as the thought leader in early, elementary, and middle school education north of Boston.

Initiatives
To realize our literacy achievement goal, we will launch the "Reading Renaissance" initiative starting in the fall semester. This initiative involves adopting the 'Words Matter' phonics program and integrating daily, dedicated reading workshops into the middle school schedule. We will also purchase and deploy 100 new, high-interest non-fiction texts for the library to diversify reading materials. Furthermore, monthly collaborative planning sessions will be mandated for grade-level teams to analyze student data and refine instructional strategies based on emergent needs. These coordinated steps will provide the necessary resources and structural support to drive the desired improvement in student literacy outcomes.
