Strategic Plan
Blueprint for Excellence
Dear Members of the Pine Plains School Community,
It has never been more important to be focused, aligned and intentional in our work. We are very excited to share the results of our collaborative efforts to develop plans that will help us to continue growing and improving as we always strive for excellence.
Our “Blueprint for Excellence” is the result of planning sessions that were held with our Board of Education, Leadership Team, staff, parents, and community members. We worked with feedback gathered from the community this past fall as we developed a plan that will help us continue to grow and achieve as we strive for excellence in all that we do.
This plan will be the backbone for what we do. It will serve as a roadmap in our efforts to connect with each child and family while enhancing our connections as a school and a community. We’re in this work together and look forward to being your teammate in our continued effort to be a model school of excellence.
Thank you for your feedback and support. Your collaboration and teamwork make all the difference in the lives of children and the success of the district.
Sincerely,
Dr. Brian Timm
Superintendent of Schools
