Keys to Success A strong academic curriculum for kindergarten through eighth grade in the subjects of language arts, math, social studies, science, as well as in art, physical education, and music Maintaining / increasing current enrollment in the school (this will ultimately affect the need for an expansion plan for the school) Increasing function of the Advancement Office to allow for more communication and marketing with current school families, and the greater community Organize marketing plan in relation to 4 main pillars for success: Communication, Fundraising, Volunteerism, and Enrollment

Marketing Communication We must foster meaningful relationships with our core and extended community. We must promote our brand and reputation to a wide community. Fundraising We must develop, plan and implement cost-effective and proven fundraising activities. Opportunities should exist that reach a broad base of donors as well as those that are internal to the school. Volunteerism We must assist in centralizing, coordinating, and managing the school’s volunteer programs in support of the school’s mission and vision statements. We will develop opportunities for school families and non-school members to participate in programs in cooperation with the PTA. Enrollment We must have a simple but well designed recruitment and retention plan to maximize enrollment goals. As part of this plan, we must understand the potential for growth and the need for possible expansion.
