A 20/20 Vision for our schools

ANDRÉE GREY ED.D.
SUPERINTENDENT
ENCINITAS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

Welcome to 2020 in the Encinitas Union School District! 20/20 is symbolic of a well-focused, clear vision. As we move into this new year, EUSD is focusing on ways to continuously improve the educational opportunities we provide our students in this next chapter of our story. We know that starts with reflecting on where we have been, where we are now and where we need to go.

In reflecting back on our 2019 story, we recognize some of the great accomplishments to support our students learning in the district:

  • District-wide implementation of K-6 Social and Emotional Learning Instruction (T.R.A.C. – Teambuilding, Regulation, Awareness and Community)
  • Opening of our two new, state of the art district-wide Research and Design Studios at Farm Lab
  • District-wide implementation of new, pilot mathematics resources
  • Increased professional development in the areas of mathematics and science
  • District provided Next Generation Science units and training for all teachers
  • CA Dashboard Ratings of Blue (or the highest level) in English Language Arts and Mathematics
  • Increased gains in Language Arts and Language Acquisition for our English Learners
  • Implementation of Newcomer support via Newcomer Academies
  • Implementation of many new sustainability products and practices including steam weed abatement, chemical free, electrostatic cleaners for disinfecting spaces, and battery-operated leaf blowers
  • Increased emphasis on personalized learning for students as we recognize their stories and work to engage learners to content with their unique needs and abilities in mind
  • District-wide implementation of Raptor Visitor Management Safety System

We recognize that learning in 2020 and beyond must be forward thinking as we are preparing students for a more technologically advanced and globally connected world. To support this focus, we are moving ahead with creating a district-wide comprehensive Facilities Master Plan. Students must have learning spaces and environments that are world class and meet the needs of the whole child.

We are working with LPA Design Studios to review how our spaces are maintained and utilized, and to consider how we can best address district educational goals for the future. Each site and each space will be reviewed with stakeholder input to establish a clear vision for what we want our educational environment to be for our students in the next three, five and ten years. We look forward to engaging our families, community and staff in this process as we create the roadmap for the next chapters of EUSD together.

Along with the District’s forward momentum, our team of professionals continues to stay focused on knowing each child and their stories, strengths and gifts. This personalized approach ensures that we provide the best educational program possible.

Thank you for the continued support you provide to our students and our sites.
