Meaningful school planning is a process, not an event…NVSD School Planning Working Group
School planning is a collaborative process that helps identify the strengths of our school and areas for further development for both students and ourselves. School planning enhances and supports meaningful learning and development at the classroom, school and district levels.
Through our stakeholder working group we identified three essential strands to inform and guide the school planning process: 1) Values and Vision; 2) Engagement and Learning; and 3) Collaboration, Communication, and Community.
These strands form the intended outcomes and provide clarity of focus for school planning and development. In addition, we developed a practical web based tool kit for school planning teams to support their Vision to Action Process.

The School Plan is a living document that articulates the shared priorities by the school community for Enhancing Student Learning.
School priorities are determined through a collaborative appreciative inquiry process that highlights the strengths of the school and areas for future development. School planning is a part of the ongoing process of ensuring Vibrant Learning Communities for students, staff, and community.

Respect, Responsibility, Safety
The staff of Canyon Heights began a year ago to look at our school climate.
