3 La Grande School District Mission Statement In the La Grande School District we believe every student can learn and deserves a safe, motivating, and challenging school environment. Therefore, it is the mission of the La Grande School District to provide a learning environment where educators work collaboratively to ensure that each student maximizes their learning. To accomplish this mission we will use best practices and data to ask and answer: 1. What do we want our students to learn? 2. How will we know what students have learned? 3. How do we respond when they don't learn? 4. How do we respond when they do learn?

4 Group Activity Discuss what school/district/state/federal initiatives you have experienced in the last five years? What are/were the outcomes?
