Indicators of {and for} Success

Camas School District stands on the belief in growth for every student. We use “growth markers” that help us monitor and support students through each grade level so they graduate college career- and community-ready. These markers help us intervene, enrich, and extend learning for each student and provide valuable information for how our district can continue to improve.

Focusing on Caring, Quality & Growth

The three main goals of our 2020 Vision will strengthen current student supports and drive new initiatives focused on maximizing student learning.

CARING

TOGETHER WE CARE ABOUT EACH LEARNER and will provide high-quality instruction that results in continuous growth and academic success for all students.

QUALITY

TOGETHER WE CREATE A QUALITY SCHOOL CLIMATE that fosters a culture of encouragement and celebrates student success at all levels. The environment is focused on the needs and aspirations of the whole child—enabling a climate of mutual respect, inspired learning, and the development of character and life skills.

GROWTH

TOGETHER WE EMBRACE A GROWTH MINDSET and systems that sustain that growth
