Dear WPS Community,
The Worcester Public Schools are developing core values. Core values are fundamental beliefs and guiding principles that a school community shares to frame their actions. They help create a common understanding of how to interact and communicate. Core values are practical, non-negotiable, help shape culture, determine priorities, and guide decision-making.
We need your input on what important core values are for the Worcester Public Schools. To gather your feedback, we're using a tool called ThoughtExchange. All of our voices matter, so your participation is crucial and valued.
Join to participate by January 15, 2025.
You'll be asked to respond to open-ended questions, consider and assign stars to some of the ideas shared by others, and learn what important core values are to the WPS Community.
Your thoughts and stars are confidential. You can come back as often as you'd like to participate and, in fact, we ask that you do come back to star some of the new values shared since you first participated. The ratings will help us understand the most important core values to focus on.
Your participation in developing our core values will be brought to the Strategic Plan Steering Committee for final development in February. We will announce the Worcester Public Schools core values in the Spring.
Thank you in advance for your help and input.
Superintendent Monárrez
