Year 1 · 2026 – 2027

Stabilization and Universal Support

"One Foundation for Every Learner"

Focus. Establishing the essential foundations required to guarantee high-quality first instruction for all students.

Vision

Every WUSD student is welcomed into a safe, supportive environment with a world-class instructional base.

Mission

We will establish the Tier I systems of academic, behavioral, and wellness support required to guarantee high-quality first instruction for all.

The Why

Year 1 is grounded in the MTSS Framework, which identifies Universal Support as the first and most critical step toward high-quality implementation. Evidence-based practices must be accessible to all students, regardless of subgroup status. Priorities are QSF Element 3 (Curriculum) and Element 6 (Instruction), ensuring best first instruction for every child. By establishing the Assessment Triangle — Cognition, Observation, Interpretation — we create feedback loops for teachers and parents. Aligned with the SoLD framework, we build supportive environments, strong relationships, and community. We move from random acts of family involvement toward an intentional, systemic partnership from birth to adulthood.
