Building a Learning Community

The WDMCS partner with our parents and community members to create an outstanding learning environment for our children.

One way we work together is through the Becoming a Learning Community (BLC) Committee, which is made up of both district staff and parents.

 About the Committee

The committee’s purpose is to study data that identifies any “gaps” between the education and environment that exists in our schools and our goals. It then makes recommendations to the school board on:

• Major educational needs
• Student learning goals
• Long-range goals
• Harassment of bullying prevention goals, programs, training and other initiatives
• Multi-cultural, gender fair issues and gifted and talented initiatives

The recommendations this committee provides annually to the school board make a difference in our district goals and direction. Additionally, issues and conversation around equity and diversity help us to have a greater knowledge and understanding of all students and families that are part of the WDMCS.
