Strategic Plan

2023-24 Strategic Planning Process

Exciting news! West Des Moines Community Schools (WDMCS) is developing an up-to-date operational plan to provide clarity and focus for the next several years. This process will happen until August 2024, and it's the first time since 2017. We want everyone's input – students, teachers, families, and community members. An organization called TeamWorks will help us with consulting and planning. We'll keep you updated through our website, newsletters, and social media. Thanks for being a part of our planning journey!
