LAUSD STRATEGIC PLAN
Dear Vanalden Families,
We’re excited about the start of the 2022-23 school year on August 15. We look forward to having everyone back on campus, learning together as we begin a new year.
I also wanted to remind families that the Los Angeles Unified School District released our 2022-26 Strategic Plan. For the next four years, Los Angeles Unified will focus on a singular goal: to ensure ALL students graduate READY FOR THE WORLD - to thrive in college, career and life. We are committed to providing quality instruction that meets the needs of all students, focusing on social-emotional wellness and collaborating with our families so that our entire extended community may contribute toward student success. Please take a look and learn more about the District’s Strategic Plan by visiting achieve.lausd.net/strategicplan.
We are partners in your child’s education, and we will learn and grow together to ensure the success of our future leaders.
Click on the Headline "LAUSD Strategic Plan" to access the Strategic Plan.
Sincerely,
Yoshim Yang
Principal
