Invitation to Complete the Core Values Survey

Since April 2010 a committee established by the Ralph C. Mahar Regional School District has been meeting to update and revise the district’s strategic plan. As a part of this process, The 2010 Strategic Plan Core Value Survey has been developed by the “Strategic Planning Steering Committee” to gather input from members of the whole school community. Information from completed surveys will assist the committee in identifying and prioritizing the communities’ beliefs and ensuring that they are incorporated into the new strategic plan.

Your opinions and suggestions are critical to the preparation of what will become the next five-year strategic plan for the Ralph C. Mahar Regional School District. This plan is being designed to improve the overall educational experience for the students of the Ralph C. Mahar Regional School and it will serve as the foundation upon which decisions are made. The ultimate goal of the strategic plan is to ensure that the R.C. Mahar Regional School continues to move in a direction congruent with the school’s vision and mission and to ensure that the school’s efforts and actions are reflective of the plan’s core values and beliefs.

Copies of the core value survey can be picked up and dropped off at the Town Halls, Schools, Libraries, and Senior Centers in Orange, Wendell, Petersham, and New Salem. The survey may also be completed online by visiting the school’s website at www.rcmahar.org and clicking on the Core Value Survey link. This survey will be available between Monday, September 13, 2010 and Wednesday, October 13, 2010.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the survey.
