Welcome To Our District
 

Vision:  Leading for Success in the 21st Century

 

Mission:  Ensure a rigorous and relevant education that develops productive citizens for a local and global community

 

Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day

Our children have only one chance for a great education. Together we need to get it right.

 

How do these words come to life and become our culture?

  • Care about every child as if they were your own
  • Ensure every child makes the gains necessary each year to close all achievement gaps by graduation
  • Focus on the needs of students not the subject matter - one size does not fit all (flexibility and choice)
  • Provide a learning environment where every child feels safe and respected, regardless of their race, socioeconomic status, religion, culture, etc.
  • Ensure ALL stakeholders feel valued and respected
  • Ensure ALL stakeholders understand their connection to the success of every child
  • Provide frequent and transparent communications with ALL stakeholders
  • Be efficient with our financial resources
  • Strive to exceed our own expectations
  • Always embrace honesty, integrity and accountability (even when it’s tough to hear) 

The Redmond School District has earned a well deserved reputation for strong schools that offer a wide range of opportunities for students.

 

It is our goal that all graduates have the knowledge and skills of highly literate students; students who are work-ready and/or college-ready and have the tools necessary to be successful participants in the 21st century workplace.

 

The district draws its 7,000+ students from a 550 square mile area which includes Redmond and the unique neigh­boring communities of Alfalfa, Crooked River Ranch, Eagle Crest, Terrebonne and Tumalo – each area holding a strong appeal for families. 
 
This district currently operates five K-5 elementary schools; two K-8 community schools, two middle schools, one charter school, one educational center and one comprehensive high school. 

 

We employ over 730 staff and have a 2011-12 operating budget of $52.6 million.

 

Community support of education is evident as almost 60% of voters approved the passage of a $110M bond measure in May 2008.  This vote of confidence allows the district to make necessary repairs and remodels to existing buildings, build a new replacement 600-student elementary (Sage) and build a second comprehensive 1,400-student high school (Ridgeview).  The Sage Elementary Owls opened its doors to student in 2010, and the Ridgeview Ravens will open in 2012.

 

Our dedication and focus on student success will continue to be the driving force in every decision we make. Our students are the future and together we will ensure every child, has every chance, every day.
