Continuous Improvement System: Ogden School District will use its CIS evaluation system, which is designed to improve student achievement, enhance professional practice and effectiveness, provide opportunities for professional growth and development, recognize highly effective educators, and guide necessary personnel decisions.

NEXUS 2030 aims to improve the collective capacity of employees and partners so that each individual, department and partnership contributes individually and in concert toward continuous improvement. NEXUS 2030 establishes short- and long-term plans for professional learning and implementation of learning. It guides the District in coordinating learning experiences designed to achieve outcomes for educators and students. It is a set of purposeful, planned actions and support systems necessary to achieve Ogden School District's strategic goals.

Being in school consistently is important to ensuring children gain a strong foundation for subsequent learning. Achievement, especially in mathematics, is very sensitive to attendance, and absence of even two weeks during one school year matters. Attendance also strongly affects standardized test scores and graduation and dropout rates. Chronic absenteeism (missing more than 10% of the school year) is most prevalent among low-income students. Poor attendance in kindergarten is associated with lower academic performance in first grade. There is a strong relationship between sixth-grade attendance and the percentage of students graduating on time. Lastly, poor attendance increases the achievement gaps at the elementary, middle and high school levels. (Balfanz & Byrnes, 2012)

Objective 1: 100% of teachers take attendance daily for every class period.
Objective 2: Increase the number of students with 95% attendance or higher (regular attenders) to 65% by 2030.
Objective 3: All schools will take the Tiered Attendance Checklist—to measure levels of attendance systems implementation—and show  5%  improvement yearly or have 90% or better by 2022.

We partner with business, community, and parent organizations in furthering and advancing the mission of the district. We promise student participation through community service learning. We value, encourage, and expect family involvement in our schools. We seek to provide clear, accurate and effective communication to all stakeholders. We call for respect from all individuals for our students, our employees, our learning environment, and our diverse community.
