“CONQUEST 2028” What is “Conquest 2028”?
It is the responsibility of all stakeholders to adapt and change to provide opportunities for each and every student to ACHIEVE! Education has vastly changed over the past decade and the Hayward School District must be flexible to meet the ever-‐changing needs of our students, parents, staff, and community. In order to provide these educational opportunities, we must have a shared vision with a strategic focus. That is why we created “Conquest 2028”, the Hayward School District’s plan to increase academic and social achievement for all of our students. “Conquest 2028” is built around our 10 pillars of education. These pillars of excellence encompass what a child experiences in the course of a school year. This systemic approach provides clear building and district level goals that are reviewed on a quarterly basis. Conquest 2028 provides the long-‐term expectations that match the yearly goals. Simply put, “Conquest 2028” provides the expectations and the road map for where we want the Hayward School District to be in the year 2028. We have gained momentum over the past five years and have a lot of work ahead of us, but with collaborative effort and a focus on academic and social achievement, we are confident we will reach our goals. CREATING “CONQUEST 2028” The Hayward School District leadership and School Board worked collaboratively in order to develop a long-‐term shared vision, which is systemic and consistent with our 10 pillars of educational excellence. “Conquest 2028” is the district’s comprehensive plan to increase student’s academic and social achievement. The Hayward School District has a clear mission and a systemic year-‐to-‐year goals process. “Conquest 2028” will provide the framework that will guide us to reach our long-‐term goals. This framework will guide us as how we prioritize our budget, staffing, and physical resources.
