Strategic Initiatives 

Accelerating Growth and Achievement Plan
AGSD is focused on accelerating student growth and achievement by strengthening our multi-tiered system of scaffolded supports (MTSS) in each building. Each school will develop an Accelerating Growth and Achievement Plan (AGAP) using the following two goal areas: Focus on High-Quality Academics and Foster Supportive Learning Environments.

Comprehensive Literacy Plan 
AGSD is committed to ensuring that all students achieve the highest levels of literacy performance. In order to accomplish this goal, AGSD embarked upon developing a comprehensive literacy plan during the 2018-2019 school year, which is now updated on an annual basis. The plan is modeled after the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s “Pennsylvania State Literacy Plan” (PaSLP) and embodies a theme of “Illuminating Literacy.” View our Comprehensive Literacy Plan - Illuminating Literacy.

Comprehensive Plan
During the 2021-2022 school year, AGSD updated its Comprehensive Plan, which is currently in effect through June 30, 2025. Currently, the Future Ready Steering Team is developing the new plan for 2025-2028. 

Facilities Master Plan
The overall intent of the Facilities Strategic Initiative is to evaluate the current building infrastructure and develop a plan for the future aligned with the mission and vision of Avon Grove School District. The plan includes best uses for the existing facilities and sites to meet the needs of students, based on the strategic plan, the educational programs and enrollment projections. In addition, the plan includes renovation and maintenance needs for the current buildings as well as the potential for future expansion of facilities based upon the educational goals of the district. For more information, visit the Facilities page. 

Dual Language Immersion Program
At the start of the 2022-2023 school year, AGSD implemented a dual language immersion program to aid students in the development of bilingualism and biliteracy. In each classroom, half of the students are native speakers of English and the other half are native speakers of Spanish. Similarly, half of the students' instructional day is conducted in English and half is conducted in Spanish. For more information, visit our Dual Language Immersion Program webpage. 

Profile of a Future Ready Avon Grove Graduate
To support students in becoming Future Ready, AGSD designed the Profile of a Future Ready Avon Grove Graduate. The Profile was designed to establish clear outcomes for students, that are aligned with the needs of our community and the 21st century workforce. For more information, read our Profile of a Graduate final report. 

Strategic Communications Plan
Effective communication is a strategic focus for the District, ensuring students, parents, and staff remain well-informed and engaged. As a result of a 2020-2021 communications audit, AGSD implemented a three-year Strategic Communication Plan with core areas of focus and recommended actions meant to strategically position AGSD for the future. Review the 2022-2025 Strategic Communications Plan. The new plan is in development for 2025-2028.
