Dear Grand Erie District School Board Families:
The Grand Erie District School Board has launched a renewed strategic plan, We Lead Forward, to support learner success over the next four years.
The feedback from students, employees and the community played a significant role in shaping the plan and helped affirm our system's strengths and the priorities that will lead us forward.
Through participation in focus groups and a system-wide survey, there was strong alignment around what matters most in Grand Erie, including learning, well-being, and belonging, while also emphasizing future readiness, relationships, inclusion, and support for every learner.
Over the past five years, we’ve improved literacy and math achievement and graduation results, deepened student engagement, invested in employee capacity, enhanced mental health and well-being supports, and taken bold steps to create learning environments where every student feels valued, heard, and empowered to succeed.
Guided by feedback, we remain focused on what matters most: high expectations, driving measurable progress and creating meaningful learning experiences that prepare every learner for a bright future.
We have introduced two important components to the strategic plan: Commitments to Action and Graduate Profile.
We are not changing direction. We will improve how we work together to support success for every learner. These Commitments to Action reflect both the values that guide us and the actions that shape our daily work.

The Graduate Profile reflects our shared commitment to developing the knowledge, skills and attributes that learners need to lead with confidence, contribute with purpose, and thrive in an ever-changing world.
We Lead Forward represents our collective vision for the future and our belief in the limitless potential of every student. This strategic plan is not a change in direction. It’s a refreshed roadmap that builds on our strengths and guides how we move forward together.
