STRATEGIC PRIORITY 4: A VIBRANT COMMUNITY

Pegasus has long benefited from a genuine, collaborative, and joyful school community. While this is fundamental to who we are, we take nothing for granted. A letter of acceptance to Pegasus is both an invitation and an obligation to actively participate in our community in order to preserve the integrity of the Pegasus culture. We view our parents as partners in education. Wellinformed and profoundly engaged student, parent, faculty, and administrative bodies enrich the whole. Each member brings unique strengths and expertise, and drawing from those natural resources elevates everyone’s experience. We intend to deepen our commitment to become an even more inclusive and diverse community.

Goal 4.1

Support a vibrant and inclusive community by providing diverse opportunities for parental engagement. This may include social events, ambassador programs, classroom volunteers, committee positions, parent education programming, and other supportive roles.

• Identify groups and events, both within Pegasus and the broader community, that contribute to our institutional identity. Find ways to cultivate and foster that support.

• Encourage student service and leadership. Develop additional comprehensive service learning programs that encourage a culture of compassion.

• Define the roles of each group above in enhancing community development and facilitate events to promote the same.

• Conduct periodic assessments of these activities to ensure they enhance an inclusive community atmosphere.

• Recruit and retain talented volunteers from the community to support the school.

Goal 4.2

Ensure our parent communications provide convenient access to all relevant matters. Develop an intentioned and meaningful communication strategy.

• Employ a formal Communication Plan, including procedures and expectations.

• Formalize enhanced Board and committee communications in order to better educate the community regarding opportunities for involvement.

• Solicit and collect parent feedback.
