There is a group of people from across the great Itasca County area who have participated in a series of community conversations about how to implement strategies to ensure that ALL students are successful.  St. Joseph's School has participated in these conversations, and Teresa Matetich is part of the core team that guides this effort.  We believe that all our children deserve to feel they are valued by our community and know they are supported in their efforts to reach their full potential. 

The Blandin Foundation is working with our groups to help us clarify what we want and what we need to do. IASC (Itasca Area Schools Collaborative) supports this work. 

Our thinking about this effort is summed up in a draft roadmap.  If you would like to review this roadmap, go to  http://www.itascastudentsuccess.org.

Thank you for your interest in this community-wide effort.
