Superintendent’s Message
December 2009
Welcome to the Windsor Southwest Supervisory Union (WSWSU). Our district is comprised of eight Vermont village and town school districts organized to provide instruction for students from Pre Kindergarten to Grade Twelve. Educating students from Andover,Baltimore, Cavendish, Chester, Londonderry, Landgrove, Peru and Weston, school structures include two Grades K-6 elementary schools, one Grades K-8 elementary/middle school, one Grades 7-12 middle/high school and a district-wide alternative education program. High school choice is available for students residing in the mountain towns of Londonderry, Landgrove, Peru and Weston which do not operate public high schools. Additional choice is also available to students enrolled in Green Mountain Union High School through a regional public school choice agreement with area high
schools.
High expectations of student achievement, strong parental involvement, focus on technology and the arts and educating the whole child are hallmarks of each of our schools. Our experienced and dedicated teaching and student support staff provide high quality first instruction to all students and specialized instruction to those students needing additional services and individual education plans.
The Windsor Southwest Supervisory Union administrative team provides leadership and service to member district school boards and schools by coordinating policy development, general administration including federal grant management, special education,professional development, curriculum, instruction and assessment. Business service coordination varies depending on district.
On a daily basis we strive to build capacity for success for all students and foster collaboration within and among each of our schools. Our district administrative council meets on a regular basis and is made up of assistant principals, principals, WSWSU central office business manager, special education director, assistant superintendent and superintendent. We work closely with school technology leaders and general and special education teachers in technology integration, planning professional development and curriculum development. Our goal is to respond to the needs of our students and the communities we serve by providing the highest quality education possible at an affordable cost. If I or any of our staff can assist you, please contact us at 802-875-3365.
Sincerely,
David P. Adams
