A Commitment to Quality
The AASD recognizes the importance of quality and the impact it has on the education of our students. It is through our continuous improvement efforts that we effectively and efficiently affect student achievement.
Since 1985, Q-SITE (Quality Schools Involving Teams for Excellence) councils comprised of teachers, parents, community members and other school staff meet at each building on a regular basis. It is through this collaborative effort that school-wide goals and initiatives are identified to increase student achievement and improve the climate and culture of each individual school.
The customer is the focus of the school district's Quality Management System. Processes are identified, objectives are designed and measured, decisions are data-driven and continuous improvement is a constant aim.
