Bright Star Schools: Our Focus for 2025-2026

At Bright Star Schools, our work is our promise to our students, families, and communities.

We’re ready for a strong 2025-2026 school year! Together, we are:

• Grounded in one mission,
• One team, with hundreds of teammates backing each other up,
• Guided by 5 outcomes (see below) so every Bright Star student succeeds, and
• Building a data informed, data responsive culture so our students thrive.

This year, we are collectively focusing on 5 outcomes this year to ensure our students’ success:

These 5 outcomes were chosen intentionally:

• Student Voice & Belonging matters at every grade level. We’re focused on growing it this year.
• Daily Attendance is a key marker for student success both academically and socially-emotionally. We’re focusing on strong school cultures so that students want to be at school.
• Strong Literacy is crucial for students’ success in school and life. By 3rd grade, strong reading predicts academic success, graduation, and life outcomes.
• Math Achievement opens doors to advanced coursework, college readiness, and future career opportunities. A strong math identity builds confidence and critical thinking skills.
• Excellent Educators are essential for student learning and success. We want to grow and retain our excellent teachers at Bright Star.

We look forward to a great school year, together!
