A Message From Our Superintendent
On behalf of the board of education, administration and staff, I want to welcome you to the DeForest Area School District. I am just one of the many educational leaders who proudly serve this district. DASD has a long tradition of high achieving students, engaged families, and a high-quality faculty and staff. The district has greatly benefited from a very caring community that is proud of its schools, has high expectations for student achievement, and is supportive of the many arts and co-curricular opportunities available to our students. Our community is actively engaged with our schools resulting in outstanding business partnerships, tremendous voter support for school district referendums, and an engagement process called, “Framework for our Future,” that serves as a road map to move the district forward. The DeForest Area School District mission is to engage, challenge, and inspire all students to pursue their full potential.
In order to do that there are twelve statements of culture that we adhere to:
- Keeps students as our central focus.
- Expects hard work, risk taking and continuous growth.
- Creates an environment for students and staff that promotes understanding, respect, and celebration of individuality and diversity.
- Engages community in achieving our common vision.
- Builds relationships that support a positive, caring school community.
- Promotes teamwork throughout the district to achieve a common vision.
- Incorporates joy, fun, and humor in what we do.
- Develops leadership skills at all levels.
- Includes stakeholders in decision-making processes.
- Fosters effective communication throughout the district.
- Encourages innovation.
- Values the efficient and effective use of resources.
I am proud to serve as the Superintendent of this growing and innovative school district. With continued community support and the dedication of this outstanding staff, the DeForest Area School District looks forward to a very exciting and bright future. Thank you for visiting our school district website and I hope to see you in our DASD community soon.
Sincerely,
Dr. Rebecca Toetz
