Strategic Planning

At the start of the 2024-2025 school year, Cranbury School began the process of building a Strategic Plan to guide and design the future of our school community over the next five years.  This process launched with the Cranbury School Town Hall Conversation held in October 2024, wherein members of the school community and the community-at-large learned about our district goals, construction updates, strategic planning and equity. Targeted questions will be asked of those in attendance and later shared with the broader school and Cranbury community, as well as a video recording of the event. 

Since the Town Hall Conversation event, the overall Cranbury community, as well as current and former parents, staff and students have had the opportunity to provide feedback via a survey regarding our curriculum and activities offered to our students, the culture and climate within our school, our use of technology, professional development efforts and school safety and security, amongst other topics. The results will be culled and formulated into areas of strength, growth and things to consider.  This information will be presented to the community in the Spring.
