Portrait of a Learner

The SAU 50 Portrait of a Learner represents a common set of community values which define the characteristics we strive for all of our students to embody by the time they leave 8th Grade. It provides a clear vision and well articulated goals to monitor our progress. The strategic planning document is meant to guide much of our work on implementing our Portrait of a Learner to the fullest extent possible.
