Dear Beach Park District 3 Community,
I hope this message finds you well and enjoying a wonderful summer break. I am writing to share some exciting news about an important development in our school district. As part of our ongoing commitment to providing an exceptional educational experience, we are embarking on a journey to rebrand our district to better align with our newly defined mission and vision.
Over the past several months, our leadership team has been working diligently with all community stakeholders, to articulate a refreshed mission and vision that truly reflect our values, aspirations, and the future we envision for our students. Our new mission is to "Empower our students to learn, lead, and succeed as a connected community." Our vision is that "BPD3 is dedicated to the success of everyone by creating pathways of learning through fostering student engagement with challenging academic experiences, developing community pride and partnerships, creating a responsive and nurturing environment, and advancing a culture centered on relationships and inclusion."
In addition to our mission and vision, we are excited to announce the development of our core values, a Portrait of BPD3 Learners, and district intentions. Our core values will guide our actions and decisions, reflecting our commitment to excellence, integrity, and inclusivity. This comprehensive portrait will outline the key attributes and skills we aim to cultivate in our students, ensuring they are well-prepared for success in a rapidly changing world. Our District intentions will serve as a strategic roadmap, outlining our goals and the specific actions we will take to achieve them.
To bring this mission and vision to life, we are rebranding our district to ensure that our identity and messaging are cohesive, inspiring, and reflective of our renewed focus. This rebranding effort will include updates to our district logo, website, signage, communications, and other materials.
Here are some key highlights of what you can expect in the coming months:
New District Logo and Visual Identity: We will unveil a new logo that embodies the spirit of our mission and vision. This new visual identity will be integrated across all district communications and materials.
Updated Website and Communication Channels: Our website will be redesigned to provide a more user-friendly experience, with improved navigation and updated content that reflects our new mission and vision. You will also see these updates in our newsletters, social media, and other communication platforms.
Enhanced School Signage and Materials: Our schools will receive updated mascots, signage and materials to ensure a consistent and inspiring environment that aligns with our new brand identity.
Celebration of Our New Brand: We are thrilled to announce that the unveiling and celebration of our new brand will take place at the Back to School Bash on August 5th. Join us for this special event to see our new logo, learn more about our mission and vision, and celebrate the start of an exciting new chapter for our district. Along with the schools in our greater community, Zion 6, Zion 126, and Winthrop Harbor 1.
We are excited about this transformative journey and believe that our new brand will strengthen our sense of community, pride, and purpose. Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we work together to create an inspiring and enriching educational experience for ALL our students.
We look forward to embarking on this exciting new chapter with you!
Warm regards,
Dr. Denise Wilcox, Superintendent
