Based in the beautiful, historic town of Woodstock,

MISSION STATEMENT
The Windsor
Central Supervisory Union Faculty, Staff, Administration and Boards of School
Directors endorse practicing inclusion and inter-curricular instruction techniques
in our schools. We value these practices, such as integrating by theme and
engaging multiple intelligences, because they focus and intensify the
development of our students as lifelong learners, responsible citizens,
productive workers, and successful people. We support the ongoing education of
our faculty, staff and administration to meet these goals.
The education
community fully endorses the practice of an articulated educational program of
study that is developmentally appropriate, beginning in Kindergarten and
continuing through twelfth grade graduation. Our intent is that these practices
will help our students learn the content and skills needed in each discipline,
practice higher order thinking skills, build character, and prepare for work while
making the learning experience richer and more significant for every student.

Dear Students, Families, Staff and Friends of WCSU:
It is a great honor to introduce myself as the new
Superintendent of the Windsor Central Supervisory Union schools. I’m delighted to
be working here with so many talented and committed people all of whom are
fully dedicated to supporting the academic, social and emotional growth of the
students in our care.
Within WCSU, our school and local communities are
strong. This was reaffirmed recently in the face of the difficult challenges
presented by the late summer tropical storm that prevented us from opening
schools on time. It is the strength of community, dedication of the WCSU
employees and support of committed school board members that enabled us to stay
on course and begin the school year with optimism.
What attracted me most to the supervisory union and
this position was the diversity of our schools and programs. It is the
unique characteristics of each school that make us such a vibrant organization.
It is also an opportunity and challenge for me to bring the organization
together in a way that can preserve and honor that uniqueness while marshaling
and maximizing the combined and shared talents in each community to ensure equity
of opportunity and prudent use of scarce resources.
With this in mind, I will strive to promote and
provide opportunities for collaboration and cohesiveness that will allow us to
learn from each other, capitalize on shared talent, and maximize our resources
for the benefit of our students. School and schooling can be a wonderful
experience for children and young adults and we will continue to meet our
responsibility to provide meaningful and relevant learning opportunities that
are challenging and inspirational. I am proud to have been selected to lead the
supervisory union as it works to fulfill its mission and look forward
continuing the high quality work begun by those before me.
Sincerely,
Alice Thomason Worth
