Insights Survey

This year, the district is replacing the Speakup survey with a new, shorter Technology survey to gather better data. Please complete this survey prior to Friday, April 4th.

The purpose of this survey is to inform our Technology plans and Ed Tech initiatives across the district. By collecting feedback from various stakeholders, we can better understand how technology is perceived and used in our schools. This insight will enable us to provide better support for teachers and remove barriers for students, ultimately maximizing student learning through technology.

For all schools that meet 30% participation rate from parents, they will be entered to win additional funding for technology. Please help us meet this goal by taking a few minutes to complete this survey. Thank you!

Week in Review: Culture Fair

Students did a wonderful job creating and presenting beautiful displays about their cultures, traditions, and language from other countries. During arts classes, all students got to come and learn about the different cultures of their classmates by visiting the tables and filling out a passport to share insights and questions that they had.

Week in Review: Cultural Celebration

Thank you so much to all of the families who joined their students from the school day's event and brought food to share. It was delicious and such fun to learn and play together Friday night! The first ever evening continuation of the Culture Fair was a great success!
