REAL change in our district does not happen just by observing or making a single comment.
Change requires consistent effort, ongoing collaboration, and commitment over time. It’s the steady work of showing up, contributing ideas, and following through that truly moves our schools forward.
We need YOUR HELP to make any more change within our district. The time is NOW before the next 5 year strategic plan is set in stone.

4. TALK about your concerns with your child’s doctors, teachers and administrators! Consider asking your doctor/optometrist to write any screen restrictions that are necessary.
YES! It IS OKAY to ask your child’s teacher to have your child’s work be done on “old fashioned” pen and paper. Believe it or not, many parents are requesting this!!
If you want to know more about the strategic plan, see below.
If not, SEE YOU MONDAY at the next board meeting. Raise your voice and not your hand this time!
Thank you in advance for any effort you can put in.
With collective strength and shared purpose,
Learning Unplugged D39
