Passing of the last levy. The community has been supportive. Put some wind behind the sails for the district to think differently and not with the scarcity mindset.

2023-11-30 23:49:28 UTC

2023-11-30 23:50:05 UTC

2023-11-30 23:52:51 UTC

Algo muy importante es la conexion de los estudintes. Mis hijos vinieron a esata escuela y una cosa que yo veo exitoso en el caso de mis hijos es la intervension que los maestros tenian con mis hijos.

2023-11-30 23:52:53 UTC

high school support team has been amazing - mental health, whole child

2023-11-30 23:53:01 UTC

Los maestros hicieron siempre una intervension.

2023-11-30 23:53:05 UTC

decision making process has changed to being more transparent and open to ideas. Everyones story counts and we are more inclusive

2023-11-30 23:53:12 UTC

Appreciate the new Dakota language classes. It makes a huge difference for the students of Prairie Island.

2023-11-30 23:53:25 UTC

dedication of extra-curricular teachers helps to keep my student going - improves school life immensely

2023-11-30 23:53:56 UTC

2023-11-30 23:54:07 UTC

My daughter was able to do single subject acceleration and took the ACT in 7th grade and scored higher than I did in high school.

The Veterans Day celebrations have been good, and the involvement of Prairie Island is impressive.

2023-11-30 23:54:15 UTC

Otra cosa que me gustaria agregar es que los maestros que tiene la escuela Sunnyside es el sacrificio que dan extra por ayudar a los estudiantes Hispanos. Yo tuve la experiencia con ellos. He visto maestros que se esfuerzan por ayudar a estudiantes Hispanos y quiero recalcar esto. Son muy humaanos, No todos los maestros tienen.

2023-11-30 23:54:19 UTC

teachers across the board are great at going above and beyond

2023-11-30 23:54:30 UTC

Flightpath program. Community is open and excited to have the students gain experience. Community sees the value in growing our own

2023-11-30 23:54:36 UTC

as employee, everything feels much more positive now - leadership is working hard to change things toward the positive

2023-11-30 23:55:01 UTC

The new communications - Anne is doing a phenomenal job. We're all trained to receive the newsletters.

2023-11-30 23:55:02 UTC

improvement in communication

2023-11-30 23:55:15 UTC

La actitud del maestro, la personalidad hay maestros que se comprometen mas que otros y van mas alla ayudando a los estudiantes Hispanos.

2023-11-30 23:55:46 UTC

readers theater - acting class- is fun

2023-11-30 23:55:52 UTC

Adult interaction in Pathways builds resiliency and the experiences set them up for better understanding of life skills and exposes students to real life and can help them relize that they like or dislike the experience and not waste time and money after HS in pursuing a field.

2023-11-30 23:56:25 UTC

El niño hispano quiere venir escuela a pesar de todos los retos que tienen, y de las dificultades que tienen.

2023-11-30 23:56:39 UTC

community education opportunities - content has grown with the breadth of classes offered - affordable and planned well. A lot of enjoyment in the classes - smaller and more personalized

2023-11-30 23:57:14 UTC

Familias se siente felices aqui por que hay muchos recursos economicos por ejemplo free bus, free food, etc.

2023-11-30 23:57:44 UTC

Flightpaths opens doors for all types of educational opportunities and not every kid needs to go to a 4 year university. Individual skills built and used for life. Adds quality to their skill banc and is a great investment.

2023-11-30 23:57:52 UTC

not as much complaining about bus schedules lately - quick response when there was an issue

2023-11-30 23:58:04 UTC

La colaboracion que hay entre la escuela con la organizacion de los Hispanos.

2023-11-30 23:58:42 UTC

support at colvill school has been responsive, supportive, communicative

2023-11-30 23:59:26 UTC

Educational experiences are more tailored and beneficial for all. Art and Music programs support. Many outlets are available for students that reach out and take advantage

2023-11-30 23:59:36 UTC

Connections between the schools and community are growing stronger through Flightpaths. Valuable and great experiential learning opportunities. It is important to find learning in other places than the school.

2023-11-30 23:59:49 UTC

Food service is improved from years past :)

2023-11-30 23:59:59 UTC

thankful for fernbrook and other mental health services being present at the schools

2023-12-01 00:00:07 UTC

El distrito ha sido exitoso cuando alimentan las relaciones con las organizaciones de la comunidad. Eso ha ayudado mucho a que los estudiantes reciban ayuda extra a los niños.

2023-12-01 00:01:00 UTC

increase in use of PBIS - positive behavior intervention tickets are being used more often for positive behaviors

2023-12-01 00:01:08 UTC

Community opportunties for student involvement outside of the school. (Arts, Sister Cities, Community Ed)

2023-12-01 00:01:20 UTC

We have a more whole person approach which includes PSEO, sports, theatre, languages, etc

2023-12-01 00:01:35 UTC

Me gustaria saber que cantidad de personal bililgue en la escuela?

2023-12-01 00:01:39 UTC

appreciated the fact that there are so many art opportunities, visual arts, theatre music industrial arts

2023-12-01 00:02:05 UTC

Soliciting community input in this event is a good idea.

Grade level school build a more cohesive system--kids come up together

As a former teacher who worked in the neighborhood school system, there were issues with kids coming together in middle school. The current system allows all to come together. "Every nerd can find a herd."

Cluster program (G&T) worked well. (Not sure if it is still in place)

Some amazing and dedicated teachers - committed staff

Supportive community -- Jones Foundation, Rise Up RW, many businesses who support students through internships

Superintendents who interviewed were impressed with the many community & non-profit partnerships

Native American graduation is impressive

Towerview is an asset

Fortunate to have a fairly diverse community for a rural area

Honoring Dakota project --brought more visibility and awareness to people with brown skin.

Dakota Language class is so cool! Also Native Lit

Student Groups--Black Student Union, NASA, GSA

Cual es el plan de contratar mas personal bilingua o cultural competente?

2023-12-01 00:02:06 UTC

Student groups support all types of students and are growing in positive ways

2023-12-01 00:02:08 UTC

support for kids with special needs has been good at the high school

2023-12-01 00:02:22 UTC

PSEO

2023-12-01 00:07:39 UTC

Communication between families schools and colleges around PSEO

2023-12-01 00:08:11 UTC

lack of trust for teachers and principals

2023-12-01 00:08:14 UTC

teachers can't get kids motivated

2023-12-01 00:08:49 UTC

Concerns about MNSE financial vs benefit to our students

2023-12-01 00:08:55 UTC

Challenge to connect with the counselors in a timely manner. Difficult to know/manage the credits/pathway to graduation.

2023-12-01 00:09:15 UTC

Yo creo que uno de los desafios para mi comunidad es proveer el apoyo a los estudiantes, no es solo traducir los documentos necesitan mas persoal bilingue.

2023-12-01 00:09:27 UTC

during distance learning, not as much extra help from teachers - they were on a break - now they need to come back and teach and it is overwhelming

2023-12-01 00:09:47 UTC

Struggles experienced by African American students

2023-12-01 00:09:58 UTC

el incremento del compartamiento no aporpiado en los estudiantes

2023-12-01 00:09:58 UTC

kids are behind because of covid break

2023-12-01 00:10:04 UTC

Hard to distinguish what is happening with students who are coming and going from campus for PSEO or other reasons

2023-12-01 00:10:06 UTC

8th grade student schedule preference didn't match final scheduling.

2023-12-01 00:10:35 UTC

communication is slow and not scheduled in a timely manner. Specific to parent teacher conference. Be more open and use google calendar that is shared to parent with all district calendar and subscribe to it.

2023-12-01 00:10:36 UTC

Students take PSEO for flexibility vs academic interest

2023-12-01 00:10:36 UTC

Bullying behaviors Black students being picked on because of their race. They do not feel welcome or safe at school

2023-12-01 00:10:54 UTC

would like to see robotics free and available as part of the school curriculum - collaborate and competitive

2023-12-01 00:10:55 UTC

Frustrating to have to seek out information

2023-12-01 00:11:01 UTC

Todos los aîos hablando de los estudiantes hispanos academicamente no estan mejorando. Yo no creo que estemos haciendo lo mejor en cerrar las brechas.

2023-12-01 00:11:25 UTC

K-12 outside more - use our green space - unstructured play to more structured outside learning - health benefits

2023-12-01 00:11:28 UTC

Bridge communication with parents around behavior and discipline in the school

2023-12-01 00:11:29 UTC

Use Google to schedule and reserve and know what is going on throughout the district

2023-12-01 00:11:37 UTC

tell me 10 times and remind me

2023-12-01 00:12:01 UTC

Staff diversity does not represent student diversity

2023-12-01 00:12:07 UTC

Por que no estamos apoyando porgramas que apoyan academicamente a los estudiantes si estas organizacion apoyan a incrementar o a cerrar la brecha academica.

2023-12-01 00:12:12 UTC

Gifted and talented improvements - benefits of cluster program previously used - need for academic challenge

2023-12-01 00:12:17 UTC

Make events on all social media platforms so it can be widely shared and done so easily

2023-12-01 00:12:33 UTC

Cell phone policy that is consistent and enforceable. Partly as a communication tool, partly to improve the learning environment.

2023-12-01 00:13:03 UTC

feedback from teachers in very automated on the computer - what happened to gold stars and paper and pencil feedback?

2023-12-01 00:13:29 UTC

Behavioral issues in the schools

2023-12-01 00:13:33 UTC

Para mi la pobracion hispana necesita ayuda extra, no solo academicamente si no que ellos tienen una realidad diferente. Ellos tienen un trauma diferente y es mas dificil adpatarse para ellos al sistema. Les cuesta mas trabajo integrarse en la comunidad si no que no cuentan con apoyo emocional.

2023-12-01 00:13:39 UTC

Challenge of instability of families in poverty or with language experienceing RWPS

2023-12-01 00:14:02 UTC

Terapia bilingue en la escuela.

2023-12-01 00:14:06 UTC

bathrooms at the hs still a problem- people go there to talk, get away from class, vape, better than last year but a long way to go. Beginning of year there was new hope but now it's the same. Vandalization of restrooms and kids bullying happening in the grls restroom.

2023-12-01 00:14:28 UTC

Care clinic

2023-12-01 00:14:33 UTC

Staff do not feel supported when there are behavioral issues

2023-12-01 00:14:36 UTC

Culturally responsive curriculum and teaching practices.

2023-12-01 00:14:38 UTC

2023-12-01 00:14:45 UTC

We had a challenge with bussing. My 3 year old rides the bus from daycare to Colvill. They kept changing the side of the school where the bus would pick him up. It was left to Anita at Colvill to manage that. Daycare staff had to wait outside with him for the bus.

Trabajo de trauma por la inmigración.

2023-12-01 00:15:13 UTC

How do we meet the needs of EACH student vs what works for all students.

2023-12-01 00:15:22 UTC

It's really hard to find out what is going on in the schools if you do not have children in the school. How do we help build advocacy for the schools if people don't have kids in the school -- schools are the community. Newsletters are opt-in. Not everyone pay attention to digital.

2023-12-01 00:15:28 UTC

Ayuda muy limitada a los estudiantes EL.

2023-12-01 00:15:30 UTC

No hay ayuda bilingue

2023-12-01 00:15:39 UTC

2023-12-01 00:15:50 UTC

My 3 year old has a crisis plan for food allergies and he was served one of the foods he has an allergy. He was able to eat 2 bites before it was caught that he had it.

El estudiante que no habla ingles se siente frustado.

2023-12-01 00:16:05 UTC

Behaviors are impacting entire classrooms and disrupt learning

2023-12-01 00:16:18 UTC

Busing at the MS . Once we leave the parking lot. Name calling by older kids (HS) and nothing is being done about it. No one looks forward to riding the buses due to the behaviors.

2023-12-01 00:16:20 UTC

reading and math test scores not good - lack of improvement over the past 4 years

2023-12-01 00:16:34 UTC

How do we change the perception of WHY we are here? How do we help students understand WHY they are here?

2023-12-01 00:17:39 UTC

lingering covid issues that have broken trust with schools and teachers

2023-12-01 00:18:06 UTC

2023-12-01 00:18:41 UTC

At Kid's Junction, I don't have the best time because the older kids will do some things that are "unexpected". (Mom clarified that he thrives on routine and knowing what to expect.)

Concerns about mental health and how our students experiences are in all areas. Need to be extremely proactive and adddress these issues in the school, on the bus, cafe', basically in all areas and done discreetly throughout the student day.

2023-12-01 00:18:56 UTC

Aligning school schedules with PSEO schedules

2023-12-01 00:19:03 UTC

Post covid disengagement in learning and absorption in phones and tech. Antisocial behavior

2023-12-01 00:19:08 UTC

building systems - processes have existed but haven't been documented - professional development, teacher requests, etc need to be put in writing so that we can do the things we are dreaming about and planning to do in the future

2023-12-01 00:19:26 UTC

Teacher burnout - over commitment of teachers to so many things.

2023-12-01 00:19:47 UTC

Concerns about there being no escape from the small town and how technology makes it relentlessly in student faces.

2023-12-01 00:20:17 UTC

Some staff are not aligned with the mission of the school. It's hard to work in that way. Get the teacher on board.

2023-12-01 00:20:31 UTC

Training for teachers in post covid approaches to getting students engaged again.

2023-12-01 00:20:46 UTC

teachers and principals need to apologize to the kids for the lack of energy and loss that occurred during covid

2023-12-01 00:20:55 UTC

New comers need a different pathway.

2023-12-01 00:20:58 UTC

The budget and transportation

2023-12-01 00:21:13 UTC

Mental health for students

2023-12-01 00:21:17 UTC

The current system does not have space to support the entire needs of individual students

2023-12-01 00:21:22 UTC

Mental health for teachers

2023-12-01 00:21:26 UTC

cell phone usage

2023-12-01 00:21:30 UTC

With vaping and sex in the bathroom no one feels safe and it appears to be blatant behavior. Less accountability

2023-12-01 00:21:32 UTC

When meeting with community (ie. Wagner Wednesday, World Cafe, community gatherings), ensure that people know each others names (have name tages, be prepared). Ensure that people are SEEN. Build capacity for care for all in the community to help build next gen Red Wing.

2023-12-01 00:21:32 UTC

Isolation.

2023-12-01 00:21:41 UTC

kids were taught for only 5 minutes a day during covid and now daughter feels sick to go to school - very difficult transition

2023-12-01 00:21:44 UTC

Not enough money to provide the resources they need to meet the needs of their satudents

2023-12-01 00:22:52 UTC

meals need to be similar at all buildings. Not amazing at the HS and bleh at the remainder of the buildings

2023-12-01 00:25:32 UTC

more art classes

2023-12-01 00:26:38 UTC

5 schools and one team would be a wonderful reality

2023-12-01 00:26:57 UTC

Buena cantidad de maestros bilingues y personal de apoyo

2023-12-01 00:27:11 UTC

Hybrid classrooms with more tech integration and with teachers that can use technology.

2023-12-01 00:27:43 UTC

Mi sueño es que la escuela reconozca el trabajo de los empleados y sobre todo de aquellos que tranbaj extra.

2023-12-01 00:27:47 UTC

Mejorar los beneficios para el personal. Mejores salarios para los empleados de la escuela

2023-12-01 00:28:24 UTC

In the top 20 academic scores in the state.

2023-12-01 00:28:27 UTC

Responsive adaptive flexible options for learning including flexible schedules

2023-12-01 00:28:30 UTC

current administration sticks around to see these changes through - concern about change in the near future

2023-12-01 00:28:34 UTC

Every student who comes into the school believes that the school is there to help them.

2023-12-01 00:28:50 UTC

No deaths from opiates / no overdose deaths - all buildings with narcan and trained staff, educated staff on addiction. No suicides.

2023-12-01 00:28:55 UTC

PSEO - streamline the process to have students are more engaged with it. One stop shop where students can do the work and profduce the fors and streamline the system. With that we can still provide support for those that need it. Martina, let me go~ Randy

2023-12-01 00:28:55 UTC

Have options in the summer for students who want to take a class that does not fit into their schedule

2023-12-01 00:29:01 UTC

Sueño que los estudiantes hispanos mas que todo de la escuela primaria y la escuela no se enfoca en los niños de la primaria.

2023-12-01 00:29:30 UTC

1. Safe 2. Each student has access to a class or club that they're interested in 3. There is opportunities to explore different areas of interest

2023-12-01 00:29:30 UTC

If in 5 years we had such a dynamic task force of parents/teachers/students with a goal of anti-bullying and suicide prevention and we are working strongly as a team to meet those goals that people KNEW us and knew that we were not going to let that happen anymore. Every single child would have immediate access to mental health supports.

2023-12-01 00:30:06 UTC

Transporte de calidad que sea por grupo de edad, no mezclar a todos los estuidiantes

2023-12-01 00:30:07 UTC

Continued rich opportunities in the arts & humanities, need diversification in class options during the school day

2023-12-01 00:30:20 UTC

Culturally relevant teaching and learning that is authentic

2023-12-01 00:30:21 UTC

keep going with the process of allowing all kids to find their people and their place in our schools - progress has been made with our native students - continue this with hispanic and black students (BSU)

2023-12-01 00:30:49 UTC

Yo sueño que la relación que tiene el distrito con organizaciones de la comundidad sea fuerte y de confianza.

2023-12-01 00:30:49 UTC

leadership/teachers of color

2023-12-01 00:31:06 UTC

Relationships with other schools where students could participate in other school in person or virtually.

2023-12-01 00:31:12 UTC

grow your own program with our students of color to get them back in our district as teachers/staff

2023-12-01 00:31:27 UTC

Mi sueño es que todos los estudiantes esten mejor academicamente que el aumento sea sustantivo.

2023-12-01 00:31:35 UTC

Better sharing of resources with other districts and schools.

2023-12-01 00:31:49 UTC

Grow your own is a good start to attract staff. Solid leadership top down. Trades training, increase enrollment, listening and having clear pathways to jobs and training and education for each student

2023-12-01 00:31:51 UTC

Developing an empathetic community through civic engagement with students

2023-12-01 00:32:04 UTC

Partnerships with business and other community partners

2023-12-01 00:32:36 UTC

All kids feel welcome and accepted. (Race, economic disparities, gender, sexuality, culture, etc.) Having open conversations about racism. Having a safe space to dig in courageously to these big issues. You need to get kids talking and challenging what's in their heads. Teaching kids that it's ok to disagree but it's not ok to be hateful or harmful.

2023-12-01 00:32:46 UTC

All the teachers and support staff compromise 100% with the mission of the school and do always the best.

2023-12-01 00:33:37 UTC

Well developed Winger Pride throughout the community

2023-12-01 00:33:50 UTC

What is preventing families from even considering RW as an option? Work with the city and county to address housing. Housing projects?

2023-12-01 00:33:51 UTC

In 5 years we'll have curriculum and instruction that meets the needs of all students. Ideally, more outdoor learning.

2023-12-01 00:34:09 UTC

Que las organizaciones sean reconocidas como una entidad que ayuda con el exito escolar de los estudiantes.

2023-12-01 00:34:49 UTC

Stronger mental health supports and that help students develop more life skills

2023-12-01 00:34:53 UTC

affordable housing and wages of the region. Need to consider outside of the norm options. Use housing in the contract

2023-12-01 00:34:56 UTC

Students involved in all decision making bodies

2023-12-01 00:35:14 UTC

More inclusivity of genders and other things. No one is left out. Everyone is open and able to be who they are and to not be bullied for who they are.

2023-12-01 00:35:36 UTC

Communication will be seamless and open/transparent. Families will be even more engaged

2023-12-01 00:35:37 UTC

pulling students back into our high school - so that our leaders are not leaving us to do PSEO or graduating early - build community in the school

2023-12-01 00:35:49 UTC

Demystify our systems

2023-12-01 00:35:52 UTC

The barriers that are keeping kids from engaging in school/school activities (ie. transportation, money) no longer exit.

2023-12-01 00:35:52 UTC

Que todos los maestro tengan un entrenamiento en "Cultural Approach" (Que sepan trabajar con estudiantes de otras culturas.

2023-12-01 00:36:23 UTC

More kids involved in extra curricular activities. More kids trying out different things. Not always the usual suspects. Have extracurriculars be a safe place to explore.

2023-12-01 00:36:53 UTC

2023-12-01 00:37:38 UTC

We are starting to swing out of COVID, we have over twice as many kids taking AP exams. 95% that took the PSAT qualified for National Merit Scholarship

Use social media more effectively to promote what is happening in the district.

2023-12-01 00:37:55 UTC

A welcoming and inclusive environment. It's not academic. It's all about the social environment. It's the "other" (non-academic) things that make [my] kids successful academically.

2023-12-01 00:37:55 UTC

Not tecing to a standardized test and be creative in teaching skills for life and not teaching to a test. Be able to show your learning in many different ways. See reading and math scores up for all students in creative ways. Staff can feel empowered to do that without fear of job loss

2023-12-01 00:38:06 UTC

A second language should be required. We should start language instruction at an earlier age.

Escuelas seguras, que cuando los estudiantes vengan a la escuela se sientan seguros y que sientan que la escuela esta haciendo algo para corregir la disciplina.

2023-12-01 00:38:10 UTC

Mejores mecanismos de disciplina.

2023-12-01 00:38:21 UTC

2023-12-01 00:38:34 UTC

We need to recognize all groups. Example: There are big posters celebrating the sports teams. There is not a banner representing the pep band.

2023-12-01 00:38:37 UTC

Student engagement is a challenge nation wide. We need to support our teachers to help prevent burnt out. We need to provide more funding to help prevent teachers from spending their own money.

2023-12-01 00:38:42 UTC

We need to get kids outside. We need much more outdoor time for learning, structured play and learning. Teaching outside versus more recess time. This can help with engagement, impulsive control and decreasing ADHD behaviors.

change PSEO process - kids need to be connected - not just online classes

2023-12-01 00:38:42 UTC

2023-12-01 00:38:45 UTC

Give teachers training in the executive functioning skills and teaching that to kids.

More racial diversity among staff and school board.

2023-12-01 00:38:47 UTC

2023-12-01 00:38:48 UTC

Students who have challenges with self-regulation often have that continue into adulthood. I don't necessarily feel that the schools are able to "fix" that.

2023-12-01 00:38:51 UTC

A 5 year success plan should include teachers that aren't burnt out and students who are better able to exhibit school behaviors and increase their engagement.

2023-12-01 00:38:53 UTC

Flight paths has been a positive experience. I would like to see it expanded to allow more students to get experience in the community.

State and federal budgets need to be honored and appropriate $ needs to be fully funded and delivered.

2023-12-01 00:38:56 UTC

All peoples' needs are being met. Example: Gifted and talented are challenged and all students are getting what they need.

2023-12-01 00:38:58 UTC

100% graduation rate

2023-12-01 00:39:03 UTC

2nd grader: My goal is trying not to get mad at something. Another goal is sustaining attention in class.

2023-12-01 00:39:04 UTC

The biggest challenge is that my son is testing in the 100th percentile in reading and math and there isn't a gifted and talented program for him. I worry about the classroom teacher because she has all levels in one space. She is going to have to focus on the students that need more help. How can we continue to support him moving forward? There is a worry that he will plateau. Behaviors are coming up due to boredom. He is getting the one-on-one attention via the negative behaviors to do math and reading.

2023-12-01 00:39:06 UTC

The superintendent search worked well with the stakeholder meetings in which people were able to give feedback on what we are looking for in our superintendent.

2023-12-01 00:39:08 UTC

I appreciate the collaboration that I see between the community and the district. I appreciate the efforts being made.

2023-12-01 00:39:10 UTC

My daughter also had great success in Creative Metals. It was a positive experience for her and she loved it and the teacher.

2023-12-01 00:39:12 UTC

Teacher said we know our students aren't reading where they should be and we need to work on it. They appreciate the training that is being given to help facilitate that.

2023-12-01 00:39:15 UTC

There is a great deal of collaboration in the district. People are talking and working on things together. That goes far towards helping our students and community.

2023-12-01 00:39:18 UTC

We are in a different level of momentum that is exciting.

Cuales son los planes que la escuela tiene para los todos los estudiantes Hispanos.

2023-12-01 00:39:19 UTC

2023-12-01 00:39:20 UTC

I think we are a path towards experiencing success. This conversation is not something that would have happened 10 or 20 years ago. I feel a renewed level of commitment. The district is really trying to understand what success will look like for everyone.

2023-12-01 00:39:22 UTC

Martina has surrounded herself with some great staff.

2023-12-01 00:39:25 UTC

I have a child doing a Child Promise right now. It's amazing to not have that debt. She is really liking it.

Cual es el plan que tienen para los estudiantes Newcomers?

2023-12-01 00:39:44 UTC

RWPS has our own online school (instead of being a part of 5Rivers)

2023-12-01 00:39:59 UTC

2023-12-01 00:40:48 UTC

I would love to see the social/emotional engagement skills at a higher level. COVID isolation set us back years. It will take years to come back out of that. I would love to see innovative ideas to counter act the effects of this.

What happens next with this feedback?

2023-12-01 00:40:54 UTC

Technology and student cell phone use.

2023-12-01 00:41:09 UTC

We have small class sizes that can accommodate different styles of learning and can provide more personal connections between staff and students.

2023-12-01 00:41:16 UTC

2023-12-01 00:41:36 UTC

I have seen people coming from outside the community to see our students in the high school musical.

how many kids do PSEO? what is the benefit for our kids?

2023-12-01 00:41:49 UTC

2023-12-01 00:42:11 UTC

Showing up for students has a large impact on student success.

Figure out what channel people are listening to/tuning in to and start communicating there about all the awesome things that are happening in RWPS

2023-12-01 00:42:32 UTC

2023-12-01 00:43:20 UTC

We need to find ways to encourage everyrone to come and be involved. Find any barriers that might be there and work to remove those barriers.

More positive parent involvement. Understanding surrounding technology.

2023-12-01 00:43:22 UTC

Could this be done again in a community space?

2023-12-01 00:43:36 UTC

Adequate and ongoing training for all staff - especially for staff beyond teachers. This includes Community Ed and community volunteers and subs. Everyone in the building has the tools they need to meet the needs of the students.

2023-12-01 00:43:44 UTC

2023-12-01 00:44:09 UTC

Seeing more groups being represented in school activities. Example: welcome and introduction in Dakota

Get the community out here and off social media. Be part of the solution and not just a complainer.

2023-12-01 00:44:29 UTC

getting a more well rounded experience - enticing kids to stay in school through their senior year and take as many credits as they can - experience all of the amazing electives we offer - experience new things

2023-12-01 00:44:42 UTC

2023-12-01 00:45:07 UTC

In 5 years, when students are graduating, they should have complete computer literacy. Example: understanding how algorithms work and how they can work in a negative way.

Use the resources and potential that already exists with this districts. How do we meet all of the demands and meet all the students needs. If anyone is going to figure it out it will be here!

2023-12-01 00:45:44 UTC

2023-12-01 00:45:49 UTC

I would love all students to be able to recognize what a positive relationship is and recognize the red flags.

We have great leadership at all levels supporting the community to provide feedback and transparent access to all. Martina, see Randy as she was much more eloquent than my typing could capture

2023-12-01 00:46:13 UTC

how often chromebooks are used

2023-12-01 00:46:39 UTC

more teacher oversight

2023-12-01 00:46:58 UTC

figure out a way to extend what we offer to keep kids in school - provide enrichment - maybe have a different diploma for those that continue the learning beyond the minimum credits

2023-12-01 00:47:38 UTC

It's hard for new families to find out how to find information about how "the system" works

2023-12-01 00:51:34 UTC

More forward thinking use of technology in teaching and learning that helps students develop 21st century skills.

2023-12-01 00:54:09 UTC

My child is a good student with ADHD. I am concerned that negative behavior of his classmates that goes unaddressed will drag him down

2023-12-01 00:56:03 UTC

Teachers being pulled into the hall to deal with a disruptive student while someone else cover the class. It interrupts learning of the kids left in class with the adult who is not their teacher
