I constantly hear from my son and other college aged kids how well they are prepared for the workload, subject knowledge and study habits to be successful in college]]> 2022-10-20 22:51:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349806635 Bexley is a special place - it is often by traveling out of Bexley that I realize how special our little community really is. It is amazing to be able to send my kids out the door to school at 8:00, 5 minutes before school starts to walk to their K-12 school building, when I know so many friends are dropping their kids off at bus stops at 6:45 or 7am . https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349806707 2022-10-20 22:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349806707 Close-knit community https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349807318 Bexley is a residential community filled with families who connect in the schools, at community events and elsewhere. This close-knit community creates strong connections with one another and the priorities we share, including the value of education. Our children see us modeling these connections and how to engage in a community throughout their life experiences.]]> 2022-10-20 22:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349807318 Safety https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349807754 Our community, while not perfect, has many businesses within its boundaries which allows our residents the ability to walk about town without the threat of violence.]]> 2022-10-20 22:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349807754 Strengths https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349807945 We rigorously searched for a school that would provide excellence and we found it in the Bexley School District. The teachers and staff have continually supported and pushed our children to achieve their highest potential. We have gifted children, which we were concerned they wouldn't be supported. Our concerns have been calmed by the incredible teachers and staff at the schools. We hope Bexley continues to strive for excellence and to be the best public school system in Ohio. ]]> 2022-10-20 22:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349807945 Extracurriculars https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349808095 There are a wide variety of opportunities for students to be involved in sports, music, and theater programs. ]]> 2022-10-20 22:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349808095 https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349808100 Being a small school gives every student the opportunity to be involved in extracurricular activities and sports. Where many large schools cut students from teams we generally fit everyone that wants to do something outside the classroom into an activity

There is a strong attachment to the schools regardless if a community member has a child in the district. Since we are a small community everyone seems to have a connection to the school and the staff. ]]> 2022-10-20 22:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349808906 Student Integrity https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349808907 Our child has communicated that the high school staff finally speaks to students with respect at an adult level instead of baby-talking as was done in prior years.]]> 2022-10-20 22:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349808907 https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349808999 Our small class sizes make for better learning for the students.]]> 2022-10-20 22:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349808999 https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349809037 Teachers are generally well-prepared, caring, and innovative.

The school district's connections to the city (particularly the recreation department) enhances the experiences available and in many cases allows for seamless connections between formal and experiential education.]]> 2022-10-20 22:55:11 UTC https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349809221 Bexley's engaged community members are a strength - it is so great that in Bexley real change can be made when a group of committed community members comes behind an idea and presents it to the city or school board https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349809658 2022-10-20 22:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349809658 Staff https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349809695 Our staff had to endure a lot over the last several years and they are still providing an amazing experience for students. Even during COVID and remote learning, my children felt very connected to their teachers. ]]> 2022-10-20 22:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349809695 Strengths https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349810057 Access to resources.

There are some options for students in terms of course of study once they go to high school. I like the weekly newsletters from the principals. Weekly assignments on canvas easy reference for students and family. Most students seem to have a feeling of belonging. Teachers are professional and caring. The community in general supports the schools. I like how we are notified if there's an unusual situation and what happened /resolution. https://padlet.com/bigquestionsinstitute/m3jwa32jet2l8xsa/wish/2349810791
