They would then see the "real-life" stories. ]]> 2018-03-12 22:29:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/241143244 https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/244780957 I would like Spanish to be taught in the Elementary. Studying it in Junior High and High School is too late in life. Our kids need to learn it in Elementary school. ]]> 2018-03-21 22:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/244780957 https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/244829985 Gifted and talented programs

Our current therapists do a great job, but they are stretched thin. https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/245168660 2018-03-22 18:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/245168660 Math Interventions https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247944571 Math interventions need to begin in Kindergarten or 1st grade]]> 2018-04-02 21:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247944571 Smaller Class Size https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247946561 Class sizes need to be kept under 25 students in Elementary Schools.]]> 2018-04-02 22:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247946561 We need a school physiologist for each elementary building https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247947118 2018-04-02 22:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247947118 https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247947133 After school programs like 4 h projects so students can learn every day living skills that are not able to be taught in the classroom. Also less students in the classroom to better meet the students needs. ]]> 2018-04-02 22:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247947133 We need a new elementary school. We have way too many kids at the elementary level https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247947303 2018-04-02 22:22:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247947303 https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247952340 I'd like to see a social worker for every two schools to provide basic necessities to these children, and to help these children get the services they need. I'd also like to have after school care for them - an hour of homework help and then some extension activities like art, Scouts, science, an athletic club, or even just play games.]]> 2018-04-02 23:21:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247952340 All day kindergarten https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247963481 Time for students to have a little science and social studies experiences and time for discovery]]> 2018-04-03 01:06:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247963481 Pre-school/Kindergarten https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247969629 Our district could use a preschool/kindergarten building. It would reduce the congestion at the grade schools, and the collaboration between the two departments could really benefit the students.]]> 2018-04-03 01:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/247969629 Art as a Specials Class https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/248108762 We have 5 days in a week, but only 4 specials classes. Art would be a great addition, and would benefit the students greatly.]]> 2018-04-03 13:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/248108762 We need a full-time elementary counselor. A counselor could turn around our students with problems which would ease the load at TLC and behavior problems at the secondary level. https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/248177451 2018-04-03 15:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/248177451 Playground https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/248705196 We need to replace the wood chips on the playground!! 
1) As a parent they are dangerous. The wind picks them up and throws them in the students eyes, mouths, ears, and up their noses. They also crate splinters. (one student got a splinter in the eye)
2) As a parent and teacher the snow fence is useless. It just blocks "LINE OF SIGHT'.
3) As a tax payer I am tired of paying to replace them every year.
4) Pea gravel holds water in. The wood chips just float on top of 'lake Heyburn' that has to be roped off every year so the students don't get soaked.
5) It takes extra man power every Summer to try and get the grass to grow since the wood chips have suffocated and killed the grass in the places that they pile up.]]> 2018-04-04 23:45:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/248705196 https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/248868767 Small staff parking lot on west side of building for teachers to use that work on that end of building. Having so much stuff to bring from home makes for many trips out to the far away parking lot]]> 2018-04-05 13:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/248868767 Meeting our long term goals. https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/248953593 In order to meet our long term goals we could save money by having a 4 day school week for these next 5 years. Other places that go 4 days a week start at 7:45 and end at 3:35 and so it isn't much different from the hours we do now. ]]> 2018-04-05 16:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/248953593 We need counselors to help students that are struggling emotionally and socially. https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/249060875 2018-04-05 21:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/249060875 A center for all kindergarten and preschoolers to go to. We can then add a few more preschool classes. This can then free up some classes at the elementary schools. https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/249061962 2018-04-05 21:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/249061962 https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/249075130 After school homework club so kids have help to complete assignments and access to tech to do research.]]> 2018-04-05 23:34:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/249075130 I would love to see a support group for parents that helps parents be better parents--not just a few love and logic classes, but on-going classes or sessions that help parents to learn how to be more supportive of students learning and how to be more involved in their child's life. It would have to have a good hook that would invite those parents who really need to be more involved in their child's lives to want to come. https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/249078337 2018-04-06 00:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/249078337 Preschool!!!! mfassett1 https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/253993337 2018-04-20 20:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/253993337 Smaller classes in the elementary schools.

We have a lot of talent in our district, but pay thousands to bring in outside people. We could pay them with the money we would have spent on an outside trainer. mfassett1 https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/253994561 2018-04-20 21:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kcox10/nuleg9x2idwp/wish/253994561
