Becoming++A+Premier+District

In response to the question //How can we accomplish becoming a Premier district?//

//What would it take for you to send your children to Sheldon?//

I would send my children to Sheldon provided that the programs offered challenge them to become critical thinkers and teach them social responsibility towards the community. I would want my children to be safe and I would want them to be proud of their school.

//What would need to be changed?// I am still learning about Sheldon, but Iike many other places, we would need to improve parent involvement and involve local businesses and community organizations to work with the school district in an effort to increase awareness of school programs that benefit students and how they can help.

//How can we accomplish this?// I think it would be beneficial to host informal gatherings in the community. As for increasing the rigor of the academic program, I think we need to religiously monitor our stuctured planning time, be in classrooms, and work with ICs to determine how to best increase student learning.
