The District is launching a ThoughtExchange to gather your input on priorities for long-range planning over the next three years. Access the survey by clicking here or by copying and pasting the following link into your web browser: http://bit.ly/2021_2024_TE_LCAP. In our efforts to continue to improve our education system, we need to understand your perspectives and what is important to you as a parent or guardian, teacher, or staff member in our District.
