As a reminder, we hope to hear from parents, guardians, staff and students about what "Authentic Engagement" means to you. More than 80% of the people who have participated in the ThoughtExchange so far are students, which we love; however, we would value additional parent, staff and community response as well.

One priority area within the district's three-year Strategic Plan is Authentic Engagement. As we move forward with work in that priority area and other pieces of the Strategic Plan, we want to hear from you – our students, staff and community members – about what the phrase "authentic engagement means to you, or what it would ideally look like to you. Today we are launching a ThoughtExchange about this topic.
