This week in math instruction, students in grades 1-5 are actively engaged in Math Expressions, working through Unit 1 and focusing on fluency routines. Teachers are using a variety of assessments, including program pretests and district assessments to form small groups that target each student’s specific needs. Hands-on learning with manipulatives is a key part of our approach, helping students build a concrete understanding of new math concepts. Classroom "math talk" encourages students to explain their reasoning and develop critical thinking skills. In 6th grade, students are diving into new concepts with our recently adopted EdGems resource, which presents ideas in a way that is both challenging and grade-appropriate. Through these practices, we’re helping students build a solid foundation in math while fostering problem-solving and communication skills.

In D102, we know that a strong school climate has positive impacts on student achievement, attendance rates, and school safety, as well as creating conditions for developing healthy social and emotional skills.  We also feel it is critical to hear the voices of our students. To 

help facilitate that communication we provide a Student Climate Survey twice annually, once in September/October and again in February/March.

D102 will gather student perceptions of their school climate in the following ways:

• K-2nd grade students will orally provide their input during a classroom meeting conversation with their teacher.

• 3rd-8th grade students will individually complete an online survey in Google Forms. 

Results of the 3rd-8th grade survey are confidential and will not be used to identify individual students.  Rather, the data will be used to gather an overarching sense of students’ perceptions.  Each building’s leadership team will use the survey results to inform school-wide planning while grade level teachers will use the data to help plan proactive classroom-based morning circles.  

Themes identified during the K-2nd grade classroom conversations will be collected by the teacher and used to plan proactive classroom-based morning circles.  Individual student information will not be collected during these classroom conversations.

 For more information see:

• Student Climate Class Meeting - grades K-2

• Student Survey questions - grades 3-5

• Student Survey questions - grades 6-8 

• Survey FAQ

Families that wish to opt out of the survey should either contact their elementary child’s classroom teacher or their junior high child’s advisory teacher.

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! 

The following survey is presented by the Special Needs Advisory Panel (SNAP). The goal of SNAP is to bridge collaboration between parents, staff members, and the district. As we plan for the school year we would love some feedback. This is a short survey to see how our district can best support our families of students with IEPs. This survey should only take a minute or two. We greatly appreciate your input.

D102 Survey for Families of Students with IEPs

¡Bienvenidos al año escolar 2024-2025!

La siguiente encuesta es presentada por el Panel Asesor de Necesidades Especiales (SNAP). La meta de SNAP (Special Needs Advisory Panel) es crear un puente de colaboración entre los padres, los miembros del personal y el distrito. Mientras planeamos para el año escolar nos gustaría recibir sus comentarios. Esta es una breve encuesta para ver cómo nuestro distrito puede apoyar mejor a nuestras familias de estudiantes con IEPs. Esta encuesta sólo debe tomar un minuto o dos. Apreciamos mucho su opinión.
