Thank you to those who participated in the thought exchange the district shared last month! We received great feedback from our Vulcan Community.

Hey Vassar students, parents, community members, and staff!
Have you participated in the ThoughtExchange the district shared earlier this week asking: What are some things you would most like to see in our facilities in order to support the success of our students? If not you still have time. This exchange will be open until 11:59PM on June 30! We invite you to join the Exchange and help prioritize key areas by sharing and rating more thoughts through the link below. If you've already been a part of the conversation be sure to come back and rate more thoughts to help us find priority areas. https://my.thoughtexchange.com/scroll/472043485

Read the attached letter from Superintendent Dorothy Blackwell!
Vassar parents, staff, community, businesses, and students we need your input "What are some things you would most like to see in our facilities to support the success of our students?". To gather your feedback, we're using a tool called ThoughtExchange. All of our voices matter, so your participation is crucial and valued. Click here to participate: https://tejoin.com/scroll/472043485
You'll be asked to respond to one open-ended question, consider and assign stars to some of the ideas shared by others (20 to 30 is ideal), and learn what's important to the group.
Your thoughts and stars are confidential. You can come back as often as you'd like to participate, and, in fact, we ask that you do come back to star some of the new ideas shared since you first participated. We will send reminder information over then next few weeks. Ratings are important as they will help us understand the most important areas to focus on! Thank you in advance for your help and input.
Vassar Public Schools is proud to announce that the Meet Up and Eat Up summer feeding program is returning for children 0-18 and all special needs children 0-26!
