UPDATE, 9/16/24 - 4:30 p.m.: The theme for this upcoming town hall is Your Voice, Your Schools. During this town hall meeting, we will discuss all of the great things that are happening in your child’s schools Among the topics that will be discussed:
Adjusting to the return of the school year; how students and teachers are getting back into their routines
Parent engagement: Title I Events, explanation of federal programs
School Security: changes made over the summer that are helping our students and staff be more security
Infrastructure: Improvements - like new roofs - made to our schools and how the district is spending money wisely
Communication: How the district communicates through different media (social, email, phone, website) and gets good stories out. Plus, what you need to know in an emergency situation.
The Sto-Rox School District values the voices of its students, parents, and staff. We strongly encourage people to join us for this informative event. We want to hear from the community, because when more voices add to the conversation, we are stronger together.
