Hi All, 

I hope that you all got some projects done even though it was rainy. I wanted to share a HUGE celebration with you all. This year we had an incredible increase in responses to the WCUUSD Climate Survey from our families. Last year we had 13 responses, this year we had 55. This is a huge anecdotal piece of evidence in our connections with families. They are feeling comfortable taking the time to share with us how they are feeling. We will take some time to unpack the reports as a staff before the end of the year. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring that our families see us as a resource and a place to share. 

I'm waiting on confirmation but UVM may be back here to capture some of the joy and fun of field day/BES picnic on Wednesday. If you'd like to speak with them about our Community Schools Efforts please let me know and I can make a plan for getting you on camera.
