The Common

Dear Nashoba Families,

At the beginning of the year, we announced that we had transitioned to a new web platform, Apptegy. Today, we are excited to announce that we’ve made some improvements! We’ve revamped our website menus to make accessing information more straightforward and intuitive. Whether you’re looking for the latest updates, helpful resources, a staff contact, or just want to explore what we have to offer, you’ll find everything at your fingertips with our new, user-friendly menu.

We know that your time is valuable, and we want to make your experience on our website as smooth as possible. All menu options have remained the same, we’ve simply moved them to appear at the top of our website pages. With this updated menu, you'll be able to navigate through our website with fewer clicks, which means getting the information you need faster than ever. Additionally, we’ve added a helpful ‘District’ menu option to each of our school pages, making navigating back to our main district website even easier.

We recognize that easy access to school and district information is not only important, but essential. While we plan to continue working to enhance our website throughout the year, we hope you enjoy exploring our latest improvements.

Peace,

Kirk Downing

Next week, we will administer surveys to students in grades 3-12 to hear from them about their self-reported social-emotional needs and feelings of belonging and engagement at school. These surveys give us insight into students' perspectives about their school experience. Students will complete the survey anonymously. The survey should take at most 10-15 minutes to complete.

We hope to have all of our students participate in survey administration. While our goal is 100% participation, parents/guardians may choose not to have their child participate. The survey is voluntary; your child can skip any question or choose not to participate. If you prefer your child not to participate in this survey, please complete this Opt-Out Form by the end of the day today, Friday, October 27th, 2023.

Our district's Strategic Plan emphasizes the importance of this feedback. Specifically, Strategic Objective #3, titled "Culture and Belonging," guides our approach and details action steps for integrating social-emotional practices into regular classroom activities and overall student life. This feedback is essential to identify successful practices and areas that need improvement. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to sharing the results of our surveys and our growth toward improvement for our students moving forward.
