Investing in Teachers' Learning Pays Dividends for Students

I know that our scheduled teacher collaboration time on Mondays has an impact on families. We often get questions about our irregular Monday schedule. 
The answer lies in our belief that “the best way to improve student learning is to invest in the learning of the adults who serve them.”¹  
On November 3rd, our teachers spent the day with nationally recognized educator and author Bill Ferriter, learning how to make the most of their Monday collaboration time to have the greatest impact on student learning.
Bill focused on two key ideas: deepening teachers' understanding of the essential skills and knowledge every student needs to learn and finding new, more effective ways to support students who need extra help or are ready for greater challenges.
These are the important conversations happening in teacher teams across our schools during Monday collaboration time. We deeply appreciate the time our families and community have given us for this important teamwork. I'm also incredibly grateful to our teachers for their commitment to professional learning, even with so many other demands on their time.
Every minute of collaboration matters as we work to deliver on our promise to Design Success for Every Student!

🏰 D93 Attendance Challenge: It's Time to Rally! Is Here!

We're off to a slower start than we hoped in the D93 Healthy Attendance Challenge, presented by Cafe Sabor! Our goal is to increase districtwide attendance by two percentage points, but we're not there yet. We need everyone's help to turn things around!
From October 1 through November 20, D93 students can earn up to four entries into a drawing for an incredible Disneyland vacation for a family of four, including airfare from Idaho Falls, hotel accommodations near Disneyland, and three-day park tickets!
🎟️ Two Ways to Earn Entries:
  • Strong Attendance: Students earn entries by attending 30–32 days (K–6) or 33–35 days (grades 7–12).
  • Improved Attendance: Students can also earn entries by attending 2, 4, 6, or 8 more days than during the same period last year.
Students receive the higher number of entries earned through either option, up to four total. The lucky winner will be announced before Christmas Break!
💛 D93 Families, Let's Rally! Every healthy school day matters, and together we can get back on track. Help us reach our districtwide goal while giving your student a chance at a magical family vacation!
Remember: Attend when healthy. Stay home when sick. Let's make every healthy school day count!
