I would like to see them develop the social skills necessary to succeed. For so many kids, this is only place they get the tools they need, not just academic, but the caring. This has always been a caring school. I think that s why the Challenge Program is being accepted so well. To add to that, I want my kids to know they can be connected to some adult, a teacher or other staff person, to turn them on to an idea or passion.
Electives sometimes are the only things that bring kids to school.
But some kids aren t going to get help at home, and I would like to see them get the help they need somehow. Make Jeffco more cohesive. We need better communications, the communications need to be shorter and sweeter. No one is going to take time to read multiple page documents like the Jeffco Quarterly, and we need to have very succinct messages of the most important things that people need to know. We need a focus and a clear direction for the District.
