With the overall goal of supporting healthy environments for our youth, the VT Youth Project officially kicked off last week with its first community meeting.  All 5 towns in our district will benefit from the work of this Project that utilizes real-time data to amplify and enhance great programs and efforts already happening in our communities and to identify new opportunities to provide healthy environments for youth.  Learn more about this exciting new project by watching this video of the meeting. 

On December 5, 2019, K-8 schools in our District will host a team of educators from neighboring school systems, along with staff from the Vermont Agency of Education, as part of our triennial Integrated Field Review (IFR).  The IFR is a review of documents, interviews with students, parents, and staff, and observations of schools designed to reveal common practices in a supervisory union or school district. This is a collaborative and reciprocal process.  Staff members from our district will visit and review neighboring school systems in the weeks that follow. 

The After Interview is a video series designed to introduce you to our new district employees.  In this edition, meet Julia Menendez from the Spanish Immersion Team at JES where she is the Grade 2 teacher. Here is a link to the interview.
