Good Morning, Trojan Nation!
Thank you to all who attended our Strategic Planning Engagement session yesterday evening!
This information is designed to be passed forward to engage additional community members and staff.
If you are willing, we would really appreciate your feedback. Please open this document, which is the one used during the presentation:
After the video plays, we'd like participants to answer the 8 questions in the links at the bottom of the engagement document. For ease, I'm also linking them right here, as I'd encourage anyone who might like to simply answer the questions to do so.
We would greatly appreciate your input, as this information will be used to develop a strategic plan. The strategic plan will serve as a roadmap to guide the district toward its long-term goals by aligning our vision, mission, and actions. Strategic plans help set priorities, allocate resources, and focus efforts on key objectives. It will also provide a framework for measuring performance, making informed decisions, and adapting to changes.
The deadline for providing input is Monday, November 17, 2025, at 11:59 p.m.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Hello,
We would like to hear from parents about your child's experience with the Colorado READ Act and its observed impact.
As you may know, the Colorado READ (Reading to Ensure Academic Development) Act provides funding and a framework for improving literacy outcomes for kindergartners through third graders, particularly those with “Significant Reading Deficiencies” (SRDs) who are at risk to not read at grade level by third grade. The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) has been working with WestEd and its partners to conduct a legislatively mandated evaluation of the READ Act since March 2020.
The survey should take no more than 10-15 minutes to complete, and all responses will be kept confidential.
We are only asking you to complete the survey if your child has ever been identified as having a significant reading deficiency (SRD) and/or has ever been given a READ plan.
Thank you in advance for your participation in this parent survey. We greatly appreciate your time and willingness to share your experience.
Please click on the link below to participate in the survey: https://westedk12enterprise.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6Vg7ME5659uoRLg
Hola
Nos gustaría escuchar las opiniones de los padres sobre las experiencias de sus hijos con la Ley Colorado READ y el impacto observado.
Como quizás ya sepan, la Ley READ (Lectura para Asegurar el Desarrollo Académico) de Colorado proporciona financiamiento y un marco para mejorar los resultados relacionados a la lectoescritura de los niños desde el kindergarten hasta el tercer grado, en especial aquellos niños con “Deficiencias significativas de lectura” (SRD, sigla en inglés), que están en riesgo de no leer al nivel de su grado escolar al llegar al tercer grado. Desde marzo de 2020, el Departamento de Educación de Colorado (CDE) trabaja con WestEd y sus colaboradores para llevar a cabo una evaluación exigida por la legislatura de la Ley READ.
Completar este cuestionario no le tomará más de 10-15 minutos, y todas las respuestas serán confidenciales.
Solo le pedimos que complete el cuestionario si se ha identificado que su hijo/a tiene una deficiencia significativa de lectura (SRD, sigla en inglés) y/o si le han proporcionado un plan READ.
Muchas gracias de antemano por su participación en este cuestionario para padres. Realmente le agradecemos por su tiempo y su voluntad de compartir su experiencia.
