Pumpkins & Possibilities: modernize, rightsize, and optimize for the future of our schools

We know that important conversations about the future of our schools require more than just information. That’s why we are introducing Pumpkins & Possibilities, a series of community meetings designed to bring families together for both fun and meaningful dialogue about the future of our schools. 

Rather than holding these sessions in formal town hall-style settings, Pumpkins & Possibilities blends seasonal family activities with opportunities for parents, caregivers, and neighbors to sit down with district leadership and talk openly about school consolidation plans. While children enjoy fall-themed activities, adults will have time to ask questions, share concerns, and help us shape the path forward for their neighborhood schools.

We invite all families to join us at one of the upcoming sessions:

DateTimeLocation

These meetings are about community voices shaping decisions that will affect generations of students. And they are about ensuring that families leave not only informed but also connected to one another and to the district.

We hope you will bring your ideas, your questions, and your family to Pumpkins & Possibilities.
