Hello Vandercook Lake!
We are embarking on a Listen and Learn 2023 community engagement process.
The premise of the Listen and Learn: WE ARE VANDY! process is straightforward: No one knows better the strengths and celebrations, the challenges and areas for improvement, dreams, and hopes for the future, than those individuals who live, work, and bring their children to attend the Vandercook Lake Public Schools every day. The desired outcome of Listen & Learn 2023 is to better understand our Vandercook Lake community, and to align our school district improvement work with the direction, the needs, and the aspirations of our students, parents, staff, and community.
Between now and the end of this 22-23 school year, I, along with the Board of Education (BOE), will be visiting and engaging with students, parents, staff and community members in both of our school buildings as well as speaking with our virtual program families in various other meetings with district and community groups across the Vandercook Lake Community. In addition, all stakeholders will have an opportunity to engage via social media and with the Thought Exchange online conversational tool.
In these meetings, we will facilitate a conversation around four critical questions:
What do we celebrate in our schools and across the Vandercook Lake Public Schools?
Where do you see our opportunities for improvement?
As we consider our future, what do we want and dream for our students and our schools in the Vandercook Lake community?
What else do we need to know and understand?
I hope that you will join us in sharing your thoughts about our Vandercook Lake Public Schools in our first face-to-face meeting in the Vandercook Lake Andrews Campus Cafeteria on TUESDAY, APRIL 4th at 6:00PM.. We will have community group meetings, online via the Thought Exchange online conversation tool, and through various social media events via Twitter and Facebook Live. Your voice is important, and we need to hear from you.
Thank you in advance for your participation in this VLPS community dialogue. We need to better understand, as a community, the specific steps we can take to extend and enhance the quality for which Vandercook Lake was, and in some instances, still is, well known.
We can do better and this conversation will illuminate the ways we can grow together. We have important work to accomplish together – our children are counting on us.
Sincerely,
Tre Lowder
Superintendent, Vandercook Lake Public Schools
