How Does ThoughtExchange work?

ThoughtExchange is a way for our families, students, staff and community to share priorities and ideas with us online. Tell us what is important to you and share your ideas. See what others are saying and find out what is important to our community as a whole.

Easy Three-Step Process:

Everyone is invited to participate in our online conversation. It's an easy three-step process.

1. Share – answer open-ended questions.
2. Star – review ideas from others and place a star on the ideas you like best – we ask that you star as many ideas as you would like, but there is no need to review all of the thoughts in the exchange.
3. Discover – learn what is important to the community as a whole.

Your thoughts and stars will be seen by other participants, but ThoughtExchange keeps your identity private. Learn more by reading ThoughtExchange's Frequently Asked Questions.

If you have specific questions about the ThoughtExchange tool, please email us at: communications@lwsd.org.

Reminder: Help Us Understand Your Family’s Learning Model Selection – Two Question Survey

In addition, last week, we asked for families to complete this short survey, designed to help us understand why families selected a specific learning model for school this spring. This survey can be accessed here: https://survey.k12insight.com/r/May2021LearningModelSelectionSurvey. So far, 700 people have taken this survey. Please take a few moments to complete it today."

Sincerely,
Jon
