District Handbook 2021-2022 District Handbook 2021-2022 www.linnmar.k12.ia.us Welcome. Superintendent’s Message I want to welcome everyone to the start of the 2021-22 school year! Here’s to hoping that this year will be a little less chaotic and that we don’t experience another pandemic or natural disaster! Last year was unique, to say the least, as we weaved our way through the COVID-19 Shannon Bisgard pandemic and dealt with the impact of a derecho. We also faced the challenges of opening two new Intermediate Schools, Hazel Point and Boulder Peak. I have said it many times, but I am proud of our students, families, and staff for their adaptability and dedication to education. Despite all of the challenges that we faced last year; it was inspirational to see everyone pull together to ensure the students continued their learning. As we kick off the 2021-22 school year, I am excited to have the majority of our students and staff back in the buildings for in-person learning. It is great to have the hustle and bustle of people in the hallways and the excitement of learning in our classrooms again. We also continue to offer virtual learning this year, and we are pleased to be able to extend this option for the students and families. Another exciting change for 2021-22 is the district’s new Venture Academics program. This hands-on, project- based learning program is offered to high school students as a replacement to our former collaboration in Iowa BIG. We are excited to offer our own in-house program that will allow more students to participate due to it being located on campus. A lot of construction projects took place over summer break that we are excited to see wrapping up with the start of the school year. It was good to see the derecho-damaged rooves at several buildings being repaired along with several other repairs required due to the storm. The second phase of the classroom renovations at Wilkins Elementary was also completed, along with the replacement of the gym HVAC unit at Indian Creek Elementary. It was especially great to see the two mobile classrooms being removed from Indian Creek, as it is nice to see the front of the building clearly again. Along with summer construction projects, we reconvened our Facility Advisory Committee to review our 10-Year Capital Plan as we prepare for future facility needs due to continued growth in the community. The committee plans to present their recommendations to the school board later this year. I hope everyone had a wonderful summer break! We are very excited to return to school for the 2021-22 year in a more normal format as we strive to Inspire Learning. Unlock Potential. Empower Achievement. Have a great year, Linn-Mar!

  • November 2016
    November 2016 Newsletter WEST SALEM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 475 North Mark Street, West Salem, WI 54669 Phone 608-786-1662 Fax 608-786-3415 Ryan Rieber- Principal Lisa Gerke- Associate Principal Dear Families, Welcome to November! I hope that your experiences with parent teacher conferences were positive ones and you were able to connect with your child’s teacher. The connections between home and school are so very important! Working in partnership is the best way to help our kids reach their potential! Now that fall has officially arrived and the unpredictability of Wisconsin weather is also here, I am asking for your help in making sure that warm clothing is sent to school with your child. It is not a bad idea to make sure that warm jackets, stocking hats, gloves/mittens are being sent with your child to school. Once the snow begins to fly, also make sure that boots and snow pants are making the trip with your child as well. We will continue to go out for recess during cold weather, so please help in making sure that proper clothing is sent with your child. I was informed that Pokemon cards have been around since 1998. That is a long time, and the fad has not faded away! Pokemon and trading cards have been causing some heartaches, tears, and disagreements here at school. I am asking that you please keep these items at home. I want to thank you for your help and support in reporting into our office upon entering the building for visiting within our building.

  • Educating Digital Citizens on Sustainable Development Goals
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 8 August 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202008.0208.v1 Peer-reviewed version available at Sustainability 2020, 12, 7260; doi:10.3390/su12187260 Article Educating digital citizens on Sustainable Development Goals Antonia Lozano-Díaz 1, Juan S. Fernández-Prados 2, * 1 University of Almería; [email protected] 2 University of Almería, CEMyRI; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-950-015221 Abstract: The 2030 Agenda sets out seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The educational goal is to promote the education of citizens on sustainable development, among other things. Educating today's digital citizens on sustainability means training them for justice and social activism, commitment and political engagement. However, research into the subject shows a lack of consistency in the education of university students. This paper presents a study of students of Education, on education on sustainability through the practice of active and critical digital citizenship. A quasi-experimental method was used to learn about the behaviours of digital citizens, and intervention was carried out by means of an SDG-focused workshop and observation of the final level of commitment. The results show a positive level of commitment and digital activism around content related to sustainable development, which can be addressed from the university syllabus in a cross-curricular way. Keywords: Sustainable Development Goals; 2030 Agenda; digital citizenship; cyberactivism; syllabus-related sustainability; social justice 1. Introduction Several guidelines have been adopted by the United Nations (UN) and its agencies on how to approach the development of human activity in a sustainable way, ultimately culminating in the approval of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development [1].

  • The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)
    191 Volunteers: An Essential Building Block for a Society of Shared Knowledge Viola Krebs Director, ICVolunteers and Focal Point of the WSIS Volunteer Family It was at the African Regional Conference in Bamako in 2002 that the volunteer sector first became involved in the process of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). Since then, volunteers and volunteer organizations have actively contributed both to the preparatory process of the WSIS, the Geneva Summit and the Tunis phase. As one of the families of the International Civil Society Bureau, the WSIS Volunteer Family brings together organizations working with volunteers both locally and at an international level1, as well as volunteers themselves. In this article, I would like share some of the outcomes of the work and active participation in the WSIS of a sector that is often underestimated, or even overlooked. The concepts presented in this paper synthesize the outcomes of a collaborative effort of the Volunteer Family. They also outline some of the challenges before us for the future of a society of knowledge accessible to all. Volunteering is a global fact of life, a mass social phenomenon involving hundreds of millions of people around the world who offer their time, skills and knowledge for the well- being of their neighbors, community or society at large. Volunteers have played an active role in information technologies since the genesis of the modern information age. Many of the key components we use each day, are in fact, to a great extent, the result of volunteer effort. Well-known examples include Internet protocols, open source software and the World Wide Web itself.
