We need your input on "What are some important perspectives to consider as we plan to replace Ponderosa Middle School in the years to come?".

To gather your feedback, we're using a tool called ThoughtExchange. All of our voices matter, so your participation is crucial and valued.

You'll be asked to respond to one open-ended question, consider and assign stars to some of the ideas shared by others (20 to 30 is ideal), and learn what's important to the group.

Your thoughts and stars are confidential. You can come back as often as you'd like to participate and, in fact, we ask that you do come back to star some of the new ideas shared since you first participated. The ratings will help us understand the most important areas to focus on.

ThoughtExchange - Engaging Families in Two-Way Conversation

In today's world of seemingly unlimited ways for a school district to communicate with families, engaging with them and receiving feedback is very important.

In fact, KFCS has set a goal to provide a method for parents and community members to provide feedback in order to gauge satisfaction with specific educational programs and initiatives taking place in our schools.

We use a communications tool called ThoughtExchange. It allows the sharing thoughts confidentially to ensure all voices are heard and all divergent views can come to light around a shared topic of interest or concern.

ThoughtExchange is not a survey tool, rather, it engages interaction as people respond anonymously with other participants.

1. A broad question is posed and people are invited to respond.

2. Thoughts are shared anonymously with others participating in the exchange.

3. Participants rate (using 1-5 stars) their agreement with each thought.

4. Data is gathered for analysis and used as input for decision-making.

Information learned through ThoughtExchange will be used to gauge parent and community participation and understanding in interactions with school staff and administrators.
