Rum River Elementary is the only school in our district with this large of an impact to our students. There is one other elementary school where students are in two different middle school attendance boundaries, and it is divided approximately 60% to Oak View Middle School and 40% to Coon Rapids Middle School, far less disjoined than our 92/8 separation.  Moving schools during middle school can have a significant negative impact on a student, often leading to emotional stress, social disruption, potential academic setbacks, and challenges with forming new relationships, as they are at a crucial developmental stage where peer connections are vital and adapting to new environments can be difficult; this can manifest as anxiety, sadness, feelings of isolation, and decreased academic engagement.  This is supported through research and best practice findings by multiple reputable organizations including U.S. Department of Education.  Considering property taxes associated with living in this location, we would hope priority would be given to attending the schools we fund.  We are currently in the process of gathering data from the school district to gain further clarity on the balance of in-district transfers vs out of district open enrollment.  When evaluating all of the information we cannot see where the risks outweigh the benefits of having this very small student population be allowed to permanently attend Oak View Middle School and Andover High School (not through in-district transfer).

Senn High school should promote inclusion and acceptance for all students. Yet, this year they decided to hold homecoming on the highest of holy days for the Jewish community. Sign our letter to Principal Holly Dacres to ensure that for all future school events, the Senn administration will commit to reviewing the interfaith calendar to ensure equal opportunities for all students. 

Let’s show the administration that we care! 

This teacher was an amazing teacher who made all students feel welcome and safe in their classroom. 

We need to make the school understand that yes, rules are there to keep us safe but with the safety hazards we're not safe. 

It’s important because we pay entirely way too much money to only have a certain amount of hours to have friends over. 

This is important because we want to make sure we have the most effective day at school without our emotions getting to us. We all value the quality of our shows very much and we all have a lot going on in the first week of school. We hate to see our classmates upset, and we want to avoid that as much as possible at school. 

For the safety of students.

Trauma therapy, recovery, and spiritual support have brought these women ways of healing and becoming productive citizens. 

Public education is essential to a successful citizen community, workforce, and democracy. Districts across the country are failing; don't let revenue-rich Washington State underfund education and destroy public schools to be replaced by inequitable private schools and substandard charter schools. All children deserve a safe elementary education that meets their needs. There is enough funding to make this happen and we need to hold them accountable that they prioritize fixing our education funding crisis this legislative session.
