Dear Toppenish Families and Caregivers,

We have exciting news! Our school district is starting a very important project: creating a new and better plan for the future. We will call this our Toppenish School District Strategic Framework.

What is a Strategic Framework? It is a shared roadmap that tells us our main goals and focus areas for the next few years. It will help us make choices and spend our time and money on what matters most. It will help us meet the needs of our students, our staff, and the whole Toppenish community.

We are working with a partner called Educational Service District 105. ESD 105 are experts in school planning. They will facilitate the process and help us make sure we hear ideas from everyone in our community.

We need to hear what you think! We are looking for people who care about our schools like parents, staff, students, and neighbors, to join our focus groups. These groups will share feedback and ideas to help us build a plan that truly reflects what our community wants for our schools.

ESD 105 will look at everyone who is interested to make sure we have a group that represents our community well. If you are ready to help shape a strong and welcoming future for our district, please fill out the Interest Form from ESD 105:

The deadline for community members to sign up is Friday, November 28th. 

We look forward to working with you to build a shared direction for the Toppenish School District!

Good morning!

The voices, feedback, expertise and ideas of our community are very important to us as we begin to plan for the future. Don't forget to sign-up to be a member of our Strategic Framework Focus Group!

As of Monday, we have only had 13 TSD community members express interest in being a part of this important work. The ESD 105 would love to have more like 30-35 people serving on this focus group.

If you have any questions about the process, please reach out to our contact at the ESD 105, Shane Backlund (Superintendent) at shane.backlund@esd105.org.

We are #TSDGreaterTogether #ALLIN
