Fifty girls from Vista Del Sur and Desert Meadows attended the 2019 Hermanas STEM Conference. The conference, sponsored by Intel and Phoenix College, enabled girls to interact with STEM professionals and students from Intel, ASU, and Phoenix College. In addition, students had the opportunity to attend several breakout sessions including: 3D Printing, DNA Extraction, Coding, Civil Engineering, and Robotics.
District conducting town halls, community surveys The Laveen School District is hosting a number of town halls to gain insight about its schools from a variety of stakeholders. Each school is holding a parent town hall, in addition to several staff forums, to allow parents the opportunity to share feedback on their experiences with Laveen’s schools and district. These sessions will be moderated by Hazard, Young, Attea, and Associates (HYA). HYA has been contracted by the district as an independent third party to conduct a comprehensive, thorough, and productive community engagement process. The team’s goal is to provide the Laveen District with accurate information identifying and measuring community, parent, student, and staff perceptions of Laveen’s schools. Please visit www.laveeneld.org/community-survey for dates and locations of upcoming town halls. An online survey will also be shared with all families in the coming weeks. .
