Voice of LeadeR Dr. Black’s Farewell Message Dear Papillion-La Vista School District Families and Friends, It is with very mixed emotions that I write this final message to you. As my 40 year career in education comes to an end, I leave knowing the last 15 years were serving the best School District in the state. I could not be more proud of the accomplishments of our students and staff. I leave this District knowing it is in great hands with very capable staff who are dedicated to the success of each child. The commitment of Papillion-La Vista School District teachers and all staff is truly second to none. I appreciate all they have done and will continue to do for our students. Excellence doesn’t happen by chance. Our District has created a road map to take students through their PreK-12 educational journey in our schools. It is a plan that is tried and true. I encourage one and all to value, treasure, sustain, and build upon the endearing and enduring beliefs of the Papillion-La Vista School District. I am very excited about the next phase in my life. I look forward to spending time with my wife as we watch our grandchildren go through their elementary and high school years, many in our own District. However, I will miss the numerous relationships I have built over the years with our staff, our families, and our community. I want to thank all of the School Board members and school administrators I have worked with through the years. Your leadership has helped shape the great education offered in the Papillion-La Vista School District. I look forward to staying connected to our District as a resident and grandparent. Best wishes to everyone!
- Rick Black, Ed.D. Superintendent

Papillion-La Vista School District Excellenc
Introducing Dr. Rikli
Board of Education
To the Papillion-La Vista School District Community, I am very excited to be a part of the Papillion-La Vista School District. I truly believe this is the best school district in Nebraska and one of the very best in the country. This is a wonderful opportunity for my wife and I to raise our three children in this School District and community. Both Amy and I are small town Nebraskans at heart so this is a great fit for our entire family. My focus as I begin my new role on July 1 is to really get to know the staff, the District and the community. I want to learn what makes Papillion-La Vista the best. I am hoping to build on our strengths and tweak the things we can do even better. I know the foundation for a great school district comes from a team approach where the staff, students, parents and community are equally focused on what is best for each child. Together, we will take the Papillion-La Vista School District to the next level. I am so incredibly thankful for being able to follow in Dr. Black’s footsteps. He is truly a leader among school superintendents and he has certainly been and will continue to be a role model for me. I am also thankful for the professional and committed Board of Education members we have. I look forward to getting to know all of you and our new community. We move into our new home in late July so please introduce yourself if you see me in the community.
e. . . One Student at a Time
Best Regards, Andy Rikli, Ed.D. Superintendent

21st Century Skills After 13 years of education all Papillion-La Vista graduates will be‌ Knowledgeable individuals understand content necessary to be successful in a variety of endeavors. Information processors access and analyze information from a variety of sources for different purposes. Effective communicators apply their reading, speaking, writing, and listening skills to communicate effectively. Critical thinkers and problem solvers assess the situation, gather important information and develop relevant, effective alternatives to reach a solution or decision. Self-directed learners take the initiative to actively and independently inquire and apply learning to new and different situations.
Collaborative individuals value teamwork and the results achieved from multiple viewpoints and talents working together toward a common purpose. Active, responsible citizens are well-informed and apply knowledge and skills to improve the quality of their lives and communities.

Personally and professionally responsible individuals take responsibility for their own physical, intellectual, emotional, and social well-being. Individual leaders have a strong sense of vision, have passion, and are able to inspire commitment.

How Do We Measure Student Achievement? Local District Assessments The PLSD writes its own assessments which measure how well students know the District content standards. The District assessments are challenging, instead of just asking students to answer multiple choice questions, the assessments ask students to demonstrate and communicate their learning. Assessment information allows teams of teachers to compare results and identify strengths and weaknesses within the District and between classrooms.
