I have joint custody of my son Shane and live out of state so have limited awareness with regards of "needs to change".... But I would gladly support anything Miss Cameron supports. My son thinks the world of her still and speaks highly of her. Thank you

We support you all!

As the PYP Representative for the Rocky Mountain Association of IB World Schools, I know that successful PYP schools are those who have the autonomy to collaborate on a regular basis, facilitate IB specific professional development opportunities for their staff, select resources and assessments in line with the IB philosophy, and train and then retain teachers. I would encourage the school board to grant this autonomy to Wheeling Elementary, because strengthening the PYP at this school will provide countless opportunities for their students!

Sounds amazing!

Hi, let me start by saying that both of my children have enjoyed attending Wheeling Elementary. This IB school has given so much to them as students, but also as individuals. This is where they learn about equality, creativity and a strong community. These are lifelong skills that are needed for the future of our world. I support Wheeling's desire to do what they know works for the students, to continue with the IB curriculums. It is time that public schools are given the chance to make decisions based on the demographics of their students. It is time for teachers to be excited to show new and engaging ways to help students learn. It is time for a change, a real change. Our students deserve and desire it! I, as as parent, love that my children have the opportunity to experience such caring people dedicated to their future success. Thank you Wheeling family!

Data clearly shows that the current models in our public school systems are failing our kids at alarming rates. Despite small improvements from individual schools to address these disparities, many schools and educators are prohibited in developing innovative models and programs within the confines of the district requirements. I support innovation designation because it shows that the school is trying to break the mold of where public schools are failing our students. It is a forward-thinking, proactive approach. Any school taking this kind of initiative, especially those supported and designed by Black educators, parents of Black children who are most affected by these disparities should be granted the opportunity to do so.

I love the teachers support

Sometimes change is not always the best thing.

Our children need programs of this nature earlier than later in order remain competitive in today's world. And it's a great help for kids of color like mine. We need to look ahead to changing the norm in education to seek extraordinary outcomes for our children. This is necessary and essential.

This is an awesome achool. Kids are number 1 when it comes to these teachers.

great for the school and the community, I support Wheeling Elementary School's.

Wheeling IB is an incredible asset to the Aurora community and it's IB status is a pivot cause. The curriculum and methodology of its IB program helped my kids have a global perspective while learning literacy, math, and science fundamentals. I believe this has added depth to their learning and helped them be critical thinkers on a universal level. It is important to maintain this method of teaching as our world becomes increasingly more socially global.
