Homeroom Huddle

What does it take to serve over 7,000 meals to students every school day? To find out, we headed to the kitchen with our Food Services Director, a kitchen manager, and other rockstars from in and around the classroom to discuss school meals and their impact on student success. Packed with compliments and criticisms from our students, we'll pick apart the vegetable color rotation, sprinkle regulations over sodium and sugar, and ultimately discover the care and planning behind every single bite.

In a rapidly changing world, what skills do students really need to succeed after high school? In this episode of Homeroom Huddle, we explore "durable skills" and how Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes create an ideal environment to learn them. Joined by a teacher, a student, an industry engineer, and our CTE director, this conversation uses real-world examples to show how these hands-on pathways prepare every student for a future-ready life.

Starting Kindergarten is an exciting time for first-time families, but can also feel overwhelming. In this episode of Homeroom Huddle, we talk with educators and family specialists about everything from enrollment and classroom life to school readiness, communication, and resources for extra support. Packed with practical tips and reassurance, this conversation is designed to help parents (and incoming Kindergarteners) feel confident and prepared for public education.
