Stillwater Area Public Schools is introducing a new Identity Harm Protocol to help create a safe learning environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. In our latest podcast, we explore this protocol through the voices of those it impacts most—our students. Through candid conversations and real-life examples, we unpack what identity harm looks like in our schools and how this initiative is designed to address and prevent it.

The inclusion revolution is spreading across our district and it’s giving kids with special needs the opportunity to shine. Tune in to the latest Pony Voices podcast to hear how our school community isn’t just accepting kids who are different, but actually cheering them on in big and small ways. Hear first hand from students, staff, and parents about the profound impact of inclusion on their lives. These inspiring stories might just make you feel all tingly with Pony Pride!

For years we’ve heard that our current high school schedule limits the number of electives our students can take. With only 6 periods in a day and two semesters there are only 12 opportunities in a year. And a lot of those classes are required for graduation. There just aren’t many options left in the schedule for students to explore something new.  In our latest Pony Voices podcast we talk with staff who are taking a deeper look at how we might change our schedule to give kids more options and maybe reduce the number of transitions and number of classes that students have in one day.
