Semester Coming to a Close
We are now down to the last three weeks of the quarter/semester. Although the end of the semester closes with Winter Break at Christmas, report cards will not be mailed out until we return in January. With finals and entering grades in the computer, there is no way to get grades mailed before the Christmas holiday.
The after school intervention program is going well. Over 175 students, mostly eighth graders, are staying daily for help in Math and Language Arts. All sports students are required to work on homework forty-five minutes with their coaches before going out to practice. Before Christmads we will also be adding extra help in History.
The need to increase student proficiency has been hard work. Students are putting out the extra effort and parent flexibility has been real helpful. Thank you to both students and staff for making education a priority.
Vocational Education
As part of our educational opportunity to offer students build both academic and vocational skills, a new after school program has been added. This hands-on small engine class gives students a chance to build their knowledge and learn a skill. Students will learn how to rebuild small engines under the direction of a teacher and volunteer local business partners. This project-based learning experience will be expanding in the future to include other automotive applications.
