They shared information regarding the current state of affairs at the high school as well as a proposed plan of action to increase the mental health awareness of students at the high school and to include monthly assemblies on mental health.
2.The Kindergarten teachers will share a presentation with the board regarding information on “staggered start” for Kindergarten. The Kindergarten staff shared a proposal with the BOE about an innovative approach to starting the year. The proposal called “Staggered Start.” This approach would cut the class of 18-22 in half and place them in group A/B with one group going M/W/F and the other group going T/TH. The schedule would switch the following week. Each group would receive five days that will be more personalized in the beginning of the year for many different things that these students are experiencing for the first time. The BOE will make a decision regarding the proposal at their March regular work session.
Activity Complex Update
Mr. Embray gave an update to the activities complex. They are on schedule, but have a technical four week delay put in place due to how they have decided to tackle the project.
