Supt. Lefdal highlighted the AD report as AD Hauxwell was absent due to the current activities.

The Chase Co. Cross Country Invitational was last Thursday with 15 teams participating in the HS Division (up 4 up from last year) and 8 in the JH Division. There were approx. 249 runners. The biggest challenge in fall season has been the softball fields. The infield needs some dirt work and leveled out. The field has been holding a lot of water and has been challenging to get ready for games. We had to move the Southern Valley game to McCook and postpone the Wray, CO game to Oct. 3rd. Hauxwell thanked Joey, Andres, Fred, Denise, and Joel and Julie Gockley with their help draining water off of the field.

X.2. Principals
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Discussion:
Principal Scheel noted he and Ms. Odens intend to report collaboratively going forward. Scheel began noting the Nebraska Loves Public Schools rep over the summer mentioned "student families" and both Principals liked the idea and so they have ultimately created k-4, 5-8 families respectively for the last 30 minutes of Fridays. This "family time" begins with some guided activity and ends with each families' discussion. First time was last Friday and the initial response was positive. In regards to professional development on Fridays, teachers' response indicated they wanted to maintain "tribes" for discussion and collaboration with a closing of the day with all K-12 staff. This time is used to announce teachers of the week. In addition, Principals have presented teacher assignments that have been integrated incorporating varying strategies with time to implement and then reflect. Both Principals are conducting weekly walk-throughs together. Today Dir. of IT, Shane Gerhartz also participated in 6 classroom observations together with the Principals. Board Member Smith inquired as to the student member and Principal Scheel noted he an Counselor Herbert are working on and intend to have a student present by the next meeting. |
