Rationale:  We discussed and agreed to the process of negotiations between the Board and Teachers at the February Meeting.  I have attached the actual agreement complete with revised language for ratification.  We will need a motion to adopt.

Rationale:  Our Committee met on Friday.  I will report on the discussions and resulting changes, if any, in our procedures.

Rationale:  I will begin working with the principals and the maintenance staff on items that we want to address and have a report at the April meeting. 

Rationale: 

State testing 

 

ACT for 11th graders 

 

John Baylor test prep has been used since the beginning of 2nd semester as a part of our preparation for the required ACT test for all juniors.

March 22nd  - All 11th graders will report to the old gym for the ACT practice test.

The gym will be set as it will be during the day of the actual test.  It is a great way for the student to get a feel of what questions will be asked, time allowances for each section, and the set-up of the test.   After it is complete, we will ask students what we can do better to assist them in making it a good testing environment.

The practice ACT is corrected and shared with students. 

 

April 4th - ACT Date for all paper-pencil testing location

We will provide breakfast for all juniors prior to testing.

A  granola bar and water during their break and pizza before they complete the writing section of the test will be provided to students.

After the writing section, 11th graders will be dismissed for the day.  

March 23rd -  All 10th graders will take the Pre-ACT in the old gym. 

Rationale:  Masquerade

April 1st --- No Joke!

Doors open from 6:30PM to 7:00PM for arrival
Grand March in New Gym at 8PM
Dance - 8:30-11:30
Post Prom doors lock at 12AM at the city auditorium

Rationale:  Kindergarten Round Up for incoming kindergarten students will be held on Monday, April 3rd in the elementary gym from 6:00-6:45 pm.  Kindergarten teachers share information with parents about the school day, kindergarten schedule, curriculum and how parents can help to prepare their child for the start of formal schooling.

We mail Kindergarten Round Up invitations to parents and the information is shared on the nbtigers website and in the North Bend Eagle.

Week of the Young Child is April 27th through the 31st.  Miss Davis will be planning an activity for families either during the school day or in the evening.

Rationale:  We have concluded our Winter Sports season.  Sent 3 Wrestlers to State and had two medal winners. 

Our girls team won their 4th straight state title, which is a great accomplishment for Coach Sterup, his staff, and, of course, all the girls on the basketball team over the last four seasons.

We also concluded our regular season of Speech and we have one participant going to the State Speech Meet @ Kearney.

As we move into spring, we have 20 boys and 31 boys out for track this season.   We have 30 total golfers out for golf.  Junior High track starts very soon. 

The Booster Club has been meeting with many potential sponsors.  We have gotten a very good response from our community and the surrounding communities in support of the project.  As of the writing of this report, we are waiting for several recently contacted people about where they will fit and would like to send out contracts to be signed. 

Rationale:  Brenda and Tessie will review the process of searching and securing our candidate.

Rationale:  This item can be discussed or delayed until we have a full slate of Board members at the April Meeting.

Rationale:  We are fortunate at NBC to have a really good staff, both professional and support.  We are hopeful that all current staff will return and would want to get the contracts out to them.  We will ask that they return them by April 15
