4.d. Principal's Report
Discussion:
Elementary enrollment is at 162. Spring NSCAS results from last year surpassed the goal that had been set so there will be a celebration of the students' hard work. Elementary ELA teachers traveled to Ravenna for professional learning focusing on CKLA curriculum and its alignment to state standards. The In-School Savings Program continues to be a great success, with the most recent bank day had 47 deposits totaling $251.79. This continues to provide leadership skills and real-world skills to the 5th and 6th grade tellers.
Mrs. Hostetler's Project Wisdom Assembly Recognized 21 students for October with the Theme: Students Who Make a Difference in Their School/Classroom/Community. The cell phone challenge had 31 participants. Homecoming was a HUGE success — with 88% of all JH/HS students attending. Congrats to the volleyball team qualifying for State. ESU provided some training on Power school and HAL. Mrs. Hostetler provided results from the cell phone survey.
