Mustang News – March 5, 2020
I hope everyone had a great vacation and enjoyed time away with family and friends. I went to the west coast of Florida. This was new as I had never been. It was amazing.
Teachers are beginning to give spring assessments to students. The teachers will evaluate each student’s data. Our school’s MTSS (Multi-Tiered Systems of Support) will support students who are not proficient in the skills assessed. This may look like the classroom teacher is spending extra time with the student and/or the students receiving extra support from one of our math or literacy interventionist. If you have any questions, please call the classroom teacher or me.
Ms. Meghan Wells has volunteered to provide our 6th-8th students an opportunity to explore drama. She will be holding a drama club after school on Wednesdays (starting 3/11/20) from 3:30-5:30. A snack will be provided to our students who participate. Students must have a note in order to stay. She will be working on team building and student relationships. The result will be a school play in late May or early June. If you would like more information, please call Ms. Wells at 782-3095. This is an exciting opportunity for our middle school students, and I thank Ms. Wells for volunteering her time.
The Girls Scouts of America was at school on March 4th. There was zero participation. I spoke with them and they are willing to come back and discuss. They did share with me that it is $40 per year membership fee, but if a child receives free or reduced lunch the fee is waived. If you are interested, please call the school and we will reschedule if there is enough interest. We would also need two adult volunteers to support this.
As many of you know the budget didn’t pass. I will be working with teachers, the school board and the GISU staff to decrease the current proposed budget. This is going to be difficult as it will be cuts within PreK-8. Our local budget also includes high school students (there are 16 new students this school year) and GISU assessments that we have no control over. If you have any suggestions or concerns please email me, call or stop by school to speak with me. This is going to be a very difficult task as we have had 53 new students enroll this year in PreK-8.
As always it is a pleasure and an honor to be your principal.
