News from the High School Principal
Desk:
We
are busy setting up 20 Day intervention meetings with parents of students that
could potentially be at-risk. We are making gains on our school and district
goals. Our first quarter goals of ‘Frame
the Lesson’ we are meeting in 88% of our classrooms. Our goal of 3 grades a week has been achieved
in 81% of our classrooms. We have had 125
bulldog postcards go home and many parents comment on how well they appreciate
this information. We have had many
bulldog tickets filled out for students as well for positive behaviors. We are excited about our initiatives and will
continue to work hard making our school great.
We have eight students attending the youth summit in Kalispell. I’m really excited about our junior class
this year; they scored very high on the MAP testing last spring. This class will be representing our school
for the Smarter Balance testing this year which is exciting. So far this year the high school has had 97%
attendance rate, which we need to be able to maintain. We will be scheduling the My Voice Survey
soon for our 2014-2015 classes. We had
Blue and White Pride Day and 90% of our students participated. Go Bulldogs!!! We are making great strides and I am very
excited about the results.
