PRINCIPAL’S REPORT - Last month Mrs. Pruter mentioned the Title review and reported that we received our letter of operation for next year for the Elementary program. After completing the fix for the High School, we also received our letter of operation for the next school year. Mrs. Pruter sent a progress report to the State about Rule 10 issues. We are on the road to meeting those requirements. We just received word late today that our violations have been cleared based on the information she has submitted so far. Our Statewide Writing results came in. They were released publically on the 24^th. Most of our data is masked because of the small numbers. There were some issues with the word processing program used for the 8^th and 11^th grades. They do not believe these issues affected scores, but they can’t guarantee that they didn’t so writing scores for 8 & 11 will not be used on the NePAS system for next year. 8^th grade scores will not be used for AYP decisions this year. Those will be based on Math, Reading and participation for this year only. Summer School – we started Summer School today with 18 students. We had some initial issues with bussing, but hope to have that cleared up tomorrow. We started the day by having the students work in the new Compass Learning system. The students seemed to be engaged until we had some computer issues. The teachers found some educational board games to play until we could get the computers fixed. Sessions run from 8:30 – 2:30 Monday through Thursday. Friday, the 14^th will be a fun day wrap up for those who have attended regularly and completed their work.
