DHS Principal's Report
Jeremy Dodd
6.B.1.
Read 180
Teachers: Ms. Lukens, Ms. Rubemeyer, and Ms. Hawkins presented on the Read 180 program. They each discussed their data charts and findings.
These teachers use the Read 180 program just about every day in their classrooms. They noted the importance of starting the students early while they are at LES so to help bridge the gap into DMS/DHS. They also mentioned how the students work individually in this program and therefore, students don't feel judged by their peers.
They believe Read 180 should be a 2 year program and should be continued in to the 9th grade. Also, in moving forward the teachers would like for students to be able to test out of a class so they can continue to be challenged and not held back.

Ms. Howell noted that the Daycare is at a deficit this month, however, there are still some outstanding bills that could correct this.

Ms. Howell also mentioned that we are considering sharing a School Psychologist with Bellevue Independent Schools.
6.G.
Food Service
Mr. Brewer noted that our cafeteria is working to do "more cooking than warming." It's important to cook fresh and healthy meals for our students instead of reheating meals.
He also mentioned the News Channel 12 segment about students at Dayton Schools going hungry during extended snow days. He believes the quality of food is important and it's not just about "surviving but thriving."
