Scott Meyers reported:


Mr. Meyers and Mr. Wright have been meeting weekly with PLC groups via video.  Most school events have been cancelled.  Prom has been rescheduled for June 18.  Mr. Meyers reviewed the ACT results and  honor roll numbers from 3rd quarter. Mr. Meyers, Mr. Wright and Mr. Herbst have made approximately 100 home visits to encourage students to complete their NTI work.  Still hoping to have a graduation ceremony when the governor allows us to.

Teachers and staff have been working hard to create engaging home work activities for students.  Students are in the middle of their 2nd packet and 83% of students have returned their first learning packet.  Teachers have been meeting with their students via google meet and/or phone conversations. Mrs. Dragan gave a shout out to classified staff who have been keeping busy and working hard. May 8th will be the last distribution day and will contain summer learning activities.  LES teachers had a car parade around the city and a virtual spirit week to try to motivate students.  LES is working on a staff video for students.

Rick Wolf reported:


KDE has been requesting information which Mr. Wolf has been providing.  Currently working on an application for NTI days for the 2020-2021 school year.  Application is much more involved that the emergency 2019-2020 application. Question from boardmember Pfeffer - What are we doing for students who are not doing their NTI work?  Response:  Principals have been making home visits to these students to try and help them.

Mrs. Ponting echoed the responses of all other administrators in the fact that the staff of both schools have been doing and excellent job and have gone above and beyond for the students.   ARC meetings have been held virtually.  Speech, PT, and OT have been providing tele-health services. NTI is not required for Preschoolers, but we are providing them with work to do. The preschool partnership grant will not be offered next year.
