![]() ![]() I sent a message out earlier this week about the Junior and Senior High school staff implementing a change in policy for next year related to cell phones. We are good for two years and then we need to figure out how to sustain the program. This funding was provided by the State Art and Music Block grant. This three day a week program features professional musicians that will work with our students to grow a base of musical fundamentals and provide additional enrichment for students that are already progressing in their musicianship. We have expanded an existing partnership with Gabriela Frank’s organization and a formal music program will be rolled out at the elementary site beginning next year and will be embedded at the high school site as well. They have the appropriate CTE credentials to allow us to expand these offerings officially. These classes will be led by Steve Rhoades and Wynne Crisman. ![]() We are officially adding into the schedule at the high school two periods of welding next year and two periods of digital design. It is an amazing opportunity for the students. Antonia Marin also volunteered to chaperone. Our FFA program under the direction of Beth Swehla is at the state convention. Certificated staff are required to attend but everyone is welcome. The final report from the visiting committee is scheduled for Tuesday, March 28 at 3:30 in room one at the high school. If you would like to meet the visiting committee, please join us at the Boonville Hotel on Sunday, March 26 at 3 o’clock. We appreciate the efforts of everyone involved. The district's WASC accreditation visit for the high school begins a week from Sunday, March 26. ![]() We have a beautiful new scheme that has been selected. The painter will then move onto the exteriors of the elementary school. We are returning our graduations to the traditional stage format. The first job will be to repaint the high school stage. Drug and Alcohol FolderĪ District painter has been hired and we are excited to start refreshing the exterior of our buildings. A resource folder with drug and alcohol interventions and information has been compiled. We have identified areas we wish to address and now we need to come up with some strategies. This is a district-wide meeting and will be translated. The Drug Prevention and Anti-Bullying Task Force is scheduled for Tuesday, April 4 at 5 o’clock in the high school library. We are here to help and we celebrate students and families that are creating such positive turnarounds. There are so many students that were scheduled on my conference list due to lower performance, and when I went into the meetings, more times than not, we have seen such significant progress on their grades since the last progress report. I also want to acknowledge the efforts of the students and family members that have been working together to create better engagement and achievement. One of the biggest strengths of this district is huge participation rates in our family/teacher conferences. Speaking of feeling connection and warmth, I thank you to all our parents/guardians and family members that took the time to support your students during our conference week. I think everyone in the district, child and adult alike was happy to see the sky and feel the warmth. It was so wonderful to have a few days of sunshine.
