January Updates:
Well, the month of January has been a bit of a blur. We had an unusually large amount of students enroll after the break. The counseling department dealt with over 300 schedule changes/adjustments. We will be looking at ways to make this process easier for next year. The snow days, holidays, and PD days have made it extremely hard to get any type of rhythm going so hopefully, the worst of winter is behind us and we can move forward. Congratulations to the schools first every state qualifiers for girls wrestling. Rylee Baker and Paige Clines will be representing the Hornets starting February 14th at the state tournament. Rylee Baker earns the distinction as the first-ever girl wrestling state qualifier in state history.
We are currently preparing for Academic week, Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior scheduling for next year, and graduation. If your student qualified for Academic Week you should have received a letter in the mail. Those letters are due back to Mrs. Painter so we can organize the banquet and field trip.
As you noticed our district APR was down from last year. At the high school, we looked at preliminary data and the academic numbers and graduation rate look really solid. We missed earning full points in college and career readiness by 2-3 students, and our attendance was very close as well missing out on full points by .5%. We will be meeting tomorrow as a building to go over the college and career numbers to formulate a plan to increase in that area, but we need your help on increasing our attendance. It is imperative that students are at school and that is the one area the district is struggling with. Please ensure your student is at school every day.
Congratulations to the December students of the month pictured below.
Thanks,
Chris
