Quarter 1 has just come to a close! Scholars and teachers are now grounded in routines and curriculum, and are ready to take flight in Quarter Two.

Interim assessments took place this week throughout elementary school. Teachers will use this data to inform them on which standards need more focus during the weeks ahead as we push towards overall standards mastery. These will continue into next week.

A special academic shout out to the first grade with over 70% of scholars scoring a 3 or 4 on their math mid module assessment!

This week, we continued to learn about Manufacturing. Middle school scholars visited Stainless Tank and Equipment. During the visit, they learned about the manufacturing process, careers, and toured the facility. Seeing the whole process and how busy the company is was amazing.

High school scholars attended Manufacturing Day at Blackhawk Technical College’s Advanced Manufacturing Facility in Milton. Scholars toured the campus and learned about the different training programs offered. Scholars also had time to network with manufacturing companies from all over the county.

Scholars in K4-3 learned about fire safety and had the opportunity to check out the fire truck. Scholars were encouraged to go home and ensure they had a working fire alarm and develop an evacuation plan. Please contact the school if you do not have a working fire alarm.
