Report Cards and End of Trimester 1
Trimester 1 ended on Wednesday, November 28. Following the end of the trimester, students have two weeks to resolve NYPs before final grades are calculated. During this time, teachers will work with students to reteach and reassess if needed.
Report Cards will be sent home on Monday, December 17. Please use the grading practices parent handbook to review the reporting of achievement grades, learning practices, and honor roll requirements. A link to the handbook is provided below. If you have any questions about your child's report card, please contact the school.
Personalized Learning
I look forward to sharing more information about personalized learning, and the ways that our teachers are using it in their classrooms in future newsletters.
Scenes from November events
Board of Education
Chairperson: Martin Lindenmayer
Vice-Chairperson: Gonzalo Garcia-Pedroso
Secretary: CiCi Nielson
Member: Dana Slaughter
Member: Melissa Cherniske
The November Board of Education meeting was held on Wednesday, November 7. The Board recognized community member, George Woodin. George spent many hours in the Kent Center School gym fixing the sound system. He was flexible with his hours making sure he didn't interrupt the students' physical education classes, but diligent with his work so it would be done before the 3rd and 4th-grade play. Thank you, George, for your assistance.
The Board of Education chose Heather Strid as its representative on the Region One Board.
The KCS Window Project is in its final development stage; the Board approved the construction budget and parameters for the bid process. The actual project to replace the windows will start during the summer of 2019.
A special meeting will be held the first week of December to interview candidates to fill the open vacancy on the KCS board.
The next Board of Education meeting is on Wednesday, December 5.
