Mine Hill BOE
June 2018 End-of-Year Special Report
Mine Hill Board of Education Members
From The Superintendent
What a fantastic school year! The Mine Hill Township School District was listed as one of only seven districts in the state to be deemed a Lighthouse District. Our three-year QSAC review resulted in a "high performing" designation, and our students continue to show growth in numerous academic areas overall and within subgroups. Our continued emphasis on developing a student-centered environment, focusing on innovation and executive functioning skills, has led to many accolades throughout the state and a variety of educators (including the Commissioner of Education) visiting CAS's classrooms this year to observe and learn.
Although we are still awaiting news from the Commissioner of Education regarding Mine Hill's 7th and 8th graders, our staff continues to prepare for that possibility in the future. Considering it's the end of the year and we still do not have an answer, we will be sending our 6th graders to Dover next year as per the current send/receive agreement. In addition, all new Choice Students, that have been conditionally accepted, can now register and we have enough seats to accommodate them.
In some exciting news, we are looking forward to the grand opening of our newly renovated educational media center (AKA Library) in September; fresh paint, new carpet, contemporary furniture, upgraded electric and lighting, and new technology will be included. A Grand Opening Ceremony will be scheduled in September, invitations to the public will follow.
I wish everyone an enjoyable end to the school year, and hope to see you at the PTA picnic! As always, if you have any questions, comments, great ideas, or accolades, contact me anytime!
Best Regards,
Mr. Nittel
