Mr. Temple's Board Report

February 25th , 2020

  • Activities:

    • Donuts with Dad - Thank you to the PTO for hosting the annual Donuts with Dad event.  This is always a well attended and much appreciated event. We will be discussing ways that we can continue it in the future while accommodating for the large crowd.  Comments from our parents were all very positive.

    • Cheerleading Clinic- Thank you to Mrs. Pace, Mrs. Arnold and the high school cheerleaders for hosting the little Rams cheer clinic.  With over 100 Pre-k through 5th grade students this was quite an undertaking. It was a great event that was well organized for all involved.  The elementary students enjoyed the opportunity to practice and perform during the boys basketball game.  


    School Improvement

    • First PD book study meeting - The first of three professional development meetings focused on the book being read by three different teacher groups was held in February.  These opportunities have led to great conversation and reflection on how what has been read can impact instruction in the classroom.

    • Sped/Gen ed meeting - These meetings are student focused providing opportunity for teachers to discuss students that may need increased services and how they can accommodate for upcoming activities/projects in the gen ed classrooms.  

    • Fall benchmark meeting - Following the fall ELA benchmarking period this meeting is an opportunity to reflect on how the process went and to discuss ways that we can improve on the process in the future.  The ELA benchmarking identifies students who may need intervention through Title I, Rti and potentially Special Education services.  

    • Rti meeting - This meeting focuses on students who have been receiving services through Rti and Title I programming.  Classroom teachers meet with Title and Rti instructors to discuss programming and student progress.

    • Completed 17 formal observations - The month of February is alway full of teacher observations that need to be completed.  Of the 21 teachers needing to be evaluated this year, 17 of them were completed this month. There are a number of meetings on either side of the observations.  In total at least 70 meetings needed to be scheduled with staff to complete this process.
