Our survey told us that we need to to a better job of implementing our Paw Print reward system. To that end, Coach Ragsdale and I will be announcing specific Paw Print redemption dates, along with rewards, in the next week or so. Coach Rags has already met with a cross section of our student body to get ideas for these rewards. Additionally, we have spoken with the Montgomery Biscuits about watching a ball game during the school day. We will announce the date as well as the requirements for this trip within the next couple of weeks as well.
Our teachers overwhelmingly feel that we need to aggressively pursue an advisory program, and it is my goal to implement such a program next year. Stay tuned for more information on that one.
We are pretty evenly split as to how classes should be arranged when we engage in our "big move" this summer. This will be open for discussion at our next division meeting.
When we do meet again, I will be placing you into action teams to come up with specific plans for moving our middle school program forward. Our numbers look good for next year, and I am excited about the future of our school! Thanks, again, for your input!
