Principal’s Report January 12, 2009
→ This Friday (1/9) staff will be taking a practice MAP test on Language Arts. This will be to familiarize the staff with the language art test procedures that will be given on January 28 & 29. We will test the elementary kids one day and the middle school and high school kids the next. We are only going to give the Language Arts portion during our first testing window to ensure that we have everything in place in order to give a full battery of tests in the Spring.

→ Our current student count is one student down from last month to 95. We had one student who is now being homeschooled.
→ Last month we had four minor student discipline issues. Of those, two were from two students each. There was only one student discipline issue that required placement on the discipline ladder due to excessive tardies.
