Educational News:
Rachel Montag updated the board that the Christmas Concert went well. Mrs. Naeve does an excellent job with our students. The Senior meal went well and thank you all for helping with this as it is a big task and takes many hands to do. The events group will be meeting tomorrow to go over what went well and where we can improve for next year. We will start doing assessments for the students again in mid-January. Our special education numbers are getting high, and we are looking at ways to make sure we are covered and are possibly going to need to hire more staff.
Superintendent Peppmeier updated the board that Beau has been working on getting the school bus fixed that was in an accident on December 6th. The other driver’s insurance will be paying for the repairs and we are hoping to get it all fixed by the time we come back from break but for sure in time for the our bus inspections in January. I have really enjoyed being apart of all the wonderful things happening here with the Holiday Concert, Donuts with Grown-Ups, and the Senior Holiday Dinner. A lot of awesome things are going on and it has been a great 1st semester.
