General Comments:
Student data from our Winter MAP testing has been coming in and students have shown better than usual growth! We are proud of all the teachers and students in EsCSD and all the work that has gone into their successes. There is a lot going on in January, watch for flyers coming home with dates and times, as-well-as our webpage and school Facebook pages.
PLC/Safety Committee:
As we start the new calendar year, the Safety Committee will be looking at types of online training we need to address and what we have learned, in semester 1 of this school year, about areas we need to improve, or just know more about. Our fairly new phone and PA systems, along with our single point of entry, and safety cameras, are being constantly monitored, updated, and evaluated for effectiveness. Special thanks to maintenance staff, and technology support for all they do to keep these systems in peak shape and our school sites safe and secure.
District Facilities and Transportation Update:
Our updated/newly installed internet access on buses has been in place for only a short time, but we are thankful for the grant that allows us to get this started. Cameras on buses and evaluation of our practices are being done to make certain that we are doing everything we can to keep children safe not only at school, but also while traveling to and from school. Special thanks to our bus drivers, mechanic support staff, and all those who are making sure students get where they need to safely.
Superintendent:
Just before break, we experienced a great NASB Conference in Reno, Nevada. The speakers, break out sessions, and time to collaborate are helping to make us a more cohesive and effective leadership group for EsCSD. The Governor's state of the state address is coming up on January 15th and we look forward to his report on the excellent progress Nevada has made economically in 2024 and the impact that will have on school funding. We are expecting to be able to keep our programs, specials, and intervention programs in the 2025-2026 school year, with, we hope, an increase in support for summer programs and STEM programs. As of now, things are going very well and we look forward to a great 2025!
