General Comments:
January has flown by with winter break, basketball season, and hydroponics grow beds being replanted, and larger grow towers getting their first seeding. There have been some very sweet greens coming out of our water gardens! We are proud of all the teachers and students in EsCSD and all the work that has gone into their successes. February is another busy month, so 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:
All of our buses were inspected and we are in the process of having those repairs completed. Some had minor air leaks, some were getting close to needing brakes. Special thanks to our bus drivers, new mobile mechanic support, and all those who are making sure students get where they need to safely.
Superintendent:
We are in a new legislative session and that always means change and new things to work on. As of now, EsCSD is on track. We have the buses running, students in classes (we were just complimented by the state during a visit on how well behaved our students are), and staff members are doing a great job. Our observations of classrooms have revealed a wonderful example of caring educators and well run classrooms. The basketball season is winding down and students have practiced and played hard!
Go Mustangs!
