General Comments: Students have shown great endurance this year, coming to school everyday and working hard. The hands-on projects, physical education, and constant academic effort evident everywhere one looks! Our Basketball season has concluded. A special thank you to our volunteer Coach Jackie Dowers and staff Chiemi Larsen, Christina Sullivan and Elaine Arnold.
PLC/Safety Committee: The district PLC meeting in March will put the finishing touches on our critical WWHSP Workplace Safety Plan. We originally planned to complete this in one session in November, but committee members saw the need to better understand the plan, the process, and exactly how we, as a unique district, would craft our plan to best benefit our organization. Three cheers for this hard working committee. They did an outstanding job and it will go before the School Board for acceptance in the March Board meeting.
District Facilities and Bus Update: We have some new pictures of our new bus being outfitted with the last needful items before going into service. The newly required underhood engine fire suppression system is one of those last steps. Even as we anticipate the arrival of our new bus, we are scouting for another one for the other side of the district. The work really never ends.
Superintendent/Board: Superintendents from all over the United States came together in San Diego for the AASA convention, where all superintendents (over 5,000 strong) come together to collaborate, give input on policy, and share great thinking about how to make better education in America.
