Taste of 500 Announcement

From Josh Mathiasmeier and Miguel Martin
The annual “Taste of 500” has been scheduled for March 31, 2016 at F.L. Schlagle High School from 12:00-1:45. As a service to the district, Nutritional Services will be paying for transportation for up to 20 students and staff from each school to attend. In preparation for this, please make transportation arrangements with Miguel Martin and Josh Mathiasmeier to ensure that you students and staff have a voice in next years Nutritional Services Programs and Operations. We look forward to another successful Taste of 500 and hope that everyone will take the opportunity to attend and provide important feedback!

ELPA Test Window/Information

From Kristen Scott
Administrators please pass the information along to your ESL department as well as your building test coordinator. The window for ELPA officially opens on February 22, however, do not plan on testing when the window opens.
David Rand should be receiving his notification soon to go into the testing system. David will then look to see what we will need from buildings around groupings of students and teacher test administrator names. This is the easy part of the process. The difficulty lies in that we still have not received the actual testing application so that TIS can put the icon onto the machines in the buildings. As stated in the February 3rd meeting, please have several alternate schedules on hand for this test. More information will follow, but if you have questions or concerns please contact Kristen Scott or David Rand.

Board Items

From Lisa Wilson
Correction – All board agenda items must be turned in to Lisa Wilson the Tuesday before the board for the regular agenda and the Thursday before the Board for the addendum. In the case of an emergency add, please let Lisa Wilson or Dr. Kelli Mather know, but understand these will be exceptions.
