Families, Staff, & Community -
Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Updates
I hope students, families, staff, and the community enjoyed the holiday break. I find as the calendar turns to a new year it is a time of reflection and a time to review goals and priorities. As students and staff return to school this week, teachers are reviewing academic goals with students. In January, students in grades Kindergarten through grade 8 will be completing the I-Ready assessment. This assessment provides a mid-year academic progress update on students’ reading and mathematics growth. At the high school, students will be completing the mid-year assessments during the week starting on Tuesday, January 16. After these assessments are completed, please continue to monitor your student’s academic progress.
Alvirne High School will be completing their Senior Capstone Projects with presentations scheduled for the week of January 8th. The presentations show students' attainment of high school competencies and skills as outlined in the Portrait of a Graduate. If you have the opportunity on Monday, January 8 from 3:00-5:00pm or 6:00-8:00pm, please stop by, as these presentations are open to the public.
Budget Updates
The Budget Committee has made cuts to the proposed fiscal year 2024-25 budget of just over $1.9 million, as of their meeting on January 3rd. The details of the budget reductions will be discussed at the upcoming School Board meeting. There are still several steps to the budget process before the final vote on Tuesday, March 12.
