Superintendent highlights early‑learning gains and CTE fair attendance
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Saltzman reported improved kindergarten readiness at district schools after early‑learning initiatives and described a recent CTE fair that drew more than 500 students and families.
In the superintendent’s report on Feb. 11, Dr. Saltzman highlighted early‑learning and career‑and‑technical‑education work across the district.
Why it matters: district staff said stronger kindergarten readiness correlates with better outcomes on the Smarter Balanced assessments by third grade and that transition‑to‑kindergarten work is part of closing early achievement gaps.
Details: Dr. Saltzman said five elementary schools — Monroe, Silver Lake, Tambor Creek, View Ridge and Woodside — participated in a transition‑to‑kindergarten program serving 96 students this year. The district will host a virtual “kickoff to kindergarten” webinar on Feb. 25 and open kindergarten registration March 3. The superintendent also reported over 500 attendees at a Jan. 23 CTE fair for grades 5–8 and praised CTE student ambassadors who ran the event.
Ending: Dr. Saltzman thanked communications and cabinet staff for weather‑related communications during recent snow days.
