Students honored; district announces schedules, science fair reboot and Votec tour

Board members and staff recognized student accomplishments and shared upcoming school events at the meeting.

Student recognitions: The board presented certificates to members in honor of School Director Recognition Month. The board also recognized high school and middle school students of the month (one high school student and one middle school student were noted as not present because of weather).

Student updates and events: High school staff reported that the recent marking period has ended and grades will be available online; families who need paper copies were asked to contact the school. Staff warned that failure letters will be mailed to families and encouraged parents to contact teachers and arrange tutoring. Scheduling for next school year was set for Feb. 11, and the Votec tour was rescheduled to Jan. 29 due to weather. The alumni exam was scheduled for Feb. 25 and registration was open.

Student council and activities: Student council members visited to present a thank-you treat to board members. The council advisor said the group has resumed activities and plans to reboot the elementary science fair and hold a short elementary musical, combining them into a possible “science and arts night” in April.

Athletics recognition: High school staff and board members noted three students who reached the 1,000-career-point milestone: Delilah Nazzi, Jensen Shuey and Kay Slitky. Board members congratulated the students and highlighted the strength of the district’s music and athletics programs.

Ending: The board thanked student representatives and staff; the meeting proceeded to the business agenda after the recognitions and presentations.
