Upper Elementary principal highlights student engagement, advisory committee and a B rating
Summary
An Upper Elementary presenter described a new advisory committee, monthly assemblies, data meetings and a B overall school grade (66% of possible points), saying the school is performing above the state average and emphasizing community support for student activities.
An Upper Elementary School representative presented site-level updates to the board, highlighting staff additions, a newly formed advisory committee, and community support.
The presenter described an advisory committee formed midyear with volunteer members from each grade and staff role who meet after school to advise on educational matters, events, student and teacher concerns. The site holds monthly assemblies that now draw strong student enthusiasm and include staff- and student-of-the-month recognitions and other performances. The presenter said the school places emphasis on data meetings and monthly progress monitoring to identify students who may be falling behind and to celebrate small gains. She noted the Oklahoma State Department metrics place the school at a B overall ("students earned 66% of possible points on all indicators") and said the school is above the state average on chronic absenteeism.
The presentation also listed community events and enrichment activities—Readers Theater, planet presentations, field trips, a Lights On for Literacy event, and visits from local performers—and credited community businesses and groups for supporting school fundraisers that purchased a new sound system.
The presenter closed by reiterating the site motto, "every pirate, every day at Upper Elementary," and invited questions; no substantive questions were recorded in the transcript after the presentation (SEG 386–SEG 619).
