Superintendent praises DICOM immersive‑reality kickoff, STEM growth and student honors; board records voice 'Aye' on curriculum item
Summary
The superintendent highlighted a DICOM immersive‑reality kickoff with regional partnership plans, recognized athletics and arts achievements, announced kindergarten registration nights, and the board took a voice vote approving a curriculum item ('Curriculum d.').
The superintendent reported several district highlights and initiatives, including a DICOM immersive‑reality kickoff the district described as transformative, plans to build a regional cohort with Chatham University and Ziacom, and multiple student recognitions across athletics, STEM and the performing arts.
"To see the kids be so excited...it's gonna have a lasting impact," the superintendent said of the DICOM event, and added a goal: "I wanna make sure we have a cohort that meets regularly to talk about how we're using it and talk about how to stay on the front lines of things like creating content and not just being consumers." He identified building-level leads (Mrs. Malone, Mrs. Carlson and Mrs. Wicker) to help acclimate teachers to the new learning space.
The superintendent also congratulated the boys bowling team (sixth place at the WPIDL team championship; Jacob Bingham named MVP) and noted that team members Bryce Slutsky and Don Grundo will join Bingham in the singles tournament on Feb. 28. He praised the robotics team's state‑level competition on March 3 and singled out students who represented the district at the Pittsburgh Youth Philharmonic Orchestra Bandfest.
Officials announced two kindergarten registration "pause nights" for incoming families on Wednesday, March 12 (5:30–7:30 p.m.) and Wednesday, April 12. The superintendent encouraged families to attend and meet teachers and principals.
After the superintendent's report, the meeting returned to the presiding officer and the body considered an item listed as "Curriculum d." A voice vote was taken; those present responded "Aye." No opposing votes or abstentions are recorded in the transcript.
