Summary
A Timberlane teacher described a career expo during school block 3, an after‑school SAT prep course with roughly 40 students enrolled, and mental‑health and wellness activities the week before April vacation; board members discussed incentives and family outreach to increase participation.
At Tuesday's Timberlane Regional School District meeting, a staff presenter (identified in the transcript as Miss Fuller) described upcoming student events and programming designed to raise awareness of career options and improve test preparedness.
Fuller asked the community to publicize a Project Hope 'Strut for a Cure' fashion show (Saturday at 6 p.m.) and outlined weeklong mental‑health activities, wellness fairs and sports events. She said the district will host a career expo during block 3 (10:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m.) to expose students to a broad range of careers; Fuller emphasized the event is intended to inspire students, not serve as a recruitment fair.
On SAT prep, Fuller said a teacher‑led after‑school course meets twice weekly and that "roughly 40 students" had signed up, prompting the program to move to a larger classroom. Fuller said the sessions teach both content and test‑taking strategy. Board members asked whether fatigue and test‑day strategies were covered; Fuller said she would raise that topic with the staff member leading the course. Several board members suggested incentives and parent outreach to encourage participation.
Board members and administrators also described a stretch goal framed as aggregated point growth from PSAT to SAT and discussed making PSAT scores available to students and families; administrators said they are investigating uploading scores to the PowerSchool portal so parents can access them.
Fuller closed by encouraging community support for the programs and inviting board members to attend events. The district will provide follow‑up details via flyers and its usual communications channels.
