Kelloggsville reports strong summer school credit recovery and successful online registration
Summary
Director of Instruction Chad Morrow reported that the district's summer programs recovered 105 high‑school credits with 91% of participants earning at least one credit; registration efforts showed roughly 1,000 families registered online and about 330 families attended in‑person Rocket Registration sessions.
Chad Morrow, Kelloggsville Public Schools director of instruction, reported the district's summer school and registration efforts produced positive results at the board meeting.
At the high school level, Morrow said 91% of participating students earned at least one credit, resulting in a total of 105 credits recovered. At the 54th Street program, 80% of participating students earned at least one credit. Middle school instruction was offered in math, ELA and social studies: Morrow reported 100% of 6th graders earned a credit, 55% of 7th graders and 77% of 8th graders earned at least one credit. Elementary summer enrollment was 153 with an average daily attendance rate of 85%.
"Overall, all of the programs showed successful results for this summer’s programs," Morrow said, and staff will explore incentive strategies to increase middle school attendance in future sessions.
Morrow also summarized the district's second year of online "Rocket Registration," held July 30–31. Staff support included 15 KPS volunteers and six translators; about 1,000 families completed registration online in advance and an additional 330 families attended the scheduled in‑person sessions. The district is actively reaching out to families who have not yet completed registration.
Procedural business at the meeting included approval of Consent Agenda items 25‑06 (approval of Regular Meeting Minutes from July 21, 2025) and 25‑07 (personnel report). The minutes record the motion as moved by Mrs. Reidzans and seconded by Ms. Townsend; the vote is listed as Yeas: 6, Nays: 0 and 'MOTION CARRIED.' The meeting roll call earlier in the minutes lists Mrs. Reidzans as absent; the minutes do not reconcile that attendance notation with the recorded mover for the consent motion.
Superintendent James Alston closed the information items by thanking attendees for patience with construction and saying the parking lot would be completed by the first day of school. The meeting adjourned at 6:15 p.m.
