Summary
Seaview Academy told the Port Angeles School District board it had 440 students and 187 choice-transfer students as of the presenter’s count; the meeting also included retiree recognition, students-of-the-month awards and a district teaching-and-learning update on PLC/MTSS.
Seaview Academy reported growth in out-of-district enrollment and described program and staffing developments as the Port Angeles School District board met.
Mace, presenting the Seaview report, said the school’s rolling counts have increased: after noting earlier figures, Mace reported an up-to-date total of 440 enrolled students with 187 choice-transfer (out-of-district) students and said the breakout included about 173 secondary and 14 elementary choice transfers. Mace also noted Seaview graduates (37 Seaview diplomas and 75 total if shared students are included) and that this year the program held its first in-person commencement. "We're getting pretty close" to a previously stated goal of about 200 choice-transfer students by spring, Mace said.
At the meeting the board recognized School Retirees Appreciation Week; Laura, president of the Clallam County School Retirees Association, described local volunteer service and the group’s scholarship and book-distribution work: roughly $16,000 in local scholarships and mini-grants this year and about 400 books distributed to early-childhood programs across the county.
The board also honored three Seaview students of the month. Angela Grama, speaking as a teacher and nominator for one student, described Noah Myers (a 10th grader) as “pleasant and charming” and noted his activity balance of school, work and varsity golf. Another nominee was described for strong academic commitment while also pursuing competitive equestrian activities; a third student, Judea, was praised for a positive attitude and consistent work.
The meeting included a broader teaching-and-learning presentation from Miss Croom, who summarized the district’s professional learning community (PLC) work and the multi-tiered support system (MTSS). Croom outlined the district’s four guiding PLC questions—what students should learn, how the district will know they learned it, interventions for students who don’t learn it and extension for students who already know it—and described how pacing guides and common formative assessments support consistent instruction and data-driven interventions across buildings.
Board members asked Mace about outreach methods and how the school accommodates year-round, rolling enrollment; Mace said outreach relies on relationships with sending districts, periodic mailings, a resurgent online presence and word-of-mouth, and offered to provide OSPI counts of statewide online programs. The district said it has recently added office staff to manage front-end enrollment work and is piloting Canvas courses developed by local teachers.
The board closed the Seaview and teaching-and-learning items by thanking staff and encouraging continued community outreach; the district noted graduation set for June 8 and asked the community to attend.
