West Valley plans May 1 kindergarten registration roundup, creates middle‑school MTSS coach
Summary
The principal told the board the district will hold a May 1 kindergarten registration roundup (early release) to prompt earlier enrollment and allow families to select assessment dates; the board was also told a new middle‑school MTSS instructional coach position will be filled and the February AD count was 798 students.
The principal updated trustees on efforts to tighten staffing planning by encouraging earlier kindergarten registration. She said the district will hold a kindergarten registration roundup on May 1 with early release so incoming families can register, hear a presentation about kindergarten, meet teachers, complete a readiness survey and—if registered—choose assessment dates for the fall.
The principal described a weeklong “munch and mingle” lunch series to invite families and said the registration event will include a photo booth and mascot to encourage participation and social media sharing. The stated goal is to generate earlier registration so the district can set teacher placements and class sizes before August.
Separately, the superintendent reported the district is creating a middle‑school MTSS instructional coach AD position and expects to present a candidate at the March board meeting. He also provided the February average daily count: 798 students, which the district said typically fluctuates between about 795 and 805 and will be used in funding formulas.
The board approved the HR personnel report in which the district recorded the resignation of a first‑grade teacher, Lindsay Bird, who will finish the year; the superintendent said the district will not replace that position and will use the funds toward the new instructional coach position.
