Sheldon R‑VIII principal reports enrollment, student wins, PBL Night and upcoming Capitol trip
Summary
Principal Kevin Post told the board the district has 201 students enrolled, highlighted seven students interviewing for LCTC programs, a successful PBL Night themed on National Parks, mobile dental services, recent contest results and a March 31 Capitol trip; proposed updates to arrival/lunch procedures and the student handbook were also noted.
Principal Kevin Post presented the written principal’s report and summarized enrollment and recent student activities. The district’s current enrollment was listed as 201 students overall (elementary 113; high school 88) with attendance rates reported at roughly 93.7% districtwide.
Post noted seven students recently interviewed for programs at the Lamar Career and Technical Center (LCTC); placement notifications were expected by the end of the week or the week after spring break. He described Project‑Based Learning Night for grades 3–6, whose theme was a tour of America’s National Parks, and thanked families for attending.
The report recorded a mobile dental unit visit coordinated by Nurse Patty to serve students with limited access to dental care. The report also listed winners from a March 4 spelling bee (Bristyn Rayburn, 2nd; Raelynn Snowden, 3rd) and detailed Sheldon’s strong showing at Math Relays, including multiple individual placings and an overall team victory that returned the traveling trophy to Sheldon.
Other items included Mass Band participation on March 10 (Mrs. Patrick reported students performed well), the upcoming Capitol trip on March 31 with travel by train, and additional calendar events through mid‑April. Post said the district has been reviewing morning arrival and lunch procedures with staff and BIST support to increase consistency; he will seek board approval for minor student handbook and discipline‑matrix changes to align with those adjustments. The minutes attach the full procedural outline separately.
