Monroe SD 1J staff review testing, early-learning events and summer program plans
Summary
Administrators reported completion of state testing, described early-learning outreach (kinder story night, kindergarten-for-a-day) funded by a KPI/early-learning hub grant, and previewed a summer learning program tied to Art in the Park with transportation and meals; about 15 students had signed up at the time of the meeting.
District administration provided a broad end-of-year and summer update.
Staff reported that state testing finished on time and that internal benchmark assessments (three times a year) will guide instruction next year. Using KPI/early-learning hub grant funds, the district held a "kinder story night" and a "kindergarten for a day" event, with roughly 10 children attending the latter; families received backpacks and materials to support summer learning.
The district plans a summer program tied to the community event Art in the Park: students will be transported to the event and participate in two-hour literacy and math blocks afterward. The program is scheduled for multiple weeks in August, running approximately 08:30–12:30, with meals provided. Staff said about 15 children had signed up so far and that three to four teachers will help run the groups.
Graduation and end-of-year activities were described as successful. The staff member acknowledged the work of Jenna and the team for coordinating assessments and thanked colleagues for finishing testing on schedule.
Ending: Staff asked the board to note the events and staffing plans; no formal board action on these items was recorded in the transcript.
