Holcomb principals describe career tents, IPS goals and student trips
Summary
Principals reported classroom career-exploration activities for preschool/kindergarten, first-grade trips to the bank and library, and a district goal for students to share IPS data at February parent-teacher conferences.
Principal Amy described a preschool and kindergarten 'career tents' activity that introduced six careers — including mechanic, ice-cream truck driver, astronaut and firefighter — and previewed a 'big truck day' in May. "They're always excited about that," she told the board.
Tyler said the middle-school assembly focused on Individual Plans of Study (IPS) and that teachers will start IPS conversations in homerooms so students can share data at February parent-teacher conferences. He said the fall semester produced strong summative data and staff hope the IPS emphasis will increase family engagement.
Board members acknowledged the programming as part of ongoing college-and-career readiness work and encouraged continued parent engagement around IPS goals and conference preparation.
