Middle school leaders report improved culture after new cell-phone policy; board hears assessment update
Summary
Vicksburg Middle School administrators reported improved school culture after implementing a new cell-phone policy and reviewed i-Ready assessment trends during the board meeting; administrators also requested approval for the annual out-of-state Cedar Point trip for 8th graders.
Middle school administrators Allison Dygert and Joe Werkema presented the VMS annual report and said the new cell-phone policy has led to noticeably better behavior and culture in the building. Dygert summarized i-Ready assessment patterns (start, mid, end of year comparisons) and answered board questions about progress and interventions.
Dygert requested board approval for the annual 8th-grade trip to Cedar Point because the trip is out-of-state. The board approved the trip unanimously. Administrators did not provide specific cost-per-student figures in the public discussion.
