Summary

Superintendent Brenda Donahue reported 485 students registered K–8 (down 30 from last year) and said slow registration ‘‘might be forcing us to reconsider a registration day’’ where parents complete paperwork onsite; the district plans outreach and data team work in mid‑September.

Superintendent Brenda Donahue told trustees that K–8 registration stood at 485 students as of the meeting, which she said is 30 fewer than at the same point last year. Donahue said slow registration numbers "might be forcing us to reconsider a registration day where parents are in the building during a designated time to complete registration with our assistance."

Administrators also described early‑week preK screenings and the start of Fall STAR 360 testing for grades 1–8; the district expects to move into data team meetings in mid‑September to review early assessment results and enrollment trends. The principal noted class sizes (largest: 60 in first grade; smallest: 48 in eighth grade) and described outreach efforts tied to curriculum night and backpack events.
