Superintendent says Grandparent's Day drew strong turnout; district tests Follett library integration with Skyward
Summary
Superintendent Jones reported a large turnout for Grandparent's Day, previewed Homecoming plans and senior-reader activities, and said Follett successfully tested integration with Skyward to notify parents of library selections.
Superintendent Jones told the board on Sept. 8 that Grandparent's Day at the elementary campus had a great turnout and that Homecoming activities are planned for the following week. He described a senior-reader and greeter program on game-day Fridays where senior students greet younger students and visit classrooms to read and interact.
Jones also reported the district tested Follett software for library management and found it interoperates with Skyward; test notifications were sent to confirm functionality. He said the October board meeting is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 27 and that the board — and possibly Arp ISD trustees — would remain after the regular meeting for required legislative updates and Team of Eight training pending trainer confirmation.
No formal action was taken on these items; they were presented as informational updates to prepare trustees for upcoming events and training.
