Elementary principal reports full staffing, MAP testing and new student advisory group
Summary
Elementary principal (Mr. Cohen) told the board enrollment is 196, classrooms are fully staffed, MAP testing is underway including early literacy baseline testing, and the district is piloting a Trojan advisory group to bring student voice into school decisions.
Mr. Cohen, the elementary principal, reported elementary enrollment at 196 and said staffing positions were filled at the start of the year. "Classrooms are a magical space again," he said, praising custodial staff and new hires for creating welcoming learning environments.
He told the board MAP testing should finish by the end of the week or early next week and for the first time the district will MAP-test the early literacy class to establish baseline data. He also described a Trojan advisory group formed by classroom nominations (six students from grades 3–5 and six from K–2) who will meet weekly to share student perspectives that may inform small changes in playgrounds and school life.
