Elementary principal praises teachers' work, describes Bluebonnet curriculum and TIA engagement
Summary
The elementary principal thanked the board for pay scale increases, said teachers are working hard with the new Bluebonnet curriculum and teacher incentive allotment (TIA) participation, and described recent family events and small pre‑K enrollment choices.
Miss McDermott opened by thanking the board for staff pay scale increases and said she has "never in all of my years of education ever seen people work as hard as they are this year." She described adoption of the Bluebonnet curriculum and said teachers participating in TIA are deeply engaged — a demanding program that staff are navigating this year.
She highlighted community events: a successful grandparents' week with strong turnout, a Cats Connect intergrade activity that pleased students, and small pre‑K class choices this year. She also briefed the board about a recent transfer student and how classroom responses reflected the child's departure.
