Stanfield SD 61 celebrates athletics and student participation progress
Summary
Board members highlighted strong performances in tennis and upcoming district track events, and staff shared student participation tracking that shows dips in middle grades and high participation among seniors.
Marina and others reported positive results from district athletics: strong showings at district tennis and anticipation for a good showing at the upcoming district track meet. Staff noted individual student-longitude examples — students with long participation histories — and said participation tracking shows a decline through middle grades with increases again in later grades.
Board members praised student engagement at a recent sixth‑grade assembly and cited small‑school benefits, such as older students supporting younger peers. The district will continue tracking participation to identify opportunities to reengage students in the grades that show declines.
