Summary

The Whitehall School District elementary report said enrollment is 196, teachers and paraprofessionals are settling in, MAP testing (including early literacy) is underway, and a new Trojan Advisory group of student representatives will meet weekly to surface student feedback.

The Elementary Principal reported that elementary enrollment stands at 196 and that the district has successfully filled most classroom positions for the start of the year. "Elementary enrollment is at 196," the presenter said, adding that new teachers and paraprofessionals are "melding into the situation very well."

The principal described plans to MAP-test the early literacy class to gather baseline data and to familiarize young students with testing procedures before kindergarten. The report also highlighted a new Trojan Advisory, a student representative group drawn from each classroom (six from the 3–5 class and six from K–2) that will rotate two-week terms to share student observations. The principal said the advisory meets weekly for lunch and that its feedback will be used to inform small changes and celebrate successes. The elementary speaker encouraged the public to view a newly published teacher bio page on the district website and noted strong summer facilities work that left classrooms "magical" for the start of school.
