II. QUALITY IN ACTION

II.A. On Monday evening, Secondary Principal Chuck Ochocki will provide an update regarding our 6th grade transition.  The 2015-16 school year featured the conclusion of our secondary construction project which allowed 6th graders from both elementary buildings to transfer into the new 6th grade center which is located next to the 7th and 8th grade portion of the building.

This year was the first opportunity our 6th grade students have to experience content specialist teachers with math, English, science, and humanities as well as many new elective offerings.  We will highlight many of the things that worked well this year along with some of the challenges that we experienced.
