Student placement cards:

The committee discussed the need to include information on the placement cards that reflects the “true nature” of the student’s behavior, emotional, social and psychological needs, academic performance, and academic support (i.e. ESS, ESL, off-campus tutoring, parental support).  Special area teachers should have an input on the placement of students in classes next year.

Science textbook adoption:

Books have been distributed to grade levels for evaluation.  Brenda Burton can contact company representatives to give presentations on science textbooks.  Teachers have until May to decide which textbook to adopt for the school.  B. Burton will give the staff an update on the timeline for this year’s textbook adoption procedure.
