RE: Yale Elementary Board Report
1) School Improvement Plan
Teachers have just completed collecting current growth data to accurately report progress to families. Communication via talking points with families keeps them informed of their students' growth, which will ensure that the data reported on report cards doesn’t come as a surprise to families.
2) Recognition
Three days per week, Shae Lindsay drives up to Yale to teach PE, Library, and Art. This allows our teachers to have a planning period and our students to receive the specialist instruction that students down river receive. Shae does a wonderful job of building relationships with our students and staff as well as planning engaging lessons at multiple grade levels. We are thankful for the work she does with our students.
3) Upcoming Events
The Yale Parent Teacher Organization hosted a movie night (The Grinch) in our gym last weekend and are preparing for their annual Holiday Bazaar this upcoming weekend. Our PBIS incentive program includes students earning cougar tickets which translates into play money to spend at our student store a few times per year. Students are excited to shop next week. In addition we hold a monthly drawing of cougar tickets and reward 5 students with lunch with the principal that is donated by Burgerville. This months lunch is on December 20th.
