Great Turn out for the Kinder Round Up
We had to wait until all the kids showed up.
The day before Kinder started, we got the green light, set up the classroom and started the next day.
We hired a teacher, Avery Powell.
Can we find out how many kindergarteners are within our school boundaries? (Mark to run a report)
We got a bunch of new 5th graders
Overall we are up at least 10 kids since last year.
1st Grade DLI- We hired a teacher in May. Offered a job at her kids school and left the week before school started. We have hired a new teacher who is now in place, Ana Karen Bauer.
We had a great support network of people willing to help. DLI teachers helped make the lesson plans, and helped Kinder to make plans.
