COLLEGE PREP CERTIFICATES

 

With the new high school graduation requirements now in effect, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is no longer producing College Prep Certificates for dissemination. The new graduation requirements now closely reflect the credit standards that had been required for the certificate and it is the expectation that all students will be college and career ready.

 

Based on this new information from DESE received on 1/14/11, our district will recognize College Prep students this year at graduation with certificates made in house.  We will look into the requirements to see if we will continue to offer this recognition for future years.

 

HOOPS FOR HEART

 

On Wednesday, February 16th nine elementary students participated in the Hoops for Heart event.  These students raised $340 for the American Heart Association to support research dedicated to finding a cure for heart disease.

 

Thank you to Jenny Elsea and McDonalds for donating prizes for each participant, Hy-Vee for the donation of a gift card used to purchase snacks, Mrs. Fisher and Mrs. Grissom for helping out with the event, and Mrs. Kincaid and the Girl Scouts for preparing, serving, and cleaning up the snack.
