Mr. Stendeback: Transportation Report was given to the board. Aaron Hottel has completed both Bus written and driving tests. Transportation has been busy with Field Trips and Sports. HS Baseball/Softball Regionals first of June. High School Track is under way and doing well. The Sports Banquet that will cover both last year and this year's sports will be June 11 at 6pm. Still waiting for completion of the outdoor court. Installing has been difficult with the ever changing weather. Looking into the next school year, there will be several coaching positions open. Certified and Non-Certified staff are being asked to apply if interested in a position.
Mrs. Harrelson: Thank you to Jennifer Neal who coordinated our Staff Appreciation Week. Wabash General Hospital donated Hygiene Packs for the students. The school board association’s joint annual conference in Chicago was offered to board members who should let Mrs. Harrelson know if interested in attending. Summer school is being offered to elementary students from June 1-30. Some students must attend and make adequate academic gains in order to advance to the next grade level. High school students are being offered credit recovery options. ISBE has released new guidelines. With these guidelines, the Fall School Year will be a full day of in person learning with the mask policy still in place. Our Junior High will be receiving both incoming 6th and 7th graders for the 2021-2022 school year. Graduation Ceremonies were a success and now wrapping up the school year with a High School Fun Day at Westwood, May 21. Seniors are welcomed to come out. Dual/Weighted Courses listed in the Student Handbook will need to be looked at. Some juniors and seniors are taking classes that are not listed in the handbook that need to be added because of the level of difficulty of the courses. Mrs. Harrelson will try alternating days between Grayville and New Hope throughout the summer rather than ½ day in each district.
