The Board of Education held their regularly scheduled May meeting at NBHS school library on May 28,2019.
Principal’s Report by Dr. Bob Falkenstein
Commencement was a huge success!
Students last day of school is Friday, May 31!
Track update: Jordan Bucher will pole vault at the OHSAA State Track Meet on Friday at 1:00 at Jesse Owens Stadium.
Summer MS Intervention Camp and HS Credit Recovery programs are all set and ready to go.
In August we will unveil our STRIPES program at the MS level. This PBIS program is grant funded and will help reinforce positive behavior and academic goals.
Additional adjustments for next year’s handbook:
- Lunch prices will remain the same at $2.95
- Double “A” Opt Outs for exams are determined by that semester’s discipline and no unexcused absences rather than just quarters 2 and 4.
- Class rank was already adjusted 5 years ago. For next year we will add, “In the case of a tie for class rank, the next criteria will be ACT scores.”
- Cell phone penalty #1: remove detention; #2: add detention, #3: change to ISS, not OSS.
Jonelle Semancik, Principal EA Powell Elementary
6th Grade Graduation
6th grade graduation is today starting at 6:30 pm. Although we will miss this group we look forward to great things to come from them.
Summer School
Summer school will run June 3rd-June 20th Monday through Thursday 9am-noon. There are 18 students signed up grades k-3. Research shows that this program will be more effective with smaller groups and early grades. This is why the changes have been made.
Summer Curriculum Work
ELA teachers will be meeting this summer for a day to work on aligning the curriculum and adding rigor as well as depth to our lessons. This comes from the training that they were sent to earlier this year. Den of Ten will be meeting to discuss plans for the upcoming year.
THANK YOU!
I cannot thank you enough for taking a chance on a new principal. It has been a great year and I appreciate all the support you have given. I look forward to many more wonderful years here in North Baltimore.
