Principal’s Report

·       Mr. Bollmann stated that there are 23 new hires this year.  This includes 18 teachers, 3 administrators and 2 Education Support people.

·       There was some remodeling work done over the summer in the office and atrium areas.  Also there were some upgrades added to the IMC.  There is now a room in the IMC dedicated to tutoring.  This room is staffed all day with teachers and teacher’s assistants, and they are working on having it staffed before and after school.  There is also now a conference room in the IMC.

·       Open House will be at 6:30 (6:00 for seniors) on Sept. 4.

·       There are 2 new, digitally converted classrooms with laptops for use by different classes. 

·       Online registration went well overall.

·       Parent-teacher conferences will be on October 26.

·       The first day assembly was cancelled and instead they had class meetings.

·       There will be a new evaluation system this year for teachers as well as principals.

·       The third floor must be cleared as directed by the Fire Marshall.

·       Graduation will be on May 18.  It had to be moved earlier than normal due to availability at the Coliseum.  Since it is so early, there will not be Baccalaureate this year.  We could instead look into having a speaker at the Senior Breakfast or at Graduation practice day.

·       There will not be Powder Puff this year.  Instead, they will be doing an Olympic type competition between the classes.  This will be athletic as well as academic, etc.  This will probably be on the early release day (Oct 5).
