Looking Ahead to the 2010 – 2011 School Year
It seems early to start talking about the upcoming 2010-2011 school year, but it is just around the corner. There will be a number of changes that will occur within the school district next year. One of the biggest changes will be the new principal at the Intermediate/Middle School. Mr. Kerry Smith is retiring at the end of this school year. The school district has hired Mr. Scott Gion as his replacement. Mr. Gion is currently the middle school principal in Big Piney, Wyoming. Mr. Gion is married and has three children. Two of his children are out of high school and his daughter will be a 7th grader next school year. We are very excited about being able to hire such a talented educational leader and look forward to the many new things that Mr. Gion will bring to our school district. We are currently in the interview process of hiring new teachers for next fall. We are very excited about the larger number of qualified applicants we have for our current teaching openings. Over the course of the summer we will be doing some construction projects as well. As you know, we will be demolishing the northern portion of the old elementary school and turning the ownership of the remaining building and property over to the Glenrock Community Recreation District. We will be replacing the boilers at the high school along with replacing the roof on the northern portion of the building. We will also be replacing the glass hallways that are next to the gym at the intermediate/middle school with new high energy efficient windows. Along with new staff and construction projects we are implementing a new educational tool called MAP. MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) will be used to test students in grades K-9 in Reading, Writing and Math. The purpose behind the MAP testing is this assessment will provide valuable data on each individual student. MAP is an individual growth model assessment. Through these assessments, teachers will gain valuable information on ways to differentiate instruction for each student. The monitoring of each student’s learning and the data we collect will be shared with students and parents.
