Project Lead the Way.  We will be approving the course and expenditures associated with training staff for the 2019-20 school year in tonight’s General Business.  This is currently a program used at the Career and Technical Academy and now BV will be recommending this on-site for the 2019-20 school year.

Our School Board committee in addition to our HS Instructors are working through a variety of items in regard to the newest graduation requirements.  We are planning a committee report in the near future.

The December focus of the LYNX-way is “we are safe”.  Watch for a video that our student’s have created.  January’s focus is “we are kind”.  On January 16 – 18, 2019, we have a special presentation on this focus.  Our staff will be focusing on random acts of kindness as well on our in-service day on January 21, 2019.
