I hope this is not the “New Normal”: Everywhere you go there are shortage of workers. Public schools are no different. The teacher shortage is very real and very challenging. We are dealing with those shortages as best we can. Coaching is another place where there are shortages. We have several openings listed below. Finding help with running extra-curricular activities is another issue. For the first time since I can remember we were unable to get enough help to run a junior high track meet this year. Other schools are having the same issues with getting help. Several schools who normally host a track meet could not get volunteers to work therefore the number of track meets has dwindled. Whether it is sports at school, AAU sports, 4H, or the county fair: parents who want their kids to have the same opportunities they had need to step up! We get closer and closer all the time to cancelling more events due to the lack of help running those events. If there is anything you can do to help please contact the office. We are already planning for next year and will need help with tickets, line judging, score books, score clocks, shot clocks, etc. Forfeiting games or cancelling games are becoming more of a reality without help from parents and community.

Safety Survey: In the past year the Board of Trustees has made improvements with safety at school. They have increased physical features around campus and been discussing ways to help on other ways too. A survey went out at the beginning of this week and again this morning, requesting ideas and thoughts from parents/community members/staff. It is a short survey and the more peopled who participate in it the better the trustees will know how our community feels about safety issues at school. Please take the time to complete the survey. If you have already completed the survey we really appreciate it. If you missed the email the survey is available on the school website on the lower left hand part of your screen. If you have questions please contact the office at 644-2206.
