Panther of the Week: No new nominations this week.

On Thursday, December 20th Project Dream is offering a swimming/pizza party for HS students after early dismissal. We will meet in the library right after dismissal at 12:45. Together we will walk over to the pool for pizza and swimming. Students can either get picked up at 3:30pm at the swimming pool or can ride the bus home from Lake County Intermediate School at 3:40pm. Students need to have turned in a Project Dream registration form in order to attend and sign up in the library by Monday, December 17th. Project Dream will cover the cost of swimming and pizza. Please feel free to contact Karen Johnson at kajohnson@lakecountyschools.net or 719-293-5093 if you have any questions or concerns. There will be no Project Dream from 4:00-6:00pm at LCHS on December 20th. However, both LCIS and WPE will run Project Dream like normal on December 20th.

Board of Education Notes from November 13, 2018:
- Our focus this month was on The Center. We learned about the full implementation of The Creative Curriculum. We were excited by the alignment between this curriculum and Expeditionary Learning principles and practices.
- We received an update from Becca Katz and the GOL! programs. Becca showed us a video about the fly fishing class at the high school that demonstrated how GOL! helps our district make engaging and rigorous education a reality.
- We heard an update from Rob Duren at the DOOR program, along with Ben Cairns, about the discussion underway of turning DOOR into a school of its own called Cloud City Alternative.
- We examined the relationship between reading readiness data and scores on state tests. In essence, we learned that reading readiness scores are a very good predictor of how well students will do on CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success). We also learned that to reach our goals, our students need to be “blue”—above benchmark—on their DIBELS (reading readiness assessments).
Coming up on December 11 at 7 PM at Pitts Elementary School in the District’s “New” Board Room, Room 11:
- We will review and vote on approval of the audit. (Postponed until January Regular Meeting)
- We will discuss the masterplan in the hopes of approving it in January.
- We will hear reports from the Student Summits that were organized by student representatives Emma Dallas and Michaela Sanchez.
