Summer School Dates
We've been working every year to get these dates out as early as possible so parents can plan their summers accordingly. Here are the summer school dates and some instructions:
2014 High School Summer School will take place at Washington HS on the following dates:
Session I June 12 - July 2, 2014
Session II July 7 - July 25, 2014
More information will be posted on the SBCSC website, and will be sent to students and parents by the school counselors. Registration will take place at the same time the students are completing their schedules for next school year. Adjustments will be made at the end of the semester if a student fails a class that can be retaken in summer school.
Board Reorganization
The Board voted on officers last week at the annual organization meeting. With unanimous votes, Michelle Engel will continue to serve as President, I will serve as Vice President, and Dawn Jones will serve as Secretary of the Board. I will continue to chair the SBCSC Safety Committee, and act as liaison to the Indiana School Board Association where I serve as a legislative liaison for ISBA for our region. I am glad to also continue to represent the Board on the South Bend Education Foundation Board.
SBCSC Strategic Plan
Have you read the SBCSC strategic plan, "Choosing to be Exceptional," yet? I am very proud of this board accomplishment that came together under the guidance of consultant Sharon Cox, Dr. Schmidt, and an excellent committee from the community and corporation. The Board approved this plan in late fall, and we will be working on a website "Dashboard" to track our progress toward our six goals:
- Prepare every student for post-secondary success
- Provide effective instructional programming for diverse learners
- Support and develop high quality, high performing staff
- Provide essential, high quality services to support the educational success of students
- Strengthen and enhance productive partnerships with parents and other stakeholders
- Integrate culturally responsive, multicultural and multilingual best practices
