ReplyDelete*Students are in the process of writing letters to members of the military. The letters will sent out for Christmas.
*All classes are in the process of collecting non perishable food to donate to families in need.
Action steps left to take:
1.Organize student visits to the Rehab/Senior Center.
2.Continue emphasizing Character goals throughout the day.
Our parent choice goal was 80% parent attendance on average at our monthly parent nights -- we have NOT met this goal. We plan on continuing to promote monthly events through various media outlets.Our Chick-Fil-A Spirit Night came close to our goal, bringing us $210 which tells us our families spent about $1,100.
ReplyDeleteOur economic sustainability goal was an enrollment of 250 students by 11/1. We met this goal. Our new goal is 265 students by 5/2016. We will meet this goal by continuing to promote our school through Friday Fest, community events, and social media.
Our school development goal is a 50% increase in the number of Facebook likes on our page. We have NOT met this goal. We are up to 213 Facebook likes as of today. However, our weekly engagement the week of 10/30, the week of career day and red ribbon week, grew over 1,000%!!! This shows us we need to be diligent about sharing student photos and tagging other community events on our page.
