The next schedule meeting of the board of directors is set for July 22nd, 2025, beginning at 7:30 in this room. Student recognitions. We don't have any students here this evening, but I guess we can have Mrs. Ner and Mr. Carnu talk a little bit about things that have been happening and did happen uh in
003both of our buildings. I'll ask Mrs. Ner to go first. Y um I just wanted to start by um saying thank you to the high school staff, elementary staff, Todd and Tony for getting the kindergarteners and the seniors together off the videos that we did um with them. You know, they kind of went through and then they came out as seniors. Um and that was really really cute. It was it was very trying to get them all together to do it. Um but it was really really um nice in the end. And then we went down to the football field um and they came together um and they each exchanged little notes with each other um which was really cool because they were like super excited. Even the older kids were super excited to get
004little notes from the kindergarten kids. Uh so thank you to everybody uh for that. Our graduation for kindergarten was successful. Just wanted to say thank you to all my kindergarten teachers, my support staff, um our AV staff um and the students for all their help with the decorating and the for that. Um and then at the end of the year we also had our daddy daughter dance which was also a very huge success. I wanted to thank um my student council advisors who advised with me uh Jen Stashack and Jess Wolf Gang um and our student council members. Um and I also wanted to thank Sher Michael. She did a great job. We did like a walking taco um buffet. Um and we had like little miniature sandwiches and cookies and treats. But um they
005really loved uh the dance. Uh the little girls were just all dressed up. It was so cute. Um we have our summer themes program happening right now for four weeks. Um it started this week. Um they do hands-on learning, arts and crafts, uh physical fitness, outdoor activities. They have special guests who come um into August, we have um we're going to do our kindergarten readiness again where we bring in the kindergarten uh students. They can meet their teacher. Um they can tour the building, learn about their classroom, the routines. Um we even bring a bus so they can kind of get on and off of a bus uh just to see, you know, what that's like and be in the building without the traffic of all the other kids. And then we're going to continue
006on the staggered start for kindergarten. So on our first day of school, we'll have four kindergarten classes go. Second day, the other four go. So their their teachers can cooperate um with each other. Um and then on that third day of school, we bring all the kindergarten classes in. And this will be our third year doing it and it's been working out um really great. I have all my meet the teacher dates locked in for August. Um other items, I mean, I'm starting to get our schedules ready. Our custodians have been working uh really hard get things um cleaned up for the upcoming school year. We almost have a couple wings that might be done being cleaned already. Um and just some future things that are going to be happening into next school year. Um
007we are keeping the a lab. We already booked that for September. Um and PTA is actually um getting us an educational BMX um bike presentation um that we'll hold outdoors that I think will be really exciting for the kids. Um and we hope to have tribal tour guides, uh, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade kids who we have on standby when we get new kids, um, that they can kind of buddy them around, um, and get them to the places they need to go, um, on the first day of school. Okay. Thank you, Mrs. Mr. Carnuchio. Okay, so um, the month of May is like a blur in high school. Um, we have probably 50,000 things going on, and I feel still feel like it's Easter, but anyway, here we go. So, first thing I want
008to do is thank all our staff, our teachers, our aids, our janitors, custodians, secretaries, cafeteria worker, security. Um, it was a great year and we couldn't do it without everyone's help. Um, so thank you. I said this at our last faculty meeting. Um, I had a daughter graduate. A little emotional for me. Um, but I thank them. Said that, you know, she's going on to a very successful school because of them because it takes a village to raise a child and and our teachers are part of that village that helped raise my daughter. and I was very appreciative of what they have done for her over the years as well as our cap as well as everybody. Um, so I thank them and I want to thank them again publicly here. Um, we have an
009awesome staff all the way around and we don't get enough credit. We get knocked down a lot but they are awesome and I challenge anyone to come in our school and see the great things that we do with kids. So, thank you to everybody again, teachers, aids, janitors, secretaries, cafeteria, security, anyone I missed, I apologize. Um, moving on, we had a very successful prom May 9th. Um, kids did awesome. They were very polite, respectful. Nutrition Inc. catered again, Sherry, thank you. They did an awesome job as well. We had a more dance for our middle school students. Um, May 31st and that went off pretty successful as well. Kids look very nice. We had AP testing took place in the month of May as well as Keystone testing. Um, successful awards program. We had many
01060 students, I believe, that walked out of the auditorium with some form of um, money, whether it be scholarship money for school or just cash. But again, 60 students is awesome. After summer school, we're guessing it's going to be about 178 total that will graduate this in this class of 2025. Um, we still have a couple stragglers that are there finish up summer school, but right around 178 we're thinking. We are in summer school that started Monday. I think we have uh I think 18 students are enrolled in summer school right now. I could I'm sure I'm wrong on that number, but that's the last time I checked. um our back to school nights. We didn't get an official date yet. It's the usually that week of August 11th to the 14th. Uh we actually
011haven't got a chance to really talk about Todd and I because of just everything that's been going on and it's just been like I said a blur the whole month of May. So we do know it's that week. Um we'll get that out as soon as we possibly can um when it will be. And last thing is just getting ready for next school year scheduling, master schedule, student schedules. Um we started look at that. Our guidance counselors will be back next week and we can sit down more and get that rolling. So, thank you again to everybody in the high school that did an awesome job this year. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Cronio. Okay, citizens comments. We got no citizens here, so we're going to work session agenda. I just want to make a couple
012comments about just to echo Mrs. Ner, Mr. Carno, we had a very good end of the school year. I had the honor to be at kindergarten graduation and high school graduation. Um, we really had a good school year all around. Um, and I want to thank the board for the support that you give to the staff and the teachers for the resources and the programs that they're able to provide for students and also um our faculty and staff, like Mr. Carnu says, it takes everybody to to get the job done. Uh, our administrators, they put a lot of time in, especially in the month of May at both levels. Uh, we're already getting ready for next school year. Um, just a lot of good things happening. I'm anxiously awaiting our AP scores, which will come
013back probably in a few weeks. Kids did awesome last year on the advanced placement test. Prom was a success. We had lots of good things going on in our music department. This year, past year, our athletic programs this past year. Kids at the CTC did very well. We started a co-op program at the high school level, which was a success.
