Secondary Principal Blake Dickinson Homecoming - This month’s major event was Homecoming! Our students and teachers had a blast celebrating through multiple events throughout the week. The secondary painted windows downtown and at the school building, supported the elementary color run, competed in powderpuff football and powder buff volleyball before the bonfire, participated in dress up days, boosted our school spirit at the pep rally, enjoyed a big win on Friday night, and capped it off with the dance on Saturday! Professional Growth Plans - Teachers have submitted their PGPs, which range from tackling unique passion projects to strengthening pedagogy and content knowledge through book studies. Within these plans, teachers have established goals and a timeline for their progress. Baylee Thompson and Mr. Dickinson split them into groups with similar goals to support one another's work. This will be the primary focus of our professional development days this year. Top Cat - We selected our Top Cats for the month of September. These students were nominated by teachers or peers for exhibiting the trait of empathy. October’s trait is self-direct. These traits are taken from the Capturing Kids’ Hearts list of character traits, and the secondary is in the process of developing additional ways to implement them daily at school. 7th Grade - Finley Koenig, 8th Grade - Landon Thayer, 9th Grade - Myah Archibald 10th Grade - Kendyll Knauss, 11th Grade - Noah Archibald, 12th Grade - Bridgette Sieck Building Goals - Our BLT has set two building goals for the upcoming year. These goals stemmed from previous years’ data and the knowledge we are receiving from our book study over the Four Disciplines of Execution. In an effort to keep our efforts focused on our most important goals, the team has identified just two goals. However, they are open to adding more as new needs arise. Our staff then worked on identifying lead measures - or intermediate goals that will help keep us on track toward the greater building goals. Building Goal #1 -Behavior/Culture (CKH) 2024-2025: By the end of the 2024-2025 school year, each student will have at least one adult they have a connection with and who they believe cares about them. Building Goal #2 - Academic 2024-2025: The amount of junior high students passing all classes will increase from 72% to 90% by the end of the 2024-2025 school year. Extracurricular Activities • Landon Thayer and Allysen Johnsen and Jordyn Robbins have all claimed individual cross-country victories • Ava Sloan was selected as KDSN’s athlete of the week • Our girls quiz bowl team finished second in their first competition • The set design is coming together, and rehearsals are well underway for the upcoming play, Clue. Early Graduation • Two senior students, Kylee Fogelman and Carter Ewing, have requested early graduation and have met the requirements to do so. Their request letters are attached. Superintendent Jacob Hedger Community Engagement Meetings- • October 28th and 29th at 6:00 • Share our vision, mission, goals, and data from the climate and culture survey Hall of Fame - • Great event and lots of positives. • Alumni group met and discussed enhancements for next year. • Excited about the future of this organization. IASB Convention - Reminder • November 20-22 in Des Moines • Let Daniel or I know if you would like to attend School Safety - • Key fobs have been activated and delivered to staff • Staff are wearing identification badges (Separate colors for visitors and subs) • Key holes will be deadened soon. • Working on School Safety Grant completion.

Verbiage was added to the handbook in order to align with board policy more directly. Principals have been communicating well with parents about the process as it affects families. We continue to work to help students be at school on a regular basis. Staff Brags - Carley Cohn - She works with one of our higher need students and she is absolutely making a difference in that student's life. So patient and supportive on a daily basis. Substitute Teachers - We have used them a lot already this year and are thankful that we have as many as we do. However, we are still in need of some more. Gerry Zaiser - He has been really helping a lot with the cooling tower and electrical switch work. He has also been doing a lot of postponed or delayed work with Dave Small being injured/limited on work. Admin Team - Blake and Jill have really supported the efforts of all of the projects we have happening as well as supporting our teachers and paras in their work. I have also begun working with them to set personal growth goals for the year. It is a lot and they are doing a marvelous job. National Conference Request - Mr. Hedger has been requested to present alongside Jane King at a national conference in Seattle. The presentation will be on the implementation of our school safety practices. The conference is over our mid-winter break. He would like to attend but am unsure if my contract allotment to attend a national conference includes this type of experience.
