  29. Principal Comments This month’s focus has certainly centered around preparation and logistics concerning both reading and math MCA’s. Creating a 2nd lab for math begins next week. BLT created personal notes from every staff member to students testing as encouragement and principal visited each classroom to talk about perseverance and alleviate anxiety that MCA’s tend to create. Has been fun to see more student writing and guided writing lessons in classroom observations and through student work on walls within the building. Technology issues are preventing some of the ITV planning for us to host instructors from the Cowles center for Latin and Eastern Dance. Great opportunity we hope not to miss. Teachers are very excited at Sibley about the opportunity for the new Science curriculum. The presentation done on our last EO was very well supported. This needs to happen.

  44. Technology Building Goal:

  45. Principal Comments Plans are progressing for the transition of the eighth graders to Albert Lea High School next year. A focus has been placed on introducing eighth graders to the integration of technology in our classrooms, and teaching students effective study skills. We have created a “house concept” in our building where eighth and ninth graders will go to take their core subjects of math, science, social studies and English. Students in grades 10-12 will have their own house where they will receive instruction in the core subjects. ALHS is looking at implementing transitional programs for all students that will focus on making them feel welcomed in our school. For 8th and 9th graders this will include a program titled Link Crew. A proposal is being considered to have a daily 15 minute advisory period for grades 8 to 12, with an emphasis on building relationships and connections with students.  Students who feel connected to school, and or staff, are more likely to participate in school based activities, have consistent attendance and have higher academic achievement.
