Highlights since our last board meeting:

Current Enrollment Figures 

• Principal Giacobbe of Village School reports that the 3^rd grade teachers have begun implementing Learnia testing in the computer labs.  Five 3rd grade teachers have implemented Reader's Workshop this year and it is going great!  Grades K-2 are being trained and are administering Running Records with all of their students in order to better meet the needs of the readers in their classes. 
   
• Principal Schillaci of Indian Hill School reports that all continues to run smoothly at Indian Hill.  They would like thank the parents and staff for a great round of Back to School Nights.  It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces and receive such good feedback to start off the year.  They also had a wonderful "Welcome Back" lunch for their staff hosted by the PLG.  The PLG did a great job, and their support is always greatly appreciated.

Progress Towards Meeting District Goals:

 Indian Hill has continued to move forward with all three of their building initiatives.  The Morning Meeting continues to be a priority for their Character Education goal.  They have a good deal of new technology in the building that has been scooped up and put to use for student learning.  They are also continuing their focus on differentiated instruction with Learnia underway to assess the needs of the students early on in the school year.  Additionally, Susan Alston and Principal Schillaci have identified some workshops in December where they will be sending staff out to reinforce differentiated instruction in the areas of reading and writing.

A group of Satz teachers are exploring and implementing greater integration of technology into the routines of the Middle School day.
