Fewer Students Drop Out

I am pleased with the statistic informing the community of our lower drop out rate. The credit needs to be given to everyone involved with the education of the youth we serve especially the faculty who continue to improve program areas and make the preparation for life after high school more meaningful. In addition, we will continue our quest to further develop relationships with our students, parents, community members and businesses. What do you think our school could do to further improve what we offer?

The teacher in me

Due to a maternity leave and a shortage of math teachers, I find myself in the classroom helping a group of students summarize the semester’s course work and prepare for the final exam.  When students proficiently complete a competency and/or lesson objective, I have allowed them to use some of the math apps on my Ipad. Boy, are they having fun while reinforcing what they know or learning new material.  Let me know what apps you think I should include on my Ipad for my students to use?

Semester coming to an end.

Happy New Year!    May 2012 bring you and your family on a wonderful adventure.

During the next few weeks the students will be busy putting the finishing touches on projects, reviewing the semester’s course work, and taking final exams on the 19^th and 20^th. These activities will help us to meet our school’s mission to help our students acquire knowledge and prepare them to become healthy, active and productive citizens when they no longer attend Fall Mountain.
