Principal Report Out

Student- RW joining meeting- been at Lumen since year 1, has a two year old. transferred from Rogers, likes the opportunities she has at Lumen. Learning is life based. Works at Wendy's too afterschool and on the weekends. IS planning to go to SFCC next year. Did the slingshot program last quarter, very responsible, leadership is a quality we see in her at Lumen.

One change for next year would be to have more staffing for a variety of courses.

Add more group work and more ideas to do with your children. Students supporting students more - staff could facilitate more activities to help with students supporting students.  I wish I could learn more about what resources are out in the world to support teen parents. 

 

Mrs. Petty update - 

Seniors - 13 Seniors - regularly tracking their progress.  4 on track - their are few that are behind (many interventions happening daily) 

Discussion around GED or 5th year graduate 

Working with State Board on structure 

New Science Teacher - very intense hiring process - students feel ownership in the process and long term sub is on board.  Great fit for the school 

State Testing has been happening at Lumen.

Discuss Summer school - purchased an online platform - Slingshot option
