School Partnerships
Wichita State Tech -partnered with Gateway for NC3 certification. Toured high school and 4k-8 to experience KTEC. Ambassadors were able to join virtually (school was not open due to weather). Dual credits were of interest to the visitors.
Siena Catholic School and Dr. Sue Savaglio-Jarvis visited. Student leaders were present and represented the school well.
Boys and Girls Club - working on figuring out a partnership. Perhaps mini-courses or camps would be a good fit. Work force development is needed in the community. KTEC HS is seen as a leader with those we are working with.
Guam Community College - two people came to visit. Military is relocating from Japan to Guam. There is a growing US presence there. High school graduates in Guam graduate with a 3rd grade reading level.
B.
Behavior Updates
Behavior has improved since Winter Break.
From Ambassadors: Students feel more comfortable. Everyone feels that students are seen and heard. Leadership qualities are transferring to other students. Work is getting done. They are pulling each other up. There are shifts in maturity.
Support plans being set up with parents of students that need help.
Positive behavior events are planned each quarter (ie a dance) and are motivating students. 38 of 60 students attended. The DJ even comment on how awesome the dance turned out; it was one of the best dances they've been part of.
