CEO Report
Current enrollment for this school year is 75 students. Average Daily Attendance (ADA) is currently at 86%, compared to the budgeted goal of 85%. Attendance incentives are ongoing through a “Battle of the Classes” initiative, with the winning class receiving a pizza party.
For the upcoming school year, there are currently 143 applications submitted, exceeding the goal of 121. A total of 54 students are fully enrolled, surpassing the goal of 21. Additionally, 19 families have accepted enrollment offers and are in the process of submitting required documents, contributing to a current Intent to Return (ITR) rate of 99%. Referral incentives are also being considered to further support enrollment efforts.
It was also shared that one of our teachers has been nominated for Regional Teacher of the Year. If selected, they may advance as a candidate for State Teacher of the Year.
There have been no significant changes since the last report, and overall performance remains steady. The school is currently at 100% of its goal and ahead of projections at 86%. Budget tracking remains on target, with a goal of 67%, and the school is currently at 101%, exceeding expectations.
