I also thank the District and County office staff and the District and County Board for their extra work during this transition period. I am very excited about the future because of the amazing students, staff, Board, parents and community who support the children and youth of Alpine County.
Additionally, we will be posting the LCAP draft to our website by the end of this week and will appreciate everyone who takes time to read it and provide feedback." |

The final assembly went well. We presented the new Soaring Hawk award which is given to students who consistently exemplified Hawk behavior all year with zero referrals. Fifteen students qualified and were able to draw from the PBIS rewards box. This reward system is aligned with our PBIS goals. We are moving away from the perfect attendance awards and as we push towards a focus on behavior next year. The plan is to have this award presented quarterly in 2019-20. Mrs. Moore is excited to report that the end of the year BBQ and Bike-a-thon were very successful. Chuck Brothers shared that this was the first time there were no falls or accidents. Mrs. Moore shared that eleven bikes were donated for students who did not have access to bikes. She also shared that there were only two agencies there for the field activities and she is looking to expand or change that to make it more robust next year.
Mrs. Moore also reported that all teachers have been given teaching and room assignments and that she also met with each instructional staff and HR to go over the changes in report time and assignments. It was a very positive meeting and all look forward to 2019-2020.
Mrs Moore also reported that she is working with Lia Story on textbook inventory and ordering.
Mrs. Moore also reported that six eighth grade students have requested to take Spanish 1 next year as their elective which we are accommodating through Odysseyware.
