AKRON SCHOOL DISTRICT S-CAP SITE VISIT
The Akron School District hosted over 30 site reviewers at the school on Wednesday and Thursday (January 22nd & 23rd). The reviewers were composed of educators from Aguilar, Buena Vista, La Junta, La Veta, Merino, Vilas, and Wiggins. The group was also joined by facilitators from Generation Schools Network and University of Colorado Denver.
This is the Akron School Districts second year in the Student Centered Accountability Program. The program gives school districts an additional level of accountability and provides feedback for continuous improvement. The review process involves collecting multiple points of data that include document review, survey, focus group interviews, and school and classroom observation.
The information gained from the review helps schools identify areas of strength and areas where they can focus their efforts for improvement. We would like to thank our students, parents, and teachers for giving us their time and feedback through surveys and focus group participation. We look forward to the work of making our school the best it can be to serve our students and community.
Mr. Hill’s 2nd grade class said the Pledge and sang the Fight Song this morning.
The 8th graders attended a Career Fair in Holyoke on Wednesday, January 22nd.
