Elementary Principal’s Report September 10, 2012
Gardner Foundation I was notified on August 24, 2012 that Pender did not receive the requested grant Applied for it to help offset the cost of the guided reading resources No specific reason for not receiving the grant was given
Guided Reading After being in the classrooms, it is obvious this program is having a positive impact on our classrooms and students All teachers are implementing it similarly yet each have customized it to match their teaching styles After students are benchmarked (Farrington), guided reading groups will be put into place and the LLI program will be put to use This was a REALLY good addition to our elementary curriculum
Reduced Milk Price We were made aware of a piece of the federal lunch program that allows school districts to offer a reduced milk price to students when no meal program is available No meal program is available to afternoon preschool students All other students are able to eat either breakfast and/or lunch Price per semester Everyday - $20 Monday, Wednesday, Friday - $16 Tuesday, Thursday - $13 Normal price - $32.50
