Easton Anderson, the board’s student representative and an eleventh grader, updated the board on student activities, upcoming events and athletics.

Easton said student council ran a candy drive, is hosting a trunk-or-treat on Oct. 26, and noted the fall musical (Frozen) with show dates beginning Nov. 20. He also highlighted athletics: girls soccer in a section championship, the final home football game before playoffs, volleyball schedules and upcoming winter sports sign-ups.

Elementary and middle-school administrators reported on conferences, field trips and programs. New Heights held field trips and a book fair during conferences; preschool leaders said the district will align preschool conferences and assessments more closely with K–5 next year and that the after-school program (After Wave) is at capacity with 60 students daily. Middle school reported CAPT testing in response to MCA/STAR indicators, a community powwow on Oct. 25, and the start of middle school robotics and related parent meetings.

Nut graf: Administrators used the reports to remind families of conference times, picture retake dates and community events; the student rep offered to bring student concerns to the board when appropriate.

Board members thanked Easton for the updates; staff said parents can obtain individual score reports for state and local assessments via school offices.
