Reorganization Steering Committee

At the second Reorganization meeting on April 13, 2010, Cheryl Jensen-Gerner distributed the packets containing the school design options. The three organizational options included: 1. Grade level model, 2. Multi-grade design 3. a combination model of Kindergarten all together and Multi grades for Grade One and Grade Two.



The teachers on the committee felt that collegiality, the extension of curriculum beyond the classroom, placement and the social needs of the children would be best served within the same peer framework. One parent surveyed some children and felt that the children would have a nurturing and safe environment with their peer age models. A parent and a teacher supported the Kindergarten/Multi-age model. One administrator spoke about the Multi-age model. Following an in-depth discussion and a question and answer period, the committee moved to determine and prioritize the next tasks to be implemented. Subgroups were assigned to study the future needs of the reorganization.



Subcommittees were formulated:

1. Communication/Media

2. Calendar and Celebrations

3. Facilities- Group 1

4. Facilities -Group 2
