Elementary Principal Diane Kramer reported that all state testing was completed May 11. Test results will be available online at the end of June with family reports available the end of July. Summer intervention started Tuesday, June 15, for 60 students entering grades 1-5. Intervention will be provided for 90 a day minutes for 12 days during June and July.
Extended school year services are being provided to four special education students for 12 hours for each student. These services are provided one-on-one with needs determined by the IEP team.
Kramer related how the tight housing situation in the village was affecting enrollment. “During the last couple weeks, I have given multiple school tours to families looking to either move to New Bremen or open enroll. Again, the concern is with the lack of available houses for sale in our district.”
She added that the school year wrapped up with a grades K-6 awards assembly and sixth grade “clap-out” on June 2 followed by teacher workday on June 3.
Kramer thanked the group Cardinal Pride for organizing parent volunteers for the school’s field day. “We couldn’t have had these events without their support,” she said.
On June 9-10, she said she and 17 teachers participated in a virtual co-teaching training. She added that this was a great opportunity for teachers to collaborate on how to best implement co-teaching models to benefit both special education students and the general education population. She explained that information learned at the training is going to be the basis for goal-setting at an upcoming English Language Arts department meeting for grades 5-8.
