Hello Knight Family:
Have you ever wondered what happens on a school improvement (SIP) day? These are the days that we dismiss at 1:00 and our faculty and staff stay to work. We are currently working on curriculum mapping which means we are aligning our curriculum with the Illinois State Standards. We began with prioritizing the standards (as there are hundreds), connecting the standards to our lessons and ensuring that assessments are measuring those standards. This may seem like a simple task, but in reality it is a huge undertaking to do district wide. We have been fortunate to work with specialists from across the state to support our different content areas. The work is never really done as curriculum, lessons and assessments are always changing. If you would like to check out our live, working document, you can find it here or on our website under the district tab and then Arthur CUSD #305 Curriculum Matrix.
I am not sure how we landed at the end of April so quickly, but we are beginning activities that signal the end of the school year is fast approaching. Next week our CEO class will be hosting their annual Trade Show from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m at the Arcola Community Building. The trade show is the pinnacle event that they have been working toward all year. Students have built their own businesses and will display their business at the trade show. It is an outstanding event and open to the public! Next week FFA will also be hosting their Annual FFA Banquet and on Friday we are sending a team to Special Olympics at Eastern Illinois University. Just wait until May arrives; then we really get busy.
