Dear Bowling Green R-1 School District Community and Families,
I hope this message finds you refreshed and rejuvenated after the restful four-day weekend. As we transition into April, a season of new beginnings, I am excited to share with you encouraging updates within our school district.
Spring is in full swing, bringing with it the excitement of Spring Sports and Activities. This time of year marks the beginning of state MAP testing. It's a crucial period where our students demonstrate their academic growth and readiness. As we approach the final weeks of the semester, there is still much to be done. It's a time to finish strong and celebrate the achievements of our students and staff. I am particularly proud of our senior class, who have been working hard meeting their graduation requirements and are set to spread their wings just a few weeks away. This class is special to me, because they entered as 6th grade students when I arrived seven years ago to begin serving as your superintendent. Their growth and accomplishments serve as a testament to their hard work and dedication.
To further highlight work in our school, I invite you to watch a video showcasing our achievements and ongoing initiatives. https://youtu.be/RLPMwIiD5jU
In the video, you'll learn about the remarkable progress we've made, including:
• Significant improvements in student performance, with APR scores ranking among the top three districts for our size statewide.
• Recognition as a Purple Star District for our unwavering support of military families and veterans.
• Establishment of innovative programs such as the state-approved gifted program and Project Lead The Way K-12 Computer Science Program.
• Remarkable achievements in student activities and athletics, including multiple state championships and final four appearances.
• Notable enhancements to our school facilities and infrastructure, made possible by the success of Proposition S and local funds. All projects are currently ON TIME AND ON BUDGET.
Furthermore, I'm pleased to announce that all goals outlined in our recent strategic plan have been successfully met. This accomplishment reflects the dedication and hard work of our entire school community and particularly this school board.
Lastly, as we reflect on our work, let's not forget the school board elections today, April 2nd. Your vote plays a crucial role in shaping the future of our district.
Together, we have achieved remarkable progress while maintaining one of the lowest tax rates in Northeast Missouri. Thank you for your unwavering support and commitment to the Bowling Green School District.
