We have some extra news to share this week, so we are putting our newsletter out a little early. Be sure and check out information on our S-CAP review, pep rally tomorrow, pom camp, and several activities going on now and in the near future. Finally, don't forget that daylight saving times ends this weekend and we fall back one hour on the clocks.

Our annual Student Centered Accountability Program (S-CAP) review was held on Monday, November 1st. The review went very well. Some of the highlights shared by the reviewers included: staff and students feel safe and supported, emphasis on communication is appreciated, and parents feel connected to staff and district personnel. The Akron review this year was a one day virtual review. The one day review is designed to be a check in with the district between the years when we conduct more comprehensive two day reviews. The overarching goal for S-CAP and our involvement in S-CAP is continuous improvement. This year we asked reviewers to focus on the work being done under our Growth priority subcategory "Reaching All Learners" and under Culture, Climate, and Communication the subcategory of "Safe and Inclusive Culture". We targeted the work being done with MTSS (Multi-Tiered Systems of Support) and with class offerings and opportunities that support college, career, and workforce readiness.

Survey and focus group data provide us with additional feedback as well. An initial look at survey data shows some similar results to the results we received last year. We will need time to sift and look through feedback from the focus groups and reviewers. As an administrative team, we walked away with a renewed purpose to find ways to measure and quantify the work we are doing and be more purposeful in communicating our priorities and the great work being done in those areas.

Thank you for the time and effort in providing us with feedback!
