ABC boundary committee was discussed.
Mr. Milliken spoke on the collaboration between our school and Miami-Dade College.
Homecoming took place for the first time in the gym and it was a great, well organized event. Students were on their best behavior. It was earlier and less expensive. Therefore, attendance more than doubled what we traditionally get.
Testing is currently occurring. Mr. Milliken appealed to teachers and students to do the best they could and to maintain our school’s grade.
We had CDW and Discovery give us a $40k gift of tablets and all 9th graders were given tablets through Social Studies. Two laptop carts, and a printer. They also provided training to students and teachers, along with lunch.
