The Warren School Board met Monday night at 7:00 p.m. in the Administrative Building for the regular monthly meeting. After approving the minutes of the February 9 meeting and a special called meeting March 2, the board approved an overnight trip request for Cheryl Moring to attend the NAEA Art Conference in New Orleans March 25-29.
The board then heard "minute messages" from building principals. Eastside Principal Sara Weaver told the board that students in her building began PARCC assessment Monday and that Daniel Gallegos's students videos were now on ituneu. Brunson Principal Regina Scroggins reported that her building continues with The Leader in Me Program and that two "buddy benches" have been purchases. The idea behind the buddy benches is that if a student is feeling left out, he or she can sit on the buddy bench and other students will recognize the student and invite them into playing with them.
Middle School Principal Glenetta Burks told the board members that her students will begin the PARCC Assessments Tuesday and that Maddie Anders had tied for 4th place in the Patriot's Pen State Writing Competition. High School Principal Gary Jackson gave rave reviews of the band and choir department's recent accomplishments and announced that PARCC assessments begin Wednesday at the high school with Algebra I, followed by Geometry and Algebra II.
