LaNette, Anne and I met with Alan Doane at the Day of Advocacy in Helena
on the 16"^. We expressed our concerns regarding funding issues, private
schools, charter schools and the legislation relating to common core and
testing.
This is that time of the year when hirings and resignations seem to capture our
attention. By the time this season is over we will have attended seven job
fairs. In fact, Mr. Murphy is currently in Minneapolis at a regional job fair
looking for the much sought after math teacher. We also continue to get
applications from local sources and the internet. Still, it is hard to find math
and special education teachers even with all of the extra effort. In addition to
the teacher openings we have Special Ed Director/School Psychologist,
Curriculum Director, k-12 Activity Director, Speech Pathologist and other
administrative positions yet to hire.
I am enclosing a copy of the policy 43 3 OF Fee Schedule for Various Facilities
at Glendive Public Schools for your review. As we discussed last month, this
fee schedule will need to be adjusted but perhaps at another meeting.
I have accepted resignations from: Sandy Grey Eagle, Special Ed
Director/School Pyschologist; Linda Schlotfeldt, elementary teacher; Katie
Kringen, Speech Pathologist at this point.
We are looking ahead to the K-12 Activity Director position. We are trying to
make the best use of the person in that position.

2. SBAC Testing - Lincoln students began SBAC testing today with fifth grade starting the ELA
test. The testing takes each classroom 5-6 computer lab sessions and 2 classroom sessions
making scheduling and completion of the testing difficult. All grades should be done testing the
first week of May. Results of the testing will be available three weeks after the test window
closes. The test window closes on June 12 which means we won't have results until around the
4th of July. Results will be sent to parents this fall.
3. CRT Testing - Lincoln School fourth grade completed the science CRT testing with make up
testing the week of March 11-14. Thanks to LauraLee Myran and the fourth grade staff for all of
their hard work and organization in administering the test. The results will be available to the
school district this spring with results going to the parents next fall.
5. Reading - Our Reading Recognition Assembly was held on Wednesday, April 1 to recognize
the 177 students who achieved their 3'" quarter reading goal. We greatly appreciate Stockman
Bank and their continued support of this program. Teachers have met with students and
established reading goals for fourth quarter. Students achieving their goal were placed in a
drawing for a tablet and a Barnes and Noble gift certificate that will be given away for each grade
level at the fourth quarter awards assembly. The tablet and certificate are sponsored by the
Masons.
6. BUG Students - BUG Awards (Bring up Grades) were presented to fourth grade and fifth
grade students on Friday, March 27. Thirty-four students were recognized for bringing up their
grades in at least one academic subject area during the third quarter or receiving straight A's.
Awards were presented to the students by members of the Kiwanis Club and by members of the
DCHS Key Club. The students were treated to pizza for lunch that day courtesy of the Kiwanis
Club. Thanks to the Kiwanis Club for their continued sponsorship of the BUG program.
7. Food Banic Donation - Lincoln School participated in the Cenex Harvest States "Harvest for
Hunger" food drive. Ms. Dawes's fifth grade class donated the most food and won a pizza party
courtesy of CHS.
