Community Connections Electronic Newsletter

School Reconfiguration
Stevenson-Carson School District will reconfigure Wind River Middle School, students will be housed at Stevenson High School
Last night, the Stevenson-Carson School District Board of Directors voted to close Wind River Middle School (retaining the use of the school’s gymnasium and auditorium). The reasons for the closure are financial, the District could no longer afford to maintain four schools with declining student enrollment and dwindling funding from state and federal sources.

Families enjoy Game Night at SES
Families enjoyed educational games at Stevenson Elementary, Tuesday, March 20. Doug Maynard, the "math dude" brought fun games to share with families. Eight Washington Reading Corps members, two Carson Elementary students, a high school math teacher, and staff from Stevenson Elementary volunteered to make the event successful. Title 1 paid for the event and snacks and the PTA purchased games to use as door prizes. A good time was had by all!

SHS pilot program helps students recover grades
SHS staff implemented a pilot program to give “incomplete” grades to students whose percentage were between 64-69%. This pilot included the creation of a contract between the teacher and student outlining what needed to be accomplished and by when. The contract was signed by parents, Advo teachers, classroom teachers, students and counselors. At the end of the pilot, 71 contracts were written for 57 students. 56 (78%) of those contracts resulted in recovering .5 credit.
