3. Reports/ Comments from Superintendent and/or Staff
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Rationale:
Diana Lebsack will present Kody Hookstra who will speak about the broadcast journalism program available to students at Yukon Middle School.
Diedre Bradley will present highlights from Shedeck Elementary School. Dr. Simeroth to announce the new board agenda distribution e-mail service. The Yukon Public Schools’ Board of Education has decided to take advantage of a change in law made during the 2017 legislative session and post the agenda for school board meetings electronically. You may access a listing of regular and special meetings on the Yukon Public Schools’ website at www.yukonps.com. In order to be able to only post the agenda electronically, state law also requires that we create an email distribution system for delivery of regular and special meeting agendas. If you would like to sign-up to receive an e-mail letting you know the agenda is posted, please go to the website listed above, click "Board of Education" then click "Board Agendas and Emeeting System", scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Subscribe" button. You will receive an email at least 24 hours prior to regular board meetings and at least 48 hours prior to special board meetings.
Discussion:
Mr. Hookstra gave a brief overview of his broadcast journalism class. Their focus is to ASK, LISTEN, DECIDE, and TELL. Teaching students to create valuable content because it is easy to create terrible content. He showed videos created by his class last year.
Mr. Van Meter asked how often did the school get to see content created by this class. Last year it was hit and miss as they were learning together. This year, the goal is weekly. Mr. Van Meter asked how many students are in the class. Last year there were 18 and this year there are 20. Mr. Wells asked if we will be able to do promotional work for other schools. Yes, I believe during second semester, that could happen. Ms. Bradley wanted to spotlight three ways Shedeck is changing class to change community: End of Day - an intervention that provides additional support on lessons during the last 30 minutes of the day on Monday thru Thursday and STEM Fridays. Partnership with community - such as Canadian Hills Nazarene who sponsors shoes for kids, provided lots of flu support last year and they are always there to provide all they can when we need. Reading time with Principal Bradley - on Sundays Ms. Bradley reads to students live on the Shedeck Facebook page. It is an opportunity to share with families. |
