Report Cards Now Available on District Website!
School and District report cards are available for review on our District website at http://cbd9.net/curriculum/district-report-cards. The report cards provide an overview of how our schools and district performed last year. Information about how our district and schools compared to similar schools as well as the state is also included. You will find valuable information about the strengths and weaknesses of our schools. However, it does not capture the spirit, passion, and dedication of the teachers and staff.
Please take a few minutes to review your school and district report cards. Printed copies are available at your child’s school. If you have any questions about your school’s report card, contact your child’s principal. If you have any questions about the district report card, contact Superintendent Dawn R. Granger at dawng@coos-bay.k12.or.us or 541-267-1310.
Attention: School Volunteers
In an effort to keep our classrooms safe and our list of volunteers up to date, Coos Bay Public Schools will now be performing criminal background checks annually. Background checks for current volunteers will expire June 30th.
Forms will be included in the registration packets and will be processed as soon as possible to allow you to volunteer in the schools by the beginning of the school year.
For those of you who volunteer, THANKS!! You make our schools a better place.
Community Conversations
You are invited to join Superintendent Granger for the next “Community Conversations” which will be held June 5th at Blossom Gulch Elementary School from 6:30 – 7:30 PM.
Superintendent Granger will be doing an in-depth look at the achievement compact. If you are a parent and would like to be a part of developing the compact, plan on attending this meeting. Your involvement is crucial. For more information, go to www.cbd9.net under Superintendent’s Message.
Spring Parent Survey
The Spring Parent Survey is posted at www.cbd9.net. Your voice is important in helping assist us to provide an excellent education for all children.
Parents, please take a moment to fill out the appropriate surveys. The data gathered from these surveys will help us plan and prepare for a more successful school year in 2012-13.
The surveys will be open through June 4, 2012 and results will be posted on the district’s website on June 15th. Your participation is appreciated. Thank you!
