A committee working to create a calendar for the 2024-2025 school year continues to gather information and develop the calendar.
Carroll County Schools Superintendent Casey Jaynes released responses to surveys posed to students, staff and the community. He noted that most groups support one Friday per month for students to either not be in school or have a digital learning day in order for teachers to collaborate, meet in PLC's (professional learning communities), analyze data and to contact parents.
The student survey has a unique perspective on this question:
“If we were to extend fall and spring break for two weeks each and if you needed remediation/intervention, would you attend the first week of fall break and the first week of spring break to receive the remediation/intervention?”
According to Jaynes, 85% of our students said yes or maybe that they would attend this opportunity and almost 70% parents would support that week of intervention.
“The calendar committee is looking at many options for our calendar next year. We have met twice and still have some work to do in order to try and meet our student's needs,” Jaynes said.

The Kentucky Department of Education is seeking feedback as it searches for a new Commissioner of Education. The process should take about five minutes to complete.
It is important for all communities to have a voice in the selection process.
Feedback can be submitted through the Kentucky educators and administrators survey https://survey.k12insight.com/survey1.aspx?k=RQsQRSRUTsSsPsPsP&lang=0 or the Kentucky education stakeholder survey https://survey.k12insight.com/survey1.aspx?k=RQsQRSRUTsQsPsPsP&lang=0. The education stakeholder survey, which also is available in Spanish, is intended for use by families, community members, business owners and others with a stake in Kentucky’s public education system.
Juniors! Do you want to some help with your ACT? Sign up for the Super Saturday Sessions!
The Super Saturday sessions aim to help students feel more comfortable and confident tackling the ACT. These sessions allow students to work one-on-one or in small groups with content experts to help expand their understanding of English, Math, Reading, or Science. Super Saturdays also allow students to work on non-content issues like test anxiety and navigating timed tests. While priority registration is given to juniors, it is open to any student scheduled to take the ACT in the spring.
Here is the link for students (or their parents) to sign-up: https://forms.gle/cz2QS9bCLNgzoDVy9

Kendall Clifford welcomed her CCHS students back with a team-building activity called Portrait Gallery. Students worked with their shoulder partners to create a portrait of the person across from them, but there's a twist. Students had to work with their partners to draw the portraits. Students rotated their piece of paper every 15 seconds with the person beside them. Neither student got to do the majority of the work and they had to figure out what their strengths were to better help their partner.
