Greeley City Council held a meeting on Tuesday, September 20. Councilmember Robb Casseday discussed his recent visit to Madison Elementary, where he took a tour with other school board members.
Councilmember Casseday visited Madison on Thursday, September 15th where the topic discussed was weekly assessment and data teams.
"They had a program I had never heard of before, but I was really impressed," Casseday said. " Individually, each student is being assessed in their assessment and then teachers meet to discuss how to help that student progress; I thought that was pretty cool."
Theresa Myers, director of communications for Weld County School District 6, said the program has been running for a few years.
"The school initiated the program to provide an in-depth look into the school district as a way for our community to get involved," Myers said.
The school tours are structured as a one-hour session where a specific program at the school is highlighted and a presentation is given on that topic by the school principal. Rising Star awards are given out to one teacher and one student during the presentations. The recipients are chosen by school officials to recognize recipients for outstanding academic achievements academically or a variety of other reasons.
"It helps the school district get a little PR with the community," Casseday said. "I have a little more positive expectation about District 6 now."
School tours are open to all community members and the next presentation will be at 8:30 a.m., Oct. 11, at Jackson Elementary School where the presentation will be on Elementary Writing. To register to attend a school tour, please contact Bernee Barea at 970-348-6012.
