Evaluation of Wellness Month

EVAULUATION OF WELLNESS MONTH: On all levels wellness month went really well. The students received a tremendous amount of valuable information and program that allowed each student to make good choices about a healthier life style as well as developing their own programs for staying in shape during the course of the year.

School Budget

The 2009-10 Budget Adopted: At it's meeting on Tuesday, April 14, the BOE adopted the 2009-10 school district budget. The process was a long and difficult one as the state had originally indicated a $1.4 million reduction in aid and the federal government made money available through the stimulus act. The bottom line is that the district is in solid financial shape and the negative effect of the national economic crisis will be minimal at least for the next school year. Anticipated declining enrollment and a two year limit on the federal aid may present a different picture two years down the road as the NYS teachers' retirement and NYS employees retirement systems have been hit by the decline on investments. Districts will need to contribute greater amounts in ensuing years, particularly if the economy does not rebound quickly.

Rondout Athletics Page

The topic "School Sports" listed under my favorites, has a link to the Rondout Valley athletics page. For those of you interested in trying out for Fall Sports make sure to check out the dates that tryouts begin. Also, there are schedules posted for the Spring sport season. Come support your coaches and classmates......Gooooo Ganders!! "Honk Honk"

20 Links

These 20 links located under "Ms. Hinsch's Favorites, cover a variety of topics mostly based on educational values. I thought these links would be helpful and informational as well as appropriate for students in grades 5-8. Although most of these links had many activities to use I chose what I thought were the most important and interesting for you.
