What’s going on at school

The Bucklin Board of Education approved adding an intervention period at Monday’s meeting. This will be at the high school and junior high levels, as the elementary grades already do this. It will be a 25-minute block of time when students needing assistance can get additional support. Those not needing intervention will participate in higher level stem activities as well as real world skill development.

The school community Thanksgiving dinner is on as of now. It will be on Tuesday, Nov 24^th with start time coming soon. If the annual Thanksgiving food drive meets its goal, we will early release, also on Nov 24^th after lunch. This is subject to change based on the virus situation.

The soup supper during parent teacher (student) conferences, provided by Lions club, will be for Teachers only. The Lions voted to provide meals for both evenings. These conferences will be student led, a new concept which incorporates some KESA (Kansas’s new diversified education plan) elements.

We will continue with Temp checkers, no lockers and no water fountains for the time being. Probably until Christmas.

Deb Factor of Greensburg and the Youth Core Ministries program met yesterday with our local Pastors and some local patrons. This is a program in 12 locations around Kansas that addresses poverty and how to break that cycle in local communities. One element of this is a mentoring program, which matches up HS students with elementary students. We are going to try and start a mentoring program in Bucklin. The program director will be Jeff Baker, Pastor of the Free Methodist Church. Coleen Cossell and Tanna Collins have been instrumental in getting this program started in Bucklin. Catherine Bowman and Emalea Warden are the student leaders. This program trains the mentors on how to work with their mentees and offers continual assistance. It has been very successful in other communities raising self esteem and mental wellness of the littles and in addressing poverty.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at the District Office.
