LEADERSHIP TEAM: ❏ The leadership team continues to work on the JICHS strategic plan. This work will continue through the summer.

Students could spend their lunch periods spending time with the dogs to forget the stress of final exams for just a while. ENGLISH: ❏ The theatre program -- in conjunction with James Island Players -- hosted a production of Hello Dolly! in the Performing Arts Center. The weekend run of this production was a smashing success.

Athletic Report & Proposal

Presented by Athletic Director Jeremy Holland.

Proposal-

Option 1: In addition to student fees, I would like to propose that we charge an extra $25.00, per student, in the activities fee to be deposited into the U10 Athletic Uniforms account. In return, the Athletic department will allow all students to enter games with their student ID at no charge.

Option 2: Split the Student fee of $50 dollars and $25 dollars from last year, and give half to U 10. 

Reason - The U 10 account is used for the purpose of replenishing team uniforms, to purchase equipment, as well as help maintain facilities. The addition of the $25/$15 dollars would put $34,000 into the U 10 fund and would make up the amount of money we could lose, at the gate, by not charging students. The $ 34,000.00 is based on 1600 students (1000, 600 free/reduced) attending, on average, 3.5 events during the year. There are obviously kids that go to more and some kids that go to less. This model is based on the college model as fees are added to tuition to allow students to enter games or get tickets with just their ID. 

Benefits – 

When talking to student council about the reasons for student attendance decline, at sporting events, the number one reason was cost of attendance. School spirit has been at a decline and making games more assessable, due to cost, could increase student participation and school spirit. 

Students will be more enticed to spend money in concessions which would in turn increase our Booster Revenue.

back this month to track students who are wearing their seatbelts as they arrive at school.

5/19 CCSD Teacher Recruitment Fair-​ Mrs. Farrell and I attended the recruitment fair. We met many viable

candidates for our current openings for next year.

5/17 Renaissance Fair-​ Students who qualified were able to stay during all three lunches. Due to weather

conditions, the fair was moved to the Senior Courtyard and the PAC. Student enjoyed free food, games, gift

card raffles, and the movie Black Panther.

The following students were invited to the event:

● Senior All-Stars

● Students of the Month

● Random Acts of Kindness recipients

● Students with either S1 or Q3 grades of 85 or higher in ALL classes

5/17 Senior Awards Night-​ The event was held in the PAC for the first time. Ms. Beyoglides did an excellent

job of planning the event. The event was very well attended. Thank you to Mrs. Farrell, Mrs. Smillie, and the

department representatives for presenting and recognizing so many of our students.

5/18 CPD vs. Senior Basketball Game-​ The game is a part of CPD’s anti-bullying campaign. For the second

straight year, the JICHS Seniors beat the CPD basketball team. The score was 80 to 71. We continue to have an

SREB

● SREB math and English are bridge courses for students that are transitioning from middle to high school

and from high school to college.

● The curriculum focuses on the skills needed to succeed at the next level.

● These courses target students in the middle or lower middle quintiles (CP classes).

● A team of teachers and administrators will be attending SREB training.

● The plan is to rollout SREB curriculum in English 4 CP for next year.

● The additional classes will follow next year. www.sreb.org

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination)

● AVID helps teachers shift from delivering content to facilitating learning resulting in an inquiry-based,

student-centric classroom. These elements are at the core of our approach to closing the opportunity gap.

● Equity- AVID is closing the opportunity gap in college graduation rates among diverse and

underrepresented demographic groups.

● Teacher Effectiveness- The AVID Effect is realized through the delivery of inquiry-based and

student-centric instruction which increases levels of effectiveness.

● Training for this will begin next fall with plans for implementing the following school year.

Capturing Kids Hearts (CKH)

● CKH helps build a school culture that is relational and tends to the social-emotional needs of students

and educators.

● CCSD has been partnering with CKH for several years.

● Wando, West Ashley (10-15 seats), and Stall (10 plus seats) have graciously offered to use any extra

CKH seats they have available this summer.

● The plan is to send a pilot group of teachers to the training this summer.

Technology- Matt Gilbert

● The focus has been given to Chromebook maintenance, printer solutions, and managing classroom

presentation suites.

● The five-year technology plan was submitted to administration for 2018-2022.

● Our Chromebook ratio is currently 1: 4. The technology committee has hopes to be at 1:1 someday in

the future. With the incoming department requests for additional Chromebooks, we hope to be at 1:2.75

with support from the board. Reasons for an increase in the classroom need are EOC testing, assistive

technology for our special needs students, curriculum for content recovery, academic enrichment

curriculum utilizing modern web technology and interfaces as well as increased enrollment in

non-traditional CTE courses such as Pharmacy courses. In addition to that, maintenance and

wear-and-tear take a toll on hardware over time. We are happy to report that we've only lost three units

due to hardware issues that claimed the machines and were out of warranty.

Testing

● IB and AP testing began on May 1st and continues through May 24th.

● Exams begin tomorrow, 5/22 for seniors and EOC’s. The exam schedule is posted on our website
