MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL HIRED
by Superintendent Robert "Bob" Lewandowski
Due to the number of struggling, at-risk students and the data received through the 2012 Prevention Needs Assessment survey along with the 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Survey the School Board approved hiring a Middle School Principal in the regular 2012 December Board Meeting. The rational is to provide students and teachers with the administrative proximity to follow up with issues of attendance, achievement, behavior and social/emotional attributes that are affecting student outcomes at both middle and high schools.
In a Special Session on December 28, 2012 the Board selected Dan Durglo as the Middle School Principal. The position officially began on Wednesday, January 2, 2013. Mr. Durglo will begin to assimilate duties on Monday, January 13 beginning with the Community Breakfast; however, Mr. Durglo will be acting as both teacher and administrator in order to take the time needed to make an appropriate transition for students and staff alike. It is District's goal to have the transition completed by the end of the quarter/semester on January 18, 2013. This may be a lofty goal, but we will do everything possible to make Mr. Durglo assessable to the middles school students and staff as soon as possible.
Mr. Durglo and Mrs. Stobie will be communicating with elementary parents as well as working with the elementary staff in addressing the 3rd grade needs. Mrs. Stobie has assigned Mr. Tim Krantz (current fourth grade teacher) to Mr. Durglo's 3rd grade classroom. Up until this time, the fourth grade has utilized two teachers to deliver the fourth grade curriculum; however, this year's fourth grade is the smallest class in the district with only 23 students. Ms. Pam Rodeghiero will continue to teach the forth grade with the support of a para-educator while Mr. Krantz transitions to the 3rd grade.
The administration will be communicating with everyone as often as possible until this transition is complete. The District believes this is best for our students in supporting their needs to be successful. We want to appropriately support both the 3rd grade students and the middle school students, as well as the parents and staff in this transition.
Please welcome Mr. Durglo as the Middle School Principal. I am sure he will be contacting parents to extend his services and support for education here at St. Ignatius.

Planting Seeds of Knowledge: Germination In The 4th Grade
The Fourth Grade Class under the instruction of Mr. Tim Krantz shared a science project with me a little over a week ago. I took some photos and asked Mr. Krantz if any of his students would like to be a guest blogger and write about the experience that we could share on my blog. After talking to his class, Mr. Krantz came back and said a number of students were excited about the opportunity and submitted work to be considered. Therefore, without further explanation, I am proud to introduce my 4th Grade guest blogger: River Gonzalas.
First Nancy Schwietzer the governor's wife gave us planters and seeds. The second thing we had to do was study about the plants, the germination, the depth and how far away from each row you need to plant them. Then we went outside and filled our planters with soil. Finally we put the seeds in it. I put carrots, radish, spinach and cilantro in my planter. Everyday for four days we took them outside and watered them. We put plastic wrap on them to keep the condensation in there like a green house. Then the weekend came, Mrs. Linda Snyder volunteered to let us keep the planters in her classroom. Mr. Krantz let the boys and girls take turns taking care of them. Finally Mr. Krantz arranged for Mr. Young and his students to help divide the planters so we could each have our own planter. I am glad I had this experience with my friends, classmates and teacher! - River Gonzalez

The Test Is Here!
March Madness is more than just college basketball. Many public schools are getting ready to take state assessments. These assessments are critical in determining adequate progress by students, schools and states. TODAY, our students begin the 2012 journey with the MontCAS. We would like to invite everyone to support them so they can do their very best.
The video is a Dr Seuss parody with a twist on TESTING. It is intended to inform our constituents and students about the test while encouraging and challenging our students to do their very best! I
I hope you enjoy!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
It's Dr. Seuss's Birthday (aka Theodor Seuss Geisel)! Mission students celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday by eating green eggs and ham, wearing "Cat in the Hat" hats and by reading Seuss books. Seuss's birthday is celebrated annually by elementary students and teachers across America in honor of his work done for children of all ages. Theatre's are also honoring Seuss today with the release of the movie "The Thorax."
Today is a day we all tip our hats to Dr. Seuss for his stories and tales of outlandish creatures, words and rhymes. Most of all we are celebrating the love of reading that his books provided to so many through the years. His tales and stories are not only fun to read, but provide a resource for teaching kids the basic skills of reading.
So here is to you Dr. Seuss! Borrowing the first four lines of your rhyme, Oh, The Places You'll Go, we salute you:
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
THANK YOU SEUSS!
