PRINCIPAL REPORT

BY: PRINCIPAL ETCHEMENDY

·        The budget looks good for next year. 

·        Gary working on Vision and Mission of Englewood.  Gary found something about Englewood Vision “All students will leave Englewood on a trajectory towards graduation and be prepared for a successful life” but could find nothing about Englewood’s mission.  He asked the parent club for some ideas.  Of course the fundamentals were mentioned.  Reading, writing and math but Community, Safety, Confidence and Passion for learning were also added as items we want our Mission statement to include. Gary is going to work with staff to complete a mission statement for Englewood. 

·        Gary mentioned there will be a Chess Club on Wednesday after school, starting after spring break. A parent at Englewood is helping coordinate the club.
