Sept. 27 meetings recap

Meeting minutes are available during regular office hours at the school district clerk’s office at the Educational Services Center, at 1000 W. 8th Street, Gillette. The district has posted online minutes from the regular board meeting and the special dinner meeting that occurred Sept. 27.

Highlights of the Sept. 27 meetings included the following:

• Curriculum Director Brandon Crosby and STEM Facilitator Sam Burr presented the district’s elementary STEM and computer science curriculum.

Examples of curriculum components are mechanics & structures, scientific data analysis, software engineering, circuitry and computer graphics, a presentation document said. Each grade’s curriculum begins with Cybersecurity and Digital Citizenship so students have safe, successful digital engagements.

Expectations for elementary STEM and computer science include the following:

• • All elementary school students will engage in the STEM lab for at least 45 minutes weekly, with classroom teachers present and actively engaged.
  • STEM facilitators will follow the STEM Playbook pacing and learning objectives for each learning engagement to ensure equity and curricular rigor among all students.
  • STEM teachers will report students’ proficiency levels on required District Assessment System components in PowerSchool and develop cross-curricular learning engagements for each grade level. The district’s goal is to increase equity for students by having a cross-curricular unit per grade level.
  • STEM facilitators and classroom teachers will meet at least once a semester to plan the integration of classroom content learning.
  • Each learning engagement includes STEM lab journaling, which will be assessed with a proficiency scale.
• The board approved the Wyoming State Seal of Biliteracy, which the Wyoming Department of Education awards to students who have studied and attained proficiency in English and one or more additional languages by high school graduation.
• Trustee Linda Bricker said district schools don’t allow “furries” and litterboxes.
