Garrett ending school year on high note

GARRETT — ILearn testing at Garrett has been met with little enthusiasm, according to J.E. Ober and middle school administrators. Elementary Principal Kristi Surfus told school board members Monday the new state test is being administered as required, but the results will be stale by the time they are available at the end of the school year. “This test does not honor students’ thinking,” she said, adding teachers currently can pull up-to-the-minute data without the test. Classroom schedules have been interrupted in order to facilitate the testing that has no time restrictions. Testing has been taking place over multiple days, she added.

DeKalb Central to stay on block schedule

The DeKalb Central school board approved the block schedule during its meeting Tuesday evening. A block schedule replaces a more traditional schedule with longer class periods that meet fewer times each day and week. In a memorandum to the board, high school Principal Marcus Wagner and middle school Principal Matt Vince outlined the reasons they recommend staying on a block schedule. “As we all know, the 2020-21 school year has presented many challenges and we have been compelled to make many changes as a result of COVID-19. Some of those changes have turned out to be extremely well-received by our students, staff and families. One such change was our block schedule,” the memo stated.
