Our Schools FALL 2017-2018 Pages

Templeton Elementary We’ve hit the ground running at Templeton Elementary! Every day we continue to see great things from our students and staff. We have some wonderful initiatives in place that will help grow our students as citizens and learners. Our journey towards becoming an International Baccalaureate School has already benefitted both students and staff at Templeton. Principal Becky Mungle

We continue to embrace our essential agreements of being safe, being responsible, and being respectful. Templeton Elementary took two days at the start of the school year to teach all of the students the important School Wide Essential Agreements for the various locations around the school. This initiative combined Templeton’s International Baccalaureate Initiative and Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports program to help all students understand the school wide expectations and procedures along with matching the IB Learner profile characteristic to each location agreement. Teachers took part in teaching a different lesson at each station around the school as students moved throughout the building.

I am impressed with all of the resources we have available and in place for our students. Our PTO continues to provide wonderful support for our school initiatives and our students and staff.

I am grateful to have this opportunity to serve this wonderful school, its students, staff, and families.

Principal Craig Belt I am blessed to have the opportunity to serve as Principal at Bloomington Graduation School. The B.G.S. community and all of those at Monroe County Community School Corporation have made me feel very welcome. Although I am hours away from Bloomington Graduation School

being considered one of the locals, everyone has made my family and I feel right at home here. Thank you to all of the faculty, staff, students, and families that have made my transition such a positive one. I look forward to the months and years to come here as our school community works on graduating more and more students! The Dragons are already off to a busy 2017-2018 school year. In addition to having students enrolled in our traditional classes, we have several students participating in various classes in PLATO – a standards-based online learning program. We also have a number of students that are participating in programs at Hoosier Hills Career Center. Our unique school day includes both a Silent Sustained Reading Period and a Tutorial Period where students can get the support they need to be successful in the classroom. In an attempt to provide learning experiences outside of the classroom, curricular field trips have already begun (Marengo Cave) and are being planned for the remainder of the year. Lastly, P.L.C.’s (Professional Learning Communities) are underway as the faculty work towards improving the learning taking place at B.G.S. and getting our students one day closer to graduation!
