A committee working to create a calendar for the 2024-2025 school year continues to gather information and develop the calendar.
Carroll County Schools Superintendent Casey Jaynes released responses to surveys posed to students, staff and the community. He noted that most groups support one Friday per month for students to either not be in school or have a digital learning day in order for teachers to collaborate, meet in PLC's (professional learning communities), analyze data and to contact parents.
The student survey has a unique perspective on this question:
“If we were to extend fall and spring break for two weeks each and if you needed remediation/intervention, would you attend the first week of fall break and the first week of spring break to receive the remediation/intervention?”
According to Jaynes, 85% of our students said yes or maybe that they would attend this opportunity and almost 70% parents would support that week of intervention.
“The calendar committee is looking at many options for our calendar next year. We have met twice and still have some work to do in order to try and meet our student's needs,” Jaynes said.

Eighth grade math students of Renee Coghill and Nicole LeGrand got a taste of learning math with the aid of virtual reality last month.
Prisms is the program that takes students into the “real world” to tackle an actual problem. For example, they had to aid a rooftop garden owner who wanted to use computers to automate the movement of plants based on the plants' need for sunlight. The students had to find the shortest path and write the mathematical rule that moved each plant to the best location.
The students will continue the VR math program into this semester.
Thank you to all law enforcement agencies that help protect our staff and students on a daily basis. We appreciate all of you at the Carrollton Police Department, Carroll County Sheriff's Office and Kentucky State Police.
Thank you to our amazing school counselors! We appreciate all you do!
AARP of Kentucky asked fifth grade students to write an essay explaining why their grandparent should be chosen Grandparent of the Year. CCMS staff voted on the top seven and awarded first place to Caroline Simmons. Other winners include Waylon Beach, Ryann Stewart, Jaxon Routon, Ava Saggus, Aria Edmonson and Bryleigh Westrick.
The CCMS classes with the highest growth on their math i-Ready test were treated to circus games, cotton candy, a sucker and prizes. Games were run with the help of teachers, administrators and the WEB Leaders. (More photos on the district Facebook page.)

The Kentucky Department of Education is seeking feedback as it searches for a new Commissioner of Education. The process should take about five minutes to complete.
It is important for all communities to have a voice in the selection process.
Feedback can be submitted through the Kentucky educators and administrators survey https://survey.k12insight.com/survey1.aspx?k=RQsQRSRUTsSsPsPsP&lang=0 or the Kentucky education stakeholder survey https://survey.k12insight.com/survey1.aspx?k=RQsQRSRUTsQsPsPsP&lang=0. The education stakeholder survey, which also is available in Spanish, is intended for use by families, community members, business owners and others with a stake in Kentucky’s public education system.
