Please join us on Thursday, September 20, 2018 at the Carlene H. Anderson Training Center (555 Walton Rd., DeFuniak Springs, FL 32435) at 6:00 pm for our School Advisory Council, SAC District Training. All new SAC members are encouraged to attend.
The School Advisory Council (SAC) is a team of people representing various segments of the community–parents, teachers, students, administrators, support staff, business/ industry people and other interested community members. The purpose of a SAC is to assist in the preparation and evaluation of the results of the school improvement plan.
Each school in the State of Florida must have a SAC. By law, each SAC must be composed of the principal and an “appropriately balanced” number of “stakeholders.” These individuals must be representative of the ethnic, racial and economic makeup of the community served by the school. High schools and vocational technical centers must have students on the SACs. Middle and junior high schools may include students on their SAC. The majority of SAC members (over 50 percent) must not be employed by the SCHOOL DISTRICT on whose SAC they serve.
We look forward to seeing you on September 20th.
Students at WDE Participate in a Lesson on Decimals with Media Specialist Tammy Goodman
September 16, 2018
Students in Mrs. Debbie Bush and Mr. Andy Stafford's 5th grade classes at WDE are studying ordering and comparing decimal numbers to the thousandths. The students participated in a hands on decimal lesson with the Media Specialist, Mrs. Tammy Goodman. The lesson allowed students to see how decimals are utilized in libraries. Since non-fiction books are organized by decimal numbers, groups of students used the numbering system to order the numbers from least to greatest and subsequently place all of the library books in order. This was a great hands on activity for students to better understand decimals, how decimals can be used in the real world, and to become even more familiar with the school library!
