Dear Valued Members of the Kiva Community:
an internal survey of families with students currently
attending Kiva Elementary School. The results of this
survey prompted the Kiva Site Council to approve the
establishment of a task force to further investigate the
feasibility of a K-8 option for Kiva. The Site Council is
led by Dr. Helminski and is comprised of both teachers
and parents. The Site Council is tasked with developing
a Site Improvement Plan, providing input for the creation
of curricular and instructional strategies/enrichment that
meet the unique learning needs of the students served
at each school. At the March 18, 2009 Site Council meeting,
Lisa Leathers-Cox was appointed as facilitator to move
the K-8 process forward. Since that time, a committee
in excess of 50 volunteers from the Kiva Community
has been assembled to assist in the initial feasibility
research process. Part of this process was the
establishment of a K-8 Task Force website where
one can find more detailed information and
updates as they become available.
