We had a great board meeting yesterday evening, with a few recognitions and presentations!
We were led in the Pledge of Allegiance by a group of upstanding Chillicothe Primary School students! Principal Dustin England gave a presentation recognizing Chillicothe Primary School staff for their hard work and dedication towards getting CPS STEM-Designated, as well as highlighted some of the programs that set CPS apart. We are so grateful for our staff at Chillicothe Primary School, as well as our STEM facilitators and Literacy Coaches, who make it possible to give our students unique, enriching, and insightful experiences that they will carry with them throughout their education!
We thanked and recognized our Board of Education members, in honor of School Board Recognition Month in January. Thank you to our board members, Dwight Garrett, Shawn Porter, President Ryan Wade, Joe Spaulding, and Bill Bonner.

🤖 ⬆️ Every student receives robotics programming beginning in kindergarten and continuing through intermediate grades. Our goal is for our students to create with technology, not just consume!
Our youngest learners get hands on with Lego coding Express Trains. While programming, they learn how robots read the world around them using sensors. 🚂 🤖
1st graders progress to block coding with a Bluetooth connection to Root robots, with a 1:1 student to robot ratio. 🙌
In 2nd grade, students advance further into block coding, using code to draw with Root robots. 🎨
