Dieterich School Board Holds November Meeting

Dieterich school officials are pleased with their district report card from the State and with the attendance at parent-teacher conferences.

Elementary Principal Kathy Pattenaude and Junior-Senior High School Principal Kevin Haarman reported that Dieterich students scored well above state averages on the PARCC exams last spring.

They also shared that 95% of parents turned out for elementary grade parent-teacher conferences. 33% of those junior high or high school parents attended conferences, but Haarman said the attendance rate could have been due to the small number of students with "Ds" or "Fs".

The Board approved the tentative tax levy, with final action at the December meeting; and entered into a five-year agreement with Apptegy for the construction and hosting of a new website and mobile app.
