The June BOE meeting is Thursday, June 23rd.
Today Belpre City Schools kicked off professional learning for our new literacy curriculum! Teachers in grades K-8 that teach reading and writing participated in the first of many training sessions to come. This Edutopia reading linked below highlights the trends in data we’ve been following and the cognitive science the district will be embracing in the fall. The new instructional materials teachers will be using focuses on teaching knowledge-rich lessons that will improve reading comprehension.

Our high school PPD class had an exciting day! They started by going to Pioneer Family Golf Center. They played mini golf, 9 holes, and driving range. Afterward, they went to Texas Roadhouse to refuel after a busy day.
Last week the High School Mock Trial team took a field trip to Columbus to learn more about the law and the way that our government works. To start off their adventure, they visited the Supreme Court of Ohio where they learned some history about the architecture of the courtrooms. Along with this, they also learned about how Supreme Court cases are tried and about how Supreme Court Justices are appointed. After visiting the Supreme Court, they then went and visited with Ohio Senator Frank Hoagland. Senator Hoagland gave them some insight into why he chose to run for Senator and also told the team about some of his time as a Navy SEAL. After that, the team enjoyed a quick lunch before heading to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. While here, the team learned about naturalization and also about some cases that have been held there. After visiting the Federal Court, they went and toured the Moritz College of Law on Ohio State’s campus. The team learned about what to expect at law school and how to go about getting accepted into law school. After this, they enjoyed a nice team dinner to celebrate all of the hard work that went into this year’s competition. Overall the team had a wonderful time and learned a lot about the world of law.
