Balanced Calendar Riverton Schools

I have been thinking about the "balanced school calendar" I know in class I talked about how I was not impressed with the current calendar my own kids have at Riverton Schools. However, I wanted to explain a few things further. First of all, the superintendent of Riverton Schools, Tom Mulligan has worked so hard to put the district on the right track. (if you go to www.rivertonschools.org you can find more information) I really believe that the initiatives he has put into place have done nothing but help the district achieve their goals as indicated in their school improvement plan. This man has done a great job communicating school procedures, state initiatives, state standards, and curriculum to parents. He begins each quarterly newsletter with his own column explaining data, goals, and assessment. He also updates his website with the most current information about curriculum and district needs. He does such an outstanding job with public relations! I firmly believe that the community should be educated in school initiatives, and this guy does a great job.
