Code.org Conference at BHS
Transylvania County Schools hosted a week-long Code.org training conference at Brevard High School on June 26-30. The conference was held in conjunction with the Friday Institute to provide training and certification in various computer skills to teachers. It was open to educators from across the state. The Friday Institute for Educational Innovation at NC State University works with Code.org as a professional learning partner to support efforts to expand access to computer science in K-12 schools. Thanks go to the Transylvania County Schools IT team and the staff at BHS staff for helping to coordinate the event.
Summer Feeding Update
The Transylvania County School Nutrition department served 2,346 breakfast meals, 4,427 lunch meals, and 1,029 snacks during the month of June. This averages to approximately 250 children per day. Director Janette Broda expects these numbers will decline somewhat due to family vacations and other activities as the summer continues.
NCASBO School Bookkeeper Training
Finance Officer Gabi Juba is offering school bookkeepers an opportunity to train and earn School Treasurer certification through the North Carolina Association of School Business Officials (NCASBO) this fall. This is a great opportunity to learn and network with peers and NCASBO instructors. The certification is optional this year, but will become mandatory in the near future.
