From the desk of Principal Gerving:
Emmons County Career and College Fair/College Application Day - On October 10th, LHS students along with students from Hazelton, Strasburg, Zeeland, Ashley and Wishek gathered in the Linton HS gym from 9:00- 11:00 to take part in the Annual Emmons County Career and College Fair. There were approximately 180 students in attendance. Colleges, military branches, businesses, and state agencies were in attendance and set up booths to share information with our students. Because only local schools are in attendance, our students had a greater opportunity to meet with vendors and spend more time in conversation to learn about potential college and career opportunities. Following the career fair the senior students from Linton began the college application process with the assistance of Mrs. Leier and college representatives that were in attendance. Please ask your child how this process went for them and check their progress on applying for college.
Choice Ready - Choice Ready is a component in the North Dakota Accountability system to measure whether our high schools are producing students who are ready for success upon graduation. The metrics outlined within the Choice Ready initiative are intended to measure growth for North Dakota high schools, as indicated by student readiness upon high school graduation. This framework supports the department’s mission: All students will graduate choice ready with the knowledge, skills, and disposition to be successful in today’s workforce. Linton Public school has recently submitted the Choice Ready Data Dashboard Expansion Project Grant. The Data Dashboard grant is designed to increase the number of schools who have access to a data dashboard that efficiently accumulates, monitors, and reports students’ progress toward and successful completion of Choice Ready indicators throughout high school to graduation. Anticipated outcomes that schools may achieve by using the Choice Ready Data Dashboard include:
Reduce administrator/staff time needed to complete annual Choice Ready reports to the department of public instruction.
Increase schools’ use of data to make programmatic and school improvement decisions.
Increase student and family engagement in understanding, using, and monitoring Choice Ready data;,
Increase the number of students who graduate Choice Ready.
