At a Monday evening meeting the Hills-Beaver Creek Board of Education accepted the resignation of elementary principal Kim Grengs effective June 30, 2001.
Grengs has been employed at Hills-Beaver Creek since mid-August of last year, according to Tom Knoll.
Grengs and her family are returning to Farmington where Kim taught fifth grade before accepting the job in the Hills-Beaver Creek district.
In other board business:
oGrengs shared data compiled on the current kindergarten class.
The class went from three out of 19 knowing letter sounds at the beginning of the year to all students knowing letter sounds. "I am excited to have them take their assessment this spring," said Grengs. She attributes the improvement to the all day class schedule.
oFifteen families attended Kindergarten Round-up and 81 percent of the children attending beginning kindergarten next fall are currently enrolled in Little Patriot Academy.
oSuperintendent Knoll advised the board that lightning rods should be added to the elementary building. The school took another hit this spring, according to Knoll.
