    Implementation Team

    We have compiled high-level implementation manuals for all SEGC schools. We also developed detailed implementation manuals for our high impact schools: Harrison Park Middle School, Clark Elementary, Bridger Creative Science K-8, Lent Elementary, and Marysville Elementary.

    Nutrition Services 

    A vacancy in Bridger kitchen was filled on 5/15/23 and created a vacancy at Creative Science, which will be posted internally according to the SEIU contract. 

    Facilities

    We are excited to announce that plans for interior modifications at Bridger are complete, and construction will happen over the summer.

    Childcare/RESJ/SUN

    Childcare is working with Lent PTA to ensure communication is sent out to families about resources. 

    RESJ scheduled a meeting with Assistant Superintendent Dr. Esther Omogbehin to discuss communication concerns with Lent PTA. RESJ is looking into expanding IRCO services to replicate SUN programming at Clark. 

    Enrollment & Transfer

    The K-5 transfer lottery is closed and families have received their notifications via email and regular mail.  Some petitions into and out of SE schools are still being processed.  Transfers into Bridger Creative Science are limited at this time while we wait to learn the extent of new  guaranteed neighborhood enrollments at the combined school.
