S
uperintendent John Deeder spent
an hour with Silver Star Elementary
School students for “Breakfast with
the Superintendent.” The event gave
two students from each grade level a
chance to ask questions and talk about
their school experience in an informal
setting.
While they ate fruit kabobs and
yogurt, Superintendent Deeder asked
what the students liked about school
and what they didn’t like. The students
had a few questions, too.
“My mom is a teacher at Frontier
(Middle School) and earlier this year,
she had to work but we had a snow
day,” said one student. “How do you
decide when to cancel school?” (That
was February 11, when three of the
district’s schools, including Silver Star,
were unable to open.)
What the students learned was how
the Superintendent and transportation
department make decisions when the
weather is bad. Needless to say, they
were interested to know how much
goes into the decision to delay or
cancel.
“I enjoy talking with kids
and getting their take on what is
happening at their school,” said
Deeder. “We make decisions based on
what’s important for our students and
I like taking time to talk with them.”
Superintendent Deeder will
breakfast with students at Covington
Middle School in May and at
Mountain View High School in June.
