Change in Early Out Schedules
On the Monday, March 20, 2017 School Board meeting the following changes were made to the school calendar for the 2016-2017 school year. This change was to accommodate the number of minutes the state requires for schools to be in session. This is because of the snow days we have had this year.
May 26: Regular Day Schedule – school out at 3:00 PM

STEAM Day Activities STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. On April 13, 2017 Truman elementary students participated in STEAM activities, pictured below. Many of the high school students helped to mentor and guide the elementary students as they experienced the various areas of STEAM. Above Left: Instructor Laurie Sherman had students participate in a math activity using cards. The activity required using number recognition skills as well as other numeric functions. Above Right, Below Left and Right: Pictured is a STEAM event that used both math and art. Art instructor Becca Johnson and math instructor Randy Muske helped students to create Sierpinski Triangles.
