Welcome to Sublette County School District #1

The District is home to four schools:
High School, Middle School and Elementary School in Pinedale, Wyoming and an Elementary School in Bondurant, Wyoming. We are located in Sublette County, with the Wind River Mountains and Bridger-Teton National Forest in our backyard.

Sublette County School District # 1 continued to make AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) as required under the NCLB (No Child Left Behind) federal legislation for the 2007-2008 School Year. There are 37 different calculations made on our school data to ensure we have made AYP and we passed 36 of the 37 categories. The only sub-group that did not make AYP was special education students at the middle school level in the area of language arts.

Writing continues to be an area the the district will focus on next year. We continue to work with the PAWS test coordinators to ensure we have accurate writing scores for all our students.

AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS FOR PINEDALE STUDENTS

Currently in the Pinedale schools, there are many after-school enrichment and tutoring programs being offered for students to involve them in fun activities after the school day ends. 

After-school tutoring is being offered in the elementary for all subjects and at the middle school for Language Arts and Math.  The math tutoring at the middle school is done with a new computer program ascend.  After-school enrichment programs currently going on at the middle school include: Drama Club, with Chess Club, Journalism Club, and Robotics starting soon.  At the Elementary there is a Young Author’s Writer Workshop underway and is available for 3rd and 4th graders.  Both the enrichment and tutoring at these schools are being provided by district employees.  

If you are interested in getting your child involved in any of the after-school offerings, please contact Clinton Mulbay the After-School Program Coordinator at Pinedale Middle School 367-2821 ext. #3442, or at cmulbay@scsd1.k12.wy.us.

2007-2008 International Science & Engineering Fair

Sublette County School District #1

Ahna McKee and Erica David participated in the week-long International Science & Engineering Fair in Atlanta, GA. They both had good interviews with all of their judges (both had over 10 judging sessions) in their categories.  As always, there were very challenging projects from with over 1,500 students from 51 countries (this was Nigeria’s first year to send students!).  The girls heard Nobel Laureates give advice, scientists describe their years of work, and visited several of Atlanta’s sites.

Erica received the individual prize over all the fair for the Ricoh (paper/printer company) Environmental Sustainable Development Award, awarded to the project focusing on research that develops strategies for sustainable development of natural resources for the future.  She has been trying for this award for 3 years with her snow fence and wellpad reclamation research, and was very honored to get it this year! The 2 boys that won the team project for this award was from Denmark, and studied changes to decrease diesel engine emissions engines. This award from Ricoh is $25,000. for each student.

Thank you to the entire district for support of our K-12 science classes and the science fair endeavor 6-12.  Science research success certainly doesn’t happen from science alone.  We wouldn’t have the success we do with all our science fair students without strong programs in the other curricular areas, help from other teachers and support from administrators.  This particular trip was funded by UWyo and BOCES.
