March 2013 - Crestwood Local School District
Transcription
March 2013 Walmart Supports Crestwood Education Crestwood classrooms received a stock-up on necessary classroom supplies like construction paper, folders, tissue, paper towels, and disinfectant wipes thanks to the generosity of Walmart in Bainbridge. Walmart’s Teacher Rewards Program is intended to help teachers keep their classrooms stocked with supplies. The program has been in place nationwide for four years. This program allows each local store to choose one local school district to award $1,000 in gift cards. This year the Bainbridge store chose Crestwood Schools. Students at Crestwood Primary School celebrate the 100th Day of School. Serving the communities of Mantua, Hiram, and Shalersville News from your excellent-rated school district! Ohio Changes How It Rates Your Local School Ohio is changing how it tells parents and communities about the academic progress of their schools. The new Local Report Card System is based upon A to F letter grades like most of us received when we were students. This system is intended to make it easier for everyone to know just how schools and districts are performing. The new approach takes the place of the existing system that used six labels to describe school performance: Excellent with Distinction, Excellent, Effective, Continuous Improvement, Academic Watch and Academic Emergency. Here’s how the new system works. Schools and districts will receive letter grades in six broad categories: • Achievement: How well students are doing against national standards of success. • Gap Closing: This measure looks at whether students in all racial and demographic groups are making gains. • Graduation Rate: High schools and districts will be graded on how well they do helping students earn diplomas. • Progress: This will include grades for gains made by students classified as gifted and those with disabilities so that no group falls through the cracks. • K-3 Literacy: This measure looks at how many students in kindergarten through Grade 3 are reading on grade level. • Prepared for Success: This component measures students’ college and career readiness. Together, grades in these six areas will be combined to produce a single overall performance grade for the school or district. While grades in most specific areas will begin in August 2013, overall grades will not be issued until August 2015. This will give schools time to adjust to the new system and focus their efforts on being successful in all areas that are being measured. Ohio’s new Local Report Cards will also include other important information, such as how many students earn college credits in high school, graduate with honors, receive credentials that prepare them to directly enter the workforce and if they are ready for college and careers. These items, which will be graded as a group but not individually, are for information only and will not be assigned letter grades. In coming months, the State Board of Education will be working with educators and communities to determine how to award letter grades in each of the categories listed above. The new report cards will be published online starting in August. For updates and more information, go to newreportcard. educaton.ohio.gov.

Callie Mo, an eighth grader, came in fifth place this year and qualified to advance with Ephraim to the AkronSummit Public Library auditorium on March 9 at 1 p.m. to compete in the Akron Beacon Journal Regional Spelling Bee. Although Madeline Turner did not place, she performed with confidence and dignity and remained to the end of the bee to support her fellow spellers. Congratulations to all on a job well done, and good luck to Ephraim and Callie. Crestwood Teams with Hiram College to Promote Student Growth Crestwood Local Schools is fortunate to have Hiram College as a close neighbor to form partnerships with that aid student growth, for both the Crestwood students and Hiram students. Currently, Crestwood schools and Hiram are involved in two partnerships – a social skills group at the primary school and a tutoring program at the middle school. The primary school is worked with students from Hiram’s Human Growth and Development Class for four weeks. The focus of the sophomore class was on the socialemotional development of young children. The college students partnered with kindergarten, first and second grade students to engage in literacy activities, create coping strategies to deal with emotions and to learn how to play cooperative games. One Hiram student, summing up her experience, “Every Thursday morning, I had the honor of getting to know three individual students for four straight weeks. During this field experience, I was able to spend time with each student and learn about their interests, personalities and families.” The project encouraged the students to continue to follow our Crestwood Pride as a School Wide behavior expectation program. The middle school has benefitted from the Hiram partnership for five years. Students enrolled in Human Growth and Development and Learning Theory class. The placement at Crestwood allows gives the Hiram students the opportunity to apply the social/ emotional and growth and development theory they are learning in class, while fulfilling requirements for field experience, said Roxanne Sorrick, Associate Professor at Hiram College. Meanwhile, middle school students benefit from small group and one-on-one tutoring leading up to the Ohio Achievement Assessment in April. AC Dance Company 11785 Frost Rd.

Last month I attended a long awaited meeting in Columbus where Governor Kasich spoke to superintendents about his proposed changes to school funding. Kasich’s proposal is another attempt of many to revamp school funding in an effort to comply with the Ohio Supreme Mr. Joseph Iacano Court ruling in the late 1990s that declared Superintendent Ohio’s funding formula unconstitutional. At the meeting superintendents were given the impression that, under this proposal, any district that had local property valuations of less than $250,000 per pupil would likely receive increases in state aid. Since Crestwood's per pupil valuations are approximately $143,000 per pupil it appeared that Crestwood would qualify for an increase in state funding. He also stated that no district would receive less state funding next year than it did this year. Several days after the meeting the state released projections for each district in the state. The projections for Crestwood showed NO change in funding...no increase, no reduction. Newspapers across the state, including local newspapers, have quoted many superintendents and treasurers who have indicated that they do not fully understand how the projections for individual school districts were derived. We too are trying to reconcile the apparent discrepancies between what was stated at the meeting and the district projections we received. What is the bottom line with state funding and Crestwood? First, keep in mind that the governor has simply made a proposal and that nothing is law until it is debated, modified, and voted on by the legislature between April and June. In the meantime, we will be sharing our thoughts with local Register Today For Kindergarten Children who are five years old on or before Aug. 1, 2013 are eligible to attend Kindergarten during the 20132014 school year. Information packets for registration are available at the Primary School or on the district web site at www.crestwoodschools.org. In addition to registration paperwork, parents or guardians are required to show two proofs of residency, the child’s official birth certificate issued by the State, and their social security card. Student’s immunizations must be up to date for entry to school in the Fall. A parent information night will be held April 11, 2013 at 6 p.m. in the Primary School Cafeteria. No child care services will be available. If you have questions, please contact the primary school at 330-357-8202. legislators as to how the funding proposal can be improved to further assist Crestwood and similar districts. Secondly, it is important to remember that if state funding for Crestwood is flatlined, i.e. no additional funds but also no cuts, then Crestwood will still be at least a little bit better off for the next two years than we originally projected, since we, like most districts, built anticipated funding reductions into our financial forecasts. The accompanying chart attempts to give an overview of the funding structure as it stands now. Look for additional updates in Crestwood Comments and area papers as the budget process continues to unfold over the next few months. Governors’ Proposed Funding Program: Key Points This is the governor’s proposal----it is not law. It is likely to go through significant analysis and recommendations for changes from legislators and lobbyists in both the Ohio House and the Ohio Senate before it will be presented as legislation. Final legislation could be presented in late spring or early summer. Proposal Impact on Crestwood No district would receive less funds This would help Crestwood since in FY 14 and FY 15 than they do this we have built reductions in state year (FY13) funds into our forecast 5.9% and 3.2% increases in state- Affect on Crestwood would be wide funding for FY14 and FY15 determined by how the increases are distributed to school districts across the state. Governor’s projections for Crestwood show flat funding for up to two years…no increase, no cuts. No change to existing levels of No change tangible personal property tax replacement payments Additional funds will be targeted for Allocation method is not yet clear. special needs students and for equal No clear benefit to Crestwood. access to early childhood education Grant funds available for innovative Not clear, but appears to be related programs to shared services and other costcontainment initiatives $8 million for school safety grants Allocation method not yet clear Every district would get as much from the first 20 mills of property tax as well-off districts that have $250,000 of property value per student (this would be at the current 96th percentile) Crestwood appears to be in the middle percentiles since local property currently generates about $143,000 per pupil. If this portion of the plan becomes law it would seem that Crestwood would receive additional funds. Individual district projections, however, show no increase in funds. We are trying to understand this apparent contradiction. One possible explanation is that the state’s per pupil funding has been reduced from about $5700 to $5000, so even an increase based on property values would be offset by this per pupil reduction. Page 4 High School Hosts Third Annual Eighth Grade Night On the evening of Tuesday, February 12, Crestwood High School held their third annual Eighth Grade Night for parents and students of the incoming graduating class of 2017. Around three hundred parents and students flooded the halls of the high school as they took in the sights and sounds of what it will be like to be a student at CHS. Composed of three separate informational segments, Eighth Grade Night is the first real step that Crestwood eighth graders and their families take in order to begin the transition from a middle school to a high school student. Eighth graders and their families were invited to spend time hearing from college representatives from Kent State University and Cuyahoga Community College on how to schedule high school classes depending on students’ future goals, were given information on the uses and importance of college readiness tests, and were offered some insights on the college application process. In a separate segment, parents and students heard from their future Crestwood High School counselors on educational options available to them, what it takes to become a graduate of CHS, and some guidelines for building a freshman schedule. The highlight of Crestwood High School’s Eighth Grade Night, however, is always the showcase segment, and this year was no exception. Forty five tables were placed around the CHS gymnasium to give the guests an opportunity to experience all aspects of high school activities, ranging from academics, to clubs, to sports and recreation, to music. Both current CHS students and faculty worked hard on table presentation in order to relay as much useful information to guests as possible, as well as to compete for the coveted “Eighth Grade Night Showcase Table Winner” acknowledgment. Judging for the winning table is based upon the appearance of the table, the level of creativity in table presentation, and how clearly the message of the table was portrayed. Our 2013 Eighth Grade Night Showcase Winner was the CHS Science Club table for its highly informative and interactive setup; as well as for the evident enthusiasm of its presenters. nder Remi e c n a d i u G in are due All forms by e c ance Offi r id u G e th fo 5, 2013 March 1 planning ent any stud ting in the ipa on partic ary Options ond Post Sec SEO) for the (P ar.

Judging from the exciting projects, and hard-working teachers and students, Crestwood should have no problem earning Excellent status again. At school we have taught the content, demonstrated test-taking strategies, and targeted individual weaknesses for intervention, but there are other helpful items your child can do at home. EAT: Balanced meals with protein-rich foods for dinner and breakfast. SLEEP: 10-12 hours should be the goal, especially if you have multiple days of testing in a row. Wake up a little early so the morning routine isn’t rushed. TALK: Talking to your child about the testing and what it involves can help relieve some of the stress inherent to the process. Children are not expected to know everything on each test. Encourage them to simply do their best. This is their opportunity to show all they know. PRACTICE: The following site is a great resource for previously released test questions with explanations of the answers. Students should be familiar with the format and content. portal.success-ode-state-oh-us.info/ For OAA (Grades 3-8) Follow links to “What’s Expected of Students” or ‘Understand Test Results.” Select the subject, grade, and year before clicking “I’m Ready.” For OGT (High School 10th Graders) Follow links to the “Student Site” and “See Released Questions.” MAKE IT FUN: Surprise your child with a note in their lunch and words of encouragement.

If the church won, the students would have to conduct a food drive and if the students won, the church would provide an ice cream party to the students. Middle school students quickly accepted the challenge. The middle school students were able to record more acts of kindness in one day, earning the building-wide ice cream party. However, to show their appreciation, students still held the canned food drive and collected 255 cans for 4Cs in just two days. The contest was part of Rachel’s Challenge, a program to promote kindness and compassion throughout the school, the district and the community. Rachel’s Challenge is a program started by Darrell and Sandy Scott, the father and stepmother of Rachel Scott, the first student killed in the Columbine shootings in April 1999. The middle school initiated the program the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year.
