Robin Veysey, Librarian Ed. Technician is new to our staff this year.
I am pleased to report that your school continues to be in good shape with students progressing towards our goal of receiving a quality education. We also are able to capitalize on our strength which is our ability to work together as a union for the benefit of our students.
Curriculum, instruction, assessment and staff development all continue to be a major focus of our efforts in Lamoine and union wide. Progress continues on the development of our Local Assessment System. New reading assessments have been implemented this fall. Science assessments have been identified and at least one will be piloted at every grade level this year.
The U92 Design/Assessment Team, under Deb Metzler’s leadership, has been working to increase the staff’s knowledge of standards based grading. As a component of our Local Assessment System we have the need to report student progress as it relates to the four (4) performance levels as defined by the MEA:
1. Does not meet the standard;
2. Partially meets the standard;
3. Meets the standard; and
4. Exceeds the standard.
Standards based report cards will be our next
logical step. It is our goal to have
our local assessment and a standards based reporting system in place by the
fall of 2005.
You are invited to a community forum to be held at the Lamoine Consolidated School to discuss information regarding the federal legislation, “No Child Left Behind” and Maine’s “Learning Results”. This is part of our efforts to educate parents, students and community members of the impact on students regarding these two pieces of educational legislation. Date and time to be announced.
The School Building Committee Chair, Bonnie Marckoon, reports that we are planning a Town Forum to discuss long range planning for school and town facility needs. This will happen sometime in May.
Your school committee continues to work hard at updating their policies and on putting together their FY 05 school budget proposal which is presented in this report for your review, discussion and action.
Once again, it has been a sincere pleasure serving as your Superintendent during the past year.
Respectfully,
William A. Fowler
Superintendent
