Whats Happening in our Schools?

Strategic Planning Update
  • The four goals that were established and approved
    by the board are ending year 1 of a three year
    initiative.
  • In many instances we have already exceeded our
    original goals and will be reviewing the entire
    plan in June.

4
  • Goal 1 Partnerships
  • The Creation of an Education Foundation was
    tabled back in December of 2008 due to some
    concern over the economic climate .
  • We have continued to expand Shared Services. Over
    the course of 2008-2009, we are doing the
    following
  • Buildings and Grounds
  • Cafeteria Supplies
  • Transportation
  • Professional Development
  • Technology
  • Maintenance
  • For 2009-2010 we are going to seek to do more
    shared services in accordance with directives
    from the County Superintendent.
  • Over the course of the 2008-2009 school year, we
    have expanded two very important programs Let me
    Learn and Balanced Literacy.
  • The Let Me Learn Program, which is identified as
    a high priority in our Professional Development
    Plan, is finalizing its second year.
  • We are in the second year of the revamping of our
    Reading and Writing Program. This year we
    expanded the program to incorporate anthology,
    the development of centers and the checklist of
    skills for parents. r. We now utilize
  • Developmental Reading Assessment, Fall and Spring
  • Folio for Writing Program, Winter
  • NJASK Grade 3-6
  • NJPASS Grades 1, 2
  • Kid Writing, Write Source, Technology, Library
    Literacy
  • In April and May we will be expanding our Gifted
    and Talented Program to grade 2 through the
    literacy block in our library. This will be
    project based and take approximately three weeks
    to complete. It will be interactive with other
    schools in the area.

  • Goal 2 Educational Experiences
  • This year we worked collaboratively with the PTA
    to expand the enrichment program. By doing this
    the participation rate by the students was
    tremendous. Courses were offered in a variety of
    genres. We also expanded the transportation of
    students so more children may participate. For
    2009-2010, we would like to explore creating a
    before and after school program. A presentation
    to the board will transpire in May.
  • Staff was provided an array of Professional
    Development experiences that were developed from
    Professional Development Plan
  • State Mandated Trainings
  • The staff concluded that the concept of an after
    school homework club should develop for the 3rd
    and fourth marking period for the year and
    expansion for 2009-2010. A proposal from Mrs.
    Meyer will be presented to the board on March
    17th.
  • Even though the state has eliminated Best
    Practices, Governors School of Excellence Awards,
    we had student and staff awards throughout this
    year
  • Students Reflection Contest
  • Mrs. Barrows Award
  • Renzulli Program
  • We are currently applying for a Community and
    Shared Service Award from MOESC

  • Goal 3 Communication
  • Over the course of the summer of 2008, we worked
    extensively on designing and launching our new
    web site. Through the efforts of our webmaster,
    we have expanded our link to the outside. The
    email program that is embedded in the website is
    utilized in conjunction with Connect-Ed. The
    website offers a variety of services. For
    2009-2010, we will expand our Professional
    Development of the web site to incorporate many
    of the new features that are available.
  • Over the course of the school year, our
    informational meetings are as follows
  • PTA
  • Back to School Nights
  • Parent / Teacher Conferences
  • Let Me Learn Parent Night
  • Meetings and attendance at local community
    organization
  • School Advisory Council
  • Special Education Parent Group
  •  
  • During 2008-2009, we have reached out to our
    local print media. We have had a number of
    excellent articles portraying student work. Due
    to no fault of ours, we have also had a large
    amount of press regarding munitions. After
    completing concerts or events, a DVD is created
    and sent to Southern for their network channel.
    We have also used our media for information such
    as Roundup, registration, programs, and general
    information. Our relationship with the local
    media is excellent. The coordination of the
    dissemination of information is done by several
    staff members in the district.
  • In creating media for publication, our website is
    the main source. With constant updates and
    disseminating information to the public has
    access to our schools. Within the schools the
    children have done individual publications
    throughout the grade levels. For 2009-2010, we
    would like to expand our publications to include
    information in local mercantile and real estate
    agencies.

  • Goal 4 Environment
  • Unfortunately, due to the pace of the
    legislature, School Choice is still pending for
    reauthorization in Committee. We have been
    monitoring it closely, and I am in constant touch
    with Melanie Schultz, legislative liaison, about
    its progress.
  • This year we expanded our preschool program to
    full day and we have a ½ day three year old
    program.
  • We were visited by the state regarding our
    Pre-School and were informed we were a model for
    what the state is looking for.
  • We created policy to allow children to remain at
    LBI until the end of the school year if they
    relocate.
  • We expanded our tuition program to all grades
  • Staff members now have the option of letting
    their children attend LBI.
  • We have not explored the option of municipal
    employees at this time.
