Attention All Parents of Children Entering Kindergarten
In September 2004
It is that time of year for us to start looking into
our community to see how many children will be entering
our schools in the Fall of 2004. If your child is
going to be five years old by October 15, 2004, then
we want to here from you. You need to register your
child for Kindergarten screening.
The earlier that we hear from you the faster we can
schedule appointments for you to come and visit. Depending
on where you live in our district, you need to give
us a call at one of the phone numbers listed. Russell
School 657-4929 /Memorial School 926-4322.
Principals: Ellen Beale, Russell School, Donna Beeley,
Memorial School
District: Parent Involvement in
Title 1 Policy Development
From Karen Caprio, Director of Teaching and Learning
The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 requires
that every Local Education Agency (LEA) develop a
District Level and a School Level Parent Involvement
Policy. The District Design team has held the first
of three meetings to review the policy and establish
procedures for the Title 1 program. The history of
the Title 1 program in MSAD #15, and an overview of
the current Title 1 program were given by the Literacy
Specialists. This presentation was followed by an
activity to write the District Level Parent Involvement
Policy. All of the information will be collapsed into
a rough draft to be shared at our next meeting. We
will also work to define the School Level Parent Involvement
Policy for Title 1, and we will edit the School-Parent
Compact. If you have ideas about Title 1 programming
we hope you will join us.
The next meeting is scheduled for February 26, from
4 to 6 p.m. at the Middle School Library. Even if
you couldn't make the first meeting you are still
welcome to attend the meeting on February 26th.
District: MSAD#15 Community Forum:
As part of the comprehensive education planning for
MSAD#15, the Board of Directors will be hosting a
community forum to gather your thoughts about the
future of our schools for the next five to seven years.
The Board will use the information gathered to guide
their work on finance, policy, facilities and district
services.
All who have an interest in the community are invited
to attend one of two identical forums, which will
be held on: Saturday, February 7th from 9:00 a.m.
to noon, Or Wednesday, February 11th from 6:30 p.m.-9
p.m.
Forums will be held at the Gray-New Gloucester High
School Cafeteria. Childcare will be available for
those who register ahead by calling Janice at 657-9211.
