NEWS & EVENTS
Adequate Yearly Progress
Trish Viniard,
Assistant Superintendent for
Curriculum and Instruction, reported
to the Board that after months of
waiting, the official Adequate
Yearly Progress (AYP) information
has finally been received for the
2006 ISAT Reading and Math
assessments for grade 3 –8. Results
for each school and subgroup were
presented. All subgroups met AYP!
The results are cause for
celebration and they validate the
incredible thought, energy and
effort staff and administrators have
put forth on behalf of the
students! All eight elementary
schools, as well as Baldwin and
Junior High, increased student
achievement in Reading and/or Math,
and many of those increases were
significant. A special
congratulations to the staff of
Baldwin and Junior High: In their
disaggregated data, several
subgroups made impressive gains!
Yes, Virginia, Yellow is a
Christmas color
Each year for the past five years,
employees of the Quincy Public
Schools Transportation Department
have conducted their Make A Merry
Christmas project.
District 172 is an economically
diverse district and bus drivers see
it all. It was this concept that
led bus driver training manager Dan
Bartelt and driver Jony Shaw to a
discussion of what drivers and other
transportation department employees
could do to help some district
families enjoy a merrier holiday
season.
As co-chairs of the project, Bartelt
and Shaw solicited good quality
items of clothing, toys, household
goods and non-perishable food items
from co-workers. The items were
collected, wrapped and delivered in
a big yellow school bus to carefully
selected families. Principals and
teachers help identify the
families. Last year, garage sales
were sponsored in May and September
with the proceeds going to the Make
A Merry Christmas project. Many
employees donated money to the cause
as well.
Bartelt admits, “Many times there
are tears, but mostly there is
laughter, smiles, and joy.”
Thank you to the QHS MUSIC STUDENTS
AND STAFF for the Vespers Concert
which truly reflected the spirit of
the season.
In other action, the Board
approved:
· Revised Safety and Risk Management
Plan
