     School Board Approves Mandatory School Uniforms For All Students
      Beginning in October, Flagler County School Board members began collecting input from the community through a phone and e-mail survey, and forums. As a result of this process, the School Board members approved mandatory school uniforms for all students for the 2012-2013 school year at the January 17th board meeting.  The Board finds that school uniforms are necessary for the safety and welfare of students and school personnel.  Uniforms promote an environment that enhances learning and safety; encourages you to express your individuality through personality and achievements, not outward appearances; and creates a sense of school pride and belonging.   A proposed Uniform Dress Code was developed at the January 25th Board Workshop and will be approved at the February 7, 2012 School Board Meeting which begins at 6:00p.m. at the Government Services Building in Bunnell.  The approved Uniform Dress Code will then be made available to parents and student's through many avenues (i.e. the school and district website, letter will be sent home with students, radio, newspaper, school's front office).  There will also be a Uniform Information section on the district website to keep parents and the community informed, as we work together to give students every opportunity to comply with this new board policy and receive the support and assistance needed to meet this initiative.

     School Level Spelling Bee Winners Compete for District Title
    The Spelling Bee School Champions came together at Buddy Taylor Middle School on January 17th to compete for the District Title.  Following presentations of pins, certificates, and medallions to each of the school winners, the Spelling Bee rounds began.  At round 14, two contestants remained, Trenton Ray, 8th grade student from Indian Trails Middle School and Ivana Moore, 7th grade student from Imagine School.   The misspelling of the work timorously defeated Trenton leaving Ivana having to spell the next two words correctly to win; had she spelled one wrong, the round would have continued with Trenton.  Ivana Moore won the district spelling bee for the third year in a row spelling the words tableau and jambalaya without hesitation.  Congratulations ivana and Flagler County is cheering for you as you compete February 18th at he 68th Annual Times-Union Regional Spelling Bee in Jacksonville!

     American Teacher - A Film You Don't Want to Miss
      The Flagler County School District invites you to a FREE, PUBLIC viewing of the film AMERICAN TEACHER on Monday, January 23rd at 6:00 p.m. at the PirateTheatre at Matanzas High School.  Hosted by Flagler County Educators Association, AMERICAN TEACHER is the feature-length documentary produced and directed by Academy Award–winning filmmaker Vanessa Roth; produced by Nínive Calegari, co-founder of the literacy non-profit 826 National, and best-selling author Dave Eggers; and narrated by Academy Award-winner Matt Damon.  To see the full theatrical movie trailer for this film visit:http://www.fandango.com/movie-trailer/americanteacher-trailer/146661 AMERICAN TEACHER chronicles the stories of four teachers - Erik Benner, Jonathan Dearman, Jamie Fidler, and Rhena Jasey - who live and work in disparate urban and rural areas of the country. By following these teachers as they reach different milestones in their careers, the film tells the deeper story of the teaching profession in America today. The film shows us the experience of these four young teachers as they recognize the importance of what they do, and how much they love what they do, but ask: can I afford to continue to teach?  Undeniable research shows that a child's school success depends on quality teaching. In the next ten years, more than half of the current 3.2 million teachers will be eligible to retire. We will then have a choice: continue with the current, broken system of trying to attract talented college graduates to the teaching profession by offering low pay, long hours, little support, and no prestige - a system that results in high turnover and low morale and translates into 85 percent of graduates refusing to even consider the profession. Or we change: increase compensation and improve conditions to attract the best college graduates who might otherwise go into law, finance, or other lucrative fields. With the best and the brightest in the profession, schools will get better.  You may also view the film at another location on Friday, February 10th, at 7 p.m. in the DSC Theater Center (Main Campus). To attend the free screening of AMERICAN TEACHER, please visit www.americanteachermovie.org.  Click on the “Screenings”tab and scroll to find Daytona State College Feb. 10th event.  Then click “Join Us” to reserve your ticket.

     Speak Up About Technology
    The Speak Up Survey is a national survey (anonymous) intended to collect and report the unfiltered feedback from students, parents, teachers and administrators on key educational issues related to instructional technology.  The results of this survey will be provided to our district as well as state and national agencies.  For our purposes, it will give us a better understanding of the knowledge level and expectations of all stakeholders related to educational technology. As a Speak Up participant, Flagler County Public Schools will be part of a growing movement that values and uses their stakeholders’ opinions to inform K-12 educational decisions. The top five reasons schools participate in Speak Up are: Collect unique data from their stakeholders. Conduct a needs assessment and create a vision for 21st century learning. Use the data to create inform technology initiatives or create strategic plans. Communicate our technology needs to our stakeholders. Measure the success of their technology initiatives. Please take a few minutes to follow the link below and respond to the survey from the perspective of your role as a school administrator, teacher, parent or student.  We know that you are very busy, but you help with this project will provide valuable information to us for planning purposes.   http://www.speakup4schools.org/speakup2011/ Secret word:  speakup

     Flagler County District Teacher and Employee of the Year Announced
    The District Teacher of the Year and Employee of the Year was announced at the Annual Gala Event on January 12, 2012 at 6:00p.m. at the Flagler Auditorium.   Congratulations to Sarah Poppe, Teacher of the Year and Barbara Korn, Employee of the Year!   Sarah Poppe graduated in 2003 from The College of New Jersey with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Education and began teaching high school English.  After moving to Florida she continued her education and earned a Masters degree in Reading from Nova Southeastern University, while teaching full-time.   For the past 6 years she has worked at Flagler Palm Coast High School (FPC) teaching Intensive Reading, English, and for the last five years, held the Reading Coach position.  Sarah shares that the first day she began setting up her make-believe classroom in the garage, her mother knew that teaching was Sarah's calling in life.  After only a few moments in front of a real audience, it was clear to Sarah that she was right.  "The last nine years have been challenging, rewarding, and ultimately have made me who I am today", says Sarah.   "I believe that as an educator one must never stop learning; therefore, for the past three years I have been pursuing a Doctoral degree in Educational Leadership from Northcentral University.  I am blessed to have a loving husband to support my educational goals, who also teaches at FPC. Being pregnant with twins, we are both looking forward to welcoming two new Bulldogs to our family this spring!"    Barbara Korn began her work in education as an instructional assistant for a full time Specific Learning Disabilities (English & Social Studies) class in the Palm Beach County School District in 1976.  She looped with that class for the next four years and her love of teaching was cemented.  In 1980, she was hired as a permanent substitute teacher in a full time Learning Disabilities (Math & Science) class. She changed careers for a short time and then returned to school to complete her student teaching, and earned her degree in 2004 as a Sum Cum laude graduate and began teaching.  Barbara says since finding her current job as a VPK Instructor for Adult Education Early Childhood Center, she has fallen in love with Early Childhood Education and found a new home.   The 2011-2012 Teachers and Support-Related Employees of the Year  have been selected from each of the district's schools and departments.  The 11 Teacher candidates and 17 Support Employee candidates, nominated by their peers from their schools and departments, submitted an application packet that was reviewed and scored by a panel of selected experts in the field of education.

     Florida Students Graduate in Record Number
        FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                          CONTACT: DOE PRESS OFFICE MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2011                                                            (850) 245-0413 FLORIDA STUDENTS GRADUATE IN RECORD NUMBERS ~ Minority student graduation rates continue to increase since 2006 ~   TALLAHASSEE – Florida’s graduation rate has risen to its highest level ever, continuing a six year upward trend despite a challenging budget year.  According to results released today from the Florida Department of Education, Hispanic and African-American students continue to graduate at higher levels, with Hispanic students increasing graduation rates 13 percentage points since 2006-07, and African-American students increasing 11.5 percentage points during the same timeframe. Overall, the Sunshine State’s graduation rate rose more than one full percentage point to 80.1 percent, up from 79.0 percent last year and up nearly 10 percentage points since 2006-07.   “I want to commend Florida’s teachers, students, parents and school leaders for their dedication to helping their students learn and earn their high school diplomas,” said Education Commissioner Gerard Robinson. “As educators, we each play a significant role in helping our students achieve academic success, and graduation is one critical step toward the path to college and career.”   This year’s graduation rate for Hispanic students is 77.3 percent, up two percentage points from last year, and African-American students remained steady from 2009-2010 with a graduation rate of 68.4 percent.  White students’ graduation rate rose to 86.8 percent, up 1.4 percentage points from last year.    Dropout Rate Continues to Decrease Following the upward progress in graduation rates, Florida’s dropout rate also declined for the sixth straight year to 1.9 percent. This is the first time the state’s dropout rate has fallen below two percent, and the rate represents a decline of 0.1 percentage points from last year and a decrease of 1.7 percent since 2006-07.    The graduation rate approved by the State Board of Education uses a formula recommended by the National Governors Association (NGA), which includes standard and special diplomas as graduates but excludes all GEDs (General Educational Development).  The NGA rate replaces Florida’s previous calculation method that included GEDs.  Florida’s graduation outcomes, calculated using the federal uniform rate required for federal accountability reporting purposes beginning in 2011-12, will be released in January 2012. This rate is based only on standard diploma graduates.   Since 1998-99, Florida has used a data collection method that ensures an accurate calculation of the graduation rate by following every student from ninth grade to graduation. The calculation defines the group of students on the same schedule to graduate and measures the percentage of these students who graduate within four years of their first enrollment in ninth grade.   To view the state and district graduation and dropout rates, please visit http://www.fldoe.org/eias/eiaspubs/pubstudent.asp.

     EDUCATION COMMISSIONER ANNOUNCES 2011 HOLIDAY READING LIST
      ~ Families encouraged to enjoy the gift of literacy during the holiday season ~   TALLAHASSEE – Education Commissioner Gerard Robinson today announced the Just Read, Florida! 2011 Recommended Holiday Reading List.  The list includes a wide variety of interesting books by grade level, each with a holiday theme that will kindle the interest, imagination and love of reading for people of all ages. Research suggests that students who read during school breaks and vacations maintain their academic progress made during the school year.   “Reading is a wonderful gift that families can share together,” said Commissioner Robinson.  “What better keepsake of a family’s warmth and closeness than the gift of literacy that will last a lifetime.”   Families can also use the online tool, “Find a Book” to supplement the holiday reading list with other books tailored to a child’s interests. Tens of thousands of fiction and nonfiction books are available through “Find a Book” at http://florida.lexile.com. The Department launched the book search earlier this year as a means to match a child’s reading ability with a book’s text complexity using Lexile® measures. Lexile measures are the most widely adopted reading metrics used in the country, with more than 30 million Lexile measures reported annually from reading assessments and programs - representing more than half of U.S. students.   Florida First Lady Ann Scott also encourages students to read during the holiday and shares a video message that stresses the importance of literacy:http://youtu.be/Eki3i_-VlsQ   “The holidays are a wonderful time to enjoy family, friends and a great book,” said Mrs. Scott. “I hope everyone will be able to take a few recommended reading selections and share them with their loved ones.”   The Department of Education’s Recommended Reading List is available on the Just Read, Florida! website at www.justreadfamilies.org. The site also offers parents the tools they need to nurture a reading-friendly environment at home, and in day-to-day activities. Resources include links to county and municipal public libraries and tips for parents on how to make the most of the time they spend reading with their families.   The Department of Education’s Just Read, Florida! Office makes reading a priority in Florida's public schools and the community groups and volunteer organizations that support them. For more information about the Just Read, Florida! office, visit http://www.justreadflorida.com/.

     International Walk to School Day - October 5th
    Are you within walking or biking distance from school? This week, schools across the region will celebrate International Walk to School Day.  It's an annual event - this year on Oct. 5 - that's intended to encourage families to consider commuting to school by foot.  Students who live close to schools and are not eligible for school bus service can benefit by participating in programs that provide safe, healthful alternatives to transportation in private cars.  Schools benefit, too, from decreased traffic congestion in the morning and afternoon, decreased demand for parking, and more energetic, healthy students who arrive at school ready to learn.   Find out how to start a Walking School Bus program in your area at:  http://www.walkingschoolbus.org

     School Board And County Commission Seeking Redistricting Input
    The Flagler County Commission and the School Board will be seeking public input on three proposed redistricting plans for its members.             To allow for maximum participation, public hearings will be conducted by both entities in September and a joint meeting to adopt the final redistricting plan is scheduled for Sept. 21. The Flagler County School Board will conduct a public hearing during its regular meeting in the Government Services Building on September 6. The redistricting plans will be up for discussion at 6:30 p.m. at that meeting. On September 7 the Flagler County Commission will also seek public input during its regular meeting at 9:30 a.m.               This process is not related to State House, State Senate or Congressional districts. Those districts will be handled by the Florida legislature.             Both the County and the School Board share the same five residential districts. Elected officials are required to reside in their district, thereby ensuring a geographic cross representation of the county, but all of them are elected by a county wide vote.             At a joint meeting of the Flagler County Commission and the Flagler County School Board on August 16, six proposed redistricting plans were reduced to three and ranked by the two boards.             Maps of the three districts being proposed are available on the Flagler County website at www.flaglercounty.org  in the “Quick Links” section of the home page.

     Graduate One - Back to School Information Stations a Big Success
      Thank you to our parents, children, and community who turned out in mass for the Parent Information Station sessions at 9 locations throughout our community.  We are still counting, but we had well over 1,000 parents and students across the district to attend these sessions.  Information was provided on attendance, graduation requirements, promotion information, as well as applications for free and reduced lunch, and school backpacks.  A major emphasis of the presentation was the importance of parent involvement.  Research from the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) & Harvard Family Research Project 2010, indicates when parents are involved, children have higher grades, test scores, and graduation rates, better school attendance, increased motivation and better self-esteem.  In addition, the data verifies that regardless of the family socioeconomic status, family participation in education doubles the academic success of all students.  Parental and community involvement is very vital because it contributes to students’ attitudes about the importance of education. The Parent Information Stations proved to be a great beginning for the “Graduate One” initiative. A special thanks to the many, many people who planned and worked to make this happen. With all of us working together, Flagler County will have ALL students graduating. We can meet 100% Graduation and continue to be an A+ school district. Graduate One webpage coming soon!  It will include all the information shared at the Back To School Information Stations.

     FCAT Erasure Allegations Unfounded in Flagler School District
    Flagler County School District was among 14 districts statewide flagged for what was termed “unusual levels" of erasures on the 8th grade reading FCAT exam. The state contracted with Caveon Test Security to analyze the data to identify unusual test results for two primary groups:  1) students with extremely similar test responses; and 2) schools with improbable levels of similarity, gains, and/or erasures. Flagler County School’s Accountability Coordinator Jim Devine, immediately began an investigation in accordance with guidelines provided by DOE. The local investigation included interviews with administrators, teachers and students, review of documents from the DOE, and a review of the actual test administrative protocol. Results of the investigation yielded no improprieties and the documentation was provided to the DOE.   Superintendent Janet Valentine received a phone call June 23, 2011 from Dr. Sharon Koons, Assistant Deputy Commissioner, Accountability, Research and Measurement, with the results of the review.  Of the seventy-five students in question, only three students were found to have erasures that led to their advantage. After a careful analysis, the Department determined that there was not sufficient reason to take any further action, thus the school’s data can now be released to the office of School Accountability for school grading purposes. School grades are expected to be released by the Department of Education in mid-July.

     Algebra I End-of-Course Assessment Results - Flagler County Schools Top Third in the State!
    This is the first year for an End-of-Course Assessment (EOC) in Florida, and the results for the Algebra I EOC shows students in Flagler County Schools scored Third Place in the State regarding the percentage of students scoring in the top third!  We are also among the leaders in the percentage of students scoring in the lowest third!  Although these scores are not yet a part of school grades, it is a fantastic reflection that our teachers are teaching the standards and our students are learning important algebra content. Our students also received this EOC assessment  entirely via computer, representing a very successful  introduction to computer-based testing, meaning more time for our students to learn the important algebra content and a quicker turnaround for results in the years ahead. Since this is a transition year for this new EOC assessment, results are being reported on a special scale known as a T-score scale of 20-80. On this scale, a score of approximately 50 is at the statewide average. As you will see from the results, Flagler at 56 is among the top 3 districts in the state for this assessment.  Individual Student Reports will indicate whether the student’s score falls within the high, middle, or low levels as compared to other students in Florida. For students who entered grade 9 in the 2010-11 school year and are enrolled in Algebra 1 or an equivalent course, each student’s Algebra 1 EOC Assessment score must be used to calculate 30 percent of his or her final grade in the course.  The school by school breakdown has not been received by DOE but will be coming soon.  Please check our website for these results. Congratulations to our students, faculty and administrators on a job well done! We strongly encourage you to review the information provided in the below links to help you become familiar with end-of-course assessments:   Main Florida End-of-Course Assessment page - http://fcat.fldoe.org/eoc/ Understanding Florida End-of-Course Assessment Scores - http://fcat.fldoe.org/eoc/pdf/ueocs.pdf Algebra 1 End-of-Course Assessment Fact Sheet - http://fcat.fldoe.org/pdf/11algebraeocafs.pdf Main page for information on all Florida statewide assessments (including an informative webinar about the transition to FCAT 2.0) - http://fcat.fldoe.org/

     Release of Flagler County Public Schools 3rd Grade FCAT Results for 2011 Reading and Mathematics
    The Florida Department of Education released the 3rd grade FCAT results for 2011 Reading and Mathematics. The third grade Reading results determine promotion to the 4th grade. Students who score level 2 and above qualify for promotion. Students who score Level 1 must be retained. These students are invited to participate in a Summer Reading Camp. At the conclusion of this summer program the students are tested again on an alternate standardized test (this year will be the SAT 10 in Flagler County). Students who meet a qualifying score can then be promoted. Other students may be promoted if they qualify for a good cause exemption. The FCAT Mathematics scores have no bearing on promotion or retention. The District Results for Flagler County show the district above the state in Reading for students scoring Level 3 and above at the same level as the state for Mathematics for students scoring Level 3 and above. This was the first year that the new Next Generation Sunshine State Standards were assessed. The results were measured using the former scale of the FCAT. For more information on these changes see: http://fcat.fldoe.org/mediapacket/2011/pdf/FCAT20_MediaPacket_Grade3.pdf The comparison to prior year is provided because these scores have a similar meaning but not exactly the same meaning with the move to the new standards. Belle Terre Elementary School and Rymfire Elementary had the highest percent of proficient students in Reading with 86% scoring level 3 and above at both schools. In Mathematics Old Kings Elementary with 87% and Belle Terre Elementary with 86% lead the district in this category. Rymfire Elementary showed the most improvement from prior year of all district schools in both Reading and Math. Rymfire improved 12 percentage points in Reading (74 to 86) and 10 percentage points in Mathematics (73 to 83). Imagine School at Town Center also improved with a five percentage increase in Reading (72 to 77) and a 8 point increase in Mathematics (76 to 84). Please refer to the attachment for each schools’ scores.   For further information or questions, please contact Jim Devine, Assessment Coordinator at (386) 437-7526 Ext. 3109
