2012-2013 Franklin County Public Schools
August 2012 To the Citizens of Franklin County:
Welcome to the 2012-13 school year. We are looking forward to another outstanding year!
Your help, involvement and participation is needed in order for us to achieve and exceed our
past levels of performance. This will be a particularly challenging year as the economy
struggles-but expectations continue to grow.
EVERY CHILD, EVERY CHANCE, EVERY DAY will continue to be our district motto. It
uniquely describes what we believe is our responsibility, our purpose and our goal – teaching
every single child regardless of issues or challenges-every single day. Teaching and interacting
every chance, every minute and every opportunity to maximize every child’s potential, every
child’s performance and every child’s level of expectations. An appropriate and dynamic
education is the “gift” we must all strive to provide for our child so they can be successful and to
help them acquire and achieve their goals and aspirations.
The 2012-13 year will be a challenging one for us as we strive to develop and achieve a 21st
Century and global level of instruction in our schools. We anticipate another difficult budget
season as a result of the struggling state and national economy and we must all work together
to maintain the quality of our schools and the performance of our students.
Parents play a major role in the success of their children in school. I encourage you to be THE
driving force in believing your child’s ability and demanding from them outstanding performance
and behavior. The expectations that you establish within your child will have a major influence
in what they ultimately achieve. Your involvement will be needed and appreciated as we work
together to assure the success, as well as the personal and academic achievement, of your
child. We need your help and involvement to assure that we encourage and realize the potential of
each and every student. Please get involved at all levels of our schools. As always, let me
know what I can do to assist you and your child. Please join me in proving to others across the
state that we, in Franklin County, will do whatever is required to assure the best education for
our students. Sincerely,
Edward C. Jamison

fRANkLIN COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS MISSION STATEMENTThe mission of Franklin County Public Schools is to prepare students for lifelong learning and employment and to
enable them to participate as responsible family members and citizens of Franklin County and the world community.
BFMS
It is the policy of the Board to incorporate Department of Education guidelines, the Standards of Quality, and accreditation regulations in designing the programs of the division. All instructional programs are guided by the Virginia State Standards of Learning. These are supplemented by local curriculum efforts to address the unique needs of Franklin County students.
ELEMENTARY EDUCATIONFranklin County is served by twelve community-centered elementary schools for students in
pre-school through fifth grade. Each school is staffed by a full-time principal, secretary, librarian and certified teachers. Students also have access to a guidance counselor and nurse. In a nurturing environment, teachers and staff present a program of instruction covering basic skills and additional elementary curriculum offerings. The goal of the elementary school is to meet and challenge the academic needs of the students while providing opportunities for social awareness and student pride in self, community, and county.
Middle SchoolBenjamin Franklin Middle School, centrally located in Rocky Mount, consists of two
buildings- the East Hall, housing all 6th grade students and the West Hall, housing 7th and 8th grade students. The middle school provides a transition from elementary to high school and offers a program designed to meet the unique physical, emotional, intellectual, and social needs of students in this age range.
Students receive academic instruction in the core subjects of English, Social Studies, Science, and Math. A broad range of experiences in technology/career education and fine arts is also available. A comprehensive guidance program, Character Counts Program and Olweaus/Rachel’s Challenge helps students develop positive self-esteem and responsible decision-making skills. A variety of athletic offerings prepares athletes for high school competition and promotes sportsmanship.
High SchoolFranklin County High School is located in Rocky Mount and serves students in
grades 9 through 12. A wide variety of classes is available to meet the diverse needs and goals of the student population. Students are also encouraged to participate in any of the numerous clubs, organizations, and extra-curricular activities available.
Due to the large variety of classes offered, parental involvement in course selection is strongly encouraged. A collaborative effort among students, parents and school staff will greatly enhance the likelihood of students selecting a program of studies that prepares them for future employment and/or his or her education.

ATTENDANCEAll students are expected to maintain a full day
schedule of classes. Exceptions are limited to students enrolled in the cooperative work-study program and students granted a waiver by the Superintendent.
Parents and guardians are urged to notify the school any time their children are absent. Whenever any pupil fails to report to school on a regularly scheduled day without notification from a parent or guardian, school personnel will make a reasonable effort to contact the parent or guardian by telephone. Chronic, undocumented absences may result in a student being retained at grade level and/or referral to the school attendance officer. Truancy regulations require that if a student is truant for seven days in a school year the school division must initiate juvenile court proceedings. Your assistance in getting your child to school every day is critical in providing them with the best possible education. A copy of the Virginia School Attendance Regulations may be obtained from your school principal.
fOOD SERVICEEach Franklin County school participates
in the National School Lunch and National School Breakfast Programs in order to serve nutritious meals to our students at the least possible cost. Free or reduced priced meals are provided for eligible students according to Department of Agriculture regulations. Information and application forms to determine eligibility for these benefits are available from your school principal or the Supervisor of Food Service.

TRANSPORTATION Information about bus routes and bus numbers should be directed to Donna C. Carter, Supervisor of Transportation or Elizabeth Shively, Assistant Supervisor of Transportation at 483-5541. Bus rules and regulations which are vital to the safe transportation of students to and from schools are distributed during school business days or on the first day of class. Parents are asked to read these carefully, to sign the appropriate form, and to return the completed form to school. Individual schools will print procedures (in the student parent handbook) for handling changes in bus numbers or in pick-up or delivery areas. Requests for any changes in a student’s normal bus routine must be written, dated, and signed by the student’s parent or guardian and presented to the school office where the child is enrolled for consideration. Two Bus Emergency Evacuation Drills are scheduled for Tuesday, September 11 and Tuesday, October 9. These drills are held in the afternoon and may result in students returning home a few minutes later than usual. Several activity buses provide transportation for secondary students participating in school-related activities scheduled after regular school hours. Activity bus routes serve all areas of the county. Designated stops are generally assigned to a central location or focal point in each community.

Grandparents Day
In November of 1994, the voters of Franklin County approved a $14,684,000 school bond referendum. Of that amount, over $6,500,000 was used to create The Center for Applied Technology & Career Exploration. The Center is a unique endeavor because it represents a total community effort to prepare students for the American workplace of the 21st century. Community leaders, business and industry representatives, local colleges and universities, parents, and teachers worked collaboratively to develop the curriculum and facility that is The Center for Applied Technology and Career Exploration. In June 2002, the center was named The Leonard A. Gereau Center for Applied Technology & Career Exploration, after Mr. Gereau, the superintendent who spearheaded the effort to develop the center.
The curriculum of the school centers on the themes of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The Gereau Center consists of nine modules representing the skills and career opportunities of the future: Aeronautical Science, Energy Engineering, Digital Media Design, Broadcast Media Design, Legal Studies & Criminal Justice, Forensic Science, Graphic & Visual Design, Architectural Design, and Health & Human Services. All students take Physical Science, which will include environmental science, and mathematics at The Gereau Center. In addition, students may opt to study Spanish. Rigorous academic standards, specialized technical skills, and career counseling are combined in an educational experience. While our primary focus is career exploration with an emphasis on applied technology, the modules cover many core area Standards of Learning using applied, hands-on methods. These standards are woven into the curriculum of the modules in meaningful and appropriate
ways. The Gereau Center program is student
centered, combining challenging academic standards, integrating critical thinking skills, and incorporating the Standards of Learning for language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science with technological skills and a problem-based learning approach. Students are immersed in real problems that show students the real world application of their studies.
The Center for Energy Efficient Design (CEED) is part of this school. The CEED includes learning laboratories for hands-on instruction and projects related to building design and renewable energy sources. The building is a demonstration of environmental design concepts as well as energy-efficient systems and energy-producing devices, such as photovoltaic arrays and solar water heaters. The curriculum associated with the CEED is designed to promote an understanding of global awareness and environmental literacy.
In May of 2012, The Gereau Center was designated a Green Ribbon School; one of only 78 in the United States of America.
The Gereau Center
The Center for Energy Efficient Design (CEED), on the campus of The Leonard A. Gereau Center for Applied Technology & Career Exploration, includes learning laboratories for hands-on instruction and projects related to building design and renewable energy-producing devices. The building is a demonstration of environmental design concepts as well as energy-efficient systems. The following concepts and applications are demonstrated in the CEED: wind systems, solar thermal systems, passive cooling and thermal mass, natural ventilation, lighting control systems, shading and properties of glass, photovoltaics, geothermal energy, grey and rain water recycling, sustainable building materials, and PassivHaus design. The systems are monitored and analyzed to be incorporated into learning modules. The CEED is a teaching tool for students in the Franklin County Public School System in Virginia. The programs are also available to students from other school districts. In addition to student use, the building is open to the general public to learn about ways to incorporate energy efficient principles in their current homes and in homes that they are planning to build. Builders and contractors who want to see systems in action can also come to the CEED to advance their knowledge. CEED’s website (http://ceed.frco.k12.va.us/) will post current data gathered from the monitoring systems for students to remotely conduct studies on the energy production and energy use of the building.
THE CEED PURPOSE The CEED enables students and community members to explore various energy devices and techniques to make intelligent decisions about energy and housing.The building is:• A learning laboratory where Franklin
County students come to explore green technology and building design through problem-based learning.
• A field trip destination for students in the surrounding region.
• A place where web-based lesson plans written by educators specifically for the CEED are implemented. These plans are based on the functions of the building and use real-time and archived data from the building’s monitoring systems and weather station.
• A place for builders and home owners to examine energy efficient building techniques and energy producing applications.Our purpose is accomplished through:
• Use of technology as a teaching and information-processing tool.
• Interpretive displays.• Hands-on discovery learning.• Group and individual problem-solving
projects.• An integrated curriculum.• Involvement of business, industry, and
government entities in the instructional process.
• Time and schedule flexibility.

SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES Franklin County Public Schools is committed to providing a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) to all eligible children with disabilities from ages two through twenty-one (inclusive). The Department of Pupil Personnel Services has the responsibility to identify, through the Child Find process, children residing in this jurisdiction, who qualify for special education and related services. According to the Virginia Department of Education, the following are identifiable special education disability categories:
Special Education Services are available in all Franklin County Public Schools. Students who have been evaluated and determined to be eligible through the Eligibility Process are eligible to receive special education and related services. Franklin County Public Schools provides instructional support to about 1178 students who meet the criteria to receive these services.
Franklin County Public School adheres to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA ‘04) and the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Both support the rights of students with disabilities to have all decisions regarding their education in an IEP. This plan is developed through the collaborative efforts of professional educators who have knowledge of instructional practices and experiences in the school setting and the parents who provide support to their child’s education.
The Special Education Advisory Council is a committee comprised of parents, educators, and community agencies that meets on a regular basis during the school year to provide support to our school division. Much training for parents, school staff and members of the community is provided at all SEAC meetings.
Request for Copies of Student RecordsThe Department of Pupil Personnel Services will provide Parents/Guardians the opportunity to review and inspect their child’s
education records. Copies of records will be provided for reasons such as great distance (over 50 miles) and it is impossible for parents to review the records. Under certain circumstances as outlined above, Franklin County Public Schools will provide copies of the student file for a nominal fee of five cents ($.05) per page. There will be no charge when copies must be provided for the following:
• Individual Education Plans (IEP’s) and Eligibility information • Records sent to other schools within Virginia (HIPPA Authorization Form Required for outside Virginia)• Records sent to licensed doctors and or agencies (HIPPA Authorization Form Required). Requests for copies made from agencies/
doctors must be submitted on their letterhead.• The first copies of all information covered in Eligibility Meetings must be provided to Parents/Guardians, at no cost, within 10
business days after that Meeting. There will be a fee ($.05) for additional copies requested.Please contact the Director of Pupil Personnel Services for more information.
PARENT RESOURCE CENTER
Franklin County Public Schools operates a Parent Resource Center to help foster positive communication between the school division and community. Parents can be referred by the Parent Resource Center staff to appropriate school personnel for official school inquiries such as transfers, program placement, testing, etc.
The Center offers information on parents’ rights and responsibilities, information about specific disabling conditions ,community service information, and a lending library of books and educational materials.
The Parent Resource Center is located at 25 School Service Road Extension in the Pupil Personnel Services Office Building. The Center is staffed on a part-time basis, but messages may be left at 483-0280, Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. An independent check-out system allows materials to be checked out at these same times.

DIVISION TESTING
Testing is used to obtain information about what students have learned. This information helps principals, guidance counselors, teachers, parents, and students select materials and/or courses to meet students’ instructional needs, interests, and abilities.
Students in grades 3, 5, and 8 take the Virginia Standards of Learning tests in reading, math, science, and social studies. The No Child Left Behind Act requires students in grades 4, 6, and 7 to take Standards of Learning tests in reading and math. Students at the high school take End-of-Course tests in English reading and writing, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, World History I, World History II, and Virginia & U.S. History in order to earn verified credits toward graduation. Verified credits are awarded when students pass both the course and its corresponding Standards of Learning test or a substitute test approved by the Virginia Board of Education. Six verified credits are required for standard diplomas and nine verified credits are needed for advanced studies diplomas.
Test results are used to determine the progress of individuals, groups, schools, and/or the division. The results of the Standards of Learning tests are used to determine students’ needs for remediation and teachers’ needs for professional development. They are also used to determine if the schools met the established state and federal benchmarks in reading, math, science and history.
Questions about the elementary testing program may be directed to each school’s principal or guidance counselor. At the secondary level, inquiries may be directed to the principal, assistant principals, or guidance counselors.
*Dates are tentative and subject to change as per state directive.

The SOL assessments enable parents, teachers, and students to
evaluate students’ knowledge and better prepare them for success.

HEALTH SERVICES
Franklin County High School and Benjamin Franklin Middle School each have two full-time nurses and there is a full time special education nurse at both schools also. Each elementary school has daily services by a full-time nurse.
School nurses screen students for height and weight according to state guidelines. The division also participates in scoliosis screenings (grades 5-9). Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine. There are currently no medications to treat scoliosis, nor can its onset be prevented. The treatment is mechanical in nature. When the curvature is recognized early in its development there are methods of correcting the curvature and/or preventing its increase. Delay in treating scoliosis may necessitate more major medical treatments, including surgery to correct the curvature. An annual 30-second screening for scoliosis during the bone-growing years can make the difference between a preventable condition and a disability in adult years.
Speech, vision, and hearing tests are given when students enter school for the first time. Vision screenings are done annually in elementary school and for 7th and 10th grades according to state guidelines. We would like to thank the Smith Mountain Lions Club for helping with this service each year.
ACCIDENT/ILLNESS NOTIfICATION
In cases of emergency, the school will first try to contact the student’s parents or guardians. If they cannot be reached, the emergency phone numbers will be called. Emergency numbers should be given on the registration form in the elementary schools, the schedule card at the middle school, and the emergency card at the high school. Please be sure to notify the people whose numbers you give your school to use in case of emergency. Please also notify your school whenever a telephone number is changed.
VOLUNTEER PROGRAMFranklin County Public Schools recognizes that volunteers
from the community are a vital and valuable resource for our children’s education. Our organized county-wide school volunteer program encourages and coordinates volunteer participation in every county school to help provide the greatest benefits to students, school staff, the community, and volunteers themselves. Whether tutoring students, telling stories, assisting with clerical tasks, preparing learning aids, creating bulletin boards, or listening, volunteers add a special dimension to the educational experience. An orientation session is provided and required for all school volunteers to make sure volunteer time is well spent and that volunteers feel at ease in the school setting. For more information about the diverse volunteer opportunities in Franklin County Public Schools, contact the School Board Office at 483-5138, or the school nearest you.

MEDICATION IN SCHOOL
Ideally medications for students should be administered by parents and guardians at home. There are, however, going to be instances when a student will require medication that is prescribed by a doctor during school hours. Since this is an issue of serious concern, schools have specific guidelines for addressing such situations including the need for appropriate permissions and authorized instructions for administration. If medication must be taken at school, it is important that these guidelines be clearly understood and the necessary procedures followed. Be sure to contact the school nurse for more information.
Over-the-counter medications without a doctor’s order will not be given to a student by school personnel. A parent or guardian may come to the school and give his/her child any desired medication.
STUDENT RECORDSStudent records are located in secure cabinets in either administrative or guidance offices in each
school. Official records of exceptional children are also maintained in the administrative offices of the Department of Pupil Personnel Services located in the School Board Office Annex at 25 School Service Road Ext. It is requested that all special education records be released through this office.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parents and students over 18 years of age (“eligible students”) certain rights with respect to the students’ education records. They are:
(1) The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the school division receives a request for access.
Parents or eligible students should submit to the school administrator a written request that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect. The school administrator will make arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.
(2) The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or eligible student believes is inaccurate or misleading.
Parents or eligible students may ask Franklin County Public Schools to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the school principal, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading.
If the school division decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the school division will notify the parent or eligible student the right to a hearing.
(3) The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education record, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the division as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the School Board; a person or company with whom the division has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.
A school Official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an educational record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
Upon request, the school division discloses education records without consent to officials of another school division in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
(4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the school division to comply with the requirements of FERPA.
Under the Code of Virginia (section 22.1-287.1), directory information may be publicly released to colleges, universities, private business or professional schools, or to the military forces. This information is to be furnished for the purpose of informing students of the educational and career opportunities available in the institutions or the military. Prior to the release of such information, the superintendent or principal shall give annual public notice of such intent in a newspaper of general circulation. After such notice, the parent, guardian, or an eligible student may notify the school in writing within 15 days concerning any part of this information about the student to be disclosed without prior consent. Other than directory information, no educational records will be released to any party that does not have a legitimate educational interest in the student. Parental release forms are required when requests for transcripts or copies to be sent to other agencies are made.
For additional information about the student records, please contact your child’s school or the Department of Pupil Personnel Services.
COLLABORATIVE SCHOOLIMPROVEMENT PLANS
Each school in the division, following an annual assessment of its strengths and instructional needs, has developed a building level improvement program which identifies specific goals and plans of action targeted at improving pupil achievement over a period of three to five years. Using a collaborative site-based planning process involving staff, administration, parents, and students, each school identifies a statement of educational mission.
To attain school improvement goals, each school has supporting objectives similar to the following:
• To assure mastery levels of achievement for all students in basic skill areas as measured by appropriate levels of achievement on SOL and nationally normed tests.
• To improve school climate as measured by staff, parent and student perception survey data.
• To implement a writing program for all content areas targeted at improving student writing skills
• To raise overall achievement scores in specific academic areas by a percentage amount annually.
For more information regarding School Improvement Programs, contact: The Franklin County School Board Office at 483-5138.

GATEWAY Gifted & Talented Program
The Gifted & Talented Education Program in Franklin County Schools provides varied opportunities for identified students with differentiated instruction, accelerated materials and enrichment programs throughout the school year. Our focus includes the enhancement of the academic curriculum, developing creativity, improving problem solving, reasoning and logic as well as an exploration of the arts.
Students are identified in grades K-12 through the use of a multiple criteria approach. Standardized tests, teacher recommendation, and a cognitive abilities test determine potential eligibility in the formal placement procedure. A portfolio may be included in this process. The gif ted program selection screening may be put in motion by teacher nomination, standardized test review or nomination by a parent or student. A referral can be initiated until May 1st of the school year. After the placement committee has reviewed the criteria at the school level, parents are notified in writing as to the results of the eligibility decision.
The elementary gifted program offers a combination of options including in-class differentiation, after-school workshops, full-day workshops, summer enrichment sessions, Saturday workshops and/or field trips. Our middle school program also provides in-class differentiation and after-school programs. At 4th & 5th grade levels and 6th & 7th grade levels, students who qualify may participate in the Summer Piedmont Regional Governor’s School Program in Chatham, Virginia. At the high school level, the gifted student may choose to participate in advanced placement classes, honors classes, a variety of course offerings as well as apply to attend the Roanoke Valley Governor’s School for Science and Technology.
The program mission is to provide a comprehensive educational program for students in Franklin County Schools who need and can meet the rigorous challenges of our academics, arts and technology, now and in the future.

SPECIAL PROGRAMSfAMILY LIfE
The Family Life education Program is a comprehensive, sequential K-10 curriculum. While family life education begins in the home and is the primary responsibility of parents, schools have been asked to include in their curricula a program which meets goals and content set forth by the Virginia General Assembly.
Parents are encouraged to be partners with the school during the Family Life Education (FLE) instructional period and to talk with teachers who will be conducting FLE instruction to get a sense for what will be presented. Opportunities exist for parents to opt their child out of the specific FLE instruction; no reason needs to be given for this request. Children whose parents have opted them out will be provided an alternative learning activity. Parents choosing to opt their child out of the Family Life Education instruction should use the opt-out form which is provided by each school. For more information regarding Family Life Education, contact your child’s school.
CLASS ACTION IS NOW CALLED VA RULES
Virginia Rules is Virginia’s new state-specific law-related education program for middle and high school students. The purpose of Virginia Rules is to educate young Virginians about Virginia laws and help them develop skills needed to make sound decisions, to avoid breaking laws, and to become active citizens of their schools and communities.
Virginia Rules features lessons designed for middle and high school students and this web site for use by students, parents, and Virginia Rules instructors. In summer 2009, an initial set of 17 lessons will be available. Instructors will be able to access and download lessons with student worksheets, student topical handouts, and supplemental materials. As the web site is further developed, portals for students and parents and instructors will be further developed to point these users to information on the site developed just for them. http://virginiarules.org/
SUMMER SCHOOLSFranklin County offers summer school for students at
both the secondary and elementary level. Students at the secondary level may improve failing grades or with special permission may take a new course. Courses at the secondary level are usually offered in English, math, science, social studies, and other subjects required for graduation.
At the elementary and middle school levels, summer school focuses on remediation and sustaining academic gains made during the year. Students who do not pass a SOL test may be required to attend a summer remedial program. For more information, contact the building principal or guidance counselor.
PARENTCONfERENCES
Elementary teachers will provide time to meet with all elementary parents on an individual basis at the end of the first and second nine weeks. Teachers will send notification home with a student prior to these dates to make an appointment for a requested conference. Other conferences during the year will be scheduled on an individual basis in response to requests by a teacher or parent. We encourage you to meet with your child’s teacher(s) and to take advantage of the conference time to participate in your child’s education.
HOMEWORk POLICYfOR ELEMENTARY
SCHOOLThe Franklin County School Board has adopted
guidelines pertaining to the assignment of homework. The entire policy is available in the manual located in each school library or in the school office. Summaries are also found in the student-parent handbooks. The following are excerpts from the adopted policy: Homework is not necessarily an automatic, everyday procedure. It is assigned only when it is thought to be beneficial to a student or to a class. Homework completion time will vary among students. The following guidelines are recommended:
Grades K-3 ...30 minutes maximum Grades 4-5 ....60 minutes maximumCompleted homework should always be checked
by, or at the direction of, the teacher. The nature of the homework assignment will determine whether or not a grade is given and entered in the gradebook. Performance in the classroom, not homework, is the predominant factor for student evaluation.
Given this policy’s recommended time limits for homework assignments and the 5 1/2 hours of minimum daily instruction, prescribed in the Virginia Standards of Quality, the board would be unable to justify homework to count for more than 10% of the grade for an elementary student. These figures presuppose homework on a daily basis and should be adjusted downward to reflect more accurately the frequency of a teacher’s homework assignments.
REPORTING STUDENT
PROGRESSReport cards are issued throughout the division following
each nine-week reporting period as designated on the calendar. The reporting system in elementary schools includes a quarterly report card for each grade level, K-5.
A listing of essential grade level skills, keyed to the division curriculum, is assessed at each marking period in the areas of mathematics and language arts. It is impor-tant to remember that a child may continue to develop in a particular skill area over consecutive report periods before mastery occurs. It is also important to note that the skill may proceed to a higher level from one report period to another.
Academic grades are related to attainment of skills and are assessed through classroom tests, oral and written work, effort, and participation.
The “Report of Student Progress” is only one indicator of a student’s total academic and social performance. Supporting data as well as conferences with the teacher also enhance understanding of student progress.

BULLYINGWhat is Bullying?
Dan Olweus, creator of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, provides us with this commonly accepted definition for bullying in his book, Bullying at School: What We Know and What We Can Do:
“A person is bullied when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other persons, and he or she has difficulty defending himself or herself.”
Bullying negatively affects the atmosphere of a school and disrupts the learning environment. It takes the entire school community to create an inviting school where everyone feels they belong and are safe. Working together, administrators, teachers, school staff, parents, and students can help stop bullying in your school.
Everyone needs to be aware not only about the warning signs and effects of bullying, but also about the ways to intervene and support both the person being bullied and the one bullying others.
franklin County Public Schools uses a blended approach to teach both
recognizing bullying behaviors and bullying prevention.
The Olweus Bullying Prevention Program is used at the middle school level. School administrators, teachers, and other staff are primarily responsible for introducing and implementing the program with the purpose of improving peer relations and making the school a safer and more positive place for students to learn and develop.
Rachel’s Challenge exists to inspire, equip and empower every person to create a permanent positive culture change in their school by starting a chain reaction of kindness and compassion
Rachel’s Challenge Objectives for Schools:• Create a safe learning environment for all students by re-establishing civility and
delivering proactive antidotes to school violence and bullying.
• Improve academic achievement by engaging students’ hearts, heads and hands in the learning process.
• Provide students with social/emotional education that is both colorblind and culturally relevant.
• Train adults to inspire, equip and empower students to affect permanent positive change.
Rachelschallenge.org
Bullying Others• Becomes violent with others• Gets into physical or verbal fights
with others• Gets sent to the principal’s office
or detention a lot• Has extra money or new
belongings that cannot be explained
• Is quick to blame others• Will not accept responsibility for
their actions• Has friends who bully others• Needs to win or be best at
everything
Character Counts character education a program on six ethical values that everyone can agree on — values that
are not political, religious, or culturally biased.

Several years ago our society entered into the Digital age of technology. A name that has been coined to further clarify many aspects of the time period is the Web 2.0 era. This era is identified as a time in which one and two way communication as well as publication of electronic content can be done with ease. Because of these capabilities, it is even more important than in previous years that there is an added emphasis on Internet acceptable use and Internet safety.
The Web 2.0 era references a time in which it is very easy to publish content on line. This era was prefaced by the Web 1.0 era in which it was necessary to have certain skills and a certain level of access to certain hardware and software to publish content on line. During the Web 1.0 era, one had to have some webmaster skills and a knowledge of HTML before content could be published onto a web page. Additionally, one had to purchase a domain and purchase a hosting company to accomplish this as well. This soon became somewhat easier with the advent of a plethora of free websites coupled with advances in web authoring software. In today’s time an individual can obtain a free blog or wiki, free “You Tube” space, a free Facebook or My Space account or free Twitter account and begin posting information, music, videos and personal data immediately with no specific skills whatsoever.
The content associated with Web 2.0 not only references the former web pages, it also references a number of other online tools which include but are not limited to photo sharing, social networking, social bookmarking, music sharing, video sharing and more. During the Web 1.0 era, music and video files were much too large to be placed on most websites. Additionally, photos, when compressed, were not good quality at all. In the Web 2.0 era, programs like You Tube and Flickr along with music editing and music sharing programs make it extremely easy to put these files online.
Individual access to these tools along with individual access to so many resources make it very necessary to ensure that students are taught to use them appropriately. In recent years, there have been several legal cases relating to transmitting pornography across the Internet. Unfortunately, we hear of too many cases involving students who are victims of online predators. Go to the Franklin County Schools’ website and review some of the information under Internet Safety to enable you to have
access to some information that we have gathered on this topic. There have also been incidents of individuals being compromised personally because of situations that were captured via photo or video and transmitted accordingly. This personal compromising also includes individuals being caught up in online scams. We try to periodically post information relating to scams to educate our students and teachers within the district. More students have gotten into trouble because of plagiarism. Several legal cases have been brought up involving copyright infringement. While the technology tools are wonderful and put the world at our fingertips, these tools can also be the source of personal and legal troubles if they are not used appropriately. Children need to be taught that often times these troubles can span a lifetime if they are not careful. Most educators will agree that there is not much that many of us can do as far as teaching the children about some of the technology tools. We can teach the students about the safe, fair and legal, and acceptable use of these tools.
None of our students want to get involved with activities that could have negative academic or legal repercussions. As educators our obligations extend beyond teaching while using these tools and having students learn using these resources. Our obligation also includes ensuring that students practice safe, fair and legal, and acceptable use of the technology at our fingertips.
TECHNOLOGY IN OUR CLASSROOMS
All schools in our district are required to have a Six Year Plan (CSIP) for Instruction. During the creation of the last Comprehensive School Improvement Plan, schools began incorporating their technology goals in their CSIP plans. Individual school technology plans are no longer required. The instructional integration of technology into the curriculum will be absorbed into the CSIP plans.
The school district continues to be required by the Federal government for developing a five year technology plan. The existing technology plan in our district covers the time period from 2010-2015. The FCPS Technology plan is aligned with the Virginia plan as it pertains to goals and objectives. The CSIP plans at the schools have their technology goals aligned with the FCPS goals and objectives. Our current CSIP plans cover the time period from 2008-2014.
As technology is in a constant state of change, it is extremely difficult to maintain long range plans for the ultimate use of technology in the classroom. In our division, technology is used as a productivity and management tool for administrators as well as an instructional and management tool for teachers and an instrument of learning for students. Technology is used as a source of unlimited resources for students, teachers and administrators. Technology is used for whole group instruction and for small group or individualized instruction. So many paradigms have changed in the technology world in recent years. We have gone from adding network drops in our classrooms to adding wireless access points. We have gone from desktops to laptops to mobile devices. Until technology became widely used in the instructional world, many teachers were questioning how they could individualize instruction when there was one teacher and twenty or thirty students. The use of technology has bridged the gap toward resolving that problem.
There are new and exciting tools becoming available all of the time. Within the Franklin County School District, the most widely used tool in the system is now the ActivBoards or the SmartBoards. These devices provide an instructional tool for the teachers, a learning instrument for the students and a wonderful resource for all. These instruments are truly all in one wonders. During the past two years our purchase of iPads has grown significantly. These mobile devices are also revolutionizing the total educational experience in a number of ways.
As technology continues to bring an unlimited amount of information to the desktop or the fingertips if you are using a mobile device, the school division continues to make available those human resources who can assist teachers to corral all of these tools and create methodology which will benefit all children in the total learning process. The state mandated Instructional Technology Resource Teachers (ITRT’s) and our onsite technicians along with school partners in the form of the Technology Resource Assistants, Library Media Specialists and the Technology Representatives will continue to be there for all teachers as we strive to make technology integration a reality to all of the curriculum areas.

Mother’s Day
ElementaryThe primary goal of any disciplinary policy for
elementary schools is to provide a safe and orderly learning environment for the students. Good student conduct begins at the elementary level. The manner in which children conduct themselves daily directly affects their morale, self-confidence and achievement. Each elementary school has established a discipline policy based on principles which emphasize that the approach to good student conduct is made as a positive declaration, with self discipline the final goal. All decisions in matters of discipline are made in the best interest of the child and school safety.
Secondary The underlying philosophy for working with student problems is to try to resolve as many situations as possible through conferences, counseling and soliciting student cooperation. Rules are clearly stated to encourage appropriate behavior and to explain consequences if rules are broken. When necessary, parents or guardians are contacted for assistance in addressing serious problems. Suspension from school, detention after school, and in-school suspension are disciplinary actions that may be applied in response to discipline problems. Details of the School Board policy on Behavior and Discipline may be found in the policy manual located at each school and in each student-parent handbook. Possession or use of tobacco and alcoholic beverages by a student in school is not permitted.
