From Your Superintendent:____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

_

As your new Superintendent of St. Johns Public Schools I have endless

thoughts on how education should be shaped in America but, above all

else, our St. Johns schools must be focused on teaching and learning.

It is my goal to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of SJPS in an

environment of improved public trust and confidence through open,

honest communication and positive relationships. We have a powerful

opportunity to collaboratively create a truly great school district. Our

success depends on our willingness to be decisive and courageous in

our actions.

The term 21st Century Skills has been used to describe what an educa-

tion must involve for our students to be able to compete on a global

basis. You and I now compete across all international borders and

recognize that location is no longer important to ones workplace. St.

Johns Public Schools prepares your children to enable them to com-pete and win on a global playing field. Our Board of Education be-

lieves that we must produce strong functioning individuals, while in-

sisting that a standards-based education be provided for every child

throughout his or her time in K-12 education. A world-class education

wil be provided for every child in St. Johns Schools. Nothing less is

acceptable.

Our Board of Education has said that the foundation of our mission is

to provide a standards-based education. A standards-based system

measures each student against a concrete standard, instead of measur-

ing how well the student performed compared to others. Curriculum,

assessments, and professional development are aligned to the stan-dards. A standards-based school system is based on:

High academic standards and expectations for all students.

Tests that are more rigorous and more challenging, to

measure whether students are meeting those standards.

Accountability systems that provide incentives and rewards

for educators, students, and parents to work together to help

students reach these standards.

All staff in St. Johns Public Schools work hard to provide an excellent

program for all our students. We are proud of our work and particu-

larly proud of the record of success of our students. I am honored to

be here to play my part in ensuring that all of our schools, and all of

our programs remain strong.

Sincerely,

Dr. Ken Ladouceur

Superintendent, St. Johns Public Schools

Public Act 25 mandated that not only must the district have a school improvement

team, but also each building must maintain a school improvement team. Membership

on all these teams should be represented by staff, parents, school board members,

community members, and students. Each school has its own mission statement, stud-

ies student achievement data, and sets goals based on learning outcomes for all stu-dents. These teams also recommend professional development for staff based on

these goals. District adopted improvement goals support adult roles for which stu-

dents need to be prepared. Progress is monitored throughout the year to assure posi-

tive results for all students. School districts are also required to disaggregate data by

gender, race, socio-economic status, Limited English Proficiency, and special learning

needs to address equity issues. Schools disaggregated data by the aforementioned

subgroups within the guidelines as established by the Michigan Department of Educa-

tion.

Continued focus for district School Improvement Goals:Utilizing funds available through Title II Part A funding, the district continues to im-

plement the core academic improvement objectives in each content area as follows:

English Language Arts: All students at each grade level will use reading, writing,

listening, speaking and viewing to effectively communicate orally and in writing

across a variety of disciplines now and in the future.

Mathematics: All students at each grade level will develop mathematical power to

participate fully as a citizen and worker in our global world.

Science: All students at each grade level will demonstrate essential scientific literacy

as defined by national and state standards.

Social Studies: All students at each grade level will be prepared to become active,

contributing, and socially responsible citizens of their school, community, nation

and world.

Core CurriculumSt. Johns Public Schools continues to use a staff-driven process of curriculum devel-

opment Staff across the district work collaboratively to enhance our instructional pro-

gram.

Professional development has been implemented to align district curricula with the

Michigan Curriculum Framework. The districts purpose is to enable students to meet

or exceed state requirements for achievement,

This past year our middle and high school aligned their curriculum to meet the new

state standards. Materials were purchased in the middle and high school to align with

the new curriculums.

Materials were purchased allowing the elementary buildings to meet the curriculumchanges of Michigan History now a third grade standard; no longer a fourth grade

level content expectation.

A significant goal for the 09-10 school year is to find a way to implement the two

year foreign language requirement in place for our 6th graders.

FacilitiesSafe and appropriate facilities are critical to achieving the mission of the St.

Johns Public Schools. Continual assessment is necessary to provide assur-

ance of safe and appropriate facilities. Assure school facilities are being

provided and operated in the most educational and cost efficient way possi-

ble.

Goal 1:The student demographic distribution within the district has resulted in

some elementary schools being under utilized, with others absorbing a lar-

ger share of the enrollment. This has created not only class size issues each

year but has resulted in the under utilization of instructional space. To iden-

tify the most efficient use, in cost and programming in all six elementary, a

study shall include, but not be limited to the review of residency patterns,

the needs of each facility in regard to maintenance, and the needs of thestudent body in regards to their educational experiences. The study should

involve all aspects of the school community as well as representatives of

the community at large.

Goal 2:

A report on the status of district facilities along with recommendations for

continued maintenance and development will be developed.

Programming

The heart of the mission is found in the educational program delivered to thestudents. This includes the curriculum as well as extra curricular and co-

curricular activities. State/federal mandates and changing legislation de-

mand that these programs be continually assessed and revised to meet these

requirements and, more importantly, the needs of each student.

Goal

With the St. Johns Public Schools mission statement as our guide and under

the mandates from the state and federal government, the district will provide

exemplary programming that supports all students in achieving their maxi-

mum potential.

continuedcontinuedcontinuedcontinued::::_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

FinanceThe district's financial resources are subject to the legislative process

which is controlled by the economic conditions throughout the state.

Through the strategic planning process St. Johns will investigate ways in

which to generate additional revenue.

Goal:

The administration, staff, and board of education will investigate andrecommend means to enhance revenue steams for the district. These may

include, but not be limited to grants, the selling of district services to

other districts and direct tuition payments for identified activities.

CommunicationsEffective communication results when it is regular and ongoing within

the school community and with the community at large in a manner that

fosters honest and complete sharing of information and ideas. Each of

the following goals should assess how communications are carried out to

assure a positive working and learning environment within the district

and with the community at large.

Goal l:

The board directs the administration and staff to assess the district's cur-

rent efforts and recommend activities that will result in a comprehensive

program to disseminate, receive, and share information about the dis-

trict's goals, objectives, achievements, and needs among the members of

the school community and the community at large.

Goal 2:

The board directs the administration and staff to develop a marketing

plan designed to attract students to and retain students in the district.

Audiences will include members of the community at large including

those who do not have students in the school system such as home

school parents and children, senior citizens and young families consider-

Schools of ChoiceSchools of ChoiceSchools of ChoiceSchools of Choice______________________________________________________________________________________________________

St. Johns Public Schools offer an internal Schools

of Choice program. The administration worked

with a committee of parents and each buildings

P.T.O. to develop a plan that would provide choicewhen space is available, while giving priority to

families wishing to attend their school of resi-

dence.

Parents who want their child to attend a school

other than their neighborhood school are asked to

make that decision based on the best academic

interest of the child. All schools of choice requests

are for a one-year period and are to be submitted in

writing each spring.

If you have any questions or need more detailed

information regarding our Schools of Choice pro-gram, we invite you to contact any of our building

principals or the Assistant Superintendent of

Schools, Scot Henry.

St. Johns Public Schools continues to be active in

studying and updating curriculum, to meet the new

grade level content expectations and new high

school graduation requirements. This past year

new books were purchased in the high school for

AP calculus, American Literature, British Litera-

ture, and .

The district used the year to study differences in

writng scores between genders. This is an issue

across the state. We have a difference in scores

between male and females and we are working to

narrow this gap in achievement.

The middle school continues to focus on preparing

all students for algebra. Our goal is to have all

students ready for 8th grade algebra. This year the

middle and high school are examining their Eng-

lish curriculums and preparing for new materials

for next year.

High school staff and administrators attended con-ferences that provided information on the future

content of the MME and ACT tests that all our

high school students now take for graduation.

We are examing how to make best use of the EDP

students develop in the middle school and what

stategies or changes can we make that provide our

middle school students with the tools to be suc-

cessful as they enter high school.

Education YES! and Adequate Yearly Progress:Education YES! uses several components that are interlinked to

present a complete picture of performance at the school level. Educa-tion YES is a broad set of measures that looks at school performance

and looks at student achievement in multiple ways.

For the 2008-2009 school year St. Johns Elementary Middle School,

and high school made adequate yearly progress. Changes in how MDE

calculates AYP now allow us to count the Wilson Center and its five

year graduation plan. We continue to implement co-teaching plans in

place to help our middle school and high school special education teach-

ers meet the new high qualified standards of NCLB.
