Inside this issue

What a difference a year makes

One year and two months

after arriving in Peabody I

find myself feeling ―at

home with a staff and

community where I am

still learning so much and

driven to make the most

informed decisions for the

present while planning for

the future of this district

and community

Planning and preparation for the future

has been going on long before I arrived

But for now it is my job to continue this

task with the BOE and the community

Abraham Lincoln was quoted ―Give me

six hours to chop down a tree and I will

spend the first four sharpening the axe

I have always respected this manrsquos pa-

tience planning visionhis leadership

This quote emphasizes his resolve for

proper planning and preparation in eve-

rything he did With this in mind it is

more important than ever for us to care-

fully plan our future for the education of

our children

With this planning comes some con-

cerns I urge everyone to care-

fully follow whatrsquos going on with the

statersquos political

direction as it af-

fects education

What you will see

is an orchestrated

effort to weaken

public education

in this state by

disapportionment

of taxation

Already the data

shows Kansas

dropping in the ranks as compared

throughout the nation Currently Kansas

is 4 on the list of states making the larg-

est cuts to public education A state proud

of itrsquos educational system looks to ―slip to

a level below what we are accustomed to

in national comparison This will continue

to happen slowly if the current course is

followed and several years form now we

will be trying to reverse the damage done

by political decisions today made without

any concern for our youth Upcoming deci-

sions concerning education are crucial

This in turn is crucial for the children of

Burns amp Peabody Stay informed and

support this generationrsquos youth Thank

you for supporting our kidsour future

PBES Happenings Written by Mr Parry

PAGE 2 USD 398 DISTRICT NEWSLETTER VOLUME 2 I SSUE 3

When backing out of a driveway or leaving a gar-age watch out for children walking or bicycling to school

When driving in neigh-borhoods with school zones watch out for young people who may be thinking about getting to school but may not be thinking of getting there safely

Slow down Watch for children walking in the street espe-cially if there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood

Be alert Children arriving late for the bus may dart into the streetroad with out looking for traffic

Know and obey the Kansas school bus laws Learn the flashing signal light system that school bus driv-ers use to alert motorists of pending actions

Yellow flashing lights indicate that the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children Mo-torists should slow down and prepare to stop their vehicles

Red flashing lights and ex-tended stop arms indicate that the bus has stopped and that children are getting on or off

Motorists must stop their cars and wait until the red lights stop flashing and the extended stop sign is

withdrawn before they can start driving again

Failure yield will result in a traffic violation fine

PBHS TEST FEST October 16th

Wednesday October 16h Peabody-Burns High School will participate in its 1st Annual ldquoTest Festrdquo

On this day Freshmen Sophomores and Juniors will par-ticipate in important assessments as part of ACT‟s Edu-cational Planning and Assessment System There will be no school for seniors on this day A small break-fast consisting of rolls and juice will be provided be-ginning at 815 am and testing will begin around 900 am

Freshmen will be taking the EXPLORE test EXPLORE assesses academic progress in English mathematics reading and science reasoning In addition this test is designed to help ninth-grade students explore the world of possibilities open to them make the most of their op-portunities in high school and beyond and guide them as they start thinking about future educational and career

planning Freshmen will complete their testing and be dismissed at approximately 1230 The PLAN test will be given to sophomores This test assesses academic progress in English mathematics reading and science reasoning In addition PLAN results assist students and parents in making well-informed choices about courses to be taken in the remaining years of high school The PLAN program provides counselors with the quality and variety of information needed to effectively guide individual students in course selection and postsec-ondary planning at a time when guidance can have a significant impact Sophomores will complete their testing and be dismissed at approximately 1230

Juniors will be taking the ldquoPractice ACTrdquo This assessment will allow us to gauge the academic progress of our students in English mathematics reading and science reasoning In addition it will serve as an excellent practice for those students who intend to take the ACT test again to improve their score at a later time Scores earned on this ldquopractice assessmentrdquo do not count as an actual ACT score Students who intend to use their ACT score for college entrance or scholarship purposes should plan to take the regular ACT at a later date Juniors will complete their testing and be dismissed at approximately 1230

The data we gain from these assessment scores helps us to gauge our progress as a school and as a district In addi-tion the data will provide both students and parents with valuable information that can be used in future planning With this in mind we want our students to perform their very best on these tests A key component to a child‟s per-formance is a good night‟s sleep Please assist us in this area These tests are mandatory It is crucial that your child be at school on this date If a student must be absent a make up will be required The mandatory make-up date is Monday October 21st (we have no school that day but testing will be required) If your child is absent on October 16th you will be contacted at a later time about the specifics of the make-up

For your information the district will be providing each child with the required breakfast and a mid-morning snack Lunch will be a ldquopicnicrdquo on the south lawn of the school (This will count as school lunch Students that bring their lunch will need to bring it as normal)

Middle school students will be out of the building during the morning on the 16th doing Community Service Pro-jects around the town They will be in school in the afternoon (NOT DISMISSED EARLY)

If you have any questions please feel free to contact the building administration at (620) 983-2196 or contact the high school office

Principally Speakinghelliphelliphellip Mr Robertson

In Shakespearersquos Romeo and Juliet there is a line that goes something like ―A rose by any

other name would smell as sweet I realize that this is an odd way to begin a short blurb in

the newsletter but I use it to illustrate our current 6th 7th and 8th graderrsquos educational envi-

ronment Mr Traxson alluded to questions by some stakeholders in a recent newspaper arti-

cle about our use of the word middle school now as opposed to junior high school Irsquod like to

add my thoughts on this subject as well

More than anything else the difference between ―junior high and ―middle school is a philos-

ophy of doing what is needed to BEST meet the needs of students in this age group Itrsquos not

that we havenrsquot always tried to meet the needs of these students but with the addition of 6th

grade to the building a couple of years ago we had the perfect opportunity to seriously ad-

dress the unique needs of pre-adolescent children (I call them ―tweeners ndash too old for ele-

mentary school and not quite ready for high school)

With the size of our staff we will never be able to have a fully conventional middle school set-

ting but we have taken the research based strategies that we are able to do and incorporated

them into ―our middle school philosophy One of the key tenets of middle schools is the con-

cept of teaming This means that students have the same teachers for all of their core class

work ndash math science language arts and social studies) Each team of teachers meets during

common planning time to discuss the needs of individual students or groups of students

They also discuss how they might be able to collaborate and teach classes from an interdisci-

plinary aspect This year we have fully implemented this concept into our schedule We

have also organized our middle grade students into advisory groups this year This is a take-

off on the old ―home room concept Each middle level teacher has a small group of students

that they can keep track of for all of their classes make interventions when necessary and

provide a common point of connection between the school and home

The transition from elementary school to middle school is a hard one We try very hard to

allow all our middle level students to develop a sense of identity and ownership in their

school ndash middle school as opposed to being a miniature version of high school We also work

to help prepare our eighth grade students for their transition to high school an equally

daunting concept for many of them

So while the sign on the building on the building reads Jr ndash Sr High School we are develop-

ing to the best of our abilities the philosophy of two separate

schools in the same building Peabody-Burns Middle School and

Peabody-Burns High School Each one doing what we feel is

best to meet the educational emotional and social needs of every

student Please feel free to contact me if you have questions

about the middle school philosophy of educating our students

My newsletter space this

month will be allocated to ad-

dress two issues that come up

every year concerning activi-

ties The first issue involves

the attendance of school and

activities that night USD 398

usually uses the guideline of ―if

you eat lunch with us and

spend half the day in school

attending classes you may

practice or play that evening

As usual there are exceptions

to every rule A doctors or den-

tist appointment a funeral a

family--heaven forbidmdashtragedy

will always be taken into ac-

count when applying this

guideline Please keep this in

mind when calling the school

to excuse your son or daughter

from school When we ask the

reason for the absence we are

not trying to be intrusive We

are simply trying to apply the

rule above No we will not

send a list every day after

school telling a coach or spon-

sor who has been absent from

school and therefore cannot

participate in an activity that

eveningmdashunless it becomes

necessary USD 398 hopes

that this particular issue can

be monitored by the person in

the activity and the parent or

guardian If you have ques-

tions or need clarification

please call the school andor

me

A second issue involves the

transportation of students in-

volved in the activities before

and after the activity As a

general rule

USD 398

would like

the student

participant to

ride the

transporta-

tion to and

from the

event provid-

ed by the dis-

trict A coach or sponsor can

learn a great deal about their

squads by how they act and

react to an activity Again as

usual there are exceptions to

this general guideline If it

would benefit the participant

in some way a parent

guardian can always take their

son or daughter home AFTER

an event They simply have to

sign their son or daughter out

through the coach or sponsor

A different guideline is em-

ployed for two other circum-

stances If a parentguardian

family member or family

friend would like to take a par-

ticipant TO an activity for a

various reason a note written

by the parentguardian stating

such and the reason for it must

be sent with the participant to

the school

with a phone

number that

can be reached

to verify the

note The

same proce-

dure is used if

a person other

than the par-

ent or legal

guardian is

needed to take a participant

home AFTER the activity

Although this may seem cum-

bersome this policy is in place

for the safety of our student

participants

As always if you have ques-

tions please call the school or

my cell phone and thanks for

understanding

EZ School Messaging

By Ken Parry Crisis Team Director

As many of you know our district has been in the process of putting the final touches

on our parent notification system EZ School Messaging This program will send a text

email or a phone call to parents as a reminder of an upcoming event as well as school

cancellation or another emergency situation This system also sends out an automated

message to parents when students are marked absent This program is another step

our district is taking to help ensure the safety of our students

In the last couple of weeks we have been working on learning the program and ensur-

ing that all of the settings are correct when messages are sent It is our intent to send

out reminders by either a text or an email whichever was marked by the parent as a

preferred mode of contact

In the event of a school cancellation or emergency a notification will also be sent via

phone call
