Introduction
Developing a School Budget that continues to move the district forward, meets local,
state, and federal mandates, and addresses the "whole child' remains a challenging task.
Our motto is to "Put Children First, " and this goal continues to be foremost in our minds
as we make decisions pertaining to staffing and programming for all students.
The preparation of this proposed budget began in November, 2008, and since that time,
numerous meetings with principals, directors, teachers, curriculum specialists, school
councils, school committee members, and town officials have taken place. We are
fortunate to work in a community where there is a collaborative relationship among the
school committee, administration, staff, city council and town leaders who continue to
advocate for quality education for our children. A special thank you to Mayor Susan
Dawson; Town Treasurer Laurel Placzek;John Kane; Renee Jury; William Sapelli; and
the school committee's Budget/Finance Sub-Committee chaired by Diane Juzba and
members Anthony Bonavita and Roberta Doering for their guidance,time, and thoughtful
input into the development of this proposed FY '09 School Budget. In addition, thank

JAMES CLARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
65 OXFORD STREET
AGAWAM, MA.01001
PROFILE
The James Clark Elementary School is a one-floor structure that was built
in 1957. We just finished celebrating our fiftieth birthday party in October,
2007. We are located on 65 Oxford Street in Agawam. The setting is
beautiful as there is a great deal of open space surrounding our building.
Lack of internal space within the building resulted in an addition built in
1999. Currently the school houses kindergarten through fourth grade.
Additionally there is a district SIP program (specific instructional
program) that services severe needs students. This program stresses life
skills, however offers inclusion when appropriate. We also offer an
intensive resource room for the district for students who need multi-
sensory instruction and serious academic assistance, These two
programs are housed in the modular that formally were built by the
collaborative to provide autistic classrooms. The new modular that was
due to be built last year has been eliminated from the budget at this time
due to the exorbitant cost of steel. Additional space is needed if we are to
continue to offer the best education to our students. Clark has a family
friendly environment that is intended to make everyone feel comfortable,
safe, and challenged. Through collaboration, caring, collegiality, and
cooperation, it is our belief that the Clark School provides experiences
and activities in a safe environment that successfully prepares our
students to become valuable members of society. We encourage our
students to be respectful, caring individuals who strive to reach their
potential academically and socially. Our students should take
responsibility for their learning, however they should be respected for
their individuality. They have a right to a well rounded education. As the
instructional leader of Clark School, I need to encourage differentiated
instruction so each child's learning style is accommodated. Children
need to be prepared to meet life's challenges with an open mind. The
Clark staff is a phenomenal group of educators who work cohesively to
provide the optimal education for all of our students. They should be
commended for the efforts that they continuously put forth. Success of
our students is our goal.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
1. MCAS scores for the spring of 2007 were commendable for the
third and fourth grades. AYP was made in all subgroups.
2. Four PLCS(Literacy, Math, Lindamood, and Behavior) have been
established and meet regularly.
3. Clark School's Student Council will be donating $1000.00 to the

5. Math investigations has been adopted by grades K-2 and there

to assist with positive behavior.
7. Our LIFE staff group (literacy is family entertainment) will be
putting on four evening events for the students and parents.
8. Lindamood reading classes sponsored by the Special Education
Department have been set up in many classes.

11. DRAS continue to be used as a piece of a child's assessment for

acknowledged regularly.
14. Second Step and Anti-Bullying continue to be important pieces of
the curriculum.

Benjamin J. Phelps Elementary School
School Profile
The Benjamin J. Phelps neighborhood elementary school is located at 689 Main Street
and houses grades K— 4. The primary function of the school is to provide an excellent
education for all of its 378 students. The Benjamin J. Phelps School staff and the entire
school community strive to provide our children with a safe, positive and academically
rich learning environment that will enable each student to acquire the knowledge, skills
and values required to meet with academic success and achieve their maximum potential
as learners and responsible individuals. The highly dedicated staff at Phelps School
fosters the belief that all children build a positive attitude toward learning and themselves
through their individual achievements, no matter what their ability level or differences.
The staff works cooperatively to recognize and teach to varied learning styles and to
utilize all available resources to help each student meet their maximum potential.
Accomplishments
1. The Benjamin J. Phelps Instructional Support Team has continued to be a resource for
classroom teachers with issues regarding student behavior and/or academics. The
team has been successful in aiding teachers to modify their curriculum as well as
offering new strategies to better meet the needs of their students.
2. Professional Learning Community meetings are held monthly at Benjamin J. Phelps
School. These meetings focus on specific issues such as differentiated instruction,
literacy, MCAS, math curriculum and budget. These meetings allow teachers to
exchange ideas and strategies that will enhance their teaching effectiveness and
consequently better meet the needs of their students.
3. The Benjamin J. Phelps Book Closet continues to expand in quantity as well as
variety. Teachers are utilizing the Book Closet with increasing frequency. As a
result, Phelps students are being provided with literacy enrichment at their particular
level of reading ability. Training is ongoing in Guided Reading for third and fourth
grade teachers and classroom libraries are being upgraded.
4. A goal of the Benjamin J. Phelps School Improvement Plan is to continue to provide
a safe learning environment. Two-way radios are used at outdoor recess. School
safety procedures are reviewed and reinforced each year. Input from the school
community is welcomed. The anti-bullying program continues to be in effect. All
doors of the school are locked during the day. A security camera and
intercom_ /buzzer system allow for monitoring all those who enter the building.
Second Step and Steps to Respect are two anti-violence programs being implemented
yearly.
-1-
5. The Literacy Collaborative {HEC) has continued literacy training. Teachers have
received instruction in areas such as the DRA., Word Walls, Guided Reading as well
as the Fountas Phonics Program. Teachers have been implementing these programs
into their classrooms. Training for 3rd and 0 grade teachers in areas such as Reading
and Writing Workshops is continuing.
6. The Agawam School System has implemented a new website this year which gives
parents and community members easy access to information on school events,
procedures, policies, newsletters, meeting minutes and more. In addition, all teachers
have email accounts. Directions on how they can be contacted are found on the
faculty page of the website. All of the above improves home/school communication.
7. Teachers in all grade levels utilize the Agawam Model when teaching writing. The
rubrics of the model provide students with specific indicators of what is expected of
them in their writing efforts.
8. Literacy continues to be a focal area at Phelps. Our Accelerated Reader Program has
been a very successful undertaking. We have completed our fifth annual Read-a-thon
sponsored by the PTO. Prizes are awarded to those students who have a high level of
participation during the six-week period. We have continued our Read-Aloud activity
where older students read to younger students. Our school literacy team continues to
be effective with strategies promoting literacy activities.
. 9. Our Phelps School Improvement Council has worked very hard to establish goals and
establish priorities to promote student learning and achievement. The Council also
promotes the idea of School Community,
14. Our Benjamin J. Phelps School PTO continues to be a vital ingredient to the success
of our school. Their support of school programs that enhance our curriculum is
greatly appreciated by staff and students. They also provide all funding for school
programs that serve to enrich our students. Our PTO graciously designed and
purchased a school sign that enhances our school's physical appearance.
11. Our DLC (Developmental Learning Center) programs continue to offer a quality
educational setting for those students in the Agawam school district who need a
small-group structured classroom setting. The two programs (Grade 1-2 and 3-4) are
designed to meet the myriad needs of those students in order for them to achieve
success in school.
12. The Project S.E.E. (Gifted and Talented) Program is a successful program designed to
provide enrichment for a small group of fourth graders.
13. Benjamin J. Phelps School has been successful in creating and maintaining a positive
home-school connection. Our Phelps Publication is eagerly anticipated by parents. It
is sent to parents three time a year with the report cards and is also posted on the
i

website. Events such as Family Fun Night (kick-off to the Read-A-Thon), Ice cream
Sundae Night, in addition to our Spring Concert highlight the sense of school
community. Our Month of Giving at the Holidays also promotes a sense of
community spirit between Phelps and the community at large.
14. Our Kindergartens have successfully attained accreditation through the NAEYC
Program and have maintained it as well.

ROBINSON PARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
School Profile
The Robinson Park Elementary School, which utilizes the neighborhood school
philosophy, is located at 65 Begley Street, and houses approximately 420 students in
grades K—4. The safe learning environment at Robinson Park School provides
educational opportunities that inspire students to become successful, lifelong learners. At
Robinson Park School we encourage the development of independent and creative
thinking in our students in order to prepare them to become productive citizens, ready to
respond to our ever-changing world. We believe that learning and knowledge should be
appreciated, valued, and supported by students, teachers,parents and members of the
community. As our motto states, Robinson Park School is the Idea Place: where
learning, imaginations and friendships grow!
Accomplishments
1. All kindergarten through grade four teachers have been receiving training through
The Literacy Collaborative Instructional Model. To date, teachers in kindergarten
through grade two have been completely trained in the use of all components of
the model,including Word Walls, the Fountas and Pinnell Phonics program, the
use of the DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment), guided reading practices
and writing workshop in the classroom. Third and fourth grade teachers have been
receiving training for the past two years. They currently are completing DRAs
three times a year and are implementing the guided reading portions of the model.
Training continues on the writing workshop process.
2. The Book Closet continues to grow and is now being used regularly by all
teachers. Through the years we have put a focus on making our Book Closet a
model for the entire district. At this time we are working at enhancing the non-
fiction selections in the closet to meet the needs of the science and social studies
components of the curriculum.
3. The teachers at Robinson have been utilizing the Agawam writing rubrics at each
grade level to provide students with clear expectations in writing instructions as
well as guidelines for student self assessment. Many teachers have received
additional training on developing and using rubrics for other areas of the
curriculum.
4. The Robinson Park School Instructional Support Team continues to provide an
avenue for teachers to bring forward student concerns around academic and
behavioral issues. By developing District Curriculum Accommodation Plans
(DCAP), we have been successful in helping teachers to modify their classroom
management plans and curriculum to better meet the needs of some of their more
challenging students.
5. The Project SEE gifted and talented program has been beneficial in bringing a
well-balanced enhancement program to some of our fourth grade students.
6. In the area of literacy, our LIFE(Literacy Is Family Entertainment) program is
off to another successful year. This program has been very well received by
students and their families. The PTO has been gracious enough to
fully fund this endeavor throughout the year.
7. Our school newsletter continues to be another avenue for families to be kept up to
date on happening here at Robinson Park School. It has been helpful in improving
the home/school communication. Currently a weekly newsletter is sent home from
the PTO and a monthly letter is sent home from the principal.
8. Safety has been a focus of our school improvement council. The building remains
locked at all times. Two-way radios are used on the playground. We are currently
awaiting the installation of a security camera and speaker for the front door. This
year the city put in a new access road through Shea Field allowing us a one-way
traffic pattern through our parking lot. With this access road we instituted a new
dismissal procedure which makes our dismissal much more safe for all students.
9. The Adelphi Committee has had a very busy year. They have continued some of
the old traditions, such as Red Letter Day and the Giving and Sharing program.
The fourth grade student representatives on the committee that were elected by
their classmates have brought a whole new dimension to this group. With them
we have begun some exciting events that promise to become school traditions in
the near future.
10. We continue to teach the Second Step curriculum program. We also began a new
campaign with the students that focuses on "The RPS Way, Be Responsible, Be
Polite, and Be Safe". These rules are emphasized by all staff members throughout
each day. Each month a new character trait is talked about on the daily messages.
Students can earn tickets from any staff member for showing that they are
responsible, polite and safe. Each month a drawing is held from the student ticket
entries at each grade level and the winner from each grade is treated to "Lunch
With the Principal". First and second grade winners have lunch delivered and they
eat in a special dining area with the principal. The third and fourth grade winners
accompany the principal to Partners Restaurant. Kindergarten students win
"Snack With the Principal". This program has helped to develop good behavior
qualities in our students.
11. Our monthly staff meetings continue to center on professional development. This
year we continue to focus on how to differentiate classroom instruction.
12. The school improvement council has established a parent survey that is geared at
examining different aspects of our school and to determine those that parents find
successful as well as to define future areas for further enhancement. Through the
hard work of this committee, Robinson Park School continues to grow and
enhance the lives of our students.
13. The PTO has a student program review committee. This committee looks at
cultural and educational programs and has selected many wonderful in school
programs for the students this year. The Robinson Park School PTO deserves
many thanks for their hard work and continued support for bringing our school
programs that enrich our curriculum and the lives of our students.

Mission
The mission of the Agawam Junior High School is to continue the best education possible
for each student according to his or her individual needs, abilities, and interests. The
school will work to collaborate with parents and community members to develop
responsible adolescents who demonstrate respect for themselves and others. We strive to
provide a safe and positive environment that will motivate students to reach their
maximum potential and become life long learners.
Accomplishments
The Agawam Junior High School developed a new website and trained staff on creating
their own personal web pages. This continued emphasis on the use of technology helped
improve communication between home and school, delivery of instruction in the
classroom, and allowed for access to cutting edge information learning. The site also
researched and made recommendations for a new student information system that will
make the school more efficient in accessing and inputting student data and information.
Staff will be able to use this new system to gain data that will improve the quality of
instruction and lesson planning based on students' needs and abilities.
The safety of the building continued to improve through procedural changes in policy and
function. Security cameras were installed in the rear of the building as an added measure
of surveillance. In addition, new procedures were implemented for all visitors entering
the school. School Lanyards were purchased and students were required to wear them at
school.
Agawam Junior High developed a Teaming Committee to research and explore different
teaming models in hopes of implementing this model in 2009-2010. Eight members
visited several schools in the area and researched different models on-line, through
technical manuals and through observation and interviews. A synopsis of their work will
be presented to the Superintendent during the course of the school year.
Endeavors
In conjunction with the school department committee for No Child Left Behind Initiative,
3 p
The Agawam Junior High School began the 2007-2008 school year with two full
professional development programs. Teachers 21 provided training and instruction to the
staff on best practices in differentiated instruction. Also the staff received training on
new software programs for staff to access student IEP's on line.
Under the direction of assistant principal, Michael Donovan, our district accommodation
plans (DCAP), 504 Plans and Instructional Support Team have assisted the staff to meet
the educational needs of our students. Through the efforts of these plans and groups,
gains have been made for the students,parents and staff.
We will continue to keep our focus on improving the delivery of carried curriculums.
Efforts will be trade to provide a well-balanced curriculum taught by highly qualified
instructors with the smallest class sizes the budget will allow.
Realizing the need to educate the "whole child", Agawam Junior High School also
developed activities that allowed students to participate in outside of the classroom. In
addition to existing clubs such as Non-Users, Ski, and Drama, the junior high also formed
a fitness club to help focus on healthy lifestyles and activities. A student ambassadors
program was also created to gain, student interest and input into school activities and
decisions. School dances, class competitions and community service projects were
• developed based on their efforts.

transition planning when eligible students turn 16 and coordinates its activities with adult service
agencies including the Department of Mental Health, the Department of Mental Retardation, the
Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, and the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind.
Program Highlights and Accomplishments
1, As measured by the Spring 2007 MCAS Core Proficiency Index, Agawam students with
disabilities scored above the state-wide average for students with disabilities in the
following grades and subjects:
3" Grade Mathematics
0 Grade English Language Arts and Mathematics
51h Grade Mathematics and SciencelTecluiology
61h Grade Mathematics
7th Grade English Language Arts and Mathematics
81h Grade English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science/Technology
2. The percentage of students identified as eligible for special education or related services as
compared to the total public school enrollment for school years 04, 05, 06, 07, and 08 were
18%, 17%, 16%, and 15.2% and 14%respectively, indicating that an increasing proportion
of the school population is developing the skills necessary to make effective progress in the
general education curriculum.
3. Last year,the district's Primary Preventionists served 75 students who were one or more
standard deviations below the district mean in reading and/or math. One year after exiting
the program 52 students are still in the general education program. Two years after exiting
the program, 17 of the 32 students served by the Primary Preventionist in 2005 are still in
the general education program.
4. Two additional special educators were added to the inclusion program at Jr. High and one
additional special educator was added to the inclusion program at Agawam High School. At
the secondary level, over 80%of students with disabilities now receive all of their
instruction in core content areas from content area specialists.
5. Renovations are underway on the Middle School Autism Classroom.
6. In collaboration with other members of the Lower Pioneer Valley Educational Collaborative,
the district hired a Lindamood-Bell coach to support its elementary Language Based
Programs.
7. In collaboration with other members of the Lower Pioneer'Talley Educational Collaborative,
the district obtained a grant to provide consultation and materials to support the
implementation of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports(PBIS) in three district
schools (Granger, Robinson, Middle School).
8. To minimize the time needed for recoupment of skills in the fall,the Department of Special
Services provided Extended Year Services (ESY) for more than 100 students at risk for
substantial regression during the summer break.
9. The Department of Special Services established a Professional Learning Community for
Speech and Language Services. The PLC has defined entrance and exit criteria for students
receiving speech or language therapy services.
10.The Department of Special Services has trained all staff in the use of an on-line IEP
information system so that all staff can now access student IEP's at any time.
New Initiatives for Fiscal Year 2009
1. Increase the number of schools implementing PBIS by training the staff at Clark, Phelps,
and Jr. High.
2. Create new autism programs at Granger and Agawam High School,
3. Establish a Lindamood-Bell Professional Learning Community.
4. Plan and facilitate at least one Inclusive Schools Week celebration in each district school.
The celebrations will highlight the progress of our district's schools in employing inclusive
0 practices to ensure a quality education for an increasingly diverse student population.
