'FY 'I I Budget Message
April 27, 2010
Introduction
Agawam Public Schools continues to grapple with the realities of declining federal, state, and local
revenues. The list of unfunded state and federal mandates for school districts puts an extraordinary
burden and level of responsibility on school districts to educate students in 2011 with no financial
commitment. While Chapter 70 funding has been reduced, federal stimulus money continues to fill the
gap;however this money is short term.This federal stimulus money is being utilized to build long-term
capacity for district inititaves including professional development and technology.
In FT 10, Agawam Public Schools received $1,382,649 from the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund
(SFSF) in the form of ARRA(American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) funds. School districts were
allowed to utilize this funding over a 27-month period. As the result of conservative spending, the
district will carry forward$550,000 of this$1,382,649 to the FY'11 School Budget.
Developing a School Budget that continues to move the district forward during this turbulent economic
time 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 2010, and since that time, numerous
meetings with principals, directors, teachers, instructional coaches, school councils, school committee
members, and town officials have taken place. In addition to the above meetings, four Budget
Workshops were conducted on the following dates with the school committee, city council, and
administration to review various budget reduction proposals:
a March 2, 2010
• March 16, 2010
• March 23, 2010
March 30, 2010
This recommended FY 11 School Budget does not include any salary increases for any school
employees. Per the contractual agreements between the School Committee and the Agawam
Education Association and AFSCME Local 827, this budget includes contractual step increases for the
' above mentioned union members for FT 11 in the amount of$445,000, which represents an overall
increase of 1.31%.
Page 1
" Put Children First"
This recommended FY'11 School Budget also includes reductions in the amount of$832,649. The
impact of these reductions is as follows:
➢ Eliminate position of Assistant Superintendent for Business/Human Resources and replace with
a Director of Finance/Human Resources.
➢ Increase duties and responsibilities for Director of Finance/Human Resources with no additonal
increase in salary.
➢ Reorganize Central Office secretarial staff.
➢ Consolidate Junior High School and Senior High School library secretarial staff.
➢ Eliminate student intramurals at Middle,Junior, and Senior High Schools.
➢ Reduce late busses for students from 4 days per week to 2 days per week.
➢ Reduce all building based budgets for supplies and materials by 7%.
➢ Reduce Director of Athletics, Physical Education, and Student Activities from 12-month
position to a 10-month position, (200 day work year).
➢ Reduce 1.0 elementary physical education position to a .8 position.
➢ Eliminate 1.0 elementary teaching position at Robinson Park School due to low enrollment
(Grade 3 = 22)
➢ Eliminate 1.0 elementary teaching position at Clark.School due to low enrollment
➢ (Grade 3 = 22)
➢ Eliminate 1.0 Sa' grade teaching position at Middle School due to low enrollment
➢ (Grade 5 =23-24)
➢ Eliminate 1.0 Instructional Technology retiree position and increase a .5 Math teacher to 1.0 at
High School.
➢ Reduce School Committee legal services.
➢ Reduce staff professional development.
➢ Reduce substitute salary line item.
➢ Eliminate mentor stipend and data warehouse stipend in regular budget and fund in Title IIA
grant.
➢ Eliminate insurance transfer to town.
This budget does include a recommendation to replace the following 15.8 positions, vacant due to
retirements:
✓ 12.8 teachers
V 1 high school counselor
+� 1 Director of Athletics,Physical Education,and'Student Activities
✓ 1 Special Education secretary
In developing this budget, I remain committed to prioritizing our district goals and formulating a
budget that is fiscally responsible, but sufficient to keep our schools moving forward to prepare our
students for the future. We also have been fortunate in receiving federal, state, and private grants
totaling $4,680,542 that supplement staffing and programs throughout our school district.
During these difficult fiscal times, our entire staff and administration remains committed to teaching
and learning. I believe this is evidenced by our continued gains in student achievment as well as in the
numerous programs,which we continue to offer to our students such as athletics,visual and
performing arts,Project S.E.E.,NovaNet,VHS,and specialized programs for our special needs
students.

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 Richard Cohen; Town Treasurer Laurel
Placzek; Patti Cavanaugh; Renee Jury; William Sapelli; and the school committee's Budget/Finance

JAMES CLARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
65 OXFORD STREET
AGAWAM, MA.01001
PROFILE
The 2010 — 2011 academic school year will see Clark School undergoing a face lift.
There have been many positive changes that are occurring and make us proud to be part
of the staff. It is a one floor structure, that appears to be nestled in a country setting,
offers much excitement on the inside. Our current enrollment stands at 368. There are
three kindergartens, three first grades, three second grades, four third grades and four
fourth grades. Clark School houses the Intensive Resource Room for the district and the
SIP program which is also a district program. We are located at 65 Oxford Street in
Agawam and we celebrated our fiftieth birthday parry in 2007. Our students (K — 4) are
encouraged to be respectful caring citizens who strive to reach their potential both
academically and socially. Students need to be responsible for their learning while they
receive respect for their individuality. We take pride in our CLARK keys for success
(Choose your words, Like yourself, Accept differences, Respect your school, Kindness is
key). Clark is undertaking some new initiatives and activities this year that I will explain
under our accomplishments. We have a wonderful group of children and the staff works
extremely hard in providing differentiated instruction to accommodate all learning styles.
Our goal is to achieve optimal success for all of our students through a well-rounded
education that will prepare them for society. Collaboration, Caring, Collegiality and
Cooperation are key to making our youngsters valuable community members.
Page 29
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
L All teachers have had extensive training in literacy and utilize this information
to provide a well balanced literacy program in their classroom. The
assessments that are key are the DIBELS, the BAS,the GRADE, the Aims
Web (Kindergarten) running records and the math benchmark assessments.
2. Literacy continues to be of critical importance at Clark School. Guided
reading groups, the Fountas &Pinnell phonics program, Writer's Workshop,
the word wall, the book closet, are strategies and resources used to provide a
solid literacy program.
3. The book closet is constantly being replenished We still need some non-
fiction books on the third and fourth grade level. Our goal is to enhance
science and social studies understanding through the additional books being
added.
4. LIFE meetings are still an integral part of Clark School. The staff put on at
least two evening pays for the parents and children, This is extremely well
received.
5. Our School Improvement Council sponsors a "Reader of the Month"from
each classroom. They are also running three Math nights throughout the year.
Parents and children attend as a family and play math games. The hope is that
this activity will enhance math skills and provide a better understanding of
"Investigations" to the parents.
6. A School Improvement Council Survey was sent home in December to solicit
parental suggestions for school improvement at Clark School..
7. Our Student Council meets twice a month and they will be donating $1,000.00
to the Shriners hospital this year. Community Service is key to preparing our
students for life long activities.
8. Our fabulous PTO continues to sponsor field trips and cultural programs for
our students. What a great deal of hard work they do? We couldn't survive
without them.
9. Our staff meetings, our PLC's, our grade-level meetings and our District
PLCS keep communication open and center on the use of data to drive
curriculum,
10. With the help of our new Instructional Coaches we are able to review MCAS
scores more thoroughly and with meaning. The literacy coaches assist with
guided reading & writer's workshop. We will be looking at a new writing
program for Grades K—6,
11. Our RTI blocks have been up and running since early November.
Intervention and enrichment groups provide the student exactly what is
needed for growth.
Page 30
12. Our crisis team has been meeting to write an evacuation plan that will be in
place in case of a natural disaster. Safety still is one of our concerns and there
are changes that continue to be made.
13. Our IST team provides a place where staff can go to get assistance for a
student who may be experiencing more than a small amount of difficulty.
14. Our PBIS structure continues to be an integral part of our school. It clearly
enhances positive behavior and places more responsibility on the children.
15. Communication is clearly an integral part of any school grogram. Newsletters
from the PTO and the Principal help to keep the lines open.
I& We continue to have a language based program on each grade level (1 —4)
and two district programs (SIP and Intensive Resource Room).
17. We offer enrichment programs three times a year through InspireWorks.
Classes offer a great variety of activities.
18. Our Kindergarten classes continue to hold NAEYC certification.
19. Each month, Character awards are given to one student in each classroom who
demonstrates strength in the selected area.
20. A science fair is held each year in March for any student wishing to
participate.
Page 31
GOALS
1. Purchase "peaceful playground77 kit to help enhance our recess time. PE
teacher will assist in modeling games. Student Council will purchase this.
2. Work with MCAS practice questions (provided by coaches) to better prepare
our students for 2009—2010 MCAS.
3. Continue to analyze data for RTI blocks to make them run smoother as well as
provide success for the children.
4. K— 12 choose a writing program for grades.
5. Work on improving AYP (MCAS) in the Title One subgroup for 2010—2011
academic year.
6. Continue to offer support to parents for better math understanding. Three
math nights will be offered this year.
7. Work more consistently on "Recovering Responsibility" program(this is a
positive approach to internal suspension).
8. Offer more PD on autism and any other disability that warrants more
information.
9. Add a building Data PLC to discuss how data should be used and why.
10. Continue to have the District PLCS by grade level with a concentration on
literacy and math.
11. Continue with the next level of our PBIS and Study Data to make
improvements.

Introduction
The Clifford M. Granger School was built In 1949 with a large"all-electric addition" constructed In
1964. Mr.Clifford M. Granger was a public spirited loyal citizen whose primary interest in life was
service to others,the building of"strong moral, high affitudes, ideals of American citizenship and
worthy accomplishment." He served as a member of the school committee between the years of
1914-1946-for 32 years!
Our school is located in the Feeding Hills section of the city and is situated on the corner of South
Westfield and Springfield Streets.Its most recent renovation occurred In 1995 and included a new
library/media center, large kindergarten rooms,and technologically wired classrooms. In 2007 two
modular classrooms were added to support special education programming.
At the Clifford M.Granger School we hold high expectations for the success and achievement of
all our 312 children, Kindergarten-Grade 4.We are an enthusiastic and close-knit school
community dedicated to providing a quality Instructional program for our students.The Granger
staff works diligently to foster a positive school climate that ensures a child's opportunity to gain
knowledge, develop self-esteem,and be motivated to attend and achieve.Our staff strives to
foster individual initiative and build a network of open communication and teamwork between
students, parents and staff.

Accomplfshmenfs
The Clifford M.Granger School tries to focus on its educational goals in an environment that is
nurturing, loving, and caring.
We use a balanced literacy language arts program to integrate instruction in reading and writing
across the curriculum areas.
Enrichment activities are integrated throughout the course of study in every class as well as through
our intervenfion/enrichment blocks at each grade level.
Our MCAS scores demonstrate significant improvements and positive growth In both ELA and
Mathematics.
Page 38
Granger School uses a standards based educational program. The classroom Instruction makes It
very clear what is expected of the children in their work.
Staff consistently utilize district-wide and teacher-made formative and summative assessments to
assess student growth, determine resource selections and guide their daily instruction.
This year the building initiated a Response to Intervention(Rtl) model. Rti is a three-tier(or three-
step)prevention,early identification and intervention/enrichment strategy provided in general
education. The learning of ALL students is assessed early and often. Rtl refers to a process that
emphasizes how well students respond to changes in instruction. Rtl uses standards-aligned and
research-based interventions at increasing levels of intensity to support students who struggle with
reading and math and to help them reach state standards. Rtl depends on a strong,standards-
aligned,research-based core curriculum(the"general education curriculum")and school-wide
behavior program(our PBIS). Perhaps the most important benefit of an Rtl approach is that It is not
a "wait to fail" model because students get help promptly in the general education setting.
At the Clifford M.Granger School,ALL students(grades 1-4, Kindergarten will start in late February)
have the opportunity to get help or extension at the level needed in general education classes,
potentially significantly reducing the number of students referred for special education services. In
the Rtl model,students who continue to struggle are referred for a special education evaluation
and data from the Rtl process can be used in the eligibility determination.
The school continues to use the Second Steps approach to building climate and discipline.
Children are expected to follow the rules.Teachers are trained to respond quickly when children
choose not to follow school rules.
The school is in its third year Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports model{PSIS)
Implementation in order to maximize opportunities for students to achieve social competence and
increase academic achievement. The school has developed a common purpose and approach
to discipline, has a clear set of positive expectations and behaviors,has developed procedures for
teaching expected behaviors,has a continuum of procedures for encouraging expected behavior
and discouraging inappropriate behavior as well as procedures for on-going monitoring and
evaluation. in our third year we are seeing a 60%improvement in the reduction of office referralsl
The Granger School Motto: At Granger School we-
Respect ourselves,
Respect others,
Respect learning and
Respect the environment.
Music,art,technology/engineering, health and physical education programs are provided weekly
to all students.
The Language Based Classroom model is being implemented to expand the school's capacity in
regular education innovations. Language Based Instruction Model Classrooms have been
established in grades 3 and 4.
A Gifted and Talented Program, Project S.E.E.is in place on the fourth grade level.
There is a continued effort to explore more and more opportunities for parent and community
Involvement in order to improve communication between school and home. Activities include:
Classroom/library volunteers An active P.T.O.
Christmas Caroling The Dod's Supper
Annual Family Picnic Back-To-School Night
Monthly Granger Gazette Newsletter Agendas for grades 3&4
Game Night Annual Art Show
Parent Coffees with the Principal Holiday Party
Book Fair Parent/Teacher Conferences
Page 39
The Granger School Instructional Support Team has continued to be a great resource to classroom
teachers with regard to student concerns. The team is successful in brainstorming
accommodations and modifications to the curriculum as well as determine supplemental or
Intervention strategies to support student learning.
Teachers continue to take advantage of many professional development opportunities to Improve
their repertoire of strategies especially In the area of Technology.
Handwriting Without Tears implemented in grades X -4 continues to improve student handwriting
and reducing referrals to Occupational Therapy.
School Council assists the principal In adopting educational goals for the school that are consistent
with local educational policies and statewide student performance standards,
identifying the educational needs of students attending the school,reviewing the annual school
building budget and formulating a school improvement plan.
Lost year the council collaborated with staff,parents and the community to develop a mission
statement for the school. It was published, displayed In the lobby and classrooms,and is now our
daily compass by which everyone Connected with the school assumes responsibility for the
school's ultimate direction.
The council also developed a parent handbook detailing specifics to the Clifford M. Granger
School and continue the monthly Coffee With the Principal sessions to increase home/school
communication on topics of interest.
the Granger School P.T.O.deserves thanks for continued support for all activities and In-house
enrichment programs and for supporting teachers by purchasing materials and always
appreciating their hard work through their Teacher Appreciation Activities.

Benjamin J._Phelps Elementary School
School Profile
2010-2011
The Benjamin J. Phelps neighborhood elementary school is located at 689 Main Street
and houses grades K—4. Here at Benjamin J. Phelps School we seek to build basic skills
in literacy, numeracy, science, social studies, the arts, wellness, democratic ideals, and
civility for all of our 375 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 collaboratively to recognize and teach to varied learning styles and to
utilize all available resources to help each student meet herlhis maximum potential.
Accomplishments
I. The implementation of a Response to Intervention (RtI) approach provides a
systemic and timely response to students' needs. All students are provided
differentiated instruction. Supplementary supports and services in the form of
enrichment and/or academic and behavioral interventions are provided to students
based on data collection and analysis. It provides staff with a systemized way to
identify a need and develop an intervention as well as "progress monitor" a
student's response to the intervention. It is a"Problem Finding", "Goal Setting",
"Problem Solving", and "Data Gathering" approach to ensure that all students'
needs are met.
2. Beginning September 2009, a new school schedule was instituted with the aim of
achieving a well-crafted elementary schedule that effectively uses time, space, and
resources to improve the quality of school time. Within this schedule there is an
Intervention/Enrichment(I/E)block of time. This IIE block provides time for
short-term instructional interventions, practice, reinforcement, re-teaching, special
services, and various forms of enrichment. Personnel that may be available during
this time to provide small group and/or individual intervention include Reading
Specialist, Primary Preventionist, Lindamood-Bell Instructor, Speech/Language
Pathologist, Special Educator, Intensive Math Instructor, Occupational Therapist,
Enrichment Teacher, English as a Second Language Teacher as well as the
Classroom Teacher. This block of time allows for the interventions/enrichments
without students having to miss new instruction and fall further behind.
Page 44
3. Benjamin J. Phelps School has adopted a School-wide Positive Behavioral
Intervention and Support program (PBIS). It is a systems approach for
establishing the social culture and behavioral supports needed for a school to be an
effective learning environment for all students. It is a preventative approach that
defines and teaches positive social expectations and acknowledges positive
behavior. It is "Cool to be Respectful, Responsible and Safe" at Phelps School.
The School-wide Information System (SWIS) is used to track office discipline
referrals (QDR's). The data collected in SWIS is disaggregated by problem
behavior, location, time, student, and staff. SWIS provides comprehensive reports
that are utilized to make decisions regarding environmental as well as individual
interventions.
4. Professional Learning Community (PLC) meetings are held regularly at Benjamin
J. Phelps School. These meetings focus on student achievement data and the data-
based decision making necessary to improve instruction and learning. These
meetings allow teachers to exchange ideas and strategies that will enhance their
teaching effectiveness and consequently better meet the needs of their students.
Beginning the 2009/2010 school year, district-wide grade-level PLCs have been
meeting monthly. This provides the opportunity for all grade-level teachers to
meet and discuss curriculum and instruction leading to greater consistency among
the elementary schools.
5. MCAS improvement continues to be a focus at the Benjamin J. Phelps School.
Literacy coaches and math coaches have been supporting this effort. Weekly
MCAS practice is occurring at the third and fourth grade levels. A group of
students has been identified via data to receive a MCAS intervention during the I/E
block of time. Monthly meetings are taking place with coaches, teachers, and
principal to review data and develop strategies for improvement. School-wide
PLC time has been used to review strands and look for ways to improve instruction
in weaker areas. All grade levels are involved in the process of improving MCAS
scores.
6. The addition of four (4) 1/2 day Professional Development Days as well as having
Math and Literacy coaches has provided the organizational support for change
and/or further development. Follow-up support for ideas and practices introduced
or deepened during in-service programs is critical to sustainable professional
development. "If an inservice is solely comprised of providing for theoretical
understanding, demonstration, and initial practice, fewer than 10 percent of the
teachers will be able to engage in enough practice to add the new procedures to
1 their repertoires (Joyce and Showers)." Having coaches provides teachers the
ongoing support needed to apply and practice the classroom practices introduced.
7. We continued to build the Benjamin J. Phelps Book Closet to support our literacy
program. Teachers continue to use the Fountas and Pinnel Benchmark Assessment
System, a teaching and assessment tool. Through this assessment procedure,
Page 45
i
student reading levels are identified and books are selected per the instructional
level. The BAS (Benchmark Assessment System) levels have been matched to
books in the book closet. Over 5,000 additional leveled reader books have been
added to the Book Closet this school year.
8. 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. All doors of the
ischool are locked during the day. A security camera and intercom/buzzer system
allow for monitoring all those who enter the building through the front door.
Meetings occur with community safety members, i.e., a Parent Reunification
TableTop activity was held this past year with DPW, Fire, Police, and Emergency
Management. A Parent Reunification plan was developed for Benjamin J. Phelps
School and was communicated to parents. Second Step and Steps to Respect are
two anti-violence programs being implemented yearly.
9. The PBIS anti-bullying program was introduced this year. Teachers and students
were taught the language and the steps to addressing intimidating behavior (Tell
them to Stop, Walk Away, and Talk.) It is a universal response that a student is
taught to use when he/she feels unsafe, threatened, uncomfortable, or harassed (not
only in bullying situations.) It is a school-wide intervention to encourage
bystander power—when you observe a situation that warrants the Stop, Walk, Talk
method you don't just ignore the inappropriate behavior, you take a stand and
intervene to try to stop it.
10. A comprehensive and balanced literacy model continues to be implemented
providing guided, shared and independent reading and writing as well as
vocabulary and word study instruction. Writing prompts have been introduced at
each grade level with rubrics developed to assess the student writing. Teachers
have been reviewing the rubrics together during district-wide grade-level PLCs.
The addition of Literacy Coach positions this school year has provided for ongoing
professional development for staff in the implementation of balanced literacy
strategies. These coaches have provided additional training to small groups of
teachers as well as individually to a teacher. They have gone into classrooms to
model strategies as well as to help implement strategies. These coaches have also
trained teachers in new programs for use as interventions during the I/E block.
11. The Agawam School System's website continues to give parents and community
members' easy access to information on school events, procedures, policies,
newsletters, meeting minutes, and more. Additionally, the Benjamin J. Phelps
school link provides information specific to Phelps school, teachers email
accounts, and teacher websites. A monthly newsletter, The Penguin Press,
provides parents with information regarding school activities. All of the above
improves home/school communication.
' Page 46
12. The Agawam School System student information system allows our school to
collect, manage, and analyze data. We now have a centralized source (or
interconnected sources) of data that is/are used for the instructional and/or
operational needs of our school and district. Data management and analysis are
vital to the functioning of our school.
13. Our Phelps School Improvement Council has worked very hard to establish goals
P P ry
and establish priorities to promote student learning and achievement. A survey for
teachers and parents was used in the formation of the School Improvement Plan.
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. Additionally, their support
and acknowledgement of the work that the staff performs is greatly appreciated.
15. Our Developmental Learning Center (DLC) program continues to offer a quality
educational setting and behavioral supports for those students in the Agawam
school district whose behavior needs have interfered with their ability to be
educated in their neighborhood schools. The DLC program, serving Grades 1 —4,
is designed to meet the myriad needs of those students in order for them to achieve
success in school.
16. Benjamin J. Phelps School has been successful in creating and maintaining a
positive home-school connection. A couple of additional Family Night events
were added this 2009/2010 school year. Families came together to create a Family
Tree and then the children were treated to the video "A Charlie Brown's
Thanksgiving" while parents attended a workshop on effective limit setting. A
Family Math Night also was initiated this school year. An early American theme
was utilized to integrate both math and history and make for a fun, educational
evening. Events such as Family Fun Night (kick-off to the Read-A-Thon), Ice
cream Sundae Night, and our annual Spring Concert continued. Support for our
Month of Giving at the Holidays continued to promote a sense of community spirit
between Phelps and the community at large.
14. Benjamin J. Phelps School received an unannounced Verification Visit from the
National Association for the Education of Young Children. A couple of
kindergarten classrooms were observed and some paperwork verified. Phelps
school successfully maintained its accreditation through the NAEYC Program.
15. The Benjamin J. Phelps Instructional Support Team (IST) 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 implement new
strategies to enhance the success of their students. A number of staff members are
receiving training in conducting Functional Behavioral Assessments and in
developing appropriate Behavior Intervention Plans. This will strengthen the
ability of the IST to be of assistance to teachers.

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 375 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. At Robinson Park School we follow the RPS Way, where students learn to
be responsible, be polite, and be safe!
We employ a highly qualified staff of teachers and paraprofessionals that set high
expectations for themselves and for students. Collaboration between all staff is an
expectation, not an option. The results of this model are evident in the methods and
practices that are used in our classrooms on a daily basis. Student achievement is our
main goal; healthy and happy students are our result.
There are many people that make up the Robinson Park School family and without the
efforts of the group as a whole our success would be short lived. We rely upon not only
our teachers and paraprofessionals, but all of our support staff, our most friendly school
secretary, our cafeteria staff, our fine custodial staff, the many people from special
services, the central office administration and support staff, our numerous volunteers, and
our very supportive parents. Together we work to meet the needs of all students and to
provide them with a safe, comfortable learning environment that will enrich their lives
both academically and socially.
Accomplishments
1. Over the past few years we have trained our staff on the use of balanced literacy
practices. Teachers utilize an extensive Book Closet to teach reading in their
classrooms. Reading levels are established by administering the Benchmark
Assessment System(BAS) three times each year. In addition to the BAS testing,
we are administering the GRADE reading assessment each fall and spring to
measure growth throughout the year.
2. In addition to assessments given in reading we also administer district-wide
writing prompts in the fall, winter, and spring. These prompts mirror the MCAS
Long Composition and have been able to help guide teachers with their daily
writing instruction throughout the year. Scoring rubrics that were developed in
years past are being refined at this year's district-wide grave level PLC meetings.
Page 51
Teachers have found these new meetings to be very beneficial in helping to bring
about a more closely aligned district curriculum in writing.
3. Through federal stimulus funding, the district has been able to hire both literacy
and math coaches. These coaches have made it possible for teachers to partake in
numerous professional development opportunities. The coaches have made
themselves available to all teachers to model lessons and share best practices and
resources. This has been a welcomed addition and teachers have been very
receptive to these new district treasures.
4. This year we have begun to implement a true Response To Intervention (RtI)
model at Robinson Park School. This required a new schedule for all classes that
went into effect in September. This new schedule allowed us to have a separate
Intervention/Enrichment (I/E) Block at each grade level. During this I/E
Block all students at that grade level receive some form of intervention or
enrichment based upon decisions made at data team meetings where all assessment
data is reviewed three times a year. This has eliminated the need for students to be
pulled away from instructional class time to receive regular and special education
services (Title 1, speech & language, counseling, etc.). We believe that all
students will benefit from this model; including students that need to be
challenged with the regular curriculum.
5. The new teacher evaluation tool is now in its second year of the pilot throughout
the district. Again, we have found that this new tool affords teachers and
administration the opportunity for rich discussion focused on student learning and
ultimately student achievement. We are hopeful that this tool will become a
permanent part of the teacher contract by year's end.
6. This year is our third year of implementing the Positive Behavioral Intervention
Support Program(PBIS). Our school motto is "The RPS Way: Be Responsible, Be
Polite, and Be Safe". These rules are emphasized by all staff members throughout
each day. Last year students voted on a new school mascot and this year we
introduced Robbie, the Robinson Park Eagle. Along with the mascot, we initiated
a new incentive of"eagle Earning" tickets. Students continue to save tickets for
different school rewards; including Lunch With the Principal sponsored by
Partners Restaurant and The Pizza Guy.
I 7. The school improvement council works hard at producing a school
improvement plan that will best help the school to continue to strive toward
excellence. Through the implementation of this plan and the dedication of the
School Improvement Council members and the entire staff we were able to
make adequate yearly progress in both English Language Arts and Math on the
spring 2009 MCAS tests in grades 3 and 4. For the second year in a row we held
an MCAS award ceremony to celebrate the accomplishments of fourth graders that
received a proficient or above score on the spring tests.
Page 52
S. 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 support for bringing our school programs that
enrich our curriculum and the lives of our students.
9. This year past we realized a decrease in student enrollment. That, coupled with a
p Y p
challenging budget, reduced our classrooms by one kindergarten class and one
second grade classroom. Due to this reduction we have once again been able to re-
organize our classrooms and open up a music and art room. Teachers in those
subject areas no longer have to travel from room to room on a cart and have been
able to enrich the curriculum that they deliver every day to our students.
10. Through our school improvement council we are working at putting together a star-
spangled program of events for our upcoming 50t'school anniversary in
the fall of 2010. We hope to make this a community event and plan to invite
many guests; including past school employees and graduates. Stay tuned for the
upcoming extravaganza?
Through the dedication of our teachers, support staff, school volunteers, and our PTO we
believe that Robinson Park School is a first-rate school that provides students with an
educational experience that will enable them to grow into well-rounded, civic-minded
students that are not afraid to the take risks that will ultimately improve the world around
them.

AGAWAM JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROFILE
The Agawam Junior High School is located at 1305 Springfield Street, Feeding Hills,
Massachusetts. The building presently houses 375 students in Grade 8 and 350 students
in Grade 7 for a total enrollment of 725 students. The projected enrollment for the
incoming 7t' grade in 2010-2011 is 350. The principal and assistant principal work with
and observe a staff of approximately 75 teachers and support personnel.
The administration and staff offer a comprehensive, well-balanced course of studies to all
students. This course of studies includes: English, Science, Social Studies, Mathematics,
World Language, Physical Education, Health, Critical Literacy, Technology Education,
' Family and Consumer Sciences, Art, Keyboard, Music, Chorus, and Band. Two school
counselors support students in their academic areas and one adjustment counselor
provides emotional support for students. For special needs students Agawam Junior High
School offers inclusion and language-based classes. There is also a vocational program
and Directed Learning Center that provide intensive academic and emotional support for
students. Intensive math and reading courses are offered for students who are below
grade level in those subject areas.
For the 2009-2010, AJHS implemented a school-wide teaming model. The culmination
of three years of committee work, research and scheduling, the model consists of seven
academic teams and one unified arts teams. The names of each team are based on the Ivy
League schools; Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, and
Yale. Each team has a special education component—Language Based, Inclusion, DLC,
or Vocational. Each team also offers an advanced math section for its students. Each
team has a common planning time and a team time that allows for greater parent contact
and discussion. Under the teaming model, staff will get to know their students at a much
deeper level and be able to coordinate assignments and projects more easily.
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 continued to use the Rediker/Admin Plus student
information system during the 2009-2010 school year. This continued emphasis on the
use of technology helped improve communication between home and school, student
awareness of classroom progress, and allowed for access to cutting edge information
learning. In addition, student discipline data was collected and processed in the system
which assisted with the PBIS implementation for the 2010-2011 school year. The
Admin+/Rediker information system also allowed for better tracking of student
Page 64
information and data that provided valuable educational and safety data for students.
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. 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. Incentives and consequences were established for students to encourage
' adherence to this safety policy.
Student activities and service learning programs were introduced throughout the school
year. Homeroom competitions helped build school spirit and involvement in classroom
activities. Students and staff earned points for participation and winning classrooms
received rewards each term. In addition, community service learning projects were
developed and a club was formed to lead these efforts. Students collected donations for a
variety of charities, animal shelters and food banks.
Efforts were made to address issues around adolescent behaviors and concerns. Students
were selected and trained in the Peer Mediation/Conflict Resolution model to help
students resolve problems in a constructive and safe environment. In addition 30 student
other students were selected to participate in and be trained in Project Teamwork, a
curriculum designed by Northeastern University's Center for the Study of Sport and
Society. The goal is to promote school safety and respect for diversity in school. With
financial support from the PTO, students and staff were able to experience a multimedia
presentation from the CAMFEL organization centered around issues of positive choices
and goal setting. In addition, Brett Ouchounis, a motivational speaker was brought in to
do his "Positive Spin"presentation to the students about how to deal with the issues of
bullying and peer pressure.
Movie nights and school dances were organized throughout the school year to provide
students a safe and productive social environment outside of school. Students were
surveyed and student committees were formed to organize these events.
Endeavors
In conjunction with the school department committee for No Child Left Behind Initiative,
The Agawam Junior High School began the 2009-2010 school year with two full
' professional development programs. Teams were given time to meet and discuss
yearlong goals and objectives, as well as begin formulating their efforts around the new
teaming model. A major focus for the year has been the understanding of the needs of all
i learners, particularly those with special needs. John Elder Robison, an author and
advocate for individuals with Aspergers Syndrome, provided a district wide presentation
on the subject. In addition, the staff received training from the Richard LaVoie video
series on learning disabilities. Finally, the staff received training on the student
information software programs for staff to input attendance, grades and other important
data.
Page 65
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 keepour focus on improving the delivery of varied curriculums.
A g rY
Efforts will be made 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, led by Project Teamwork and community Service Club students, was also
created to gain student interest and input into school activities and decisions. Students
were surveyed on their interests and action plans were developed and continued to be
developed in relation to: School dances, class competitions and community service
projects.

School Profile
Mission Statement
The Agawam High School community provides for all students a safe, technologically advanced
learning environment that offers diverse, challenging learning opportunities and extensive
extracurricular activities to foster academic, social, aesthetic, and civic growth.
School
Agawam High School is a comprehensive high school serving students in grades 9 to 12. The
' school is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and continues to
work to improve for the future. Current enrollment for the 2009-2010 school year is 1,322. At
Agawam High School we are committed to preparing students for the 21"century and improving
our facilities, curriculum, instruction, and assessment to meet that goal.
Facilities
Agawam High School continues to upgrade technology to meet the ever-increasing needs of our
community. As we begin the second decade of the 2 1"century, Agawam High School
understands the importance of technology and the role it plays in education.
One example is the General Creighton Abrams Library Media Technology Center that maintains
its position as an integral resource for student learning at Agawam High School. Comprised of
three main teaching areas with a total of twenty-nine desktop computers and forty-eight laptops
for student use, the library affords student access to a wide range of information. A continually
updated book collection of more than sixteen thousand volumes supplements numerous
subscription online databases and the Internet. Two of the teaching areas are also set up for
viewing, offering the option for presentations utilizing Smartboards,two additional desktop
computers on carts with projectors, and DVDNHS players. On a typical day, there may be as
many as twenty-one classes, with more than three hundred students, making use of the library
and its staff. The library also has spaces for quiet study, small group congregation, and one-on-
one teaching.
Environmental classes have increased the amount of energy-saving experiences at Agawam High
School. Recyclable containers have been added to eight locations throughout the school.
Students travel weekly around the school to collect, weigh, and record how much the classrooms
recycle. Students are involved with a Salmon Egg Restoration Program both inside and outside
of the classroom; this is a hands-on project where youth can experience the importance of
' preserving wildlife. Our next project is to work with the Conservation Commission and town
engineers to complete work on the Outdoor Classroom located on the northeast corner of the
High School property. Agawam High School strives to create a more "green" atmosphere by
' accomplishing many valuable goals and activities during the school year.
Resources
While Agawam High School continues to provide up-to-date facilities, the physical plant is just
the beginning of what makes a school excellent. The dedicated teachers and inquiring students,
along with a supportive administration and staff, make Agawam High School a place to belong
and a place where students are free to engage in an advanced learning environment.

Agawam Early Childhood Center

Agawam, MA 01001
School Profile
2010-2011
The Agawam Early Childhood Center educates 140 three and four year old
students. ECC is comprised of a group of educators who dedicate themselves
on a daily basis to the building of foundational skills in our students that will
carry them as learners into the kindergarten programs within the district.
This is accomplished by providing high quality educational experiences for
children based on the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, The
Department of Early Education and Care's Guidelines for Preschool
Experiences, and the criteria and standards recommended by the National
Association of the Education of Young Children. We provide integrated
classrooms that support those students who have been identified with special
education needs alongside peer partners.
Accomplishments/Endeavors
ECC is developing a Program-wide Positive Behavioral Intervention and
Support program (PBIS). This year is focusing on training and development
of the program for a roll-out for the fall of 2010.
The use of the Work Sampling on-line assessment system is being partially
implemented this school year and with full implementation planned for the
2010-2011 school year. Work sampling is a portfolio style assessment that
looks at seven developmental domains. The use of rubrics assists the
teachers in determining proficiency in each of these domains.
ECC implemented a new preschool orientation program that supports the
transition of new students into the program.
ECC teachers have welcomed the addition of a School Adjustment Counselor,
School Psychologist, and Social Worker to enhance programming around the
social/emotional needs of children and families.
Page 98
A Child Study Team, conducted as part of a pre-referral process has been
implemented consisting of teachers, related service providers, school
adjustment counselor, school psychologist and social worker. A system for
referring, documenting issues and implementation plans, and follow-up has
been developed.
Enhanced family participation through "Fun with Math Night", parent
education workshops, "Family Fun Day" and our end of the year program has
been well received.
Funding via the Universal Pre-K grant provided enrichment activities such
as Zoo on the Go and Abracadabra Magic Show.
Funding via the School Counseling Grant has enabled staff to be trained in
"Rainbow Dance", a small group highly interactive program that promotes
self-awareness and resiliency in children. A pilot of the program is being
implemented in spring, 2010.
District programs including Handwriting Without Tears and Second Step
continue to be implemented at the Pre-K level.
ECC has begun the process of being re-accredited through NAEYC (National
Association of the Education of Young Children). It is an extensive process
that requires portfolios to be developed that demonstrate evidence of how we
meet the specific standards and criteria established by NAEYC.
