AGAWAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS
FY 112 BUDGET MESSAGE
APRIL 26,2011
Introduction
Agawam Public Schools continues to grapple with the realities of declining federal, state, and local
revenues. The 2011-2012 academic year will be the fourth year in a row that Agawam Public Schools has
been asked to level fund its budget. The list of unfunded state and federal mandates for school districts
continues to grow and places an extraordinary burden and level of responsibility on school districts to
educate students in 2012 without financial support. Although it appears that Chapter 70 funding has been
increased in this proposed budget, the district will actually experience a .86% decrease in Chapter 70
funding from the previous FY'11 year. This decrease in funding amounts to $151,392. Fortunately,
school districts are allowed to carry over federal stimulus funds from one year to the next, and Agawam
Public Schools will carry over the last of its remaining EdJobs Funding in the amount of$360,944.
Because this funding will not be available in FY'13, it will result in a deficit prier to the FY'13 budget
process. The impact of this lack of funding for FY'12 to the schools will result in staff layoffs, fees for
some services, the elimination of positions of retiring teachers, the elimination of instructional coaches,
and the elimination of the DLC Team at the Agawam Junior High School.
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.
However, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to "Put Children First,' and to move the district
forward when there is no other areas from which to take funding of this magnitude other than from
personnel.
The preparation of this proposed budget began in Nove tuber 2011, and since that time, numerous
meetings and workshops with central office administrators, principals, directors, teachers, instructional
coaches, school councils, P.T.O,'s, school committee members, city council members, and town officials
have taken place. The fallowing is a.I ist of our meetings and workshop dates:
• February 8,2011
• March 8, 2011
• March 9, 2011
• March 14,2011
• March 21,2011
• March 22, 2011
• April 5,2011
• April 12, 2011
• April 26,2011
" Put chiCdren,First"
The recommended FY'12 School Budget does include a contractual 1% increase for teachers in the
amount of $225,827 and contractual step raises for teachers in the amount of $434, 234. In
addition, this budget does not include salary increases for non-union personnel and for the
following remaining bargaining units: APAA, Secretarial, Unit B Paraprofessionals, and Cafeteria,
as these parties have not reached a successor agreement at this time. However, contractual step
raises for these four bargaining units in the amount of $49,217 have been included as legally
required.
This proposed FY'12 Level Funded School Budget includes reductions in the amount of$1,601,744. The
impact to students and staff is as follows:
➢ Layoff of 13 paraprofessionals
➢ Layoff of 3.8 teachers
➢ Layoff of 2 secretaries
➢ Reduction of$136,358 for purchase services and supplies to cost centers
➢ Fees for athletics, band, extra-curricular activities, as well as a high school parking fee increase.
➢ Loss of Administrative Assistant to the Director of Finance and Human Resources
➢ Loss of High School Resource Officer
➢ Loss of five Instructional Coaches
In addition to the above, six teacher retirements and one secretary retirement will not be replaced.
In developing this budget, I remain committed to prioritizing our district goals and formulating a budget
that not only is fiscally responsible, but also is adequate to keep our schools moving forward. We also
have been fortunate to receive federal, state, and private grants in the amount of $4,777,404, which
provides supplement staffing and programs throughout the district. However,I am gravely concerned that
if the school budget continues to be level funded rather than level-service funded, our students will
receive a sub-standard education.
Since arriving to Agawam in January 1997, I have had the opportunity and privilege to work with a
dedicated, committed, and caring staff of professionals who truly have "walked the walk" and who "Put
Children First." A strong administrative team partnered with the Agawam School Committtee, high
quality teachers, paraprofessionals, and other support staff has been a winning combination to move our
school district forward. During the last 3 years of level-funded budgets to our schools, we have been
asked to do more with less, and we have all risen to that challenge. Fixed costs have continued to rise,
while our bottom line has remained the same. Even though we have been level funded for the fourth year
in a row, our students continue to excel and our administrators and teachers continue to do what is in the
best of interest of our students. Agawam High School's drop out rate is now 1.1% compared to 5.2% in
2002. Our high school 4-year graduation rate for all students is 89.1%
For the 2011-2012 school year the Agawam Public Schools' budget request is for $34,194,167
($33,909,498+$284,669),which represents an increase of 1% from the previous FY'11 School Budget.
A special thank you to Mayor Cohen; Town,Treasurer Laurel Placzek; Patti Cavanaugh; William Sapelli;
the school committee's Budget/Finance Sub-Comnuttec chaired by Diane Juzba and members Anthony
Bonavita and Roberta Doering; and the remaining school committee members, Linda Galarneau, Kathy
Mouncimneh, and Shelley Reed for their guidance, support, time and thoughtful input into the
development of this proposed FY'12 School Budget.
As you know, Mrs. Renee Jury has given 43 years of dedicated, unwavering commitment to the Agawam
school system. We all wish her well in her retirement and I personally would like to thank her for her
work on this budget, as well as the numerous budgets we have prepared together. I will miss you!
During my 9 years as Superintendent of Schools in Agawam, I have been fortunate to work
collaboratively with our Mayor and Town to develop a budget that provides a high quality education for
our students, families, and community. I remain concerned about the future of education for our students
and families of this community if level-funded budgets continue to be the norm. I hope that my legacy
will be to continue to "Put Children First" and to continue to make decisions based upon what is in the
best interest for students.

Superintendent of Schools
S
TO THE AGAWAM COMMUNITY FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS:
During the next few weeks and upcoming months, we will begin to publicly discuss the proposed PreK-12
FY'12 School Budget. I feel compelled to share my personal and professional thoughts with you as these
discussions will have a significant impact upon the quality of education that we will be able to provide for
our current and future students in this community. Agawam has always been a community that has
prided itself on a quality education that includes athletics,full day kindergarten for all children,visual and
performing arts, band, special education, Rosie Robotics, vocational education, small class sizes, elective
courses, and safe schools for learning. We have been able to provide these programs and services
without any fees to our students and families.
Since arriving to Agawam in January, 1997, 1 have had the opportunity and privilege to work with a
dedicated, committed and caring staff of professionals who truly have "walked the walk" to "Put Children
First." A strong administrative team partnered with the Agawam School Committee, high quality
teachers, paraprofessionals, and other support staff has been a winning combination to move our school
district forward. During the last 3 years of level-funded budgets to our schools, we have been asked to
do more with less, and we have all risen to that challenge. Fixed costs have continued to rise, while our
bottom line has remained the same.
Over the last 3 years with the assistance of federal and state grants, we have been able to offset these
rising fixed costs in our schools, while also maintaining quality programs, staff and services. However,
this year we have reached the "funding cliff" (drop-off point). Federal grant funds totaling approximately
1 million dollars will no longer be available, while our fixed costs will continue to increase. We will be
faced with difficult and hard choices. Because of this"funding cliff",we will no longer be able to maintain
the quality programs and services that have been afforded to our students and families. All personnel
including administration, teachers, paraprofessionals, secretaries and support staff will be considered for
reduction. In addition to personnel, programs will also be reviewed for possible elimination. Last, fees
for full day kindergarten, transportation, athletics, extra-curricular activities, and student parking will be
discussed and seriously considered.
During my 9 years as Superintendent of Schools in Agawam, I have been fortunate to work collaboratively
with the Mayor and Town to develop a budget that provides a high quality education for our students,
families, and community. These challenging economic times have impacted not only our schools, but our
homes and families. This has caused a sense of urgency, a time for reflection, and more than ever,a time
to come together to support one another. It is times such as these that bring out the true character of an
organization and a community. Decisions will not be easy, but will be necessary. While you may not
agree with my decisions, it is important for you to understand that my decisions will be made based upon
what will have the least impact on children. I ask for your support, understanding, cooperation, and
attendance at our school budget workshops so that we can continue to move our school district forward
during these very difficult times.

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 party 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.
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.
G. 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—b.
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.
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 program. Newsletters
from the PTO and the Principal help to keep the lines open.
16. 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.
GOALS
1. Purchase "peaceful playground"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.
12. Try to encourage a FLL team for the 2010 —2011 school year.
13. Work on a more effective way for Project SEE to service more students.

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 attitudes, ideals of American citizenship and
worthy accomplishment." He served as a member of the school committee between the years of
1914-1946-for 32 yearsi
Our school is located in the Feeding Hills section of the city and Is situated on the corner of South
Westfield and Springfield Sheets.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
ail 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.
Our Vision
A strong work ethic combined with individual attention in a collaborative setting will foster quality,
cooperation,and pride as fundamental truths critical to happiness and success.All students and
staff will have a safe, pleasant,and clean environment in which to teach,learn,play,and relax.
We expect Granger School students will read independently by the end of third grade. Writing will
be an everyday event.Quality academics and special subjects, meaningful community service,
diverse Cultural experiences,and interesting enrichment opportunities will result in the best total
education for every child.
Curricula,programs,and other services will combine time-tested methods and materials with the
most promising initiatives,innovations,and research.At our school, all students will be prepared to
continue their education and enjoy life in a productive,responsible, and rewarding way.
The children and adults of Granger School will have a solid foundation in computers and other
technology.Teaching and learning will be enhanced by using the latest technological systems
across the curriculum,throughout the community,and around the world.
Students and staff will have the modern resources and current skills to do their work efficiently,
effectively,and creatively.They will be prepared for the Information Age.
Throughout the Granger School community,all adults will support a common value for education
and Instill a love of learning In our children.In that spirit,we will work as partners sharing our
knowledge and skills,resources and services in order to maximize the effect of our collective

Accomplishments
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 curdculum areas.
Enrichment activities are Integrated throughout the course of study in every class as well as through
our intervention/enrichment blocks at each grade level.
Our MCAS scores demonstrate significant improvements and positive growth in both ELA and
Mathematics.
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. Rif 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 react,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 fall"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(PBIS)
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 referraisl
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.Q.
Christmas Caroling The Dod's Supper
Annual Family Picnic Back-To-School Night
Monthly Granger Gazette Newsletter Agendas for grades 3 L 4
Game Night Annual Art Show
Parent Coffees with the Principal Holiday Party
Book Fair Parent/Teacher Conferences
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 K-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.
Last 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.

Beniamin J. Phelps Elementary School
School Profile
2011 -2012
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 Ievel 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 her/his maximum potential.
Accomplishments
1. 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-craned 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 VE 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.
-1-
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 (ODR'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) '/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
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,
-2-
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
school 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 l/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.
10
-3-
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
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.
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 (M)
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 VE
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
M 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.
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.
8. 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 past year we realized a decrease in student enrollment. That, coupled with a
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.
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.

ROBERTA G. DOERING SCHOOL
SCHOOL PROFILE
The Roberta G. Doering School, located at fib Main Street, currently
serves 341 fifth grade 350 sixth grade students. Approaching the year 2014
our focus in on attaining the goals set by the No Child Left Behind Act. All
students must score proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics on
the MCAS test administered each year in March and May.
Although the majority of our students are attaining this goal, a number
of students in sub-groups identified by the Department of Elementary and
Secondary Education are not there yet.
The entire staff at the Doering School with assistance from newly
hired Coaches (ELA and Math) has been working diligently to raise MCAS
scores.
Adoption of the Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS) has
improved the tone of our school. Students, staff and administration believe
and follow three simple rules: Be Safe, Be Respectful and Be Responsible.
Program Highlights and Accomplishments

Massachusetts model. Grief and divorce groups were established to
help meet the needs of students.

for several years in our Main Office. The second copier was placed in
the Teacher's Lounge.

woodwind ensemble, which consists of select members of the sixth
grade band. These bands rehearse before and after school, which is in
addition to the weekly sectional lessons.
13.In an effort to promote a positive school climate the Doering School

responsibility to self and others. Agawam Junior High School will provide 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 expand its use of the Rediker/Admin
Plus student information system during the 2010-2011 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. A pilot team of teachers worked to implement the on-line parental
grading portal ad develop protocols for the district. The point of sale payment system
was also activated for the school lunch program. 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 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. A school safety grant was written jointly with the Agawam Police Department
to purchase additional security cameras for the interior and exterior areas of the junior
and senior high schools. In addition, electronic access points were reviewed for possible
implementation in the near future allowing for more controlled and secure entry into the
building.
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. The PBIS team
surveyed students and developed school-wide and classroom specific incentives and
rewards for students to participate in. 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, goal setting, peer pressure and bullying. In addition, Wayne
Soares, a motivational speaker was brought in to speak to the students about how to deal
with the issues of bullying and peer pressure.
In addition, A HS also traveling
a t J participated m its first Washington D.C. trip with 50
students and S adult chaperones to visit many national historical landmarks. 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 2010-2011 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
learners,particularly those with special needs. Extensive training and support has been
provided by the special services department and math coach,Nancy Farrell, in the area of
math probing and benchmarking. Using the data gained from these types of assessments
allowed staff to provide interventions and support for their students. Finally, the staff
received training on the student information software programs for staff to input
attendance, grades and other important data.
Under the direction of assistant principal, Michael Donovan, our district accommodation
Splans (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 varied curriculums.
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. Each
team was also permitted to take an educational fieldtrip to various local points of interest.
Some of these included the Basketball Hall of Fame, The Big E, Patriots Place, career
day fieldtrips to various local businesses, and trips to a variety of local and regional
science institutes and museums. Existing clubs such as Non-Users, Ski, and Drama
continued to provide students opportunities to 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.

Mission Statement:
The Agawam High School community strives to provide a safe,diverse, and advanced learning environment for all
students. We offer challenging learning opportunities and extensive extracurricular activities which encourage our
students to become productive,respectful, and responsible citizens.
School
Agawam High School is a comprehensive high school serving students in grades 9 through 12. The school is accredited
by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Current enrollment for the 2010-2011 school year is 1,338. At
Agawam High School,we are dedicated to preparing our students for the 2 V century and to continually improve upon our
facilities, curriculum, instruction, and assessment to meet that goal.
Facilities and Resources
Agawam High School continues to upgrade technology to meet the ever-increasing needs of our community. As we begin
the second decade of the 21'century,Agawam High School understands the importance of technology and the role it
plays in education. One example of the advancement in technology is the General Creighton Abrams Library Media
Technology Center, which maintains its position as an integral resource for student learning. Comprised of three main
teaching areas (two of which are set up for computers on carts with projectors) 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.
Resources include a continually updated book collection of more than seventeen thousand volumes, supplements,
numerous subscriptions to online databases, and the Internet. 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 houses the
NovaNET program and VHS (Virtual High School) in.its back computer lab. Additionally,the library has a teacher's
work area and spaces for quiet study, small group congregation, and one-on-one teaching.
Regarding the curriculum at Agawam High School,many changes have been made to the program of studies. A variety
of new electives are being offered in the English,BITC (Business, Instructional Technology,and Career Education),
Science,and Technology Education departments next year. Many of these electives will be beneficial in the endeavor to
create a more diversified curriculum with a focus on STEM subjects. This year's class numbers and projections for next
year point to ongoing growth within the Advanced Placement program,both in enrollment and in new classes.
Informational class visits and assemblies ensure that students are aware of the course options available to them.
Agawam High School strives to become a more"green" environment by accomplishing many valuable goals and
activities during the school year. Recyclable containers have been added to eight locations in the school, creating a
cleaner and greener school environment. Environmental classes have increased the amount of energy saving experiences
we have at Agawam High School. Students travel weekly around the school to collect,weigh, and record how much the
classrooms recycle. A locker cleanout is also held twice a year for 10 minutes;this encourages students to recycle and
donate unused items for others to use. 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.
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 and succeed in an advanced learning environment.
Aside from academics,the extensive extracurricular activities that are offered and the services provided for students help
to generate exceptional,well rounded individuals upon graduation.

Agawam Early Childhood Center
108 Perry Lane
Agawam, MA 01001
School Profile
2011-2012
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.
Accomplisbments/Endeavors
ECC is in its first year of implementing a Program-wide Positive Behavioral
Intervention and Support program (PBIS). Our motto is "Way to BEE at
ECC". The students "build a bee" in their individual classrooms and are
given classroom rewards as each bee is completed. The students earn their
bee parts based on expected behaviors in the classroom, hallway, playground
and bathroom.
ECC has implemented a Data Success Team comprised of teachers, related
service providers, social worker, school adjustment counselor and
administrator. The DST will be working together with ECC staff on data
collection and systems for accessing and formulating data that assists the
program in developing tiered interventions.
The use of the Work Sampling on-line assessment system is being
implemented this 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. Data collected
from this system will help our Data Success Teams determine those students
who may need interventions.
ECC teachers have welcomed the addition of a Social Worker to enhance
programming around the social/emotional needs of children and families.
She has planned several parent workshops for this year and has become an
integral part of Data Success Team.
A Child Study Team, conducted as part of a pre-referral process has been
implemented consisting of teachers, related service providers, school
adjustment counselor, and social worker. A system for referring,
documenting issues and implementation plans, and follow-up has been
developed.
ECC held its first Family Math Night last year and plans to hold that again
along with adding a Family Literacy Night.
Funding via the Universal Pre-K grant will continue to provide enrichment
activities such as Zoo on the Go and our end of the school year performer.
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 was
implemented in spring, 2010 and we plan to have another Rainbow Dance
group starting January 2011.
District programs including Handwriting Without Tears and Second Step
continue to be implemented at the Pre-K level.
ECC is working through 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.
ECC is working on the implementation of a Literacy Action Plan that was
developed this year and outlines strategies for the development of effective
early literacy practices in the classroom.
