FY'13 BUDGET MESSAGE
William P. Sapelli
Superintendent of Schools
April 10,2012
Introduction:
Agawam Public Schools continues to respond to the challenges of educating our children. These
challenges include meeting unfunded state and federal mandates,yet remaining fiscally
responsible. In preparing the FY'13 Proposed Budget,we have confronted these challenges and
have developed creative, innovative solutions,which we believe will sustain our efforts to
provide the children of this district with a quality education.
The FY 13 Proposed Budget is structured as a"Level-Service Budget." In essence,the school
department is requesting a dollar amount which will allow the schools to provide a level of
service to students equal to that provided during the 2011 —2012 school year. This level-service
budget also includes additional"fixed costs,"such as negotiated contractual salary increases for
five(5)bargaining units,vocational educational tuition increases,transportation increases,
special education increases, Common Core requirements,and increases associated with the New
Teacher Evaluation Instrument-
The preparation of this proposed level service budget began in November of 2011,and since that
time,numerous meetings have taken place with administrators,school committee members,and
town officials. These meetings were collaborative with open communication and sincere
cooperation among all participants.
I would like to extend a special thank you to all the building principals,directors,central office
staff,Mayor Cohen,City Treasurer Laurel Placzek,and the School Committee's Budget/Finance
Subcommittee chaired by Diane Juzba and members Anthony Bonavita and Roberta Doering for
their assistance,time,and thoughtful input into the development of this FY'13 Proposed Budget.
I would also like to thank the City Council's School Budget Subcommittee for their interest and
participation in the review of the FY'13 Proposed Budget.
Budget Highlights:
Significant and continued educational progress has taken place in the Agawam Public Schools.
The following budget highlights support the goals that have been established in our district's 5-
year plan entitled, "Building a Bridge to 2015."
• Maintain all existing staff and services
• Implementation of the New State Frameworks
is • Implementation of New Teacher Evaluation Instrumen
• Replace retiring teachers to maintain class size
1
Summary:
As Superintendent of.Schools, I am committed to working with all stakeholders to improve the
Agawam Public Schools by ensuring that students receive an appropriate and challenging
education that is multi-faceted both in and out of the classroom. Parents begin their child's
education in the home and entrust the responsibility of further developing student learning to the
schools. We carry this responsibility with the utmost sincerity and determination to meet
expectations. Home and school must work in concert for the ultimate benefit of the child.
In addition to having a talented,professional staff that is dedicated to increasing student
achievement, we have a Mayor, School Committee, and City Council who fully support the
town's schools by providing the necessary funds to improve student learning and achievement.
This level-service budget has no staff reductions, no elimination of programs, no increase in
existing fees, and no new additional fees. We are proud of the significant educational progress
that our district has achieved and are looking forward to bringing new and exciting programs to
the classroom.
Please be advised that the FY'13 School Budget is available for public viewing at the Agawam
Public Library, City Clerk's Office at Town Hall,and on our website at
www.agawarnoLblicschools.org.

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 Iffe 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 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. It's 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 313 children,Kindergarten-Glade 4. We are an enihmlasiic, close-knit school community
dedicated to providing a quality instructional program for our students.The Granger staff works
diligenfty 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
40 Initiatives,build a network of open communication and teamwork between students,parents and
staff,
33
Our Vision
The Clifford M. Granger School will assure that all children receive a safe, high quality, researched
and evidence-based Instructional program.
We expect all Granger School students will be fluent and Independent readers. Reading,writing
and mathematics will be an everyday event and wellness,the arts,sciences,and well-matched
technologies will be integrated across all parameters of curriculum and Instruction.
Each student will leave the Gifford M.Granger School:
Demonstrating a respect for self,others,learning and the environment
• Having met or exceeded state standards in reading,writing and mathematics
• Possessing the technical competencies and foundation skills necessary for success in the
21st century

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 curriculum 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 continue 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.
The staff consistently utilizes district-wide and teacher-made formative and summative assessments
to assess student growth,determine resource selections and guide their daily instruction.
34
. This year the building is in its third year of implementing a Response to Intervention(Rti)model. Rtl
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 fo 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 ff is not a"wait to fail"model because students get help promptly In the
general education seriing.
At the Clifford M. Granger School,ALL students have the opportunity to get help or extension at the
level needed in general education classes, potentially significonfly 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
eligibllity determination.
The school continues to use the Second Steps and Steps to Respect 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 has also provided on-going
professional development to increase the skills of all staff members to prevent,Identify,and
respond to bullying.All staff has learned developmentally appropriate strategies to prevent
bullying Incidents,developmentally appropriate strategies for Immediate,effective Interventions to
stop bullying Incidents,information regarding the complex Interaction and power differential that
can take place between and among an aggressor,target,and witnesses to the bullying,research
findings on bullying,including information about specific categories of students who have been
shown to be particularly at risk for bullying in the school environment,information on the Incidence
and nature of cyber-bullying,and Internet safety issues as they relate to cyber-bullying.
The school is also in Its fifth year of 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.
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.
Renzulll Learning has been implemented in order to support enrichment differentiation in grades
one through four.
35
Data Based Decision Making is a school Improvement approach that uses quailtative data to help
describe or define problems,direct activities/target interventions,allocate resources. It is stating
problems and goals In a way that allows us to use data to show we have attained(or not)those
goals. The Instructional Support Team/Data Success Team and the PSIS team both use data to
examine our practices and results at Granger.The teams'goals are as follows:
To use data to develop targeted interventions In areas of need
To continuously examine data to promote increased levels of student achievement
To examine when existing policies,procedures and practices need to be modified to
Increase efficiency.
IST/DST uses the data to identify areas for targeted intervention...It then passes on the
specific planning of the Interventions to others(such as Grade Level Rtl teams,the PB1S
team or the Counseling Team...)
Teachers continue to take advantage of many professional development opportunmes to improve
their repertotre of strategies especially In the area of Technology.The school has purchased
interacttve projectors in order to increase both teacher and student capacities for 21 It Century
Learning Skills.
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.
Parent/Teacher Conferences 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 Fairs Science Fair
The Granger School P.T.O.deserves thanks for their continued support for all activities and in-house
enrichment programs and for supporting teachers by purchasing materials.The Granger staff
always appreciates their hard work through their Teacher Appreciation Activities.
And Sinally,the 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 pion.This year School Council is working
on the safety and cleanliness of our school grounds,exploring options for childcare during PTO
meetings, brainstorming enrichment opportunities for the Rtl block and improving home/school
communication for the Intervention/Enrichment block.

Benjamin 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 envision that each
student will, by the end of fourth grade, have met or exceeded grade level curricular
expectations in all subject areas and will leave Phelps School as a responsible and
respectful individual. To meet this end all students will receive high quality, standards-
based instruction in all subject areas. All students will receive a continuum of evidence-
based behavioral and academic instruction using data for decision making with
measurable outcomes supported and evaluated by data. All students will be provided
programs, classroom-based interventions, and group and/or individual counseling that
allow them to (l) feel supported and safe at school, (2) develop interpersonal skills for
positive social interactions, and (3) understand their personal strengths and challenges.
To meet these challenges, all teachers will implement evidence-based practices and/or
programs with fidelity and accountability. This work will build the foundation needed to
ensure that each student will graduate from high school, college, and be career ready. In
addition, they will possess the skills necessary to become productive members of an ever
changing society.
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. Rtl 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. Data teams have been established at the district and school level. The Benjamin J.
Phelps Data Team meets monthly to review data,to discuss students that are
experiencing challenges, and/or to discuss school-wide issues. Interventions are
planned based on the information gathered. These can be interventions within the
classroom or interventions school-wide.
3. Our school schedule has been adapted 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
O/E) block of time. This I/E block provide 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
-1-
41
small group and/or individual intervention include Reading Specialist,Primary
Preventionist,Lindamood-Bell Instructor, Speech/Language Pathologist, Special
Educator, Intensive Math Instructor,Occupational Therapist, English as a Second
Language Teacher as well as the Classroom Teacher and the Enrichment Coach.
This block of time allows for the interventions/enrichments without students
having to miss new instruction and fall further behind.
4. Benjamin J. Phelps Schaal has adopted a School-wide Positive Behavioral
Intervention and Support program (PSIS). 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.
5. Professional Learning Community (PLC) meetings are held regularly at Benjamin
J. Phelps School. These meetings allow teachers to exchange ideas and strategies
that will enhance their teaching effectiveness and consequently better meet the
needs of their students. Teacher Leaders in Literacy and Math facilitate these
iPLCs as well as the building principal. This meeting time provides the opportunity
for grade-level teachers to meet and discuss curriculum and instruction and share
strategies.
6. MCAS improvement continues to be a focus at the Benjamin J. Phelps School.
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. The use of technology (i.e. Symphony Math, Lexia) also
supports our improvement efforts. Tutoring has been provided before school to
provide a more intensive intervention for some students. School-wide PLC time
has been used to review curriculum and data. All grade levels are involved in the
process of improving MCAS scores.
7. Professional Development continues to support staff in planning for and in the
implementation of curriculum. Having a Literacy Coach is invaluable. 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.
-2-

8. 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,
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. Leveled reader books continue to be added to the Book
CIosets.
9. A goal of the Beniamin J. Phelps School Improvement Plan is to continue to
provide a safe learning environment. Two-way radios are used at outdoor recess,
during fire drills, and within the school. 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 and the recess door. A Parent
Reunification plan has been developed for Benjamin J. Phelps School. Second
Step and Steps to Respect are two anti-violence programs being implemented
yearly.
10. The APS now has a Bully Prevention and Intervention Plan. In addition to the
Second Step and Steps to Respect programs, the PBIS anti-bullying program
continues to be used. Teachers and students have been 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. Staff has
also been trained to recognize bullying as well as "gate-way" behaviors to
bullying. Staff has also been trained in their responsibilities in preventing and
intervening in bullying behavior. Benjamin J. Phelps School participated in No
Name Calling Day January 15, 2012.
11.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 are used at each grade
level with checklists developed to assess the student writing. A Literacy Coach
continues to provide for ongoing professional development in the implementation
of balanced literacy strategies. Additional training is provided to small groups of
teachers as well as individually to a teacher.
12.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. During the
-3-
43
2011/2012 school year, the APDirect program was introduced to parents. Parents
who have provided the school with an email address can now access student
progress reports and report cards online. All of the above improves home/school
communication.
13. 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.
14. 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, parents, and students was used to inform us in the development of our
School Improvement Plan.
15. 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.
16. 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 challenges 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. A district Behavior Interventionist supports this program by
providing individual recommendations as well as classroom recommendations.
17. Benjamin J. Phelps School has been successful in creating and maintaining a
positive home-school connection. Events such as Family Fun Night (kick-off to
the Read-A-Thon), Ice Cream Sundae Night, and our annual Spring Concert
continue. 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. The Benjamin J. Phelps Instructional Support Team (1ST) 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 couple of staff members have
received training in conducting Functional Behavioral Assessments and in
developing appropriate Behavior Intervention PIans. This has strengthened 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. We also administer the Aimsweb
math assessment at these intervals. All of our assessments help to drive both
classroom instruction and the groupings for our InterventionlEnrichment blocks.
49
. I The district literacy coach has been instrumental in helping to begin the arduous
task of aligning our district ELA curriculum to the common core. Through the
model she created of having literacy leaders at each grade level, she has held
monthly meetings and numerous professional development opportunities for
teachers to become better equipped to develop rich classroom literacy practices.
She has had a strong focus on strengthening our writing program. Research has
shown that a strong writing program in the early grades has significant impact on
student achievement in all future grades. We strongly believe that the work that
she continues to do with our teachers will have a lasting impact for years to come.
4. We continue to refine our Response To Intervention (Rtl)model at Robinson Park
School. The new schedule that was developed to support this model has been
successful and we will continue to tweak it to better meet the challenging
demands of the common core in the areas of Math and ELA for next year.
5. We are preparing for the new teacher evaluation tool that will be in use in
September 2012. Teachers are currently familiar with rubrics and have embraced
them over the past couple of years as a way to improve teaching and learning and
are anxious to see how the changes brought on by the state will further impact
practices. Most of the staff has had some training on SMART goals,but have not
used them in conjunction with evaluation. Training is scheduled for later this
spring on how to incorporate them into personal learning goals for the upcoming
school year.
6. This year is our fifth 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. This year teachers have tried to steer the children away from individual
rewards and to focus students on group rewards; such as earning a classroom
movie afternoon. This has brought a new focus on working as teams to accomplish
a goal.
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 2010 MCAS tests in grades 3 and 4, This spring as we prepare to write our
plan for the upcoming year,we will be training the team on hove to write the plan
in SMART goal format and align it to the district SMART goals.
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.
so
9. Each year we continue to review our enrollment and to add and delete class
sections as necessary. As a result,this year we had to add back a first grade
classroom and eliminate a second grade classroom. This continues to present
challenges to staff as they have to familiarize themselves with new grade level
curriculum they move between grades each year. We are already beginning to
plan for shifts for the upcoming school year. The positive side of this is that
teachers that have had to switch grades now have a deeper understanding of
teaching and learning on a developmental continuum of student learning.
10. We have tried to find ways to develop our students academically and socially. This
year we decided to add a new element, that of being civic-minded. We have added
a requirement of our fourth graders to complete a community service project.
After our PTO put out a call for help with the annual cleaning and preparation of
OUT school gardens, it was agreed that the fourth grade class would complete this
work as a way to meet the new requirement. A time has been set in the spring for
the entire class to work together to make our school the showplace that it has
become known to be.
11. This year we have tried to focus on bringing our classrooms into the 215t century
with technology. We have begun installing BrightLinks(an interactive
whiteboard) in our fourth grade classrooms. Through school budgeted funds and
the help of our PTO we were able to install them in all three of our fourth grade
rooms and our Library/Media Center. The PTO has also put together an
innovative fund-raiser, the TechnoTrot, to raise additional funding to continue
adding these units to more classrooms for next year.
Through the dedication of our teachers, support staff, school volunteers, and our PTO we
believe that Robinson Paris 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 68 Main Street, currently
serves 308 fifth grade 319 and sixth grade students. Approaching the year
2014 our focus is 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 is beginning to turn its focus to the Common Core and
the goal of all students being college and career ready upon graduation from
High School.
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.

• AGAWAM JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROFILE
The Agawam Junior High School is located at 1305 Springfield Street, Feeding Hills, Massachusetts. The
building presently houses 3S5 students in Grade 8 and 350 students in Grade 7 for a total enrollment of
705 students. The projected enrollment for the incoming 7'h grade in 2012-2013 is 325. The principal
and assistant principal work with,and observe,a staff of approximately 80 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, Math Concepts, Science and Technology Education, Family and
Consumer Sciences,Art, Keyboard,Music, Chorus, and Band. Two school counselors support students in
their academic areas and two adjustment counselors 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.
During 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.Teams also share a common planning time and a common team time that allows for greater
parent contact and discussion around student performance and best practices. 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. Due to budget cutbacks for the 2011-2012 school year,the
teaming model was reduced to 6 teams,Team Yale was"retired", and the additional students were
absorbed into the remaining six teams. The average homeroom class size is approximately 23-25
students.
Mission
Graduates of Agawam Junior High School will leave with the necessary skills in the following areas to
successfully complete the high school graduation requirements. reading,writing, mathematics,critical
thinking,technology,critical thinking and social 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
67
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 2011-2012 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. All parents and students Edline
accounts were activated during the 2011-2012 school year allowing parents and students to access
weekly grade reports, daily homework assignments and utilize interactive surveys and quizzes. In
addition, student discipline data was collected and processed in the system which assisted with year two
PSIS implementation. 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. Thirty-three
cameras were activated in March 2012 to allow for greater surveillance to deter against property and
student crime.
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. The
annual talent show is held each June to raise money for local charities.
Efforts were made to address issues around adolescent behaviors and concerns. Students were selected
and trained in the Pees Mediation/Conflict Resoiution model to help students resolve problems in a
constructive and safe environment. Student members helped improve school climate and bring
awareness to issues such as bullying through "Mix It Up Day"and Peace Week Activities. The PSIS team
surveyed students and developed school-wide and classroom specific incentives and rewards for
68
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. New legislation regarding bullying resulted in new procedures and protocol for
investigating, reporting and disciplining such acts within the school setting. Parents were also educated
on the process and information is posted in the building and on the school website.
In addition,AJHS also participated in its second Washington D.C.trip traveling with 50 students and 8
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 2011-2012 school year with professional development programs covering
a variety of student needs and endeavors. Teams were given time to meet and discuss yearlong goals
and objectives,as well as begin formulating their efforts around the teaming model. A major focus for
the year has been the understanding of the needs of all learners, particularly those with special needs.
Data driven decision making was a key component and the math department worked to develop
assessments and benchmarks to measure student growth, 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 advanced features to the edline program. Teachers were able to gain knowledge
on how to integrate the technology into the classroom lessons and activities. In addition,Common Core
facilitators began work on transitioning the curricula of Math and English Language Arts to meet the
new standards set forth by the federal government. Other disciplines also used professional
development time to rewrite and update curricula to utilize the latest technology and best practices. A
new Science Technology Engineering and Math(STEM) program and curricula is being devised for the
2012-2013 school year.
Under the direction of assistant principal, Michael Donovan, our district accommodation plans (DCAP),
504 Plans and Instructional Support Team have assisted the staff to meet the educational needs of our
students. Through the efforts of these plans and groups, gains have been made for the students,
parents and staff.

We will continue to keep our focus on improving the delivery of 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. Teams were encouraged to research
and schedule educational fieldtrips to various local points of interest. The entire seventh grade class
took a field trip to the Boston Science Museum as a culminating activity for the history and science units.
In addition,seventh grade students were invited to visit local businesses as part of the annual career day
exploration. 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 2011-2012 school year is 1,329. At
Agawam High School,we are dedicated to preparing our students for the 21"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, snaking use of the library and its staff.Additionally,the library has a
teacher's work area and spaces for quiet study, small group congregation,and one-on-one teaching. Two laptop carts
have been added with 30 computers each to be used throughout the building in classrooms.
We are in the process of creating a T.V. studio that will showcase student efforts at the high school and broadcast
pertinent district information on an educational channel. An additional computer lab will be available for teacher use with
23 computers as well as a Smartboard.
Regarding the curriculum at Agawam High School,many changes have been made to the programs 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.

coordinates the delivery of special education and related services to approximately 644 students
with disabilities in grades preK-12 enrolled in the district's public schools,private and parochial
schools,the Lower Pioneer Valley Educational Collaborative,and a number of approved and
unapproved private special education programs in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and other states.

agencies including the Department of Mental Health,the Massachusetts Department of
Developmental Services,the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission,the Massachusetts
Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind.

Agawam Early Childhood Center
108 Perry Lane
Agawam, MA 01001
School Profile
2012-2013
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 has developed a Program-wide Positive Behavioral Intervention and
Support program (PBIS). We are in our second year of implementation with
"The Way to Bee at ECC" as our slogan.
The use of the Work Sampling on-line assessment system is being fully
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. With this as
our second year of full implementation we have begun to compare the data
across years to help us target our instructional strategies.
ECC has implemented"focused instructional groups" in all classrooms_
These groups provide the opportunity for small group instruction in the areas
of math and ELA that target specific skill and concept development.
ECC has focused professional development around the strategies outlined in
our Preschool Literacy Action Plan. These strategies support the alignment
of Pre-K to K balanced literacy approach.
103
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 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. This is our second year of
implementation as part of a Tier 2 strategy.
District programs including Handwriting Without Tears and Second Step
continue to be implemented at the Pre-K level. One of our classrooms is
piloting a newer version of Second Step designed specifically for preschool.
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.
