AGAWAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS
FY'14 BUDGET MESSAGE
William P. Sapelli
Superintendent of Schools
April 9,2013
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 by only requesting what is absolutely necessary in fiscally uncertain times. In
preparing the FY'14 Proposed Budget, we have strived to ensure that students, staff, and
buildings are well-equipped with the needed resources to provide students with a quality
education.
The FY'l 4 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 2012—2013 school year. This level-service
budget also includes additional "fixed costs," such as vocational educational tuition increases,
transportation increases, special education increases, Common Core requirements, and increases
associated with the New Teacher Evaluation Instrument. However, the most significant concern
in preparing the FY'14 Proposed Budget is salaries, as the district is in the process of negotiating
with five (5) bargaining units.
The preparation of this proposed level service budget began in November of 2012, 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 3uzba and members Anthony Bonavita and Roberta Doering for
their assistance, time, and thoughtful input into the development of this FY'14 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'14 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
• Implementation of New Teacher Evaluation Instrument
+ Expansion of school security
• Replace retiring teachers to maintain class size
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'14 School Budget will be available for public viewing at the
Agawam Public Library, City Clerk's Office at Town Hall, and on our website at
www—agawampublicschools. once the budget is approved.

added to monitor growth. Teachers change the scores on the Data Wall three times a
year.
2. The Book Closet at Clark has been completely reorganized this year.
Books are organized by levels and clearly marked. The reorganization makes it easier for
teachers to find appropriate leveled books for instruction and independent reading.
The Intensive Resource Room is now using the Leveled Literacy Intervention resource
by Fountas and Pinnell. This has supported the instruction of all students in the IRR
program.
3. Nonfiction reading and writing has been a focus this year in all grades. Teachers are
using "A Guide to Teaching Nonfiction Writing" by Tony Stead and Linda Hoyt to
support instruction, in addition to this resource, extensive training has been provided
by the district literacy to teacher leaders. Teacher leaders go to monthly meetings with
the coach and share information with colleagues at monthly PLCs. Teachers have been
implementing the Common Core and reflecting on best practices used to support
instruction.
4. The Envisions Math program was implemented this year for all grades. Professional
Development has been provided to all teachers. Teacher leaders have been meeting
with the Math Common Core facilitator and sharing at monthly PLCs. Assessments from
the program are used to monitor progress.
5. Response to Intervention is an important safety net to support the success of children.
Looking at data and placing children in the appropriate intervention, as well as providing
focused instruction continues to support the needs of the students at Clark .
6. The Positive Behavioral Intervention Program (PSIS) continues to help children make
the right choices. CLARK Keys to success is our motto; Choose your words, Like yourself,
Accept differences, Respect your school, Kindness is the Key. This year we have had
numerous events to support positive behavior. Our Holiday Sing Along has become a
school-wide event that children and adults look forward to. Other events such as;
hippie day, crazy hat day,tie day and pajama day are just some of the events that have
taken place this year. The staff works hard to come up with creative ideas and ways to
keep students engaged.
7. The school improvement council continues to provide guidance to the school
community. They help to write a comprehensive School Improvement Plan to support
student achievement for all students. They also sponsor a number of family and school
events to keep a positive culture here at Clark. This year they put on the play, "The
Polar Express"with staff members as the cast. It was a huge success. Math Night and
Book Bingo Night were two other events sponsored by the council. The team works well
together with teachers, parents and community members. They are preparing to write
the new plan in the spring.
8. The PTO has provided much support to the school this year. They have brought a
number of enrichment programs to the school that the students thoroughly enjoyed.
They hosted a Harvest Festival in the fall and a Winter Festival in the winter. The
students and parents enjoy these events and there is always a large turnout. They have
also sponsored a number of successful fundraisers for the school. Each year they
provide a scholarship to a past student at Agawam Nigh School. Clark school is
fortunate to have such a hard working, dedicated group of parents. There efforts bring
much to our school.
9. The Data Success Team meets twice a month to review data and discuss students that
teachers want specific strategies to improve learning. Teachers also bring students to
DST that they have concerns about and may need more intensive intervention. The DST
is also a group of individuals that take on a leadership role in the school.
10. James Clark School is fortunate to have an active group of volunteers. The library has
volunteers that come in on a regular basis. Other volunteers share their talents in a
variety of ways, from fixing our school sign to giving their time for various other
projects.
11. Technology is a resource that is necessary for teaching and learning as we move into
the 215t century. This year, thanks to the hard work of our PTO, we have installed six
more BrightLinks. We now have BrightLinks in fourth, third, second, first and two
kindergartens.
12. The website for James Clark School continues to be updated and provide important
information for parents. There is information on special events, policies, procedures,
our monthly showcase and our School Improvement Plant. This is a system that helps
support home/school communication.

School Profile
"At the Clifford M. Granger School,
our mission is to foster a lifetime love of learning
within a safe, positive and engaging environment
while empowering all students to realize their full potential
for social responsibility, a healthy sense of self, and academic excellence
through a curriculum reflective of our ever changing world."
-mission statement
School Council2009
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 years!
Our school Is located in the Feeding Hills section of the city and is situated on the corner of South
Wesffield 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 309 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
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 Clifford 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
21 st 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 to demonstrate significant improvements and positive growth In both
EI.A 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.
This year the building Is in Its fourth year of implementing a Response to Intervention (RtI) model. Rtl
is a three-tier(or three-step) prevention, early Identification and Interventlon/enrichment strategy
provided in general education. The learning of ALL students is assessed early and often. Rtl refers
to a process that emphasizes how well students respond to changes In Instruction. Rtl uses
standards-aligned and research-based interventions at increasing levels of intensity to support
students who struggle with reading and math and to help them reach state standards_ Rtl depends
on a strong, standards-aligned, research-based core curriculum (the "general education
curriculum") and school-wide behavior program (our PBIS). Perhaps the most Important benefit of
an Rill 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 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 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
show 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 (PSIS)
implementation in order to maximize opportunities for students to achieve social competence and
Increase academic achievement. The school has developed a common purpose and approach
to discipline, has a clear set of positive expectations and behaviors, has developed procedures for
teaching expected behaviors, has a continuum of procedures for encouraging expected behavior
and discouraging Inappropriate behavior as well as procedures for on-going monitoring and
evaluation.
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. Our Renzulli Coach is also beginning to work with kindergarteners as well.
Data Based Decision Making is a school improvement approach that uses qualitative data to help
describe or define problems, direct activities/target Interventions, and 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 PBIS teams 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.
The Instructional Support/Data Success Team 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 PBIS Team or the Counseling Team...)
Professional Development
Teachers continue to take advantage of many professional development opportunities to Improve
their repertoire at strategies especially in the area of Technology.The school has purchased
Interactive projectors in order to increase both teacher and student capacities for 2111 Century
Learning Skills. Currently interactive projectors(Brightlinks) are Installed in all classroom In grades
four,three, and two.We also have one installed in our school library and science/technology
classroom.
This school year teachers have also participated in professional development in the areas of math
(using the new Envisions program), non-fiction writing (supporting the new writing curriculum)and
Guided Reading workshops. Our literacy coach Linda DeMartino provided individualized guided
reading workshops for some grade levels and coaching sessions where teachers observed lessons
using the new non-fiction writing curriculum. Many teachers also chose to participate in an
optional pilot of the Buddy Study spelling program.
Fifty percent of the teaching staff Is participating in the new Massachusetts Teacher Evaluation
System.Teachers have hod professional development opportunities to assist in preparing them for
the process.They are collecting evidence to support competencies in various Indicators across
four standards. Next year, we hope to have one hundred percent of the teaching staff participating
in the new evaluation system.
Parent and Community Involvement
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.
School Science Fair The Dod's Supper
Annual Family Picnic Back-To-School Night
Monthly Granger Gazette Newsletter Agendas for grades 3&4
Kindergarten Parent Cheers&Tears Annual Art Show
Parent Coffees with the Principal Ice Cream Social
Book Fairs Parent/Teacher Conferences
The Granger School P.T.O. deserves thanks for continued support for all activities and In-house
enrichment programs and far supporting teachers by purchasing materials and always
appreciating their hard work through their Teacher Appreciation Activities,
And finally, 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 plan.This year the council is working on
overseeing the School Improvement Plan, a parent survey regarding technology use at Granger,
ensuring that healthy snacks continue in our cafeteria and participating as part of a District Wide
Council to examine our current Bullying Policy.

School Profile
2013 -2014
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 370 students. The Benjamin J. Phelps School staff and the entire
school community strive to provide our children with a safe, positive, and academically
rich learning environment that will enable each student to acquire the knowledge, skills,
and values required to meet with academic success and achieve their maximum potential
as learners and responsible individuals. The highly dedicated staff at Phelps School
fosters the belief that all children build a positive attitude toward learning and themselves
through their individual achievements, no matter what their ability level or differences.
The staff works collaboratively to recognize and teach to varied learning styles and to
utilize all available resources to help each student meet her/his maximum potential.
1. The implementation of a Response to Intervention (Rtl) approach provides a
systemic and timely response to students' needs. All students are provided
differentiated instruction. Supplementary supports and services in the form of
enrichment and/or academic and behavioral interventions are provided to students
based on data collection and analysis. It provides staff with a systemized way to
identify a need and develop an intervention as well as "progress monitor" a
student's response to the intervention. It is a"Problem Finding", "Goal Setting",
"Problem Solving", and "Data Gathering" approach to ensure that all students'
needs are met.
2. Beginning September 2009, a new school schedule was instituted with the aim of
achieving a well-crafted elementary schedule that effectively uses time, space, and
resources to improve the quality of school time. Within this schedule there is an
Intervention/Enrichment(I/E) block of time, This I/E block provides time for
short-terra 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.

. 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.
5. MCAS improvement continues to be a focus at the Benjamin J. Phelps School.
Literacy coaches, Common Core Facilitators, and teacher leaders 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/B block of time and/or through before school tutoring.
All grade levels are involved in the process of improving MCAS scores.
b. Professional Development Days, as well as having Literacy coaches, Common
Core Facilitators, and teacher leaders, provide 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, facilitators
and teacher leaders 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,
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. We are looking to build our collection of non-fiction
books.
& 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.
-2-
School safety procedures are reviewed and reinforced each year. All doors of the
school are locked during: the day. A security camera and intercomlbuzzer system
allow for monitoring all those who enter the building through the front door.
Meetings occur with community safety members to review and update safety
procedures. Fire Drills and "LockDown" drills are practiced. Second Step and
Steps to Respect are two anti-violence programs being implemented yearly. The
PBIS anti-bullying program is also used. 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.
9. 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. The Explorations in Non-Fiction Writing
program has been introduced to support the expectations of the March 2011 MA
Curriculum Frameworks. Ongoing professional development for staff in the
implementation of balanced literacy strategies and the MA Curriculum
Frameworks for English Language Arts and Literacy, Grades Pre-Kindergarten to
• 12, Incorporating the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts
and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. Coaches
have provided additional graining 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 UE block.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Our Phelps School Improvement Council has worked very hard to establish goals
and establish priorities to promote student learning and achievement. This Council
has provided support to improve safety and is working to support the acquisition of
presentation technology such as BrightLinks.
13. 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.
14. 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. This program is designed to meet the
myriad needs of those students in order for them to achieve success in school.
15. Benjamin J. Phelps School has been successful in creating and maintaining a
positive home-school connection. Our Family Math Night Provides an opportunity
for students and their parents to spend time together participating in Math games.
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.
16. The Benjamin J. Phelps Data Team/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 380 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. Students in Kindergarten through Grade
Two are tested using the DIBELS assessment three times yearly.
2. We are fortunate that the district has continued to fund the Literacy Coach position
for several years. This position makes it possible for teachers to partake in
numerous professional development opportunities. The coach has made
• herself available to all teachers to model lessons and share best practices and
resources. This has been a welcome addition and teachers have been very
receptive to her.
3. In addition to the Literacy Coach, we now have Teacher Facilitators for every
Curriculum area. The Math Facilitator has worked very hard with Teacher
Leaders to really get our new math standards off the ground this year. For the first
time in many years, we now have a cohesive plan for delivering math standards to
all of our students K-5>
4. Our Response To Intervention (Rti) model at Robinson park School has proven to
be very successful. Our schedule allows us to have a separate
Intervention/Enrichment(IIE) Block at each grade level. During this I/E
Block all students at that grade level receive some form of intervention or
enrichment based upon decisions made at data team meetings where all assessment
data is reviewed three times a year. This has eliminated the need for students to be
pulled away from instructional class time to receive regular and special education
services (Title 1, speech & language, counseling, etc.). We believe that all
students will benefit from this model; including students that need to be
challenged with the regular curriculum.
5. We have been in our first year of implementation of the new state model for
teacher evaluation. It has been a bit of a struggle for everyone as we navigate our
way through this new tool. We are hopeful that it will make us all better
practitioners in time. At the very least this year, it has made us all be much more
reflective.
6. We continue to implement 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. Our school mascot is Robbie, the Robinson Park Eagle. Along with the
mascot, we continue the use of our"Eagle Earning"tickets. Students continue to
save tickets for different school incentives.
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 2012 MCAS tests in grades 3 and 4. This year we sadly had to grant the
resignation of our community representative, Mrs. Gina Fusicic, Mrs. Fusick
served on our council for the past eleven years and she will be very hard to
replace.
S. The PTO has a student program review committee. This committee looks at
cultural and educational programs and has selected many wonderful in school
programs for the students this year. The Robinson Park School PTO deserves
many thanks for their hard work and support for bringing our school programs that
enrich our curriculum and the lives of our students.
i
9. Our PTO has been very active in the past two years in wanting to bring our
technology in the building up to the 21"century standards. This year we will be
hosting our Second Annual TechnoTrot. This fundraiser made it possible last year
to outfit everyone of our classroom with a $rightLinks Projector. This year the
funds that are raised will help to put more 1pads into the hands of our students.
We are very fortunate to have a very active group that puts these fundraisers on
and has a strong desire to improve our instructional setting.
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 68 Main Street, currently
serves 291 fifth grade 3 51 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 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
1. A new Library/Media Center located on the main floor of the school
was completed and opened in early October.
2. Twenty six new computers were purchased and installed in the
Library/Media center.
3. The entire staff worked collaboratively toward adopting the new
Bullying Prevention and Intervention Plan.
4. The Renzulli Enrichment Program, under the leadership of
Enrichment Coach, Karen Hotaling was implemented beginning in
September, 2010.
5. Fifth and sixth grade students were invited to the Big E for another
exceptional educational experience. The trip was an enormous
success.

AGAWAM JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROFILE
The Agawam Junior High School is located at 1305 Springfield Street, Feeding Hills,
Massachusetts. The building presently houses 350 students in Grade 8 and 300 students in
Grade 7 for a total enrollment of 650 students. The projected enrollment for the incoming 7t"
grade in 2013-2014 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,Technology Education,
STEM 7, Family and Consumer Sciences,Art, Keyboard, Music,Chorus,and Band. Two school
counselors support students in their academic areas and one adjustment counselor provides
emotional support for students. For special needs students Agawam Junior High School offers
inclusion and language-based classes. There is also a vocational program and Alternative
Learning Program that provides intensive academic and emotional support for students. A
counselor is assigned to the ALP program to meet the social and emotional goals for those
students. In addition, Intensive math and essential literacy 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 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.
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, 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 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.
s
Accomplishments
The Agawam Junior High School continued to expand its use of the Rediiker/Admin Plus student
information system during the 2012-2013 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 review and create a new progress report that included more meaningful
data and information for parents about student learning and progress. The pilot committee is
also working to create a scoring rubric to better align and standardize our progress report
assessments. The point of sale payment system that was activated in the 2011-2012 school year
has been expanded this year to allow parents online balance notification.
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. During the 2012-2013 school year, AJHS also
implemented the PBIS Tier 2 model to address the needs of those students that do are not
meeting success under the first tier interventions. The PBIS team met during the summer of
2012 to develop the process and protocols for identification of these Tier 2 students and also
created a "Check-in; Check-Out" form that each student would use with their assigned mentor.
• This data is also tracked in our student data base and is used to measure improvement and
modify interventions as needed.
Staff will be able to use this data to improve the quality of instruction and lesson planning based
on students' needs and abilities. During the 2012-2013 school year each department was
responsible for create a data driven presentation presented to the staff to show measureable
growth based on their team and personal SMART goal. Each department has created common
assessments that are given as pre-assessments, benchmark assessments and post-assessments.
These assessments are given at the beginning, middle and end of the school year as well as at
the beginning, middle and end of a unit. Teachers are also able to utilize our student
information system to create some of these assessments which allows for quicker scoring and
disaggregation of data.
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.
Our Peer Mediators have formed a teen council with Rachel's Table to assist in raising food for
the needy. AJHS also participated in a month long Anti-Bullying campaign in October 2012
followed up by Peace Week activities in the month of April 2013. 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.
Efforts were made to address issues around adolescent behaviors and concerns. Student
discipline data continues to show a reduction in major offenses and supports the initiatives and
focus that the PSIS Team has identified for improvement. Students were selected and trained in
the Peer Mediation/Conflict Resolution model to help students resolve problems in a
constructive and safe environment. The P815 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 on making safe and positive choices,goal setting,and avoiding peer
pressure and bullying.
In addition,AJHS continued to participate in its Washington D.C. trip traveling with 40.students
and adult chaperones to visit many national historical landmarks. Movie and social 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. Field trips to view first rate theatrical
productions of the Blue Man Group and visits to historical sites such as The Freedom Trail in
Boston allowed students to experience history and culture in an interactive setting.
Endeavors
In conjunction with the school department committee's support of the new Common Core
standards and the new teacher evaluation tool,The Agawam Junior High School began the
2012-2013 school year with professional development aimed at aligning our teaching and
learning to the new standards. 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.
Data has, and will continue to be, a driving force in aligning our efforts in the areas of teaching
and learning,as well as allotment of resources and funding. Extensive training, support and
professional development time has been provided to each department to create common
assessments and benchmarks to help improve student learning and teaching. using the data
gained from these types of assessments allowed staff to provide interventions and support for
their students. In addition,AJHS and The Doering School met to collaborate with teachers to
discuss alignment of curricula, shared resources and discuss common assessments that can be
shared in grade 5—8, Plans for the 2013-2014 school year will include expanding the discussion
to include grades 5 -12.
Technology continues to be a priority at AJHS. A new Science,Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics course was created to help students meet the needs of 215`Century society. All
grade 7 students created projects and activities aligned with the STEM state standards and
frameworks. AJH5 also expanded its laptop carts and implemented 12 IPads for classroom use.
With additional monies, all science classrooms and the library were equipped with BrightLinks
interactive projection units and professional development and release time were allotted to
staff to explore best practices and uses within the curricula.
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. AJHS has also explored the possibility of implementing
the A.V.1.D. (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program to target and better prepare
underrepresented populations in college and career readiness programs. Grant funding is being
sought to assist in the training, recruitment and retention of students and staff
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.
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. Grade level
educational fieldtrips were scheduled to provide students with real life exposure to the arts and
history. Existing clubs such as Non-Users,Ski, and Drama continued to provide students
opportunities to focus on healthy lifestyles and activities, The Peer Mediators also formed a
Rachel's Table Teen Advisory Board to help involve students in collecting and donating food to
the needy. 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 2012-2013 school year is 1,312. At
Agawam High School, we are dedicated to preparing our students for the 2 1'century and improving our facilities,
curriculum, instruction,and assessment to meet that goal.
Facilities and Resources
Agawam High School continues to upgrade technology,guided by our mission statement,to meet the ever-increasing
needs of our community realizing its vital role in supporting teaching and learning.
In the fall of 2012 the district provided funding to support the creation of an 1MAC lab at Agawam High School,the first
in the district. Two platforms are provided in the lab. MAC-OS and Windows 7-OS supporting all users. In addition,
twenty inFocus projectors and three mobile classroom laptop carts were purchased. We are pleased with the district's
continued investment in updated technology to assure student readiness for college and career opportunities.
Led by our core value of safety,Agawam High School increased school security and safety on our campus by installing
48 surveillance cameras in February 2012 with more planned in the future. This was funded through a joint grant with
lee Agawam Police Department.
The Town of Agawam and the Agawam.Public Schools in conjunction with Comcast and the Agawam Cable Television
Commission unveiled the redesigned Agawam Public Access Television Channels in May 2012. The Agawam Public
Schools now has its own channel,Channel 12.This channel provides programming which highlights the activities of the
Agawam School District as well as provides content devoted to the education of our community. The Video Production,
Art,and Digital Photography classes regularly submit information to this channel for airing.
The General Creighton Abrams Library Media Technology Center maintains its position as an integral resource for
student learning. The facility supports the outcomes stated in the Partnership for 21st Century Skills Support Systems and
Student Outcome standards.Teachers' use of technologies and digital information systems increases student outcomes in
information,media and technology skills. The center operates in alignment with the Massachusetts School Library
Association's best practices,modeling the integration and use of technology in the process of teaching and learning.
Comprised of five teaching areas,four in the train facility,and one adjacent double-sized lab,the center provides access
to quality learning tools,technologies and resources, Students and teachers may access the library's resources via the
library's edline page in and outside of school. All teaching areas of the library have digital projectors, smart boards
and/or Bright Link board. There is a document camera and overhead available for use in any of the areas. Each teaching
and Iearning area has a teacher-dedicated computer.
Resources include a continually updated book collection of more than seventeen thousand volumes,40 online databases
provided free of charge through the state library's information network, online newspapers,digital streaming media for
teacher use in classes, and the Internet. The library's collection is incorporating more multiple access eBooks to respond
to the contemporary pattern for research and reading. On a typical day,there may be as many as twenty-one classes in
e center, with the potential for three hundred students making use of the library and its staff daily. Additionally,the
rary has a teacher's professional library room with six teacher-dedicated computers and two portable scanners. The
room also provides spaces for quiet study, small group congregation, and one-on-one teaching.
Agawam High School continues to strive to become a more "green"environment by accomplishing many rigorous goals
to conserve, recycle and re-use. Recyclable containers are available throughout the building creating a cleaner and
greener school environment. Most recently,we have increased our recycling efforts in the cafeteria with the addition of
�4 new disposal receptacles. A locker cleanout is also held twice a year encouraging students to recycle and donate
nused items for others to use. During a recent student locker clean-out the following items were collected,recycled and
distributed:
1275 lbs of paper
48 lbs bottles/cans
194 binders
241 dividers
62 folders
50 notebooks
11 lbs of new lined paper
A variety of school supplies (pens, pencils,calculator,protractors, bookcovers, etc.)
Since the summer of 2011,twenty-two faculty members have been trained in Capturing Kids Hearts,a three-day,off-site
workshop that provides tools for administrators,faculty,and staff to build positive,productive,trusting relationships—
among themselves and with their students. These processes transform classroom and campus environments where trust,
respect,and caring relationships flourish. We will continue to encourage and fund this worthwhile learning experience.
Through the collaborative, school-wide efforts of the Leadership Team,Data Success Team, Student Advisory PLC,
Advisory Curriculum PLC, Common Core Facilitators,faculty, Student Chiefs, and Positive Behavior Intervention
Supports(PBIS)we strive to incorporate our mission statement, academic expectations,and six core values(respect,
responsibility, integrity, compassion, achievement, safety)within our school community.
The dedicated teachers and inquiring students,along with a supportive administration and staff,make Agawam High
chool a place to belong and a place where students are free to engage and succeed in an advanced learning environment.

Department of Special Services
Profile
The Agawam Public Schools Department of Special Services, located at 760 Cooper Street,
coordinates the delivery of special education and related services to approximately 650 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.
The supports and services provided by the Department of Special Services ensure that students
with disabilities receive a Free and Appropriate Public Education(FAPE) in the Least Restrictive
Environment(LRE). To support the needs of diverse learners,the Department of Special
Services offers a continuum of services including: consultation to classroom teachers and
parents, diagnostic services, intervention services, related services(adaptive physical education,
assistive technology, audiology, counseling, medical services, occupational therapy, orientation
and mobility training, physical therapy, speech therapy, special transportation, and transition
services), and instructional programming.
In order to facilitate a successful transition to post-high school activities, including independent
living, employment, and higher education,the Department of Special Services begins the process
of transition planning when eligible students turn 14 and coordinates its activities with adult
service 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.

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
The Agawam Early Childhood Program has expanded this year by adding an
additional preschool classroom. This was necessary due to an increase in
special education referrals at the preschool level. The district allocated
space at James Clark School given the space constraints at the ECC. Two
classrooms are currently being utilized as preschool classrooms.
ECC continues to implement 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.
i
The use of the Work Sampling on-line assessment system continues to be
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 holds events such as Math Night, Science Night, and Literacy events.
This are enjoyed by participants and helps to support the school family
connection.
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.
ECG has implemented Focused Instructional Groups that engage children in
small group activities in math and ELA./Reading skill development. We have
developed guidelines for the groups and consistent assessment strategies.
ECC is working on implementation of the Common Core by reviewing the
standards and developing systems to ensure all standards are being covered
by the curriculum.
