School Report Card  Click here to view Davis Thayer's report card for No Child Left Behind. May 2010 Dear Parent or Guardian: We are pleased to share our school “report card” for the current year. It has been posted on our school's main web page http://www.franklin.ma.us/auto/schools/FPS/instruct/NCLBRptCd/default.htm The report and NCLB glossary are also available in our main office. The report contains important information about teacher qualifications, student achievement on Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) tests, and the progress we are making toward helping all students become proficient in English language arts and mathematics. The information in the report card is divided into three parts: Part II: Student Achievement Part III: School Accountability Part I provides information about the qualifications of the teachers in our school and district. This portion of the report is based upon the NCLB regulations that all classroom teachers must be “highly qualified” by June of 2007. “Highly Qualified” teachers hold a valid Massachusetts teacher’s license and have demonstrated content knowledge in all assigned subject areas. This data is based upon the district's Educational Personnel Information Management System (EPIMS) report to the Department of Education. This data does not reflect teachers who have been identified as highly qualified since the October 1st data was submitted to the Department of Education. Many of the district’s teachers are new hires and have submitted all requirements to the state for “highly qualified” status. However, the tremendous backlog of paperwork at the Department of Education has delayed the awarding of “highly qualified” status to highly qualified teachers. Part II summarizes how our school’s students scored on the spring 2008 English Language Arts, Mathematics MCAS examinations. Part III indicates whether or not our school is on target to meet the goal of all students reaching proficiency in English Language Arts and mathematics by 2014, a fundamental goal of the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). In accordance with NCLB, schools that do not make sufficient progress (AYP) toward this goal are identified for ‘improvement’, ‘corrective action’, or ‘restructuring’.
We are happy to help you if you have further questions about what this report card means. Please feel free to call me directly if I can be of additional assistance to you, or should you prefer a copy of the report sent to your home. Sincerely, Shirley A. Babcock, Principal Click here to view Davis Thayer's report card for No Child Left Behind. |
