SCHOOL ATTENDANCE: A KEY TO SUCCESS

Did you know that school attendance is one of the most important factors in a student’s academic success? Research has shown that your child’s attendance record may be the biggest factor influencing your child’s academic success. By attending class regularly, your child is more likely to keep up with daily lessons and assignments, and take quizzes and tests on time. By teaching our students the importance of being present in school, they are more likely to become productive citizens in our community.

We understand that illnesses do arise and there will be times your child may not be able to make it to school. Please call the school nurse on the morning of your child’s absence. In addition, parents are asked to send a note to school with their child after each absence explaining the reason for the absence. All medical appointments will not be considered excused (legal) until a written confirmation is received from the medical provider. Failure to send the note will result in the absence being coded as unexcused. Remember………..every day counts.

Please encourage your child to arrive on time each day. Middle/High School students need to be in their homerooms by 7:50 AM. Elementary students need to be in their homerooms by 7:53 AM.

Please note: In order to be recognized for perfect attendance, a student must be on time each day and remain in

school until dismissed. Any combination of two tardies or two early dismissals during the school year will be

excused as long as a note is given to the nurse.

A message from Superintendent Sanders…

Every new school year is a chance for new beginnings and I am looking forward to what the coming year has in store. This year, some new “light” will be shed on our students, literally! We have brand new energy efficient lighting throughout our halls and classrooms. This project was completed through the National Grid Energy Conservation Program which covered 80% of the installation cost. The energy project will bring savings for years to come. The building is looking terrific for the start of the new school year. I would like to thank all of our summer staff who have worked so diligently over the past two months.

Security and risk assessment… In June, the district completed a security and risk assessment through a Western New York risk management and advisory firm. The assessment pinpointed areas of the building and grounds where some improvements could be made. We are in the process of revising our security plan and protocol to insure even better safety of our students and staff. These changes may include how entrances are used throughout the day. Please bear with us as we make the necessary adjustments.

Academic rankings improve one again… Every June, Business First ranks all Western New York schools based on academic performance. Whitesville has made improvements over the past 9 years with marked improvements over the past 3. This improvement comes from the hard work and dedication of teachers, staff and students. It also comes from the hard work and expectations of parents and families. Thank you for being part of our success!

Technology enhancements… As we move toward enhancing our technology in the district, I’m happy to announce that all 5th -12th graders will have access to a one-to-one laptops to use in all classes. 9th-12th graders will be allowed to take their laptops home for use but 5th -8th graders will keep them stored in their classrooms after school. As we all know, technology can help engage students in their learning but it still requires strong teachers who create the content that makes learning meaningful. There will be a meeting for all 11th and 12th grade students and their parents to go over laptop rules and paperwork on Wednesday, August 29th so that computers can be distributed. Freshman will meet on Tuesday, August 28th for their orientation and laptops. Tenth graders will receive theirs on the first day of school. If there are new 10th graders in the district, they and their parents should come to the August 29th meeting.

Principal Emery’s Message…

Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year! I would like to give a special Blue Jay welcome to our new teacher, Ms.

Crittenden (Middle/High Special Education). You will be able to meet her at our Open House scheduled for September

5th, 5:00-6:30 PM.

Keep connected! Please follow us on Twitter (@wcsbluejays) and check out our website (whitesvillsd.org). These are

great ways to keep you informed and up to date! Plus, we love to celebrate our students, school and community. We are

always proud to post pictures for everyone to see.

It is so important with a new school year that all expectations are clear and followed by all. All students who are

dropped off must be dropped off in the front main parking lot in front of the big gym doors to allow your child to get out

onto the side walk safely and to allow other cars the same consideration. Also, please look through your child’s

schedule. If your child has study hall listed please remind them that this time is for studying, completing homework,

getting academic support, and reading. This is not a “free-time” or “recess-time.” Our school has high expectations for

learning and this time will be used for educational purposes only.

Parent Portal accounts are available to all parents who have students in grades 5th – 12th. This allows you to see your

child’s assignments and grades, as well as their schedule and attendance. See our website to get registered.

Our Annual Title I Parent meeting is scheduled for September 5th at the beginning of open house. If you would like

information regarding our RtI (Response to Intervention) services, please stop by Mrs. Tronetti and Mr. Rawady’s

classroom at 5:00.

I am so proud to report that our school looks amazing, our buses are ready to go, and our offices have been working

steadily to end one school year and begin another. This takes a lot of hard work and many dedicated people! Thank

you to everyone for your help!

I look forward to seeing you at Open House and on the Soccer sidelines.

Take care and always live Happy, Healthy, Safe, and Strong!

Mrs. Tammy Emery

Mark your calendars! Open House September 5 @ 5:00-6:30

Reminder – Now that your children are back in school, please make sure their clothing is appropriate for the school environment. All shorts and skirts must reach beyond the student’s fingertips and no underclothes may be seen at

any time. Thank you parents for being our 1st line of support! (Refer to our Code of Conduct located on our school

website.)

SCHOOL VISITORS

The board encourages parents and other district citizens to visit Whitesville School to observe the work of students,

teachers and other staff. Since schools are a place of work and learning, however, certain limits must be set for such

visits. The building principal or her designee is responsible for all persons in the building and on the grounds. For these

reasons, the following rules apply to visitors to the schools:

1. Anyone who is not a regular staff member or student of the school will be considered a visitor.

2. All visitors to the school will be buzzed in from the main entrance interior doors and must report to the main office

upon arrival at the school. There they are required to sign the visitor’s register and will be issued a visitor’s

identification badge, which must be worn at all times while in the school or on school grounds. The visitor must return

the identification badge to the main office before leaving the building.

3. Visitors attending school functions that are open to the public, such as parent-teacher meetings or public gatherings are

not required to register.

4. Parents or citizens who wish to observe a classroom while school is in session are required to arrange such visits in

advance with the classroom teacher(s), so that class disruption is kept to a minimum.

5. Teachers are expected not to take class time to discuss individual matters with visitors.

6. Any unauthorized person on school property will be reported to the principal or her designee. Unauthorized persons

will be asked to leave. The police may be called if the situation warrants.

7. All visitors are expected to abide by the rules for public conduct on school property contained in this code of conduct.

Tessa Levitt, Director of Curriculum, Instruction & Professional Development

Standards Based Grading for Preschool - 4th

Whitesville CSD Preschool through 4th grade will transition to Standards Based

Grading (SBG) beginning with the upcoming school year. Standards Based Grading is

a system of reporting proficiency on a number of specific learning standards. Rather

than give students ONE grade for a specific content area, this system gives students a

number of scores that represent their proficiency in each of the content standards

assessed. SBG reports on effort and work habits separately, so that the grades received are based on the student’s

achievement toward the standard.

What will be assessed?

There are several New York State Next Generation Academic Standards for each content area according to each

grade level. The teachers have identified specific standards each student should master in the area of ELA, Math,

Science, SS, Art, Music and PE. Students will be expected to show evidence they understand or have mastered each

standard. The evidence can be in the form of a class assignment, project, test, assessment, collaborative

conversations, or observation by the teacher.

What will be on the Report Card?

Parents in grades Pk-4 will see each content area standard listed on the report card. The scores (4-1) will represent

the student’s level of understanding and mastery for each content standards. The score on the report card will

indicate how a student is doing based on the teacher’s expectation at that particular time within the school year.

Standards remain the same, however, expectations increase as the year progresses. Teachers will use the following

scores on the report card:

4 Exceeding: the student is meeting above grade level expectations. Performance is

characterized by the ability to apply skills with consistent accuracy, independence and

high level quality.

3 Proficient: the students is meeting grade level expectations. Performance is

characterized by a thorough understanding of the concepts and skills

2 Approaching: the student is approaching grade level expectations. The performance

is characterized by a partial ability to apply skills with increasing success.

Performance varies in accuracy, quality, consistency and levels of support

1 Below: the student is not meeting grade level expectations. Performance does not

demonstrate understanding of the basic skills and concepts. Performance is

inconsistent, even with guidance and support

NA: Not Assessed at this time

Whitesville Central School

School Calendar2018-2019

24-31

Dear Parent/Guardian:

Children need healthy meals to learn. Whitesville Central School offers healthy meals every school day. Breakfast costs $1.00; lunch costs $2.15. Your children may qualify for free meals or for reduced price meals. Reduced price is $0.25 for breakfast and $0.25 for lunch.

1. DO I NEED TO FILL OUT AN APPLICATION FOR EACH CHILD? No. Complete the application to apply for free or reduced price meals. Use one Free and Reduced Price School Meals Application for all students in your household. We cannot approve an application that is not complete, so be sure to fill out all required information. Return the completed application to: Joan Coleman, 692 Main Street Whitesville NY 14897.

2. WHO CAN GET FREE MEALS? All children in households receiving benefits from SNAP, the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations or TANF, can get free meals regardless of your income. Categorical eligibility for free meal benefits is extended to all children in a household when the application lists an Assistance Program’s case number for any household member. Also, your children can get free meals if your household’s gross income is within the free limits on the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines. Households with children who are categorically eligible through an Other Source Categorically Eligible designation, as defined by law, may be eligible for free benefits and should contact the SFA for assistance in receiving benefits.

3. CAN FOSTER CHILDREN GET FREE MEALS? Yes, foster children that are under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court, are eligible for free meals. Any foster child in the household is eligible for free meals regardless of income. Foster children may also be included as a member of the foster family if the foster family chooses to also apply for benefits for other children. If non-foster children in a foster family are not eligible for free or reduced price meal benefits, an eligible foster child will still receive free benefits.

4. CAN HOMELESS, RUNAWAY, AND MIGRANT CHILDREN GET FREE MEALS? Yes, children who meet the definition of homeless, runaway, or migrant qualify for free meals. If you haven’t been told your children will get free meals, please call or e-mail Tammy Emery, 607-356-3301, extension 223, temery@whitesvillesd.org to see if they qualify.

5. WHO CAN GET REDUCED PRICE MEALS? Your children can get low cost meals if your household income is within the reduced price limits on the Federal Eligibility Income Chart, shown on this application.

6. SHOULD I FILL OUT AN APPLICATION IF I RECEIVED A LETTER THIS SCHOOL YEAR SAYING MY CHILDREN ARE APPROVED FOR FREE MEALS? Please read the letter you got carefully and follow the instructions. Call the school at [607-356-3301 ext. 231] if you have questions.

7. MY CHILD’S APPLICATION WAS APPROVED LAST YEAR. DO I NEED TO FILL OUT ANOTHER ONE? Yes. Your child’s application is only good for that school year and for the first 30 operating days of this school year. You must send in a new application unless the school told you that your child is eligible for the new school year.

8. I GET WIC. CAN MY CHILD(REN) GET FREE MEALS? Children in households participating in WIC may be eligible for free or reduced price meals. Please fill out a FREE/REDUCED PRICE MEAL application.

9. WILL THE INFORMATION I GIVE BE CHECKED? Yes and we may also ask you to send written proof. 10. IF I DON’T QUALIFY NOW, MAY I APPLY LATER? Yes, you may apply at any time during the school year. For example, children with a parent

or guardian who becomes unemployed may become eligible for free and reduced price meals if the household income drops below the income limit.

11. WHAT IF I DISAGREE WITH THE SCHOOL’S DECISION ABOUT MY APPLICATION? You should talk to school officials. You also may ask for a hearing by calling or writing to: J.Erdmann, 692 Main St. Whitesville NY 14897, jerdmann@whitesvillesd.org.

12. MAY I APPLY IF SOMEONE IN MY HOUSEHOLD IS NOT A U.S. CITIZEN? Yes. You or your child(ren) do not have to be U.S. citizens to qualify for free or reduced price meals.

13. WHO SHOULD I INCLUDE AS MEMBERS OF MY HOUSEHOLD? You must include all people living in your household, related or not (such as grandparents, other relatives, or friends) who share income and expenses. You must include yourself and all children living with you. If you live with other people who are economically independent (for example, people who you do not support, who do not share income with you or your children, and who pay a pro-rated share of expenses), do not include them.

14. WHAT IF MY INCOME IS NOT ALWAYS THE SAME? List the amount that you normally receive. For example, if you normally make $1000 each month, but you missed some work last month and only made $900, put down that you made $1000 per month. If you normally get overtime, include it, but do not include it if you only work overtime sometimes. If you have lost a job or had your hours or wages reduced, use your current income.

15. WE ARE IN THE MILITARY. DO WE INCLUDE OUR HOUSING ALLOWANCE AS INCOME? If you get an off-base housing allowance, it must be included as income. However, if your housing is part of the Military Housing Privatization Initiative, do not include your housing allowance as income.

16. MY SPOUSE IS DEPLOYED TO A COMBAT ZONE. IS HER COMBAT PAY COUNTED AS INCOME? No, if the combat pay is received in addition to her basic pay because of her deployment and it wasn’t received before she was deployed, combat pay is not counted as income. Contact your school for more information.

How to Apply: To get free or reduced price meals for your children carefully complete one application following the instructions for your household and return it to the designated office listed on the application. If you now receive SNAP, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) for any children, or participate in the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), the application must include the children's names, the household SNAP, TANF or FDPIR case number and the signature of an adult household member. All children should be listed on the same application. If you do not list a SNAP, TANF or FDPIR case number for any household member, the application must include the names of everyone in the household, the amount of income each household member, and how often it is received and where it comes from. It must include the signature of an adult household member and the last four digits of that adult's social security number, or check the box if the adult does not have a social security number. An application that is not complete cannot be approved. Contact your local Department of Social Services for your SNAP or TANF case number or complete the income portion of the application. No application is necessary if the household was notified by the SFA their children have been directly certified. If the household is not sure if their children have been directly certified, the household should contact the school.

Reporting Changes: The benefits that you are approved for at the time of application are effective for the entire school year. You no longer need to report changes for an increase in income or decrease in household size, or if you no longer receive SNAP.

Income Exclusions: The value of any child care provided or arranged, or any amount received as payment for such child care or reimbursement for costs incurred for such care under the Child Care Development (Block Grant) Fund should not be considered as income for this program.

In the operation of child feeding programs, no child will be discriminated against because of race, sex, color, national origin, age or disability

Nondiscrimination Statement: This explains what to do if you believe you have been treated unfairly.

In accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA. Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.), should contact the Agency (State or local) where they applied for benefits. Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339. Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English. To file a program complaint of discrimination, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, (AD-3027) found online at: http://www.ascr.usda.gov/complaint_filing_cust.html, and at any USDA office, or write a letter addressed to USDA and provide in the letter all of the information requested in the form. To request a copy of the complaint form, call (866) 632-9992. Submit your completed form or letter to USDA by: (1) Mail: U.S. Department of Agriculture (2) Fax: (202) 690-7442; or (3) Email: program.intake@usda.gov.

Meal Service to Children With Disabilities: Federal regulations require schools and institutions to serve meals at no extra charge to children with a disability which may restrict their diet. A student with a disability is defined in 7CFR Part 15b.3 of Federal regulations, as one who has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities. Major life activities are defined to include functions such as caring for one’s self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working. You must request the special meals from the school and provide the school with medical certification from a medical doctor. If you believe your child needs substitutions because of a disability, please get in touch with us for further information, as there is specific information that the medical certification must contain.

Confidentiality: The United States Department of Agriculture has approved the release of students names and eligibility status, without parent/guardian consent, to persons directly connected with the administration or enforcement of federal education programs such as Title I and the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), which are United States Department of Education programs used to determine areas such as the allocation of funds to schools, to evaluate socioeconomic status of the school's attendance area, and to assess educational progress. Information may also be released to State health or State education programs administered by the State agency or local education agency, provided the State or local education agency administers the program, and federal State or local nutrition programs similar to the National School Lunch Program. Additionally, all information contained in the free and reduced price application may be released to persons directly connected with the administration or enforcement of programs authorized under the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) or Child Nutrition Act (CNA); including the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, the Special Milk Program, the Child and Adult Care Food Program, Summer Food Service Program and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women Infants and Children (WIC); the Comptroller General of the United States for audit purposes, and federal, State or local law enforcement officials investigating alleged violation of the programs under the NSLA or CNA. Reapplication: You may apply for benefits any time during the school year. Also, if you are not eligible now, but during the school year become unemployed, have a decrease in household income, or an increase in family size you may request and complete an application at that time. The disclosure of eligibility information not specifically authorized by the NSLA requires a written consent statement from the parent/guardian. We will let you know when your application is approved or denied. Sincerely, Laurie Sanders, Superintendent

Parents of Students,

We looking forward to another school year and being able to work together to transport your children safely to and from school. Below are some rules you and your children need to know before the school year begins. Please go over the rules with them so they are prepared for the year.

Bus Safety Rules

Wear clothes that can be easily seen

Be at the bus stop 5 minutes before the bus is to arrive.

Make sure to stay away from the road and out of the DANGER ZONE which is 15 feet around the bus on all

sides.

Move toward the bus after

the doors are open and

driver gives you the signal to

cross or board and go

directly to a seat so we don’t

hold up traffic.

Never throw things on the

bus or out the windows or

stick your hands or feet out

the windows.

Keep the aisle clear.

Talk softly and stay seated

on the bus, any distraction

can cause the driver to lose

focus on the task of

delivering the students safely.

Pay attention to the bus driver.

Only get off the bus at your designated stop. If you need to get off the bus at another stop please have a

note from your parents. Parents: If your child is getting off at a different stop please put the name and ad

dress of the stop. There may be a substitute driver who will need the information.

Please do not move from your seat until you reach your stop.

If you leave something on the bus please do not try to get back on the bus, the driver may not see

you. If you drop something please move to a safe place outside the door of the bus and let the driver

know then they can help you.

No eating or drinking on the bus. This is for the students safety so they don’t choke and to keep the bus

Clean.
