Other Locally Determined Indicators

Goal 4-- students will use technology in developing proficiency in reading and math.  Here is what

H-M-S did using technology.

HIGH SCHOOL HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE - 16 Intel MacBooks were added, and the wireless access point was upgraded.  New Intel iMacs replaced older Intel iMacs in a computer lab, and the Intel iMacs were moved to the Media Center computer lab and replaced eMacs. OpenOffice was updated on all computers. The additional MacBooks, newer computers in the Media Center computer lab and upgraded network access will help students go online for classes such as Biology and Anatomy that use online textbooks, and will also encourage students to make better use of the online resources provided by the AEA consortium. 

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE -  The subscription to Accelerated Math was renewed, the Accelerated Reader subscription was changed to the Enterprise version, and the hosting server was changed to Renaissance Learning's server so that the AM and AR curriculum could be accessible from any computer with a Web browser, and from outside the school building.

MIDDLE SCHOOL HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE - The north Macintosh lab was upgraded from eMacs to iMac computers with the Leopard operating system. Web browsers were updated so that students would be able to more effectively utilize the newest Iowa AEA Online databases. 

Goal 5-students will demonstrate improvement of student-to-student respect.  HMS continued with the Hands pledge K-8. Iowa Youth Surveys will be given every two years instead of every 3 years. When the surveys results are received, special analysis time will be given to monitor the progress of this goal.  Harassment and bullying prevention skills will be taught and reviewed in the PK-8 guidance classroom.

Next year’s annual goal is: Students will demonstrate improvement of students' perception of school climate.

Early Intervention Goals

4th grade reading goal - All students will achieve at the proficient level of achievement according to Iowa Test of Basic Skills.

Annual 4th grade reading goal - students will show a 2% increase in achievement based on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills compared to the previous year.

Title I Parent Involvement Policy

2010-2011

Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn Community School District

It has been proven that a parent’s involvement in a child’s education will accelerate learning. The Title I program at H-M-S is dedicated to providing the best education possible. Therefore, parents, students, principal and teachers work together in the following manner.

Parents are involved in the planning, review, and improvement of the school’s parent involvement policy.

Parents are informed of the Title I program, the requirements of the program, and their right

to be involved. This information is distributed in the fall.

Parents confer with Title I teachers on scheduled conference days and others as desired.

Parents are involved in the planning, review, and improvement of the Title I program.

Parent input is used in planning/revising the Title I program.

Our Title I program is a targeted assistance program. Our school is not a school in need of assistance.

The school provides parents of participating children with timely information about the Title I program. Parents are provided with an informational packet each fall or upon their child’s entry to the program.

The school helps parents understand standards and assessments, and how to monitor progress. This information is given in the Community Report Card, which is available to all school patrons.

The school provides the opportunity for parents to formulate suggestions and to participate in decisions relating to the education of their children. Parent suggestions are encouraged and responded to as soon as is practicably possible. A parent survey is sent home annually.

The school-parent compact was jointly developed with parents and shows how the entire school staff, parents, and students share responsibility for improved student achievement. Parents are invited to review and revise the parent involvement policy in the spring. The school teaching staff reviews the ITBS scores and targets areas of weakness.

The school provides materials and training to help parents work with their children to improve their achievement. Help includes: a school web-site, media center web-site, video training, sending books home, teachers are available to parents.
