Reflections on the 2007-08 School Year
As we begin our second year as Roosevelt Elementary School, it is clear there is still work to do, and we have a plan to do it. We have a great foundation on which to build our plan and school community: our students, parents, staff and even the wider city of Port Angeles. We have a community that tirelessly lends its support through special events, donations, and volunteerism to make it possible for our teachers and staff to continually provide a quality education for our children.
Areas of strength:
- Our kindergarten through third grade math instructional practice and materials have produced a percentage of students reaching third grade standard that has been consistently above the current AYP mark: 74.2% (AYP=64.9%) for the past three years (includes Fairview data).
- Our cohort of 2008-09 sixth grade students has consistently reached standard in reading from their third grade WASL assessment through fifth grade: 77.9% (AYP=76.1%).
- The district attendance policy has supported our building system of communication with parents and outside agencies that have resulted in less than .5% unexcused absences.
Plans for the 2008-09 School Year
Student Learning. Roosevelt’s three highest priorities this school year are: (1) Developing and piloting a Response to Intervention (RTI) reading support model; (2) supporting grade level teams in their evolution to becoming highly functioning Professional Learning Communities (PLCs); and (3) pulling out all the stops in supporting our students’ mathematics learning.
Because reading is fundamental to nearly all learning, it is at the core of everything we do. Roosevelt’s master schedule (physical education, music, lunch, recess) was planned around reading support. Our RTI support team, including classroom teachers, Title I staff, and special education staff, works to bring small group reading instruction to our students. Students who need the most intense instruction receive help in the smallest groups by the teachers with the most resources.
Professional Development. Teachers will create the best learning environments by meeting and using common assessments to monitor progress of specific student needs. This type of organization requires professional development which will be provided by building and district resources. As teachers learn more about their students, curriculum, assessments, and best practices, and share these among themselves, they develop PLCs. PLCs will also focus on students’ mathematics learning. Teachers will work together with adoption specialists to study student data and match student needs with best instructional practices.
School Climate. We have a facility that is second to none in the Port Angeles School District. We have an experienced staff with a diverse set of backgrounds, and house a special education team whose teachers and students model what true dedication and determination mean. We continue to partner with the Roosevelt PTA and Port Angeles Education Foundation to bring the following enrichment experiences to our students: (1) Pacific Science Center Assembly and classroom lessons (grade K-6); (2) Tears of Joy Puppet Theater Performance and Workshop sessions (grade K-6). Other Enrichment Opportunities: (1) Story Telling by Daddy Don and Dennis Duncan every other Tuesday for K-2 classrooms and others; (2) Student led school-wide assemblies; (3) Reading Dogs; (4) Worm Bin Composting Project; (5) African Pen-pals for grade 2 students; (6) Math Olympiad for grades 5 and 6; (7) Classroom-based enrichments; and (8) Port Angeles Symphony Adventures in Music.
How Can You Help?
Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed. But not all children learn in the same way at the same time. Our parents, friends of Roosevelt students, and our community are all instrumental in providing the additional support that makes learning at Roosevelt motivating and rewarding. We need your support to continue our rich history of an elementary school that cares for kids and celebrates success. Please call us at 360.452.8973.
Use and Condition of Building
Roosevelt Elementary School, built in 1978, housed Roosevelt Middle School students until June 2007. The facility now supports kindergarten though grade six classrooms, as well as outdoor fields and two large gyms for district and community recreation. The physical evaluation of this education facility is rated 53% based on a January 7, 2008 study and survey by BLRB Architects. Facility Use and Conditions Report available at the Port Angeles School District office.
