From the Desk of the Principal: Traffic: Double parking continues to be a major problem during morning drop off and afternoon pickup. This is illegal and I have had to address this with many parents over the past month. The police have addressed this as well through ticketing and they will continue to do so. I see this problem happening most often at the front door area and those who are doing this are causing a huge traffic jam and a very dangerous situation for children. Do not double-park to drop off or pick up your children. Pull up to the next available spot by the curb. A few more steps for safety, even in the rain, snow and cold, is the right thing to do. The teacher parking lot is not a drop off or pick up location. ISAT ISAT testing will begin on Monday, March 2nd through Thursday, March 5th. Students in third, fourth and fifth grades will be tested in the morning and in the afternoon each day. We will be starting the testing early in the morning and it will be very important that students be at school on time. The subjects they are being tested on are things they are learning throughout the year as well as previous years. Please let your students know, as I have, that this is important, but they are well prepared for success. Parent input forms for student placement: On March 11th report cards will be going home. In the report card envelope there will be a letter and form from me providing parents an opportunity to give input on your child’s placement for next year. This is not mandatory, but it can be helpful. It is very important that you follow the directions on the form and get the form back to us by the deadline, which will be March 19th. We do not take teacher requests. Book Fair The Franklin PTA is having the Spring Book Fair from March 10th through March 12th. This is a great opportunity to shop for a variety of gifts and also get your child and yourself a special book for Spring Break reading. There will be books available for children as well as adults. This year we have set up a special time available for Kindergarten Parents on Tuesday during the lunch hour. Parent Conferences: On March 5th teachers will be sending notices home requesting parent conferences. Conferences will be held on Thursday March 12th and Monday March 16th from 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Winterfest Thank you to the Franklin PTA, all of the parent volunteers, everyone who contributed and everyone who attended Winterfest! It was a great success on many levels. Fundraising was outstanding, prizes were abundant and we had a great turnout of families. I know a lot of work went into this event, but the result of bringing the community together during a time when people usually stay inside makes it all worthwhile. Dan Walsh [email protected]

MARCH IS YOUTH ART MONTH AND WE ARE CELEBRATING AT FRANKLIN SCHOOL!! The entire week of March 9 – March 13, the PTA will be sponsoring Ellen Gradman, our “visiting artist”. Ellen will be working with each class during their regularly scheduled art time. Ellen made one of the Cool Globes featured downtown Chicago in the summer of 2007 and also one of the chairs in Suite Home Chicago in 2001! Her globe just got back from Washington D. C. She taught art for years while making art and now makes art full time…all day, every day!! (You can check out her website: sparkyourart.com) She will be making books with the entire school. I’m really excited about this whole school project!! Students will have the chance to meet a real artist and ask her questions about her life and art!! To kick the week off, we will be having a Cultural Arts Presentation on Monday, March 9th. It will take place in the LRC. We would like to ask each student to please bring in a few items for collage purposes. Some ideas for materials would be: Maps Cancelled stamps Wrapping paper scraps Old postcards Doilies Ticket stubs Deck of cards Old baseball cards Scrapbooking materials Brochures from vacations Envelopes that have been sent through the mail Old Museum admission tickets Anything else you can think of!! Look for the final product at Open House!! If you have any questions, please contact me!! Mrs. Hurley

EIS/RtI PARENT NEWS As part of our home/school communication with parents, we will be sending you a DIBELS “well check” report with your child’s 2nd trimester report cards. DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) are the universal reading screening assessments that are given to our kindergarten through 5th grade students. DIBELS are a series of short tests given to screen and monitor student progress in learning the necessary skills to become successful readers. All DIBELS measures are timed in order to help students develop the automaticity of basic reading skills, so they can become more focused on understanding what they are reading. Students are given different assessments based on their developmental reading levels. These include the following: Letter Naming - Kindergarten and first grade students are given a page with letters and asked to name each one. This test can help us determine which students are likely to struggle and which will be successful readers in the future. Initial Sounds - By the middle of kindergarten, children should be able to say or recognize the beginning sounds in words automatically. Students are given a page with four pictures. They are asked to find the picture that starts with a particular sound or to say the beginning or initial sound in a word. Phoneme Segmentation - This is a measure of children’s awareness of the many sounds that make up words we speak. It is given to kindergarten and first grade students and is a skill that should be mastered by the end of kindergarten. The child is told a word like “cat” and asked to say all of the sounds in the word. There are three sounds in “cat.” Nonsense Words - The ability to blend sounds represented by letters to make words is an important skill in learning to read. This skill helps children in kindergarten, first and second grades to use their knowledge of the relationship between letters and sounds to read unfamiliar words. Children are shown a page of make-believe words, like “tob” or “miv,” and asked to read them by saying the individual sound of each letter in the word or the whole word itself. Oral Reading - This is a measure of how fluently and accurately children can read passages written at their grade level. This test is given to students in first through fifth grade. Children are given three passages and asked to read each one aloud for one minute. Children who read accurately and fluently are better able to understand what they read. Here are some ways that you can support your child’s reading development at home… • Practice the sounds of the English language • Help your child take spoken and written words apart and put them together • Point out the letters and letter-sound relationships that your child is learning wherever you see them • Listen to your child read words and books on a regular basis • Reread familiar books for practice and developing expression • Build reading accuracy by pointing out words your child reads incorrectly • Build reading comprehension by asking questions about characters, sequence of events, and what occurred in the passage or book Lynne Farmer, Ed.D.

LUNCH PROGRAM NEWS…. 7

What kind of training do we provide for our staff? Every October we provide CPR/First Aid training presented by the Park Ridge Fire Dept. paramedics. The American Heart Association designed these Heartsaver CPR and First Aid courses to meet the regulatory and credentialed requirements for child care workers. Each year we alternate classes. This year we had training for First Aid. The course provided training for those who have a duty to respond to first aid emergencies in the lunch program and before school care. The course gave us information on how to manage illnesses and injuries in a child during the first few minutes until professional help arrives. The core course content covered: first aid basics, medical emergencies, injury emergencies and environmental emergencies. Every year the lunch staff/before school care personnel attends a Civil Behavior presentation given by our district social workers. This time we had Laura Bolech from Carpenter and Cathy Reardon from Roosevelt who introduced a variety of tools and information to our staff to use during lunchtime. Some of the topics were: • Bullying • Teasing • Avoid conflict • Problem identification The Civil Behavior presentation was very informative and gave us better ideas on how to serve our children at lunchtime and before school care. If you have questions about the Franklin Lunch Program throughout the year you may e-mail Carol Gonzalez, Head Supervisor [email protected] Natalie Blachut Lunch Program Consultant

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 23, 2009

District 64!! Captures 2009 Bright Red Apple Award for Educational Excellence Park Ridge-Niles School District 64 is one of only 81 Illinois school districts to earn the 2009 Bright Red Apple Award for educational excellence from SchoolSearch, an independent research and consulting firm. It is the 15th year that District 64 has been selected. Only 9% of Illinois school districts earned the award this year. All school districts in Illinois – a total of 868 – were considered using standard, objective data reported on the 2008 Illinois State Report Cards. “The fact that District 64 has earned this award for 15 years underscores the strong, unwavering commitment of this community to high quality education. We hope local residents share our pride in this unusual achievement, which recognizes their deep support for schools,” Superintendent Sally Pryor added. The honor is based on five essential factors: academic performance, pupil/teacher ratio, expenditure per pupil, educational level of teachers, and average teacher salary. “District 64 is strong in all five family-favored areas,” according to SchoolSearch. #
