Roswell School Board overseeing a variety of projects JULIA BERGMAN RECORD STAFF WRITER

The Roswell Independent School District will hand over the reins to a new leader and feature a curriculum founded upon a new grading system handed down from the state’s Public Education Department, all while striving to produce the best education environment for Roswell students this upcoming school year.

With the new school year comes a novel set of approaches for the RISD School Board. The board will continue to face tough economic times, resulting in budget cuts and tight finances.

The board will be tasked with understanding and implementing the rankings and recommendations of the state’s new A-F grading system. This month, the PED

unveiled report cards for 831 elementary, middle and high schools. The new curriculum introduced to the district last year will see a revamp based upon these state evaluations.

School Board secretary Pauline Ponce said a number of areas will be targeted based on the new grading system. School Board vice president James Waldrip, a retired educator of 45 years, said he was impressed with the number of teachers who have already put in full days this summer in preparation for the new school year.

The board is preparing to work with a new superintendent, who it hopes can continue upon Mike Gottlieb’s tenure of “complete honesty and unyielding commitment to children and their education opportunities,” said

Mackenzie Hunt, school board president. “We’re not looking for any radical changes or any huge problems that need to be fixed, just to continue at a steady pace towards improving education for Roswell’s kids every school year,” Hunt said.

He added that the board will help the new superintendent transition into the community.

Ponce said the board is looking forward to working with the new superintendent and, “having a real strong and good relationship with that individual so that individual can continue to move our district forward.”

Yet school board member Dr. Peggy Brewer noted the ultimate focus is on student achievement.

And board member Eloy Ortega Jr., emphasized the importance of motivation and “getting the students excited about going to

school, learning … and finding new ways to educate our children.”

“There’s always room for improvement but I think we’re fortunate to have the teachers and the administrative staff that we currently have on board,” Waldrip said.

Just under a year ago, a bond election was held to allow for the continuation of the remodeling or replacement of four elementary schools already approved by the Public School Capital Outlay Council. The PSCOC is a state body, which provides grant money to schools based on need.

Of the 2,047 votes cast, 1,659 ballots were cast in favor of the bond while 388 ballots were cast against it. The general obligation bond paid for 28 percent of the cost for remodeling or replacing four area elementary schools

(Berrendo, Military Heights, El Capitan and Valley View), and the remodeling of Roswell and Goddard high schools and Parkview Early Literacy Center. El Capitan will be a replacement school, similar to Missouri Avenue Elementary School.

The board and the RISD will continue to oversee the construction set forth under that bond.

The new Missouri Avenue Elementary School is expected to be dedicated in August. And construction is set to begin shortly on the new Capitan Elementary School.

“I think we’ve done good in utilizing bond money and improving the school infrastructure,” Hunt said.

Of the new school year, Waldrip said, “I’m optimistic. I believe in Roswell as a community and also the fact that our community has always supported our schools.”

New Mexico Military Institute readies for school year JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

New Mexico Military Institute is the nation's oldest state-supported co-educational college preparatory military high school and junior college.

Established in 1891, under the name of the Goss Military Academy, by Capt. James C. Lea and Col. Robert Goss, the school boasted an initial enrollment of 28 students.

Carl Hansen, NMMI marketing director, said that this year, NMMI is expecting between 920 and 960 students. The Academy prep program, for those cadets who plan to go into the Air Force, Marine Corps and Merchant Marines, have some 80 students enrolled.

Starting in the fall of 2012, NMMI is charging into the future with North Central Association of Schools and Colleges, “AdvancED,” accreditation.” The goal of AdvancED is to promote excellence in worldwide education.

The staf f at NMMI is also reaching their hands across the border. “We are entering into a cross-country agreement with the state of Sonora, making it easier for Mexican students to get into NMMI and getting their credits to transfer back,” said Hansen.

They are also extending their reach in the area of aeronautics and aviation. “We are about to finalize an agreement with Embry Riddle (Aeronautical) University that will allow students to transfer credits. The MOU (memorandum of understanding) will provide a stepping stone for students who want to continue a career in aviation. ... We have a flight program already,” said Hansen.

The Daniels Leadership Center, which opened in 2006, will be

expanding too. “The school officials and students will be working together devising a How to Build Character Program which they can share with other schools across the nation.”

NMMI is dedicated to training the whole person for leadership roles. The school offers small class sizes and low student-toteacher ratio and a comprehensive athletics program. NMMI provides numerous sports and athletic opportunities for the

Junior College students — with baseball, basketball, football, golf and tennis for men, and cross country, track and field, volleyball and tennis for women. High school sports consists of boys sport: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, track and field and tennis. Girls sports offer all of the previous sports, with the exceptions of baseball and football.

“The construction of our new

obstacle course continues. Our rappelling tower, across the street and over near Hastings, should be fully operational by September,” Hansen said.

Those who are interested in attending NMMI junior college need to have an ACT score of 18plus or a combined SAT score of 870 or a TOEFL score of 173plus. The successful candidate must also have a high school diploma with a minimum 2.0 GPA or pass the high school GED.

The high school candidate must have a 2.25 GPA on a 4.0 scale.

High school applicants are required to take a NMMI-administered standardized test. If the applicant is unable to come to the campus for the preliminaries, they may arrange a telephone interview and set up off-campus testing.

Tuition for the fall semester includes matriculation fees, room and board, uniforms and supplies, for all new cadets. Costs range from New Mexico residents $6,583 to $8,842.50 for non-residents and $8,997.50 international applicants fall semester.

Returning students pay slightly less $4,678 (resident), $6,937.50 (non-resident) and $7,092.50 (international). The fee schedule listed above does not include textbooks which will vary according to classes.

“Some people wonder why our tuition is so low, but we are a land-grant institution which helps keeps the costs down, but we offer $38,000 worth of education for around $1,000 per year,” Hansen said.

NMMI has a variety of merit- or need-based scholarships for junior college applicants. These federal or scholarship assistance programs range from $300 to $16,000. Assistance for high school students range from $150 to $7,000. “We have the New Mexico Legislative Scholarship, in honor of General Richard T. Knowles, where legislators nominate someone from their local district. The scholarship pays half their tuition. We also have Native American Scholarships for those who want to go into law enforcement. This is a full scholarship,” said Hansen. j.palmer@rdrnews.com

High schools slow to move to new grading system CAROLE FELDMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Those A’s, B’s, C’s and, yes, even F’s are still coming home on most high school report cards, despite moves to scrap the grading system in favor of one that gives parents more information about a student’s progress.

Numerous elementary schools around the country have moved to so-called standards-based grading and report cards. Many middle schools are onboard, as well. But high schools have been much slower to embrace the change.

“It’s a big leap for people,” said Denise Khaalid, assistant principal at South Pointe High School in Rock Hill, S.C. There’s widespread agreement among educators that the standards-based report cards are more informative than traditional ones, and proponents say they’re more accurate and fairer, too.

“As a parent, my child would come home with a C on a report card but what does it mean?” said Sally Jo Gilbert de Vargas, the house administrator at Whitman Middle School in Seattle. “Are they not getting their work done, are they not getting A’s on their tests?”

Standards-based grading breaks down the academic subjects into content areas and reports a child’s progress in mastering each of them, sometimes on a 1-to-4 scale or a proficiency scale. Work habits and behavior are usually graded separately.

The system allows for different ways to measure whether a student has met the standards, Gilbert de Vargas said.

“Everything doesn’t ride on one test score,” said Susan Olezene, director for student achievement, curriculum and professional learning for the Aurora Public Schools in Colorado. “There should be multiple opportunities for students to show what they know and are able to do in a variety of ways.”

So why the reluctance at the high school level?

At that point, grades count toward graduation or college admissions.

“One of the problems (with standards-based grading) is how do you convert that to the GPA?” asked Henry Duvall, spokesman for the Great City Schools, which represents large school districts around the country.

Robert Bardwell, director of guidance at Monson High School in Massachusetts, said parents need information about their children’s progress no matter what grade they’re in. Some high schools have moved away from the traditional grading, he said, and “students in those schools are going to college somewhere.”

For many high schools, though, there’s a reluctance to move to an unfamiliar, nontraditional system.

“Parents understand what a grade says,” said Deborah Hardy, director of school counseling services at Somers Central School District in New York. “They understand what the final average says. These are fields that colleges have accepted.”

Aurora Public Schools have found a way to do both — giving parents more detailed information about a student’s progress, while providing grades to colleges and universities in the traditional format of GPAs. Olezene said the school district involved parents from the start and phased in the new grading system, beginning with elementary schools in 2001, middle schools in 2009 and high schools just this past January. The district posted information about standards-based grading on its website, including a video and sample report cards.

“Our students were always being graded with standards in mind,” she said. “However, it’s very intentional when those are used for reporting.”

In the high school, the students’ standards-based grades are translated to the A-B-C-D system. “There is always a concern about fairness and our kids being graded as fairly as students in other districts,” Olezene said.

For example, an A would be given to a student who “consistently and independently demonstrates proficient and advanced understanding in course concepts and skills in a variety of assessments.” A student who “demonstrates proficiency in course concepts and skills with teacher and peer support” would receive a C. Other schools have tried sending home progress reports midway between marking periods that are more narrative in nature and detail progress, or lack of it.

Olezene said the trend needs to be toward standards-based reporting.

“I think we absolutely need to move forward in this way because it empowers students to be part of school. It should be relevant to them,” she said.

“There’s always room for that conversation with higher ed.”

However they’re reported, grades should be comprehensive and understandable, said James Martinez, spokesman for the National PTA. “Even with the traditional grading system, there is miscommunication,” he said.

Tax-free weekend is Aug. 3-5

The increased sales revenue during the threeday period will help local business and communities where they are located.”

NOAH VERNAU RECORD STAFF WRITER

Parents looking to save money this school year can take advantage of New Mexico’s annual tax-free weekend, which will run from Friday, Aug. 3, to Sunday, Aug. 5.

Tax exempt items include school supplies under $30, clothing and shoes under $100, calculators under $200, computers under $1,000 and computer equipment under $500. E-readers and tablets under $1,000 are also eligible for tax exemption, provided the device has computing capabilities.

Demesia Padilla, Cabinet secretary for the New Mexico State Taxation and Revenue Department, said parents should be advised that the sale begins at midnight Friday morning, and does

not end until the final minutes of Sunday evening — involving the full 72 hours of the three-day weekend.

“Some people might think it’s still Thursday night, but once it hits 12:01 (a.m.), it’s Friday morning!” Padilla said. “And if you’re having dinner at five o’clock on Sunday evening, and you realize that you forgot to take advantage of this — you still have seven hours!”

Gov. Susana Martinez stated in a press release that the tax-free weekend

is a win-win situation for families and businesses. “In these tough economic times, the tax-free holiday is a much needed relief for thousands of New Mexican families who can stock up on school supplies, clothes and books for their children. The increased sales revenue during the three-day period will help local business and communities where they are located.”

BACK TO SCHOOL

Roswell Daily Record

As students begin classes at Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell on Aug. 20 they will notice improvements being made all around them.

One of the most obvious is the Student Services building still being constructed right next door to the Campus Union building. The $4.8 million, 11,514-square-foot building is still on track to open mid-October and according to college development director Donna Oracion, it will modernize the way the school serves its students.

“It’s basically improving and modernizing what we do for first-time students,” said Oracion, “so everything will be functioning in one building, in a more convenient way. It will be more convenient for students, somewhat of a onestop shop for when they come on campus. It’ll basically be a new front door to the campus.”

The improvement doesn’t stop at a new building.

ENMU-R was awarded a grant by the U.S. Department of Education this past June and will receive $648,582 a year, for the next five years. ENMU-R is one of only two schools in New Mexico, and 19 across the nation, to receive such a grant. Oracion said the grant, which should go into effect in September, will

It will also allow the school to develop a data collection and analysis system so staff can better view results and see if goals are being met.

In addition to helping students enrolled at ENMU-R, Oracion said the school has money available

for those who wish to attend the college in the future.

“That’s something we really want to remind students,” she said. “I know everybody has issues paying for college. This is a good way to get started. We have the money until it runs out.”

One way ENMU-R is trying to help prospective students is by offering several scholarships with money provided by grants. Oracion said they were able to provide funding for the gradu-

ating class of 2011 and 2012 through the grant, and students who don’t take advantage of the opportunity will have to wait until funding comes around again 2017.

For those who graduated in 2012 from Dexter, Goddard, Hager man, Lake Arthur or Roswell high schools, there is the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs, or GEAR UP, scholarship. This scholarship can be used at any accredited college or uni-

versity, but those who chose to attend ENMU-R with the GEAR-UP scholarship will do so for free. The deadline to apply for this scholarship is Aug. 1.

ENMU-R is also offering the Presidential and Cougar scholarships. Students who graduated in the top 10th percentile of their class, with a minimum GPA of 3.5, qualify for the Presidential scholarship. This financial award covers up to $37, 804 of expenses, including tuition, fees, books, a meal plan and

other expenses. Recipients of the Presidential scholarship also receive a laptop computer, which they are allowed to keep even after completing the associate degree requirements.

Another amenity offered this year is dual enrollment. Students have the opportunity to earn college credits while in high school. Oracion said students should meet with their guidance counselors and decide what classes they would like to take and go ahead and get an early start on their college education. Students and others who are interested are also invited to the school’s Student Resource Fair on Sept.

5, from noon to 6 p.m. in the campus’ Per for ming Arts Center courtyard to learn more about the programs offered at ENMU-R. While classes begin on Aug. 20, registration will continue until Aug. 23.

All information and applications for scholarships and dual enrollment can be found on t h e s c h o o l ’ s w ebsite at www.enmufoeajo.com.

Oracion said with all of the assistance available, there is no better choice than ENMU-R. “We have money to help you,” she said. “We have classes for you, we’re more conveniently located and you get a great education too.”

Coaching your own kid brings pressures, rewards LISA A. FLAM FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Your son tosses the game-winning touchdown pass, so of course you want to pump your fists and cheer like a maniac. Or your daughter hogs the ball on the soccer field and you’re inclined to shout your disapproval and ask if she could PLEASE pass the ball already.

When you’re the coach, though, it’s all eyes on you. And if you’re sticking your kids in marquee positions, chances are someone in the stands is not happy.

It’s a tough line to walk for parents, who make up the majority of coaches working with the millions of kids playing youth sports every year. And as these volunteers navigate the challenges of coaching their own children, they’re under more pressure than ever from other parents clamoring for playing time, improved performance and those hard-fought wins.

“It’s a lot of work and it can be exhausting, especially when you have a parent that’s not happy,” says Liz Hocker, 41, who has coached her 10-year-old daughter’s softball team in Austin, Texas, for the past five years in a competitive league. “I do try not to play ‘Mommy’ ball,’” or showing favoritism.

“My philosophy is that my daughter needs to work hard and show that she should be out there playing the position I put her in,” she said. “I try very hard to treat her like every other player, as much as I can.”

Parents who sign up to coach appreciate the experience because it’s (usually) fun and creates dedicated time with their kids.

Often, they’re also trying to ensure that their kids learn proper techniques and good sportsmanship.

Ideally, they’ll do it all while treating their

child like every other player. After all, favoritism can cut both ways: For all the grousing about the coach’s kid getting this or that, coaches are more inclined to treat their own kids more harshly or demand more from them on the field than the other way around, experts say.

“It’s just natural they would be tougher on them,” said John Engh, chief operating officer of the nonprofit National Alliance for

Ministry helps with uniforms for local students NOAH VERNAU RECORD STAFF WRITER

With tight budgets affecting families everywhere, Jireh Ministry will be opening Tuesday, Aug. 14, to help area students gear up for school.

Throughout the school year, the ministry will be open Tuesdays from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and will provide school clothes, uniforms and supplies to students, as well as items for people of all ages, including shoes, adult clothing, blankets, toothpaste and laundry soap.

Jireh Ministry, affiliated with the First Baptist Church of Roswell, is located in the David E. Moore building next to the church, 500 N. Pennsylvania Ave. Aubrey Waldron, First Baptist Church secretary, said there are no qualifications for families who visit Jireh Ministry, and that visitors will only need to provide their name, address and the number of people in their household.

People are allowed to visit Jireh Ministry for items twice a month, choosing two changes of clothes for each household member. Those who require school uniforms can receive one new uniform and two used uniforms each semester.

“It’s a ministry that we’re very blessed to have in the church, because last year alone we serviced over 200 families just coming through and needing different items for their children, whether it was school supplies or a uniform that they couldn't afford to have,” Waldron said. “So it’s a big blessing for us, as well as our community to have it. “... It enables the people who can’t afford new items, who don’t have the luxury of going to Walmart to buy school supplies, to get something new for the school year.

Every kid looks forward to the first day of school whenever they get their new clothes, and they have all their new stuff. So it enables (kids) to still have that feeling — to still feel like they fit in with everyone else who can afford that.

They aren’t singled out as not being able to.”

Items for donation can be dropped off at First Baptist Church’s office Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Youth Sports, because a father is used to talking to his own child more directly and is likely to use his son as an example for the rest of the team.

“When you talk about physical contact, screaming on the field, they’re doing it on their own kids,” said Engh, who has coached his two children in soccer and baseball. “They feel like they have that right.

Rarely will you see a dad grab another kid

by the shoulder or the arm in frustration or raise their voice on the field.”

Most parent-coaches do a good job being fair with positions and playing time, says Frank Smoll, a sport psychology professor at the University of Washington and co-author of “Sport Psychology for Youth Coaches,” a how-to guide due out in September. When favoritism is shown, it “can cause nothing but problems for the athletes, for the coach and with the other athletes as well,” he said.

To avoid even the appearance of unfairness, Hocker has benched her daughter in the first inning of the first game. Rick Kay, who has coached his two sons and a daughter, ages 19, 17 and 10, in baseball, soccer and basketball, also sat his kids out more.

“I went out of my way to play my kids less than I felt they deserved to play because I didn’t want that to be an issue,” said Kay, 47, of Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. The other kids “see that he’s out and hopefully understand that everyone has to sit out at some point.”

Like other parents, Dan Armstrong, who has coached three of his four sons in baseball and football, is committed to helping them improve, and says he’s pushed them a little more than the other kids.

“Instead of being biased for your own son, I think you’re kind of biased against him and expect him to work a little harder than maybe the rest of the team,” says Armstrong, 42, of Frederick, Md. Having a parent become a coach can be confusing for kids, and parents should make sure the separation of those roles is clear, says Smoll, also the co-director of an education program for youth sport coaches and parents. Before the season begins, set ground rules with your child, he says, and meet with the other parents to explain your philosophy and expectations.

Children from families whose income level is at or below the levels shown are eligible for free or reduced price meals. Applications may be filled out on-line at http://www.risd.k12.nm.us and/or Application forms are being sent to all homes, along with a letter to households. To apply for free or reduced price meals, households should fill out one application for the household and return it to the school. Additional copies are available at the principal's office in each school. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. The information provided by the household is confidential; it will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility. Information may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials.

For the school officials to determine eligibility, each household that is now receiving SNAP benefits (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly the Food Stamp program) or that is on the Family Independence Temporary Assistance Program (FITAP) must provide its SNAP case number or FITAP number as well as the signature of an adult household member. All other households must provide the following information on the application: names of all household members; the social security number of either the parent/guardian who is the primary wage earner, or the adult household member who signs the application, or a statement that the household member does not possess one; the amount of income (before deductions for taxes, Social Security, etc.) each household member receives; how often the person receives the income; where it is from, such as wages, retirement, or welfare; and the signature of an adult household member certifying that the information provided is correct. If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size increases, the household should contact the school. Such changes may make the children of the household eligible for meal benefits.

Foster children who are the legal responsibility of a welfare agency or court may be eligible for benefits. If a household has foster children and wishes to apply for such meals for them, the household should contact the school for more information.

Directly Certified Households Households that receive SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly the Food Stamp program) or FITAP benefits may be directly certified to receive free meals. These households are not required to complete an application, and will be notified by school officials of their eligibility. SNAP and FITAP households should complete an application if they are not notified of their eligibility by August 13, 2012.

School officials determine whether households are directly certified to receive free meals based on documentation obtained directly from the SNAP/FITAP office, which will certify that a child is a member of a household currently receiving SNAP benefits or an assistance unit receiving FITAP benefits. Households who are notified of their eligibility but do not want their children to receive free meals must contact the school.

Under the provisions of the free and reduced price policy, Renee Nava will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he may wish to discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis. If the parent wishes to make a formal appeal, he may make either an oral or written response to the following: Lyman Graham, FSD at PO Box 1437, Roswell NM 88202 or 575-637-3336 THE POLICY CONTAINS AN OUTLINE OF THE HEARING PROCEDURES.

Be Smart: Stay School-Bus Safe

How to Prevent School Bus Injuries

Roswell Daily Record

Every morning, more than 25 million children across the country board a school bus and head to school. Although no parent wants to think about their child becoming hurt on the trip, injuries can, and do, occur.

School buses tend to be a safe mode of transportation. In recent years, seat belts have become mandatory for many bus lines, making the ride even safer. The most common injuries for riders are strains and sprains, contusions and abrasions, and lacerations. Most of the injuries occur from boisterous riders, and not accidents with other vehicles or bus driver error.

The age group most susceptible to injuries is the 11 to 14 age group, while injuries among boys and girls tend to be about even. Lower extremity injuries top the list among this age group. The next largest injured group is ages 5 to 9.

Because school bus injuries may be treated by a school nurse or not brought to the attention of the public, it's possible school bus injuries are underreported and may be higher than statistics suggest.

Proponents of better school bus safety advise that certain changes should be mandatory to safeguard riders. These include: * Banning of flammable urethane material, already barred from use in boats, cars and planes, used in school

School buses are a safe means of travel when riders and adults work together.

bus seating. * Better communication between the bus driver and the outside world so that emergency situations can be better addressed. * Greater widespread use of seatbelts on school buses. * The addition of another adult on the school bus, as school bus drivers might have difficulty safely driving while disciplining riders simultaneously. * Better body design of school buses to prevent rollover frequency. * Tires that offer better traction in all types of weather.

School bus safety is not only the responsibility of the school, bus company or driver. It is also largely the responsibility of the riders and the parents of these students. Reiterating proper bus riding protocol is essential to keeping riders safe.

Safety procedures that

Adam Roe

should be followed include. * Promptly enter the bus, getting seated and fastening the seat belt. * Keep feet or backpacks out of the aisles to avoid tripping hazards. * Keep voices low to hear the driver. * Know the location of safety exits. * Remain seated for the duration of the trip to school. * Keep head and limbs inside the bus at all times. * Wait until the bus is at a complete stop before exiting standing up from your seat to exit. * Be courteous by not pushing or shoving other riders. * Always exit the bus and promptly get on the sidewalk or a safe walking path. * Cross the street, if necessary, in front of the bus and several feet ahead so the driver can see clearly.

School buses are essential modes of transportation, taking thousands of students to and from school every day.

While school bus accidents are rare, riders should still practice safety aboard and around the bus.

In the early days of education, students were educated in local schools within walking distance.

If they needed to travel, it was by horse-drawn wagon. As the nation's roadways began to evolve, so did the methods of getting children to school.

Eventually school buses became the norm.

In an effort to prevent injuries, representatives from 48 states met in 1939 to establish safety standards for school buses. Since then, several meetings, known as the National Conferences on School T ransportation, have taken place to modify safety procedures and standards.

In addition to safety procedures regarding ridership, school buses are built with certain standards in mind. Mirrors, lights, braking systems and the like are regulated to provide the utmost safety to passengers.

While catastrophic accidents involving school buses are very rare, buses are built to handle much more than the occasional run-ins with passenger cars and light trucks.

Here are the safety precautions that should be followed. * Walk to the bus stop, don't run. * Always use caution when crossing roadways. * Walk on the sidewalk whenever possible. If no sidewalk is present, walk in the opposite direction of traffic to be aware of on-coming traffic. * Don't fool around at the bus stop. Accidents can happen when individuals are unaware of their surroundings or distracted. * Stand at the bus stop in a safe location. Do not enter the street. * Arrive at the bus stop early so there is no need to rush and be distracted. * Wait for the school bus to come to a complete stop and for other traf fic to halt before approaching the bus.

Dexter Consolidated Schools adopts Common Core State Standards NOAH VERNAU RECORD STAFF WRITER

Dexter Consolidated Schools will utilize new framework for its curricula this school year to help prepare students for college and the workforce, adopting the Common Core State Standards initiative. New Mexico is one of 45 states to adopt the new set of academic standar ds, which focuses a school’s approach in all areas of study.

Pat Parsons, superintendent of Dexter Consolidated Schools, said teachers and administrators this summer attended training ahead of the district’s move to CCSS. “We had been teaching standards that were very wide — there were very many of them, and they weren’t very deep,” Parsons said. “Now we’ll be going into fewer things in a much more in-depth manner. “... It’s something we’ve been working on for a couple years, so it’s not a new thing for our staf f. We’ve been working on what we call cross-functional teams, and we have them in each of the core areas: language arts, math, science and social studies. We give the teachers time each month to work together, so that they can really do a good job in moving to the Common Core.

“We think it will be a positive thing, and it just allows us to do an even better job with our kids.”

Parsons said the move for Dexter is made stronger through the Pecos Valley Education

Alliance, a staf f development partnership that includes Dexter, Hager man, Lake Arthur, Loving and Carlsbad schools.

Dexter schools will also take advantage of a new Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness

for Undergraduate Programs grant via Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell, Parsons said. GEAR-UP, funded through the U.S. Department of Education, helps at-risk students prepare for college.

The program will target two entire grades of Dexter Middle School students, and will follow them throughout their completion of high school.

“We just finished a GEAR-UP g r a n t l a st ye a r t h a t w e h a d through ENMU-R, and this just makes available so many opport u n i t ies t h a t u su al l y a r e n ’ t t h e r e f o r o u r k id s ,” P a r so n s said. “They were able to go to colleges and visit, they were able to have extra counseling — j u st a bo ve a n d b e yo n d w h a t they normally have. GEAR-UP (provides) incentives to do well in school, and to work with families, and for those kids to have a mind that they’re going to go on to college and have a chance to be successful. So we were ve r y ex c it ed wh e n E N M U - R received another grant, and now this group of students will be able to go through high school with that kind of support.”

Other changes for the 20122013 school year include a new scoreboard for the football field and seating renovation in the auditorium.

Lake Arthur Municipal Schools to use new teaching method NOAH VERNAU RECORD STAFF WRITER

Lake Arthur Municipal Schools is welcoming the Common Core State Standards initiative with open arms, and will implement the new academic standards for all grades in the 2012-2013 school year.

As New Mexico becomes one of 45 states to adopt CCSS, newly-appointed K-12 Principal Terry L. Pierce says the move will create significant changes in planning, curriculum and daily instruction.

“I think it’s a move in the right direction,” Pierce said. “... It’s more than just knowledge recall, remembering and showing that you understand. Now it’s more about creating — generating new thought patterns, evaluating, synthesizing and using higher order thinking skills to demonstrate proficiency.

“That’s what we’re going to have to have to be competitive with China and the rest of the world.”

Pierce, who previously worked as the school’s instructional coach and curriculum director, said a big difference in the move to CCSS from the previous model will be in assessment, which will now focus on the critical thinking skills of students.

“They’re not going to be asking you what year Abraham Lincoln was born, they’re going to be asking things like, ‘Had the Civil War result been different, and the South won and the North lost, what would be the effects on the United States for the next 40 years?’

“So it’s causing them to think critically; they have to certainly know the battles, they have to know the details of what’s happened, but they have to demonstrate they can use it.”

Pierce said he believes the move to CCSS

signifies a turn toward the science of education, with instruction based on data and research.

“We used to say education isn’t rocket science, but it absolutely is rocket science now,” he said. “We have so many tools at our disposal to determine exactly where a student is in their learning process, and what instructional gap we have to fill in to scaffold them to the next level of instruc-

With only five states that have yet to implement the new academic standards, Pierce says New Mexico’s move to CCSS

Hagerman schools expand use of technology NOAH VERNAU RECORD STAFF WRITER

Expanded technology and new opportunities in curricula highlight the upcoming school year for the Hagerman Municipal School District.

Hagerman schools completed its third phase of Promethean Board installations this summer, and will now have the interactive technology in every classroom for grades two through 12.

Steven Starkey, Hagerman schools superintendent, said the district began installing the boards in the summer of 2010, purchasing about a dozen prior to each school year. The idea is to involve students in their lessons using what the school calls “active modes,” he said.

“They can vote on something, they can pick a certain question, an answer,” Starkey said. “It engages them so that they participate, and not just sit back and be lectured to.”

Additionally, Aegom Interactive software for the Promethean Boards has been purchased to help engage students K-8 in the

“They’re real colorful, lots of graphs,” Starkey said.

“We even have some programs that the teachers developed themselves to use on the Promethean Board.”

Starkey said the technology is very similar to the

keypad on a smart phone.

“Even before we started buying the Promethean Boards, we had kids using their smart phones to participate in class. So we know kids are going to have the phones, but we want to make sure they use them educationally.”

In partnership with Eastern New Mexico UniversityRoswell’s GEAR-UP program, the district has also purchased 60 iPads, with 30 iPads shared between math and science and the other 30 shared by language arts and social studies. GEAR-UP has also

ROSWELL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT ASBESTOS REINSPECTION SURVEY ANNUAL NOTIFICATION TO PARENTS

According to requirements of the EPA Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA 1987), the Board of Education completes mandatory re-inspections on a three year cycle. In addition, surveys are conducted every six months of all buildings within the District. In the past, asbestos was widely used in building construction.

Accredited environmental inspectors visit the school your son/daughter attends to re-inspect the condition of Asbestos-Containing Building Material (ACBM) or materials assumed to contain asbestos and complete a re-inspection survey. The asbestos management plan for your school is filed in the main office of the school and is accessible to parents and staff. You may review the current plan at the school at any time.

Since AHERA was enacted, RISD has implemented an Operations and Maintenance Program to train maintenance personnel with proper handling and safe procedures for asbestos containing materials. As EPA has suggested, it is RISD policy to remove asbestos only when a damaged condition dictates, or maintenance remodeling or demolition is involved. In these instances, precautions are taken to ensure the safety of our staff and students.

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Sean Benedict at 627-2742.

allowed Hagerman schools to hire a full-time middle school counselor who will work with the students both academically and behaviorally.

Hagerman schools has also entered a partnership with the Pecos Valley Education Alliance, Align

Assess Achieve and the Leadership and Learning Center for training and implementation of the Common Core State Standards, an initiative which aims to provide a clearer framework for curricula.

Starkey said CCSS provides exciting opportunities for the district. “It’s going to be identifying what exactly a student needs to know. You’re going to go indepth, and make sure that they know that before they move on to the (next) grade, because you’re going to build on it.”

With 45 states involved in the adoption of CCSS, the Hagerman Municipal School District can now compare apples to apples, Starkey said. “We can look at our demographics, then look at another school with similar demographics — say, maybe in Missouri or Nevada. If they’re doing something really well, we can go and make contact with them. ... So from a superintendent’s point of view, I’m really excited about the assessment part of that.”

Classes for Hager man schools begin Aug. 15. nvernau@rdrnews.com

ESTUDIO DE REINSPECCIÓN DE ASBESTOS – NOTIFICACIÓN ANUAL PARA PADRES DE ESTUDIANTES

De acuerdo con los requisitos delineados por el Acuerdo Legislativo que Regula los Servicios de Urgencia de Contaminación de Asbesto de la Agencia Protectora del Medio Ambiente (AHERA 1987), la Junta de Educación hace reinspecciones obligatorias en ciclos de tres años. Además, se efectúan estudios de todos los edificios del distrito escolar cada seis meses. En años anteriores, materiales que contenían asbesto fueron usados extensivamente en la construcción de edificios.

Inspectores medioambientales autorizados visitan la escuela a la que asisten sus niños para reinspeccionar las condiciones del material que contiene o que podría contener asbesto y efectúan un estudio de reinspección. El plan vigente de control de asbesto de su escuela está archivado en la oficina de la escuela y es accesible a los padres de familia y el personal docente y administrativo. Pueden ustedes revisar el plan en la escuela en cualquier momento.

Desde que el acuerdo AHERA fue promulgado, RISD (Escuelas Públicas de Roswell) ha puesto en efecto un Programa de Operaciones y Mantenimiento para capacitar al personal de mantenimiento en procedimientos de seguridad y manejo apropiado de materiales que contienen asbesto. Como lo ha sugerido la EPA (Agencia Protectora del Medio Ambiente), la responsabilidad de APS es eliminar el asbesto solamente cuando la naturaleza del daño lo amerite, o cuando el proceso de mantenimiento requiera remodelación o demolición; en dichos casos, se toman precauciones para resguardar la seguridad del personal docente y administrativo y de los estudiantes.

Si tienen ustedes alguna pregunta con respecto al estudio de reinspección, por favor comuníquense con Sean Benedict al 627-2742.

Roswell Daily Record

Roswell public high schools prepare for school year CHAUNTE’L POWELL RECORD STAFF WRITER For public high schools in Roswell, the 2012-2013 school will be about new adjustments.

When doors open for Goddard High School on Aug. 13, they will be under the leadership of Brian Luck. Luck is in his 16th year within the Roswell Independent School District and has spent all but six months of those years at Goddard High.

He was an interim principal at Berrendo Middle School last year and during the last week of school was told he would be the principal at Goddard High the following school year. Luck is excited to be back at his former school.

“I was excited to get back up here,” he said. “It’s a great group of people to work with.”

On the academic side, the school’s science labs are ready for business. Luck said they’ve opened up a few classrooms and a lab AND described it as “a beautiful facility.” The school’s sports complex is also in use and he said he hopes they’ll be able to participate in soccer competitions soon. Luck is looking forward to guiding the students this school year and wants parents to be just as involved.

“Everybody’s getting ready. We’re getting the building spruced up and we’re excited to get the kids back,” he said. “It makes it all kind of worthwhile. I’m looking forward to another year. I encourage the parents to get involved with their child’s education, because now more than ever it just becomes that much more important that they stay on top of it.”

At Roswell High School, one of the things principal Rueben Bolaños wanted to focus on was the adjustment of the freshman at the school through a series of extracurricular activities. He said he was pleased with the results of those programs and said this year’s focus shifts to the implementation of the Common Core Standards. The new standards emphasize helping students gain a deep understanding of the most important concepts in various subjects they are studying. In January, New Mexico became one of 45 states to adopt the Common Core Standards.

Bolaños said these new standards fall in line with the school’s mission to give its students every opportunity possible to succeed.

“The goal is always to give the students the best education possible,” he said.

“And our staff has been working diligently to be able to identify and detail all of those common core standards. So that taskforce will be able to bring along the rest of the staff.”

University High School named Laura Herrera principal last school year and she said she felt she made great strides last year, and would like to take the school to greater heights this year. Herrera feels that accommodation in terms of scheduling is one of University High’s strongest attributes.

“The uniqueness of UHS is characterized by its flexible scheduling, low student-teacher ratios and its programs and services provided to students,” she said.

“With flexible scheduling, UHS is able to enroll students in ENMU-R classes to obtain skills for employment or to begin their college career while in high school.

It’s an option for teen parents to complete their education and have day care provided.”

UHS will host what Herrera calls a “come-n-go” open house for the community to visit on Aug. 1 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. She welcomes anyone interested in learning more about UHS.

Goddard High welcomes Brian Luck back to the campus as principal.

Christian schools improve resources for new school year CHAUNTE’L POWELL RECORD STAFF WRITER This upcoming school year holds new and exciting opportunities for students and faculty at Gateway Christian School and Valley Christian Academy.

At VCA, Cory Codgill will serve his first year as principal. Though new to his position at VCA, Codgill is a veteran in Christian education. He began as a math and science teacher at Gateway Christian School 12 years ago. After two years at Gateway, he moved to Manila, Philippines, to work at Faith Academy. He took a brief hiatus from teaching and worked a short stint as a process engineer in Boise, Idaho. He felt compelled to teach a ga in i n 20 06 a n d m o ve d b ac k t o Roswell and was hired as a math and science teacher at VCA. Codgill held several other positions at the school before being named the school’s new principal.

He said he has high expectations for the entire school.

“I would like to see a renewed level of academic excellence across the board from pre-K to 12th grade,” he said. “My long-term goals are to have each classroom performing at the 70th percentile or better in every subject on standardized tests.”

Outside the classroom, Codgill said he w a n ts t o e n co u r ag e s t u de n t s t o b e agents of change in the community “We will be having what I call ‘ministry t r a i n i ng ’ o n F r i d ay m o r n i ng s a t th e Fourth Street campus,” he said. “I will be leading the discussion and showing videos from a curriculum entitled ‘A Hole in our Gospel.’ We hope to engage the students in topics that bring awareness to global injustices around the world. We will be challenging them to take some k i nd o f a ct i o n i n r e s po n s e t o t h e se issues.”

VCA will also welcome a new teacher to one of its campuses. Local artist and instructor at Childr en’s Art Classes Tammy Alvarez will be teaching at the sc h oo l ’s ca mp u s l oc at e d o n Fo u r th Street. Codgill said Alvarez worked with younger children at the Berrendo campus last year and the children and parents were amazed by her instruction.

Classes begin on Aug. 11 for pre-K and kindergarten students and Aug. 16 for everyone else. For pre-K and kindergarten students attending Valley Chris-

With an increase in enrollment, and a football state title under its belt, Gateway Christian Academy is ready for an exciting new year.

Valley Christian will start the year off with new additions to the staff. tian Academy, tuition is $3,500 a year, $350 a month for 10 months. Tuition for students in grades 1-12 is $4,200 a year or $420 a month for 10 months. VCA offers discounts for parents with multiple students enrolled based on their

income.

At Gateway Christian School, home of the NMAA 8-Man state champion football team, it’s been a busy summer to say the least. School administrator Ricky Rapp said he and his staff are excited and pre-

pared for another prosperous school year. “ We’ r e ve r y ex c i t ed a b o u t t he n ew school year. Our enrollment is up, we’re at around 275 students right now and we’ve had several upgrades in our facilities. We’re really looking forward to a great school year.”

One of those upgrades is the installation of Promethean Smart Boards in several classrooms. Rapp said three elementary and one high school classrooms received the Smart Boards this year and their goal is to eventually have one in every classroom at each one of their campuses. Gateway is also r eady to break ground on its new science lab this fall. Rapp said if everything goes as p la n n e d , it sh o u ld ta k e ab o u t fo u r months to complete and be ready to go early next winter. As far as athletics go, the Warriors are still riding the wave of excitement from their state title and Rapp said it was one of the unexpected shining moments of last school year.

“That’s always an exciting thing,” he said. “Especially with all the unknowns going into last season. We weren’t sure how good we’d be or how many kids we’d have. We improved each week, and the excitement kept building and when we won, it was certainly one of the highlights of the year.”

They are also improving the school’s athletic teams’ facilities. Updates are being made to the school’s locker rooms and gymnasium. Construction on a new track around the football field began last spring and should be ready for usage by the time students arrive for the first day of school. Rapp said it will be used for practice by the track team, but they will not host any track meets.

Doors open on Aug. 14 for all students. Tuition for students enrolled in grades pre-K and kindergarten is $3,600 a y ea r, g r a d es 1- 6 i s $4 , 4 0 0, 7 - 8 i s $4,700 and grades 9-12 come up to a total of $4,800. Tithe paying members of Gateway Church can receive a discount of $100 off per child while households with three children are eligible to receive 10 percent off total tuition, four kids earns 15 percent off. Those who wish to pay the entire amount of their child’s t u i ti o n a t t h e b eg in n in g o f t h e y ea r receive 3 percent off.
