regarding your child’s achievement of grade-bygrade benchmarks.

It’s all about college and career readiness.

The Common Core State Standards were created to ensure all students graduating from high school are capable of succeeding in college-level classes and in their careers.

That overarching purpose is reflected in the details of your child’s report card by showing what a student is expected to know and your child’s progress toward those targets. Keep that in mind as you read through your child’s report card.

As always, contact your child’s teacher with specific questions.

“The great thing about Common Core and the way teachers will now be assessing students is that there is a big-picture goal in mind,” says Huntington.

“This creates a perfect opportunity to notice your child’s strengths and progress, while keeping an eye on areas to work on.”

of Common Core is the greater emphasis on critical thinking skills.

Those changes will very likely be reflected in the report card, which will not only assess a student’s detailed content knowledge, but also his or her demonstrated understanding of higherlevel concepts and more.

Pay attention to these marks, as they are a significant measure of students’ performance moving forward with the new standards.

Progress toward mastery of grade-level standards is the new norm. While every school district may be different, parents across the nation can expect report cards—particularly in the elementary grades— to measure students’ growth over the course of the school year, not just the term for which they are evaluated. As such, it is important that you understand the different progress indicators and what any numeric codes used actually mean

273243N0205

mind the following: Understanding the report card format is critical. If your child’s teacher did not provide an explanation of the report card format that is being used, be sure to request one so you are clear on how your child is being evaluated. The newly enhanced report card structures that many schools are now using are not only aligned with state standards (Common Core), they also are supposed to provide parents a more meaningful assessment of their children’s progress.

Effort and comprehension are areas of focus. One major change with the introduction

274219N0205

When your child brings home his or her mid-year report card, it is important to read it carefully and take note of a number of key areas. And with the Common Core State Standards going into effect this school year, Eileen Huntington of Huntington Learning Center reminds parents that report cards may look different this year than in years past. “The report card format may change from last year, as states roll out report cards that are aligned to the Common Core State Standards,” says Huntington. As you evaluate your child’s report card this month, keep in

To all you high school students out there: we did it! The school year is officially half over.

Midterms are done, and the third quarter has begun. As we are in the home stretch, it is crucial for students of every grade level to start - or finish - looking at colleges.

Freshmen, although still young, should focus on maintaining a solid grade-point-average.

Sophomores should be preparing to take the SAT or ACT. Juniors need to be primarily concerned with creating a list of schools that they wish to apply to.

Seniors, like myself, are now waiting to hear back from different colleges.

Although underclassmen may feel like they have all the time in the world, it is crucial to get an early start. Trust me, that time goes quickly. In addition to keeping up one’s grades, it is also important to set up interviews. For many borderline students, these interviews give them the opportunity to convey their passions more effectively.

A student gets to speak directly with an alumnus of the specific institution.

An interview is a valuable asset in making your interest known.

For instance, just a few weeks ago, I had an interview with Dr. Vitagliano, the proprietor of Smile With Style

Orthodontics in West Islip.

As a graduate of Duke University, Dr. Vitagliano is still heavily involved in the happenings both on campus and in the admissions office. During my interview, I made it known that Duke University was one of my first choice institutions. Hopefully, Dr. Vitagliano saw my interest and conveys it to the admissions board.

This process can be influential in affording a student access to a specific institution of higher learning, but grades bear much more weight! Make sure to keep your grades up, take standardized tests, apply to college and schedule an interview!

Common Core Presentation

Dr. Donald Murphy, director of Mathematics and Information Systems, Hauppauge School District, and Marc Licht, director of Technology, Mineola UFSD, presented the initial YouTube library of the Common Core Video Help Initiative Project (ccvidhelp) to more than 40 teachers and administrators representing 20 Long Island school districts on January 23rd in the Hauppauge School District Board of Education Room. ccvidhelp is a grass roots initiative created to provide students and parents with the support they need for Common Core mathematics in grades K through 9. ccvidhelp started organically through conversations between Dr. Murphy and Mr. Licht

who recognized the desperate need among parents for Common Core math module resources (support) to help their children at home with the new math curriculum.

While Hauppauge and many other Long Island school districts have held Parent Information Nights, Dr. Murphy and Mr. Licht decided to collaborate and invite other Long Island school districts to join in and to build a library of support videos that would be: • Aligned to the NYS common core math curriculum, and specifically, the modules available at engageny.org • Publically available to all students, parents, etc.

• Easily searched on iPads, PCs, phones, etc.

• Linked to other

“Attendees were very enthusiastic, and some signed up right away to join us in our efforts.

said James O’Connor, Director of Sustainability & Transportation Operations.

“We must do everything we can to improve our transit infrastructure and provide options for our residents to travel throughout Suffolk County,” said County Executive Steve Bellone.

“How do you go red?” asks the American Heart Association. On Friday, February 7th, 2014, people from across Long Island, as well as corporations, businesses, hospitals, towns, schools, local and state legislators, members of the media, teachers, and people from all walks of life will be wearing red to focus attention on - and raise funds to fight - the No. 1 killer of women – cardiovascular disease.

On February 7th, the American Heart Association’s 11th Annual

National Wear Red Day asks women to show their support for the fight against heart disease in women by wearing red. It’s an easy, powerful way to speak up and show support for Go Red For Women®, the American Heart Association’s solution to save women’s lives.

The Go Red For Women movement, sponsored nationally by Macys urges women to take charge of their cardiovascular health, make it a top priority and live a stronger, longer life. The North

Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System is the Cities Go Red Sponsor for the movement.

Every minute in the United States, someone’s wife, mother, daughter or sister dies from heart disease, stroke or other form of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women age 25 and older and stroke is the No. 4 killer of women, as women account for 61 percent of all stroke deaths annually. The American Heart Association Go Red

For Women movement is about turning around these statistics. It’s also about resources, information and hope.

Donations to Go Red For Women help support our efforts to educate women and to fund breakthrough research by the American Heart Association that helps ensure women are represented in clinical studies.

For more than 10 years, women have been fighting heart disease individually and together as part of the Go Red For Women

11

National Wear Red Day movement. More than 650,000 women’s lives have been saved, but the fight is far from over.

On February 7th, or on a different day if you wish, you and your colleagues are encouraged to wear red (and dress down if your company allows) and each donate $5 or more.

As a thank you for their support, each participant will receive a Go Red For Women® red dress pin or sticker to wear, along with information about how to make healthy choices every day. As a Wear Red

Day Coordinator, you’ll receive a Coordinator’s Tool Kit with all the materials needed to conduct a successful Wear Red Day event – including a Coordinator’s Guide, educational materials, posters, and ideas to make your event successful and fun.

For more information about National Wear Red Day and to sign up your company or organization, call Jessica DiMeo at 516.450.9111 or e-mail Jessica.dimeo@heart.org.

Advisory Panel Appointee Suffolk County Legislator Bill Lindsay III recently appointed Sayville Chamber Past-President and Director Kay Cameron to the Suffolk County Downtown Revitalization Citizen’s Advisory Panel, making this the first appointment of Lindsay’s legislative career. Kay has served on this panel under the late Presiding Officer William J. Lindsay since 2006.

“Kay is a remarkable person who has fought to protect our most vital downtowns for the past eight years while also continuing the success of her own business in downtown Sayville,” said Legislator Lindsay III. “Kay’s economic insight and her passion to preserve and reenergize the culture of our Suffolk County communities have made her an ideal candidate for

this post.”

Kay began her career in public service as a Registered Nurse, working in numerous hospitals until 1985. In 1982, she established her then parttime jewelry business with only five staffers. As her business, Kay Cameron Fine Jewelry, began to flourish, Kay solidified her roots by renting out 48 Main Street in the beautiful downtown of Sayville in 1987. Her family-operated business has flourished in the same downtown location for more than 25 years due to Kay’s keen business sense and extensive skill in jewelry retail and repair.

Kay and her colleagues on the Suffolk County Downtown Revitalization Citizen’s Advisory Panel have made significant progress in the preservation and expansion

of downtowns throughout Suffolk County. The panel has played an integral part in economic development by recommending the creation of a grant program that has helped towns, villages and community organizations expand on their efforts to enhance their downtowns, attract visitors and shoppers into the area, and thereby stimulate economic activity in these important centers.

“Our downtowns are vital for sustainable economic growth and development in Suffolk County,” said Legislator Lindsay III. “Kay’s consistent commitment and advocacy towards revitalization will leave a mark on Long Island’s downtowns that will transcend generations and I thank her for her commitment to serve the residents of our county.”

The Eve Of Excitement?

By: Jamie Lynn Ryan All the hype, all the anticipation, all leading to this year’s, ahem, “Big Game”… and for what?

Neither New York football team is participating, few locals seem the least bit interested in paying the exorbitant ticket prices to attend and, irony of ironies, barring a lastminute change in the weather forecast, the potential for a nor’easter over the weekend has been downgraded to, um, 46º and partly cloudy.

Personally, I have never been to a professional football game. I’d like to,

don’t get me wrong, but the idea of tailgating in the freezing cold – eh, not so appealing. Add to that the fact that my only NFL rooting interest lies in New England (yes, I know, blasphemy), and I have never actively pursued acquiring tickets to a game to this point.

Of course, a few weeks back, when the Patriots still stood a chance of making it to the end, the thought briefly crossed my mind. Wouldn’t that be an incredible first football experience? Ah, but it was not to be.

Instead, I, like millions of others, will be watching

the game from the comfort of my own home, on the couch, surrounded by snacks. I rarely have much of a rooting interest, but the broadcast is usually good for a few classic commercials and a fairly entertaining Halftime performance.

We, as a collective society, will watch, discuss the highlights for a few days and then promptly forget who won, who even played, until next year when the football season revs up once again.

And so it goes. On to more important things – like how many days ‘til pitchers and catchers report?

HONORING THE CHAMPS - The Sachem Sports Clubs Annual Awards Banquet was recently held this past weekend at Villa Lombardi’s in Holbrook. The Sachem Sports Club is comprised of over 600 young athletes in the community. With nearly 1,000 people in attendance at the Awards Dinner, Legislator Tom Muratore presented Certificates of Recognition to the 2013 Suffolk County Police Athletic League Football Champions in the 10 year-old and 13 year-old Divisions.

From learning traditional phrases to interesting facts about the country’s geography, Academy Elementary School third-grade students were immersed in studying China during a Go China workshop presented by Patricia Shih.

During the workshop, the students learned

aspects of the country’s history, language, music, art, geography and culture.

The students learned how to speak 99 Chinese words, the significance of the Chinese New Year and which colors and animals were symbolic of the emperor and empress.

Additionally, the students had the chance to

Lessons From China view Ms. Shih’s extensive collection of artifacts, including puppets from a Chinese opera, instruments and clothing.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, the program concluded with several students leading their classmates in music, while others performed a traditional dragon dance.

ENCOURAGED TO WRITE - Connetquot Central School District’s (CCSD) Edward J. Bosti Elementary School fifth grade C-Quest students were recently visited by popular local author and CCSD Connetquot High School alumni Patrice Domozych.

The author of the children’s book Hope Is Here To Stay answered questions from the students and discussed with them the importance of writing. The event was organized by faculty members to introduce C-Quest students to an advanced curriculum in writing.

Along with giving them tips for becoming better writers, Domozych encouraged the C-Quest students to write more about their own lives in order to develop their unique “voices” and styles.

and marketed the event throughout the school building.

This event is held at the school each January and proceeds are donated to the local charity to assist Long Island families.

Future Careers

As part of Woodhull Elementary School’s continuing College and Career Readiness Program, students had the chance to learn about various areas of the entertainment industry during a videoconference with cartoonist and animator Tom Warburton.

Mr. Warburton is best known for creating the animated television series

Codename: Kids Next Door, but has served as production designer and lead character designer for two animated television series. He is also the author of the book series, A Thousand Times No. During the conference, the students viewed several short film clips, narrated by Mr. Warburton, describing his career path. In addition,

they learned how to create one of his more famous cartoon characters with step-by-step instructions.

Mr. Warburton advised the students to draw and to keep their drawings in a notebook that they could then refer back to at a later date. He also emphasized the importance of doing something you love.

Edward J. Bosti Elementary School 5th graders recently completed the school’s annual Cirque du Jour Project to the delight of family and friends. Afterwards these students took the time to write letters of thanks to those thoughtful professionals that made the circus experience so enjoyable.

As part of the Cirque du Jour Project (CDJ), Bosti students worked with their physical education teachers, Mrs. West and Mr. Oldis, and members of the CDJ to learn a variety of circus acts. According to

veteran 5th grade teacher Mrs. Joanna McManaman, “The students thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Now they are reflecting on this magic memory as they articulate thanks to facilitators, PE teachers, Dr. Cholden and the members of the Bosti PTA.” Youngsters displayed their own personalities as they learned to work as clowns, escapte artists, juggler, stilt walkers and masters of the Diablo Stick! The circus program is designed to motivate students to participate more fully in physical education, and cultural

arts activities. The students performed during the day for their classmates, and later in the evening for family and friends.

Congratulations to Bosti’s talented 5th graders for putting on their own version of Greatest Show On Earth in Bohemia!

The students also enjoyed a variety of healthy snack alternatives including seaweed chips during the in-school field trip. As part of the health education curriculum, the students learned the benefits of adhering to a healthy diet and exercising consistently by working in teams to complete different movement activities.

The Need To Develop A Retirement Plan (NAPSI)—Preparing for retirement can be a challenging process— and emerging trends are not helping matters.

Fortunately, developing a retirement plan can help.

That’s the word from

experts who say changes in employee benefits, longer life spans, uncertainty with Social Security and Medicare and the rising cost of health care have made funding retirement more

difficult.

With most of the responsibilities for financial aspects of retirement now falling squarely on the shoulders of individuals, the key, according to Insured

Retirement Institute President and CEO Cathy Weatherford, is to have a comprehensive plan that addresses both retirement income and expenses-including health care.

National Retirement Planning Week was created to remind consumers of the importance of having a plan for funding their retirement.

For those needing help,

a professional financial advisor can assist when creating a road map toward attaining financial security.

Taking A Virtual Tour

Mrs. Kim Licato, Connetquot School District Chair of the ESL/ LOTE (languages other than English) department joined students and teachers at the Edward J. Bosti Elementary School on December 5th, for an innovative lesson, and virtual tour, of Bella Italia! Connetquot High School Italian language teacher Mrs. Kirstin Fusco brought along several of her students to work with Bosti’s C-Quest students as they learned about the history and culture of Italy.

Mrs. Lisa Manzo, EJ Bosti Elementary School C-Quest Advisor welcomed Mrs. Fusco and her students as they sang,

spoke and played games in Italian! The students worked so well with the C-Quest students as they learned, not only the language, but the culture and geography of Bella Italia.

Among the lessons the high school students shared with their new C-Quest friends were activities dealing with fashion, clothes shopping, and reading about Italian food treats! Ms. Fusco explained organization of the European Union to the students as well as the common currency (Euro) system used throughout Europe.

Mrs. Manzo thanked Ms. Fusco and her students for visiting,

and sharing the wonderful history and culture of the beautiful, energetic, exciting nation of Italy!

Connetquot’s C-Quest program is dedicated to enhancing the educational experience of the district’s 4th and 5th grade students.

Based at the Edward J. Bosti Elementary School, the C-Quest program services the needs of approximately 140 students throughout the district. Started 27 years ago as Connetquot’s ‘Gifted and Talented’ curriculum, today’s C-Quest program continues the mission of enriching the experiences of its students.

Welcoming Santa

Santa Claus, also known as Old Saint Nick, visited with pre-school students at Connetquot’s Arthur Premm School in Oakdale, on December 19th.

According to reports, the pre-schoolers, teachers and TA’s, were dressed in their colorful pajamas when they heard sleigh bells

and found that Santa had come to visit! A very good friend of Connetquot’s Assistant Superintendent Mr. Lou Malerba (wink, wink), Santa talked to the youngsters about the upcoming holiday, and distributed little treats to each.

The happy children had

an opportunity to suggest what they might like to see under their tree on Christmas morning, or what they’d like for mom or dad! Santa brought a smile to the face of each Arthur Premm students, as he wished the children and their parents a safe, enjoyable holiday season.

As part of the collaboration between the Learning for Life Program and the Transition Program in the Sayville Public Schools, students have been attending monthly Career Days at the Middle School and High School and interacting with visiting speakers.

So far this year, guests who have shared their work and life experiences included a veterinary technician and an emergency planning aide.

This month, Career Day welcomed MTA Police Officers John Matarazzo and Tom Merkel who talked about their careers as well as the MTA Safety

Program. During their presentations, many students expressed great interest in the MTA and related fields.

With monthly Career Days, students become aware of the variety of existing jobs. They gain insights into job responsibilities so they can make more realistic choices when it comes to career planning. The program also helps students understand why they would need a job, their commitments while employed, and even requirements such as certifications and diplomas for attaining their desired job. With Career Day,

every student learns from experienced personnel the importance of making mature and ethical decisions and dealing responsibly with their decisions.

“Career Days can be an exciting day for our students,” explained Claire Rymer, Transition Coordinator at Sayville Public Schools. “They learn a lot about careers and jobs and may even discover something that makes them think a little about their future. But the best outcome of career day is when the student comes home excited about the possibilities.”

State Of Thanks

“What are you thankful for?” was the poster contest theme for the 2013 New York State Senate Thanksgiving Day Creative Celebration for children in grades K-6.

During Fourth-grade art classes with Mrs. Robin Laxton, Cherry Avenue students in Sayville were encouraged once again to

participate in the New York State poster contest by creating designs reflecting the holiday theme. The students’ Thanksgiving creations were submitted for consideration.

As they say, a picture (or artwork) is worth a thousand words…

MLK Remembrance concluded the lessons by writing acts of kindness on white cutouts of doves as symbols of peace. The children shared their writings with classmates and sang together Michael Jackson’s Heal the World.

The paper doves are now hanging in the hallways.

On the Friday before the Monday holiday when schools would be closed,

Principal Carolynn Hansen had a surprise for the students; live doves would be released outside the school.

Filled with excitement, the children got a close-up look at a live dove before the three remaining would be released by White Wings NY, a local company that provides ceremonial birds for special occasions.

Interim Assistant Superintendent Mrs. Sandra Rubin recently welcomed students, family and friends to the second annual ‘Dancing Classrooms’ performance at Connetquot’s Idle Hour Elementary School. On Friday, December 13th, Idle Hour’s 4th grade students took pride in demonstrating the ballroom dancing skills they had been practicing in Physical Education classes for the past month.

Sponsored by the Idle Hour PTA, students in Mr. Brennan and Ms. Griffith’s classes, these confident Idle Hour students shared their own Dancing With The Stars moment! Idle MLK REMEMBRANCE - Pictured: Ms. Macy, owner of White Wings NY, shows one Hour Principal Mrs. Denise of the live doves to the children.

Toscano expressed her

gratitude to CoDanceCo’s Teaching artist Jessica Colosa, Cheryl Wheeler and IH P.E. teachers Mrs. Lowry and Mr. Rondinella for producing such a wonderfully exciting dancing demonstration.

According to Idle Hour YFS Director Mrs. Lara McNally “Students spent two physical education classes per week learning the Meringue, Fox Trot, Rumba, Swing, Tango and Viennese Waltz. Our 4th graders were taught to dance gracefully around the room and to have fun!”

Dancing Classrooms is a non-profit organization founded in 1994.

It’s mission is to build social awareness, confidence and self-esteem in children through the practice of

social dance. According to their website “The dance is a tool for getting the children to break down social barriers, learn about honor and respect, treat others carefully and improve & accept others.”

One parent said that the the children “looked so grown up,” while another graded their dancing skills as “awesome, with a score of 10!” The last part of this afternoon program called for the students to go into the audience and bring a parent out on the floor to share a dance. It was obvious by the end of the show that the program’s goal of teaching pride, confidence and respect had been achieved by these talented Idle Hour students!

Consumers Should Take Advantage Of Free Credit Reports (NAPSI)—The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) found that many consumers are overwhelmed by the amount of information available to help them learn more about the financial services marketplace. At the same

time, the CFPB found one of the most popular resources offered is information about credit reports.

The credit bureaus have found that information about credit reports is popular as well. “Each year, there are over 25 million free credit reports

provided to consumers,” said Stuart K. Pratt, president and CEO of the Consumer Data Industry Association. “And while that’s a significant number, there are still a considerable number of consumers who aren’t exercising their option to get their report.

According to a survey done by VantageScore and the Consumer Federation of America, 37 percent of consumers have never obtained a copy of their credit report,” he added.

Consumers can get a free credit report from each of the three nationwide credit bureaus, Equifax,

Experian and TransUnion, once a year by going to www. annualcreditreport.com.

The process is easy and enables consumers to have real-time access to their credit reports.

“Many people get annual medical checkups.

We encourage consumers

to be just as conscientious when it comes to their personal finances; get an annual credit checkup by obtaining your free credit report,” added Pratt.

Big Bird The largest living bird is the ostrich, which can weigh 330 pounds.

Lilacs Shout By: Milicent G. Tycko, Stony Brook

Unbelievable That in the midst of dry brown pine needles And ice-etched frost pools of fallen leaves There dares to stand now A new crocus blown To full purple Which leads the doubter further Towards the worn out tangle of Wildrose branches Hanging sullen after Winter’s wild beating

“Some Big, Some Small, Some Fall” Photo by: Mike Missano, North Babylon

Unbelievable That now When finger cracks through crusty films Of frost to find Stored cold water And all the yard is mud The wooden tub of sticks Proclaims I am and will be more For see the pulpy buds I raised While you bemoaned the winter’s wild Soon these juicy tips will burst And lilacs, lilacs, lilacs shout And that’s what Nature’s all about.
