these miles are traveled without incident.

In fact, according to the National Safety Council, the national school bus accident rate is 0.01 per 100 miles traveled, compared to 0.96 for other passenger vehicles, which makes school buses considerably safer than other passenger vehicles.

Though school buses are safe, there are other ways to make them even safer. Children, especially

those new to school buses, may find the bus fun and unique and not pay attention to simple safety rules. But parents should take steps to ensure that youngsters always heed the following school bus safety guidelines.

• Wait for the bus in a safe location that is away from traffic, ideally staying in a designated school bus stop until the bus arrives.

• Dress for optimal visibility, especially in inclement weather when it can be difficult for the school bus driver and other motorists to see pedestrians.

• Do not board the bus until it comes to a complete stop. Wait for the driver to open the door, which engages the “Stop” sign for oncoming motorists.

• Use the handrail and enter the bus in an orderly manner.

• Promptly find a seat, sit down and buckle the safety belt if there is one available. Students

assigned seats on the bus should take their seat without making a fuss.

• Keep backpacks and other belongings out of the center aisle. Store them under your seat or on your lap.

• Remain seated at all times while the bus is in motion.

• Keep arms, hands, legs, and heads inside of the bus at all times.

• Always follow the driver’s instructions and avoid situations that will cause driver distraction.

• Wait for the bus to stop completely before standing up or attempting to exit.

• Exit the bus in an orderly manner, without pushing fellow passengers.

• Only cross the street in front of the bus. It is very difficult for the driver to see students crossing behind the bus.

• Wait for the driver to check traffic before crossing the street and be on the lookout for inattentive motorists.

Many students take the bus to school twice a day, five days a week.

Approximately 26 million elementary and secondary school children ride school buses daily in the United States, and the U.S. Department of Transportation says more than 50 percent of all K-12 students in the country ride yellow school buses, traveling approximately 4 billion miles each year.

Of Deadlines & Days Off By: Jamie Lynn Ryan What to write...

It’s 8 p.m. on deadline day, and I have no column prepared. Nothing exciting going on, no inspiration to speak of, nothing.

Makes for stimulating reading, right?

Well, I am preparing to go away on vacation, so that’s something. But in the midst of finishing up and making sure all the loose ends are taken care of, I somehow lost the inspiration for my own column along the way. Not that I often spend much time contemplating it, but I at least have the option

of putting a little more thought into it.

Today, not so much.

Vacations are funny like that. You spend so many extra hours preparing to go away that, by the time you get to where you’re going, it hardly seems worth the effort. Shouldn’t the days leading up to a get-away be somewhat calming too?

And don’t even get me started on the headache that awaits once you return from any kind of lengthy break. Piles of mail, inboxes overflowing with unread messages, tons of voicemails…

Ah, but to forget about it all for a day or

two, to be completely disconnected from the world – no phones, no e-mails, no computers, no interruptions. Just peace and quiet and relaxation.

Sounds nice, doesn’t it?

Let me know the next time you have a vacation like that. Really. I’d like to hear if anyone truly “gets away from it all” anymore.

It doesn’t seem like it, but hey, maybe I’m in the minority. Maybe someone out there has discovered the great secret to dropping out of the rat race.

We all have to come back to reality eventually. But let’s at least try to make the break worthwhile.

Eagle Scout Honored

Safety A Priority

On Sunday, August 24th, Matthew Robert Fortmeyer was honored

by Boy Scout Troop 343, at his Eagle Scout Court of Honor and became the Troop’s 84th Eagle Scout.

Matthew, entering his senior year in high school, began his quest to Eagle in 2004, when he joined the Cub Scouts and over the next six years, he would progress through the ranks until he reached the

pinnacle of success.

Since 1912, less than five percent of Boy Scouts have earned the Eagle Scout rank, who are examples for those both in scouting and the community as a whole. Eagles do their best each day to make their communities better, their rank and their influence count strongly for better scouting and for better citizenship in their troop, community, and in their contacts with other people.

To this they pledge their sacred honor. Required to earn 21 merit badges, Matthew went above and beyond and earned a total of 37 badges, ranging from Astronomy to Wood carving. Matthew also received awards, such as the Cub Scout Arrow of Light, Order of the Arrow, Ad Altare Dei Religious Medal, Pope Pius XII Religious Medal, and World Conservation Award.

For Matthew’s Eagle Scout project, he removed a portion of the old split

rail fencing that formed the main animal enclosure at Hoyt Farm Park and replaced it with fencing that matched the newer, more recently built enclosure. Approximately 170 feet of old split-rail fence and gates were removed and replaced with a new fence and gates made from pressure treated lumber and wire horse fencing. The new fence is much more secure and much more attractive.

The enclosure benefits the park, the animals it protects and many visitors, mostly children, who come to watch and feed the animals. The projected was completed on September 7th, 2013.

The Eagle Scout is a long tradition in the Fortmeyer family, as Mathhew’s older brother Christopher Fortmeyer became an Eagle Scout several years ago, while his father Gary Fortmeyer is a parent volunteer with the Scouts.

with the Art Schock Award, the organization’s most prestigious award, at the NYAPT Annual Conference in Albany.

Ms. Winsper, who has led the transportation department at Longwood for the past 12 years, previously served the West Islip Schools. She is the past president of NYAPT, and serves on the State Education Department’s (SED) Advisory Board to the State Director for Pupil Transportation Services.

One of just 24 master instructors in New York State, she chaired the SED’s Master Instructor Committee to implement a school bus drivers’ course for the state. Nationally, she serves as the New York State delegate to a national safety board charged with revising the National Transportation Specifications and

Procedures for safe pupil transportation.

On Long Island, Ms. Winsper annually spearheads Operation Safe Stop, a state-wide effort to crack down on illegal, potentially lethal passing of buses by motorists.

Her involvement of school children, local law enforcement officers and elected officials, has gained the attention of the media and the public.

Ms. Winsper was nominated for this award

by Janet Bryan, Longwood’s Assistant Superintendent for District Operations. She cites her school bus safety efforts at Longwood where she has implemented bus safety programs at the elementary schools, involved students in a bus safety poster contest, and serves on Longwood’s Safety Awareness Committee.

Students learn many important lessons while in middle school and high school. Assignments get progressively more difficult, and students grow accustomed to being independent thinkers and largely responsible for their educational accomplishments.

In addition, students may learn other lessons, such as how organization can play a critical role in success and benefit them both in the classroom and out of it.

Students are typically introduced to lockers during high school or middle school. As elementary school students, kids use classroom desks to store books and supplies, and how desks are organized is often governed by teachers who have firm rules regarding the condition of desks. Lockers are an entirely different story.

Students are solely responsible for organizing and maintaining their lockers and may be tasked

with following a few rules set forth by the school.

Students may overlook the importance of organized lockers, and in such instances lockers can easily become disaster areas. But a messy locker can add unnecessary stress to a school day. Getting lockers organized requires some effort and upkeep.

• Color code the locker.

Grouping subjects by color can make it easier to find notebooks, textbooks and folders in a locker. If materials necessary for math class are colored in red, students can quickly find these materials en route to class.

• Remove trash. Remove anything that does not belong in the locker, including garbage and old projects. Students should not use their lockers to store items they don’t need for school. That only takes away space for the stuff kids do need for class.

• Group according to schedule. In addition to employing a color-coding system, students also

can group books by daily schedule. Organize the locker based on which classes are held in the morning and afternoon.

This makes it less likely that students will forget supplies they need for class.

• Think about extra accessories.

Lockers have the basics, which are usually a shelf and a hook for coats. All sorts of locker accessories exist to customize the interior.

An extra shelf may be helpful for storing books or smaller supplies. Look into a message board or more hooks that can be hung on the inside of the door. Figure out what your child can use to keep items from piling up on the floor.

• Develop a maintenance plan. Old assignments may begin to accumulate inside a locker. This can be remedied by maintaining a cleaning schedule for a locker. A few minutes each week can keep a locker clean and clear of clutter.

When you speak to Steven Parrinelli today, you sense a smart, confident young man who is carefully selecting his next moves to achieve his goal of a career in medicine.

But as a grammar school student at St. Patrick School in Huntington, Steven hadn’t selected a direction for his life. In fact, according to Steven; “My breakout years didn’t come until I was a high school student.”

Parents That Believed In Catholic School

Like many of the students in Catholic elementary schools, Steven started in elementary school because his parents “are strong believers in Catholic education”.

The elementary school they selected for Steven, St. Patrick’s in Huntington, reinforced the values they lived at home and was able to provide a great deal of individual attention to Steven’s learning needs. Steven remembers St. Patrick’s for its small size, for the many friends he made during his time there, and for the strong feeling of community within St. Patrick Parish and School. “St. Patrick’s provided an excellent educational foundation, and I was a good student, but I hadn’t yet gotten competitive about my grades.” said Steven.

The “Breakout” Years Like the overwhelming majority of Catholic elementary school students, Steven elected to go to Catholic high school and like the most of the students he got his first choice of schools: St. Dominic’s in Oyster Bay. It was after mid-term exams in Steven’s first year at St. Dominic High School that he had what he considers his ‘breakout’. The chance to be on the Honor Roll at St. Dominic’s gave him the incentive. The additional recognition each trimester of a Principal’s List Luncheon made it personal. The individual attention he received and the chance to know the teachers from his AP (Advanced Placement) classes personally were some of Steven’s favorite parts of the high school experience.

One Individual

17

The Right Chemistry Stands Out While the interpersonal relationships Steven enjoyed with his teachers and members of the administration were powerful incentives, one particular relationship stands out. As Steven puts it; “My Global History and US History teacher, Mr. Drysielski, taught me the most valuable skill I mastered in high school.” “He taught me how to express myself better in writing.”

Steven continued. “Being a better writer has helped me everywhere.”

Looking Forward After looking at various college options, Steven was invited by the University of Scranton to visit their campus. In Steven’s words; “I felt like I belonged here.”

The manageable size of the school, the friendly people, and a strong science program were the ‘selling points’.

That and the Dean’s Scholarship which will fund half of Steven’s college were all considerations in selecting the University of Scranton. “I am considering a career in medicine,” said Steven. “The strong science program at the University of Scranton will help me prepare for medical school.”

My discussion with Steven ended with his rationale for wanting to become a doctor; “I like to help people.”

We couldn’t agree more! Steven is a fine example of the academically prepared and spiritually grounded students graduating from Long Island’s Catholic schools.

Ready For Kindergarten?

Age 5 is a big year in a child’s life. In many school districts, children enroll in kindergarten shortly after their fifth birthdays.

But age alone does not dictate if a child is ready to transition from a preschool environment to kindergarten, and parents may need to work with educators to determine if their children are ready to take the first big step of their academic careers.

Many developmental and education experts believe that numerous factors, in addition to age, determine school readiness, including physical, social and cognitive development.

Many parents want their kids to begin kindergarten at the same time as

other kids their age, but enrolling youngsters before they’re ready could have repercussions for years to come. Students who begin kindergarten before they’re ready may fall behind, resulting in frustration that turns them off from school.

With such significant stakes, parents may want to answer a few questions and look for these generalized kindergarten readiness clues before enrolling their youngsters in school.

• Does my child have solid oral-language skills? Language is more than drilling letters and sight words into a child’s head through repetition.

Language allows kids to share in new

experiences and lessons that will expand their vocabularies. The more kids experience, the more their curiosity grows. This opens up opportunities for discussion about a variety of topics and introduces words and concepts that may be new and exciting to children. Research indicates one of the best predictors of eventual reading success is a welldeveloped oral vocabulary in kindergarten. Children will retain words if they hear them enough and if they’re used in context and conversation.

• Can my child listen to and follow instructions?

Kindergarten students will be introduced to many foreign things, and some kinds may be in a school

environment for the very first time. Teachers will be issuing instructions and seeking cooperation from the class. To keep up with peers and lessons, kindergarteners will need to be able to remain quiet for extended periods of time, listen to instructions and then properly act on them.

• Is my son or daughter excited about learning?

Some children cannot wait to go to kindergarten, especially those who are excited at the prospect of going to the same school as their older siblings.

Enthusiasm about school and an eagerness to learn and discover new things are indicative of kindergarten readiness.

A child does not need to

have mastery over every skill just yet, but taking the initiative to try and ask questions is a good start to successful learning.

• Does my child want to be independent? The phrases “I’ll do it myself” or “I’ll try” can be music to a kindergarten teacher’s ears. Parents may be in a rush and find it easier to dress kids or get them snacks. But doing everything for kids puts them at a disadvantage.

Independent streaks can help kids adjust to school.

Kindergarteners may have to go to the bathroom and wash up independently.

They also may have to fasten buttons, open up lunches and hang up coats. Children who cannot handle such tasks

may struggle to adjust to a school environment.

• Can my child recognize basic letters and numbers? Children entering kindergarten should know most letters by sight and be able to count to 10. Preparing for kindergarten can be fun and does not require flash cards or homework.

Encourage kids to count objects in the world around them or do some preliminary reading by recognizing letters on signs at stores or places in the neighborhood.

Kindergarten readiness is determined by a variety of factors, including age, school assessment, enthusiasm about learning, and signs of independence.

Help Children Make New Friends Students learn lessons each day. While many of these lessons pertain to their coursework, kids pick up much more than book smarts from school, where kids first learn to cultivate friendships and build lasting relationships.

In addition to a new curriculum, new teachers and new schedules, kids also might make new friends once a school year begins. While some familiar faces carry through from grade to grade, chances are youngsters will meet new students who will soon become good friends. While many kids find it easy to make new friends, others might need some assistance so they can make the most of opportunities to socialize and form friendships that might last a lifetime.

• Offer opportunities for socialization. Children should be given the opportunity to explore friendships outside of the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalent. Establish a carpool or invite a classmate over for a play date. Unstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great way to establish friendships.

Invite new children over each time to see which friendships are the strongest, but make sure you are not pushing a friendship on your child.

• Discover common interests. One of the quickest ways to build friendships is through common interests, says Kirk Martin, a behavioral therapist and author.

Encourage your child to join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kids with similar interests.

Sometimes finding reasons to talk other children is the most difficult step to making new friends. Sharing a common interest removes this barrier.

• Teach proper manners.

Children who are polite, well-mannered and know how to follow direction are better equipped to attract friends. Children who misbehave may be shunned by other kids and their parents who do not want the hassle of an unruly youngster coming over to play. Respectful children who are honest, trustworthy and capable of sustaining eye contact and making small talk may find it easy to make friends.

• Take the friendship

lead. As parents, you can improve your child’s chances of making friends by getting friendly with their classmates’ parents.

You do not have to become bosom buddies with everyone, but making connections with fellow parents can reinforce the value of friendship to your children. Socializing as families also presents other opportunities to get together and solidify relationships.

• Boost confidence levels. As a parent you can talk to your children about their strengths and positive attributes.

Emphasizing kids’ best traits will increase their self-esteem, and that sense of self-worth can make it easier for them to make friends. A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meeting new people, but a child who can proudly stand behind his or her accomplishments may attract friends easily.

School is about more than just hitting the books. It’s also a prime opportunity for kids to develop their personal skills and make new friends.

Digital Learning More Prevalent Technology is an important part of many people’s daily lives. Devices like computers, tablets, smartphones, and video games are now so widely used that it’s hard to imagine a life without email, the Internet or text messages.

Even children are proving adept at using technology, which can be a valuable tool for educators attempting to reach today’s youngsters. Digital learning is learning facilitated by technology. Not only can digital learning be done in the classroom, but also it can extend to home life as children continue to explore lessons through hands-on interaction with digital devices.

According to data from Project Tomorrow’s “Speak Up” study, an initiative of the nation’s leading education nonprofit organization, students are frustrated with the lack of technology in their schools and by the lack of sophisticated use of that technology. The study indicates that students want more of the following: • Social-based learning • Tools that increase untethered learning • Development of and connection to a

personal network of expert resources • A digitally rich learning environment Students acclimated to technology at home are not content to merely rely on textbooks or CDs in the classroom. They’re more interested in interactive, Web-based tools that enhance communication and collaboration.

As a result of this shifting landscape, parents should expect to see more lessons and homework involving interactive technology. To make this transition go more smoothly, teachers and parents can work together to ensure kids are making the most of the exciting developments in education.

The following are just a handful of the changes that figure to come about as a result of the transition to digital learning: • Lesson plans, assignments and tutoring opportunities available online for continued reference.

• Learning-centered chat rooms for peer-to-peer interaction and sharing of materials.

• Digital content in the way of high quality academic materials

available through interactive apps and not stagnant PDFs or text materials. Software may range from video lectures to learning games.

• Increased availability of teachers and professors.

Students and parents will be able to reach out to educators beyond school hours if assistance or further clarification of assignments is needed.

• Supplemental material that comes at the pace of the student, rather than the pace of an entire classroom.

Interactive and adaptive software enables students to spend more or less time on lessons to achieve the best level of learning.

• Digital communication with educators, including online conference scheduling.

• Smartboards, tablets and laptop use more heavily integrated into classrooms.

Digital learning and technological advancements are changing rapidly and helping to reshape the classroom and how kids are learning.

portions and food choices aren’t always satisfying, states suffering from high child obesity rates have seen marked improvements.

Canada is one of the few leading industrialized countries that does not have a national nutrition strategy to implement healthy school lunches.

It’s estimated that only 10 to 15 percent of Canadian children have access to school meals. These meals are not provided by a wellfunded national program, but by a patchwork of individual volunteer efforts, some provincial government funding and corporate donations.

Whether students purchase lunch from school or bring lunch from home, there are ways to guarantee a more diverse offering and better nutrition. Here are some guidelines to follow.

• Offer nutrient-dense foods.

Foods should contribute to the daily recommended amounts of protein, iron, calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Provide a selection of foods, such as lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, that will give children the nutrients they need. Nutrient-dense foods also help kids feel fuller, longer.

• Limit fat intake. Avoid foods that do not get their fat from polyunsaturated

and monounsaturated fats.

Saturated fats can lead to obesity and clogged arteries. The American Heart Association recommends kids get no more than 25 to 35 percent of their calories from fat.

Fish, nuts and olives are healthy fat sources.

• Let kids choose some of their food. Allow kids to pick some of the healthy foods they will be eating.

Giving kids a say in their diets will make them more likely to enjoy their lunches and cut back on snack foods. Eating meals regularly will keep energy levels up during school and make kids less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks to fill hunger gaps.

• Make small changes that add up. Switching from white bread to whole grain breads, and opting for low-fat dairy products instead of full-fat dairy products can make a world of difference. Kids may not notice a change in texture or flavor, and many of kids’ favorite foods, such as chicken nuggets, pizza and macaroni and cheese, can be made with healthier ingredients.

• Remember, beverages count, too. Giving children a healthy lunch and then packing a sugar-filled, high-calorie drink negates your efforts. Calories from beverages can quickly add up. Water is always the best option for a healthy drink. Low-fat milk and real fruit juice consumed in moderation also make healthy alternatives to sugary beverages.

Offering healthy school lunches is an important step to raising healthy kids. New guidelines and offerings make it easier for kids to get the nutrition they need for their growing bodies.

The benefits of a healthy diet are clear and well documented. In addition to providing the nutrients a growing body needs, consuming a balanced diet helps children maintain a healthy weight. Obesity continues to be a growing problem among schoolaged children and can contribute to the onset of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and many other adverse medical conditions.

Children attending school will eat at least one meal away from home each day. A healthy lunch provides sound nutrition to give students energy to do well in school and for the rest of the day. Children who do not eat well at lunch may have difficulty concentrating, while others may feel sluggish or tired.

As part of the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, the United States National School Lunch Program was revised to guarantee healthy, nutritionally sound choices, as established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for lunch.

America’s school menus were altered to be healthier than ever, including more fruits and vegetables while limiting calories. Despite some controversy through the years, including some students saying the smaller
