Est. 2002 Mathew Toetz 201 East Franklin Street Sparta, WI 54656 (608) 366-3443 mtoetz@spartan.org Grade Levels: 06-12 165. Sparta High Point Charter School Sparta High Point serves students in grades 6-12 who feel the current school system does not adequately meet their learning needs. Students may be those who are under-challenged, unmotivated, or unsuccessful in a traditional school setting for a variety of reasons or who feel the need to develop more meaningful relationships with teachers and other students in a smaller community of learners. Components of the program include (1) a Project-Based instructional framework aligned to Wisconsin Model Academic Standards, (2) studentdriven learning experience facilitated by teachers, (3) individualized and cooperative learning opportunities, (4) community partnerships incorporated into expanded learning experiences, (5) character development and positive decision making, and (6) accountability. Stevens Point Area School District Steven Johnson 1900 Polk Street (715) 345-5444 www.wisp.k12.wi.us Stevens Point, WI 54481 Est. 2000 Connie Negaard 2000 Polk Street Stevens Point, WI 54481 (715) 345-5620 cnegaard@wisp.k12.wi.us Grade Levels: 07-09 166. Concerned About Reaching Everyone (CARE) Concerned About Reaching Everyone (CARE) is an alternative school for at-risk students. It serves 45 seventh-, eighth‐, and ninth-grade students in need of a smaller school environment that provides individualized instruction and support. The program consists of a block schedule with certified teachers providing instruction for students who have been identified as at-risk. An at-risk student is defined as a student facing truancy issues, social or emotional problems, or low academic abilities. Teaching staff work on sound academics and develop the rapport, support, and nurturing environment necessary for a successful alternative program at the junior high school level. Retired senior volunteers assist the students as tutors and mentors. The school has expanded to include adventure education, community service, and technology integration. Est. 2004 David Lockett 1800 East Avenue Stevens Point, WI 54481 (715) 345-5418 dlockett@wisp.k12.wi.us Grade Levels: KG-06 167. Jefferson School for the Arts The Jefferson School for the Arts (JSFA) serves a diverse population of students in grades KG-6. The school seeks to create experiences in theater, drama, visual and musical arts, adventure education, and community performances to allow children to express themselves and encourage a positive self-concept focused upon divergent experiences. The goal of JSFA is to integrate arts concepts and enrichment activities to enhance, expand, and modernize the academic delivery model. The close proximity to and relationship with the UW–Stevens Point (UWSP) Fine Arts Department and the Conservatory for Creative Expression make JSFA a desirable match for an arts concept charter school. Est. 2002 Dennis Raabe 2516 School Street Stevens Point, WI 54481 (715) 345-5420 draabe@wisp.k12.wi.us 168. McDill Academies The McDill Academies serves students in grades KG-6 within the Stevens Point School System. McDill Academies is made up of four separate academies: (1) the Academy of Math, (2) the Academy of Language Arts, (3) the Academy of the Sciences, and (4) the Academy of the 69
Grade Levels: KG-06 Humanities. Students spend one to two hours daily in each academy. Students may be grouped into the academies based on grade level, development, or performance levels. Each academy has identified a continuum of grade-level performance standards that students are expected to master each year. Individual progress of students in attaining standards is monitored using the Assess 2 Learn Web-based computer assessment package developed by Riverside Publishing. In each academy, staff and parents continually review the curriculum to determine what procedures, materials, and strategies lead to the learning of stated skills. Est. 1994 John Blader 2926 Blaine Street Stevens Point, WI 54481 (715) 345-5421 jblader@wisp.k12.wi.us Grade Levels: KG-06 169. McKinley Center The McKinley Center is one of 10 elementary schools in the Stevens Point Area School District and serves students in grades K-6. The student population includes regular education; gifted and talented program; special education, such as learning, cognitive, physical, and speech and language; and education for English-language learners. McKinley Center goals are to (1) help every individual reach the highest level of success without regard to economic or cultural background or individual learning style, (2) allow parents, staff, students, and the community to work together to become lifelong learners and responsible citizens in a global society, and (3) provide educational programs that take into account the emotional, physical, and intellectual needs of each individual. The charter school works to accomplish these goals by integrating technology into every student’s learning experience. Students achieve improved academic results by using technology through the creation of Power-Point presentations, Kids Pix slide shows, and videos. Student success is further enhanced with parents and the community engaged in the education process. Est. 2004 Pamela Bork 2200 Wisconsin Avenue Plover, WI 54467 (715) 345-5425 pbork@wisp.k12.wi.us Grade Levels: KG-06 170. Roosevelt IDEA School The Roosevelt IDEA (Instructional Differentiation for Educational Achievement) School, located in the Stevens Point School District serves students in grades K-6. The charter school concept of differentiated instruction seeks to bridge the achievement gap between the low achieving students and the balance of our student population within the school. Differentiated instruction is often promoted for the gifted learners, however, educational research and literature supports tailored learning for all students. The underlying premise of our charter school for differentiated instruction guarantees that each student will be assessed and provided instruction at their appropriate level. It is not a one size fits all model-the traditional “cookbook” approach to education. Our goal for developing this charter school is to follow this education model Assess, Instruct, Deliver, and Extend opportunities for students. Using the AIDE format, teachers implement evidence-based practices, which result in optimal academic and social competences for all students.
