“Where Kids Come First:Each and Every One”Rachel Casey, PresidentBoard of Educationrachel.casey@csd4.k12.mo.us"Experience Grandview C-4"Rachel Casey, President, Board of EducationThis summer, as you come across Grandview C-4 students in yourcommunity, I invite you to ask them about their experiencesin the district. If they are a high school student, ask them whathouse they are in. I expect you will hear an enthusiastic responseabout the latest Green Team robots, entrepreneurial business goals,experiences in cadet teaching, or auditions for the fall musical. AtGrandview High School freshmen through seniors thrive in the SmallLearning Communities (SLCs). Academic gains are impressive ashouses create closer relationships with teachers and administrators.2011Walk/Run &Health FairThe GrandviewEducation Foundation(GEF) and theGrandview C-4 PhysicalEducation and HealthTeachers will co-host the10th annual GrandviewTriangle Walk/Run & HealthFair on Saturday, September17, at Grandview HighSchool.

My personal experience has been hallways so quiet Ipeeked in doors to make sure students were there!Middle school students may not be quick to share, but they are developing their plans andpriorities. At GC-4 friendships in a diverse environment enlarge students worlds and providea wealth of learning opportunities not offered in a textbook. Also, middle students arepreparing their personal paths, taking career and interest assessments and planning for highschool and beyond. As you meet elementary students, ask them about their principals andteachers. Find out what books they are reading and encourage them to keep their minds, aswell as their bodies, active over the summer.And in the fall, we invite you all to visit our schools. Come to a football game, a marchingband halftime show, an elementary school literacy night, or to all-district activities such asthe Grandview Triangle Walk/Run (September 17) and Trivia Night (November 1).

Math Benchmarks Designed ToEnhance Student AchievementApproximately 25 district teachers (grades 5-12) spent the week of June13th-17th at Grandview High School working collaboratively to designmath benchmarks around the Missouri Grade/Course Level Expectations(commonly referred to as GLEs/CLEs) and the district Math Power Standards.Math benchmarking is a process where teachers identified those math conceptsand skills students must master at each grade level/course, followed by thedevelopment of the actual benchmarks (mini common assessments), whichindicate students’ mastery of the skills and concepts. You can view a videomontage of their work at www.csd4.k12.mo.us/currentnews.html.Once developed, the teachers ordered the math benchmarks and developeda pacing calendar which will be used in every Grandview C-4 school. Thebenchmarks were clustered into “scrimmages” (more comprehensive commonassessments), whichstudents take approximatelyevery 2 weeks. Scrimmagesrequire students to movefrom skill acquisition toapplying their knowledgethrough the completion ofmore rigorous and complexproblems. They are alsodesigned to “spiral” thelearning, to ensure thatpreviously mastered skillsApproximately 25 district teachers (grades 5-12) spent a week inJune at GHS working collaboratively to design math benchmarks toenhance student achievement.and concepts are retained instudents’ long-term memory.GHS teachers who give theEOC (End of Course) exams have been participating in math benchmarking for thepast 3 years. Extending the math benchmarking down through the middle schoolsand into the 5th grade is a huge step in ensuring every student at GC-4 has aconsistent experience, regardless of their school or classroom teacher assignment.As a result of implementing this anchor strategy, a common assessment format,language, pacing calendar, and grading system will now be used in the mathcontent area for all students in grades 5-12. This initiative moves GC-4 toimplementing a guaranteed and viable curriculum for every student, whichwill result in students exiting high school with the necessary college and careerreadiness skills. Many districts implementing this initiative have seen tremendousacademic gains, and GC-4 teachers and administration believes this work will havea positive impact on student achievement levels.This curriculum work was supported through collaborative efforts between thedistrict Curriculum & Instruction (C & I) department and the PREP-KC organization.GC-4 is currently in the process of scheduling ongoing collaborative curriculumrelease days throughout the 2011-12 school year, where teachers across multiplegrade levels will come together and use student achievement data to refine theirteaching and students’ learning around math.Transition DayIs August 10Transition Day will be heldon Wednesday, August 10,for incoming 6 th and 9 thgraders for the 2011-12 schoolyear.
