LUNENBURG PRIMARY SCHOOLThe Lunenburg Primary School continues to strive toward educating the total child. We believe that the success of ourprograms is dependent upon a healthy and productive partnership between home and school. Toward that end,parents must play an active role in the daily programs and routines of their child’s educational program.With an enrollment of four hundred twenty-six students, class sizes range from eighteen to twenty-three. Becauseresearch indicates that class sizes of twenty and under in the early years provide lasting educational benefits to youngchildren, we strive to keep our kindergarten through grade 2 classes smaller.During the summer of 2007 summer school funding was limited. Through fundraising efforts, which included two bookfairs, we were able to provide the funding for a limited number of kindergarten and first grade children to receiveinstruction for three weeks in July. Mrs. Lisa Stone, kindergarten teacher, and Mrs. Barbara Nelson, grade 1 teacher,were excited about the progress that all children made. This progress was further noted in our grade one and two fallreading testing.Through the support of parents and to meet the needs of parents and children, three full day, tuition-basedkindergarten programs were created this fall. We are excited that parent interest in the full day program continues toincrease, and look forward to when we can offer this program to all five year olds. The State Quality Full DayKindergarten Grant supports $37,000 in faculty salaries in these full day programs. We realize that this State money willcontinue to diminish as our Chapter 70 funds increase with more students enrolled in a full day program.The Primary School continues to strive toward academic excellence. Reading testing was completed this fall and againin January on every child in kindergarten, grade 1, and grade 2. The mid-winter testing shows significantimprovements in all areas of reading (phonemic segmentation, fluency, letter identification, sound symbol). We arehopeful that our end-of-year testing will validate that all children are reading on grade level. According to our SchoolImprovement Plan, it is our goal that 80 percent of our students at each grade level will read on grade level in June.In the area of math, the faculty administers quarterly math assessments to monitor children’s progress. Teachers usethe Results model to discuss their individual classroom results as well as to plan the needed interventions for thosechildren not meeting the standard. Our School Improvement Plan’s goal in math is that at least 80 percent of ourstudents will attain 80 percent of the standards.Our School Improvement Plan focuses on the district goals: To foster the talents, skills, and potential of all students,to ensure that staff and programs are conducive to instructional excellence, to use technology as an integralcomponent of teaching, learning, and management, and to provide facilities that meet staff, program, and communityneeds. We are very proud that two of the Primary teachers attended a week-long training for Responsive Classroom.Both Ms. Chapdelaine and Ms. Stone will provide some Responsive Classroom training for staff on release days.The Primary School Council meets the first Thursday of each month to discuss school issues and to develop its annualschool Improvement Plan. Parents and community members are welcome to attend. Members of the Council for the2007-2008 school year are:Principal: Cyndy DaukantasTeachers: Sheila Bilotta, Nancy Chapdelaine, and Vicki BarbierParents: Heather Swift, Erin Willett, Donna White, and Jason RowleyCommunity Representative: Sharon MigliozziSchool Committee Rep: Jennifer BensonWe would like to recognize Ms. Debra Colello-Cleaves for her the thirty-three years of dedication to the young childrenof Lunenburg. Ms. Cleaves retired in early December after having taught grade 6, kindergarten, and for the last twentysome-odd years, grade 2. Her dedication to young children, the total school, and the staff has earned Ms. Cleaves bothrespect and admiration. We will miss Deb next year, but wish her a long, healthy, and busy retirement.In closing, the faculty and staff of the Primary School is extremely proud of the work they do with young children. Weare deeply committed to student learning and to our own professional growth. Only through working with parents arewe able to accomplish the goals set forth by the State and district.
