We have had a very productive summer with key members of the Positive Behavioral Intervention System (PBIS) developing incentive levels, a new point card and a training manual that served as the main resource for opening day.

 

We also worked diligently in coordinating the STAR reading and math data for NYSED. The data will be used as an assessment tool to monitor Annual Yearly Progress (AYP).

 

One of the ways Little Flower UFSD will be sharing expertise with others is through Eastern Suffolk BOCES. Lisa Boerum, Assistant Superintendent, and Sara Kardasz, Librarian, have been asked to present the process leading up to the Showcase Celebration of Learning presented on October 20, 2009 with the Library Media Specialists and Administrators of Eastern Suffolk BOCES.

 

Although we have been approved for 15 classes of 8:1:1, I have decided that at this time we will not exceed our current 13 classrooms. As our student enrollment increases, I am hopeful we will reach our goal of 15 classrooms.

 

May the 2009-2010 school year be our most productive year yet as we continue to educate our special children.

 

 

Sincerely,

George H. Grigg

Superintendent
