Mr. Wigo reviewed the recoupment of payments by the Pupil Services and Special
Education Department that resulted in substantial monies paid to the District for special
education services delivered by the Rose Tree Media School District to special education
students. These monies were recovered through three categories:
1)
Students who reside at Elwyn but were the financial responsibility of the

Secondary connection for redundant phone service
In order to safeguard against Internet outages, and because our telephone system is
Voice Over IP, the district needs to have some redundancy. Infradapt, the maintenance
provider for our current phone system, has proposed a secondary SIP (Session
Initiation Protocol) trunk to be located at Springton Lake Middle School for redundant
phone service when the connection is lost at Penncrest High School. This will provide
the signaling service at a cost of one hundred dollars per month. In order for this to
work, Comcast needs to provide an Internet connection at Springton Lake that will be
used strictly for voice, not data. The Comcast service order agreement is a cost of
ninety-four dollars and eighty-five cents per monthly. Both of these costs are built into
the Technology budget for 2013-2014.
Action: Approval of agreements from Infradapt and Comcast will be on June 2013

Secondary Internet connection
Currently, Widener University serves as the Internet Service Provider for Rose Tree
Media School District. That connection is shared among a total of six (6) Delaware
County School Districts. We have recently had an incident where one district’s problem
caused all the districts having that same connection to lose service and then have
intermittent service for a total of 3 weeks. Since much of the work in a school district
relies heavily on use of the Internet, and because we are adding many more devices
that will be using Internet services, we are requesting a secondary Internet connection
to use as redundancy and failover. The Technology Department investigated 3
resources to do this, and the least expensive solution is to receive Internet access
service via our current fiber wide area network through the Delaware County
Intermediate Unit. The fiber is already there, and the service would be at a cost of seven
hundred seventy eight dollars per month. Most of that cost, Seven hundred and twenty
eight dollars, is also E-Rate eligible, for which the district receives 40% reimbursement.
This connection would give us additional guarantee of service when connections to
Widener are lost.
Action: Approval of agreement from Delaware County Intermediate Unit will be on June

Custom script development for Mobile Device Management
In order to manage all of the Apple devices we have in the district, we are using
software from JAMF. This software manages apps, configurations, wireless access, and
a number of other features for all the Apple devices. In order for us to add the student
name and username to the management record, we will need a Custom Script
Development from JAMF. This script will enable the Technology Department to know
the owner of every piece of equipment. The cost for this custom script development is a
fee of Five hundred dollars. The development of this script will take about 2 to 3 weeks.
Since time is of the essence, and the Technology Department is trying to get all of our
new devices ready for the beginning of school, Patti Linden requested an approval from
the Board of Directors at the Committee meeting so that we can submit the requisition
immediately. All eight Directors present agreed to the approval.
Action: Ratification of the approval of agreement with JAMF Software, LLC, will be on

SCHOOL REPORT’S – June 2013
GLENWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
As another school year comes to a close, we have time to reflect, to celebrate, to
recognize, and to say goodbye. We celebrated with all 76, 5th graders in a recognition
ceremony. During the 2012-2013 school year, our counselor, teachers, and specialists
did an outstanding job in developing meaningful learning activities and providing support
to our students, which has allowed them the opportunities to develop into young learners.
In addition, we have wonderful support staff that includes our instructional assistants,
technology assistant, and custodians that make sure our school runs smoothly from the
start of the year to the very end. Finally, our secretarial staff’s contributions cannot go
unrecognized. They are the best at what they do and if it were not for them so much
would not get done. All of these special individuals make Glenwood a better place. Thank
you!
We held our final Pride Assembly. All students in grades K-2 and 3-5 were recognized for
student performance and citizenship. The assembly provided a time to build community
and recognize student efforts.
Poetry Alive!
Poetry Alive! once again brought their high-energy show to Glenwood. In an assembly for
grades three, four, and five, presenters Travis and Indira enthusiastically brought poems
to life. Student volunteers helped out with “Squishy, Squashy and Dumbkin,”
“Jabberwocky,” and “Attack of the Ant Zombies.” Music teacher Kathryn Hong did a guest
turn as “the creature” in “The Creature in the Classroom” by Jack Prelutsky. The students
and staff of Glenwood thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon of seeing poetry come alive!
Delaware County Librarians’ Book Review
Glenwood library technician Kathy Cook participated in the second session of the 201213 Delaware County Book Review Program at Marple Newtown High School. Publishers
provide copies of brand new titles, and librarians may keep those books they review.
Mrs. Cook obtained some recently-published titles for the Glenwood library, including
non-fiction, novels, and picture books valued at over $70.00.

Summer Reading at Glenwood
In the summer, in addition to picking up a baseball glove or a beach towel, we’d all like
our children to pick up a good book. To support summer reading, each Glenwood student
in grades K-4 receives a grade-level list of suggested summer reading titles, a reading
record form, and a bookmark. As students turn in their completed reading records to Mrs.
Cook next September, they will receive a small prize. The reading records are used to
compile “Top Ten” lists of children’s favorites by grade level, posted on the bulletin board
outside the library, and a special award is given to the student in each grade who reads
the most books over the summer. Also included in this packet is information on Barnes &
Noble’s “Imagination Destination” summer reading program (read eight books and get
one free!) Mrs. Cook has been working with fifth-grade students to familiarize them with
Springton Lake’s required summer reading program for incoming sixth graders,
“Connecting with Kindness.” All students are to read the books Wonder and Al Capone
Does My Shirts. Students in ELA/AGP need to read a third book of their choice. Fifth
graders were excited by these titles, and immediately started checking out Glenwood’s
copies of these books! Students received a packet of information from the middle school;
it is also posted on Springton Lake’s home page. Jason Fialkovich, Middletown Free
Library’s youth services librarian, visited Glenwood to make presentations about the
public library’s summer reading club, “Dig Into Reading,” and the many events they have
scheduled during the summer months
Physical Education
Glenwood students enjoyed seasonal games such as Wiffleball and Ultimate Frisbee. In
addition, each class explored the various stations of our “Summer Fun” circuit. In the
circuit, students simulated “swimming” on the scooters, played beach games such as
volleyball and Can Jam (a Frisbee tossing game) and practiced their putting skills for
miniature golf. They were also introduced to the game of badminton and attempted a
cooperative challenge that involved catching fish in a net while rescuing an endangered
turtle. Needless to say, an active imagination is a prerequisite for one of our themed
circuits.
First Grade
First grade completed their Organisms science unit. The first graders learned about
different types of plants and animals that live on land and in water. They learned what
organisms need to live. The students made terrariums and aquariums for living organisms
to thrive in. Different types of plants and animals will be living in the habitats, such as pill
bugs, beetles, wood land plants, water plants, guppies and snails. First grade also tied
up our unit on non-fiction books with a trip to the Philadelphia Zoo. We were able to
observe many of the animals we learned about during our book club groups.
Second Grade
Second grade observed the metamorphosis of the Painted Lady Butterfly. The students
took a field trip to the Academy of Natural Science to extend their learning of life cycles.
They participated in a 45 minute lesson entitled “Bugs to Butterflies” and toured a live
butterfly habitat.

Third Grade
Third grade celebrated the final writing unit, Information Writing, with a gathering of all
four classes. Students, along with their writing partners, joined together in small groups to
share the books they wrote about an area of their own expertise. Included in their
published “All About” books were specific “How-To” sections, diagrams, and captions that
further explained some tricky topics. Students also celebrated a year of writing
accomplishments, sharing thoughts about the growth they experienced as authors
throughout the school year.
Fourth Grade
Fourth grade learned about Pennsylvania and the Founding Fathers as a precursor for
our trip to Historic Philadelphia. We visited Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Christ
Church Burial Ground, and other places of interest. The culmination of our trip was
viewing a performance of “Freedom Rising” at the National Constitution Center. The
students left Philadelphia with a greater knowledge of how this country was created and
the rights and freedoms we have because of it.
Fifth Grade
The year ended with a social studies unit on Colonial America. Students learned about
the reasons the colonies decided to declare independence from the British Empire. First,
they explored events like the Boston Masacre and concepts like taxation without
representation. Then, they learned that people at the time had varying opinions on
whether the colonies should declare independence or not. They played a choose-yourown adventure type of game on the internet where they could make decisions as if they
lived in colonial times to see if they would have been a loyalist or a patriot. Next, they
learned about the Declaration of Independence.
INDIAN LANE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Kindergarten
Kindergarten students at Indian Lane celebrated the end of the year by participating in
field day! They jumped, pulled, dunked, and slid! Thanks Mr. Frank for planning such a
special day! Students also created a Kindergarten ABC book of memories; from "A"Alphabet to "Z"-Zipping their jackets, they had a great year! Off to first grade!
First Grade
As we are wrapping up the school year we ask “Where did the time go?” How rewarding
it is to see the tremendous growth of the children. Our First Graders at Indian Lane
proudly presented their zoo animal power point to classmates and parents. Using
strategies learned from our nonfiction Reader’s Workshop Unit, students delved into
books, locating information for key topics: habitat, care of young, predators, description,
classification, food, and fun facts. Students eagerly learned new technology skills to
create their slideshow, using a variety of techniques for their project. This activity was
coordinated with our trip to the Philadelphia Zoo. The teachers feel that the trip was
enhanced by the research that the children did.

Second Grade
During the past few weeks the children had Dibels, MAPS and reading assessments. In
Word Study, we worked with the ending –dge. This ending makes the /j/ sound and
comes after a short vowel in words such as judge, badger and ledge. We have also been
working with digraphs. For example, the diagraph oo makes two different sounds as
illustrated in the words book and mood. In Reading, we returned to inference making, but
focused on making inferences about characters and how they may change. In Writing
Workshop, we are working so hard to get our nonfiction books published now that the
reading and researching is complete. We are also learning all about poetry, including
figurative language along with onomatopoeia and alliteration. In Math, we are now on
measurement. We have explored inches, centimeters, yards and meters. In Social
Studies, we have returned to our last group of Native Americans, those from the Pacific
Northwest and far North. By the end of the year, the children will be bringing home a
wonderful book filled with all of their Native American information and projects. Of course,
we still have the powwow to look forward to as well!
Third Grade
Can you believe it? The end of the year is here. It is so hard to believe that our time with
our third graders is coming to an end. What a year this has been! We had a fabulous
time together, experiencing and learning many new things. I am so proud of all our third
grade students and the many things they have accomplished this year. We know that
each student will be successful next year if they continue to build on what they have
learned this year. In order for students to keep up the progress they have made
throughout the school year, we are encouraging students to keep a log of their reading
and turn the log in to their fourth grade teacher in September.
Fourth Grade
The Fourth Grade took their annual trip to Harrisburg visiting the state capitol building and
the state museum. During our tour of the state capitol, we had the opportunity to have
photos taken with State Senator Dominic Pileggi and State Representative Thomas
Killion. Some seventy students and sixty chaperones then headed to the state museum
to make some connections with topics we have studied this year. It was then on to
Hershey, PA where we indulged in some chocolate and toured the town that Milton
Hershey built. Finally, we stopped in Lancaster and had an enjoyable meal, family style.
Fifth Grade
Fifth graders at Indian lane celebrated life in colonial Philadelphia with their annual
Colonial Day activities. In the morning they were entertained and entranced by a visit from
the past as Revolutionary War re-enacter Ned Hector showed up at the school. Ned,
played by actor and historian Noah Lewis, was an African-American teamster who lived
from 1743 to 1834. His wagon and horses played an important role in the Battle of
Brandywine. In the afternoon the students, dressed in colonial costumes of their own
creation, shared food and stories of "their lives" as fictional children living during the
period when Philadelphia was the capital of the new United States.

Square. The students were given a tour of the facilities and had many great questions,
observations, and interactions with the staff at SAP.
Student Council
Indian Lane Student Council, comprised of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders elected by their
peers, has worked hard to give back to the surrounding communities this year. The
students met before school to plan and organize fundraisers that include Ice Skate Night
at SkateWorks, Student vs. Teacher Floor Hockey game, pretzel sales, and Spirit
Weeks. The fundraisers raised over $700 for the Warrior Foundation, helping wounded
soldiers regain independence in their lives, and over $250 the Delaware County SPCA.
Student Council officers are Kevin Mills, President; Ryan Salladino, Vice President;
Kenna Kaut, Secretary/Treasurer.
MEDIA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Grade 5 Recognition
Media Elementary School held its Fifth Grade Recognition Ceremony on Wednesday,
June 12. The day began with a festive breakfast held at The Media Community Center.
Parents decorated using the theme, “Our Great Adventure”. The students watched a
parent created video that chronicled their elementary career and highlighted their fifth
grade year. They then went to The Media Theater for the actual Recognition Ceremony.
Mr. Wigo gave welcoming remarks and this year’s guest speaker was retiring teacher,
Mrs. Claire McGeehan. The ceremony gave us an opportunity to recognize and honor our
four retiring staff members (Mrs. Shapero, Mrs. McGeehan, Mrs. Maxwell, and Mrs.
Mayer) who are also experiencing their last few days at Media Elementary. Awards were
announced, students sang, and parents applauded. The final “event” was the most
exciting. We returned to the “real” Media School for a brief dessert reception provided by
the fourth grade parents. The building looked beautiful and it was great to be back home.
Grade 5 Trip To Washington, D.C.
Our 56 fifth graders, teachers, and chaperones traveled to Washington, D.C. for a day at
The Smithsonian. Our focus was on The Museum of Natural History and The Museum of
American History, but we actually had time to visit The Air and Space Museum as well. It
was a beautiful day.
People Poll
Our good friend and local reporter, Bette Auberger, visited us for a Daily Times “People
Poll.” First and second grade students were asked questions about what they were
planning to do for their dads for Father’s Day.
Movie Night and Fair Trade
The PTG sponsored a movie night (“Rise of the Guardians”) on Barrall Field. It was also
the kick-off for our efforts to become a fair trade certified school. Fair trade products
(coffee and chocolate) were for sale and everyone snacked on fair trade bananas dipped
in fair trade chocolate. We have a great committee that will be working on fair trade
certification.

First Grade News
First graders had several opportunities within the literacy block to participate in Readers’
Theater and short plays. This research based reading activity engaged students in the
most popular form of repeated guided reading. Research demonstrates that Readers’
Theater provides readers with a legitimate reason to reread text and to practice fluency.
Readers’ Theater also promotes cooperative interaction with peers and makes the
reading task appealing. Additionally, the acting out of story dialogue compels readers to
work more closely with the text to improve meaning. In addition to studying theater this
past month, students had the opportunity to see several live productions. First graders
also had the opportunity to be immersed in a few weeks of science seminar. During
several weeks in May and June, students rotated daily from classroom to classroom
where first grade teachers co-taught and enriched the science curriculum. Students
learned about what a scientist is and does, the scientific method, organisms, and
balancing and weighing. During this science rotation, students created freshwater
aquariums as well as woodland terrariums. Science was all the buzz in first grade during
their first ever scientific seminar.
Second Grade
Life is abounding in the second grade classrooms as the children have been studying the
life cycle of butterflies. The larva arrived and was given lots of love and care, the chrysalis
formed within eight days. We watched and waited patiently. Then the emergence began
to take place and suddenly there were butterflies everywhere! Now, all the butterflies
have been released into their natural environments, many making their way through the
raindrops. Tyler Arboretum is such a wonderful place to visit. The second grade students
have experienced three great educational trips to the arboretum with the final one
centering on the life of the Lenape tribe. The small group lessons centered on tribal
games played by Lenape children, the wigwam, how the dogwood and other trees were
used for medicinal purposes, and how animals were used as valuable natural resources.
Before leaving the students were able to thank the mother earth by sprinkling tobacco,
carried in small pouches, on the base of the dogwood tree and other plants. It was
another great experience for our students. We have now completed our Seed to Snack
lessons. For our last experience, the students sampled a variety of ripe berries. They
tasted individual samples of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. At the end of the
lesson, they were treated to a fruit smoothie. It was refreshing and delicious! Participating
in Seed to Snack has given students the opportunity to learn about fruits and vegetables
that are locally grown at Hillside Farm and are sold at the Media Farmers’ Market. It has
further allowed them to sample a variety of fresh foods that they might not have
experienced before. We are so appreciative to the educators from Hillside Farm who
came to share their knowledge with us each month. As a special end of year surprise, we
were invited to visit Hillside Farm (on the Elwyn Campus). It was a wonderful visit.
Third Grade
Third grade students have been studying the effects of water on the land. Part of the unit
looked at the water cycle, erosion, weathering, and how to save shifting lands. In class,
students made models of stream tables and conducted experiments using water on the
land. Students took a walk to a nearby stream and followed the path to a tributary. They
observed man-made and natural ways to prevent erosion and pollution. Following that

that related to all the science units they learned about this year.
Grade 4
Grade 4 traveled to Harrisburg where they visited the Capitol and The Pennsylvania State
Museum. They had a tour from Representative Killion who treated them to cake and
lemonade.
Field Day
Physical education teacher Carol Shapero planned her last Field Day before retirement
and it was a great one. The day is divided by age groups so that the fifth graders can help
with the younger children. Tug(s) of War are the grand finale for each part of the day.
Data Conferences
Final data conferences were held in June. The focus is on the students who need
additional support.
Chinese Acrobats
We typically celebrate our success at reaching independent reading goals with a very
special assembly. This year we engaged a Chinese Acrobatic troupe to perform for us.
They were absolutely amazing. In addition to dazzling us with their physical skills, they
taught us a lot about Chinese culture and language.
Clap Out
We have a tradition at Media School called a “clap out.” Grade 5 makes a victorious exit
while parents and the rest of the school line up to greet them. It is their final “big moment”
before moving on to middle school.
Retiring Staff
It was a bittersweet moment as we said good-bye to four of our wonderful staff members:
Claire McGeehan, Carol Shapero, Marta Mayer, and Jana Maxwell. Their combined
service to RTM represents well over 100 years of dedication to children.
Return to Media
Work on Media School is complete and we are going home!!
ROSE TREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Kindergarten
The Kindergarten classes invited their families to attend an “End of the Year Celebration.”
To begin, families participated in the Responsive Classroom Morning Meeting. Students
shared writing pieces and performed a Readers Theater. Families enjoyed games hosted
by the homeroom parents, special presentations, and refreshments. It was fun for
parents and students to see the progress they have made as readers and writers
throughout the school year.

First Grade
June was lots of fun in first grade. We presented our Reader's Theater to our parents
and had lots of great feedback. We are working on our oral reading fluency and repeated
practice helps us get smoother and quicker! We also went to the Elmwood Park Zoo and
had a great lesson on animal adaptations. It was a great review of all that we learned
earlier in our science unit on animal classification.
Second Grade
Second graders at Rose Tree completed research on Native Americans. This research
integrated the history of our country's first inhabitants with geography skills (examining a
map of the regions of the U.S.), reading (nonfiction and legends), writing (informational),
research (conducting and presenting) and technology (using the Internet for guided
research and participating in a video conference with the Center for Puppetry Arts in
Atlanta). The students experienced a field trip to the Tyler Arboretum where they learned
specifically about the Lenni Lenape, a tribe native to our area. They also created kachina
dolls, dreamcatchers, deerskin writings and wampum necklaces.
Fourth Grade
Fourth graders at Rose Tree have had a busy month. In culmination to our study of
Pennsylvania students visited Pennsbury Manor, the home of William Penn. While touring
the grounds and numerous buildings students learned about the lifestyle of Quakers and
participated in daily activities during colonial times. Those activities included writing with a
feather and ink, and gathering water from the well. In addition, students participated in a
state fair. Students researched their state and then shared the information with others via
a speech at a state fair. A map, postcard and scrapbook were created and displayed.
Parents of Fourth graders and students in third and fifth grade attended the event. Many
students wore costumes and brought food to share with the participants. Participants had
the opportunity to ask questions of the fourth graders about their state.
SPRINGTON LAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL
Art
Ms. Sycz’s grade eight students have been introduced to two-point linear perspective and
are now using it in a drawing in which one point linear perspective is being used as well.
Grade seven students have been exploring how to create space on a flat surface that
includes one-point linear perspective. Grade six students have finished painting their
sculptures. Students are experimenting with line and contrast in a drawing.
How the year has flown by! Mrs. Prior’s students have created so many wonderful works
of art. The eighth graders finished painting their clay sculptures and are so proud of
them. Eighth graders also reflected on their middle school art accomplishments. Students
called to mind the papier mache suns that they made in sixth grade or the clay fish from
seventh grade in Mrs. Going’s clay. Others enjoyed drawing and painting birds in Ms.
Sycz’s class. Some chose to write about the illuminated manuscript page, the perspective
drawing of the school, or the clay sculpture that they made this year. Also, the students
shared what art classes that they will take in high school and ways that they will use art in
the future. Seventh grade students chose themes to draw geometric line drawings, which

focused on positive and negative space and contrast. Sixth grade students finished
glazing their buildings and wrote songs or poems or drew illustrations using the clay
vocabulary. Students are now dabbling in painting while learning about color theory in
their last project of the year.
Mrs. Going’s Eighth Graders completed their ceramic unit with an outstanding display of
three dimensional figures from Snow Boarders in full snow gear to a cow, a monkey and a
cat in Ballet Tutu's! Students finish their Renaissance Ceramic unit by continuing to
increase their knowledge on the subject of Michelangelo's "Pieta", reading an article and
working on an intensive writing assignment using higher order thinking skills to complete
the assignment.
Seventh Grades have completed a Lettering Linear One Point
Perspective/ Color Value and Shadow unit using their amazing one point Linear
Perspective skills and colored pencil blending talents. They have produced travel posters
worthy of Travel Company advertisements! Sixth Grades have completed a Paper
Mache Relief mask unit studying the Aztec Tribe of Mexico. They worked on construction
and now understand the meaning of Bas Relief, they studied the history and wrote a
creative story in the first person speaking through the perspective of the sun and they
reviewed their knowledge of color theory in the finished painting. Their last unit ties it all
together with a ceramic Bas Relief sculpture.
Guidance
The counselors have been giving tours to prospective new students. They have also
been testing incoming students for placement for next year. The guidance department
ran eight groups during the school year. They worked with many individual students on
organization, time management, academic counseling and social and personal
situations. Currently, the counselors are making recommendations for placement and
groupings for next year's schedule.
Language Arts
In Mrs. McLeod’s sixth grade classes, students developed film adaptations of the novels
Number the Stars by Lois Lowry and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and the
short story “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury. The students wrote scripts, planned
stage directions, created props and costumes, and used the iPads and IMovie software to
film and edit the productions. It is planned for the final versions of the films to appear on
the district website.
Mrs. Newsome’s sixth grade classes spent the final weeks of language arts working on
Readers Theater productions of Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” Guy
De Maupassant’s “The Necklace,” and the horror classic “The Monkey’s Paw,” by W.W.
Jacobs. In preparation for their performances, students rehearsed to improve fluency,
expression, intonation, and inflection. Students also debated the topics of fate versus
free will and whether Irving’s purpose was to entertain with comedy or a supernatural tale.
Library
The library invited Young Adult author Josh Berk to visit Springton Lake on June 3rd. Berk
writes humorous mystery novels with relatable male protagonists that are engaging to

wrapped up the year by distributing a review for Algebra II in order to prepare students for
high school. Topics are simplifying rational expressions, solving linear equations, and
word problems.
Our Algebra I students finished the year with quadratics. In Chapter 9, the students
solved quadratic equations and graphed quadratic functions, many of which model reallife applications. They evaluated and approximated square roots, simplified radicals, and
solved quadratic equations by graphing. In Chapter 10, our algebra students were
introduced to polynomials—adding, subtracting, and multiplying them, using a variety of
strategies in multiplying polynomials, and eventually working their way to factoring and
solving a quadratic equation.
Eighth graders enrolled in the Connect Math program at Springton Lake Middle
School finished the academic year by preparing the next year. Students with a strong
foundation with pre-algebraic skills have been most likely to succeed with their high
school math courses. The Connect Math program and supplementary work provided this
foundation. Students addressed linear equations, inverse equations, exponential
equations and many other concepts. During the last month of the year, classes revisited
skills that have been identified as important pre-requisites for ninth grade’s Algebra I
course.
The Seventh Grade math classes wrapped up their year by completing cumulative
projects. The projects entailed researching the seventh grade math standards related to
one of the topics that were learned during the year and then completing a project with a
foldable graphic organizer. Students really enjoyed teaching their concept to the class
and showcasing what they learned this year!
The Seventh Grade accelerated math classes wrapped up their year by reviewing
quadratic relationships and graphs, as well as preparing for their final exam. Students did
a great job learning and utilizing the recommended study strategies. We also explored
new technology such as apps on the iPad and Google Documents for class projects!
Throughout the past several weeks, sixth grade math has been focusing on Covering and
Surrounding within the Connected Math Program. This unit focuses on understanding
and developing strategies for finding area and perimeter of rectangular and nonrectangular shapes. Students have discovered relationships between perimeter and area
including that each can vary while the other stays fixed. The students had the opportunity
to creatively design a floor plan for a bumper car ride in Investigation 1. They used 1meter square floor tiles (area) and 1-meter long rail sections (perimeter) in their design.
Throughout investigations 2 through 5, students experienced measuring area and
perimeter of parallelograms, triangles and circles. Through the activities presented in this
unit, the students have developed a profound understanding of how to calculate area and
perimeter.

Music
The Springton Lake music department ended a terrific concert season with six superior
trophies at the High Note Festivals on May 17th. Superior is the highest rating awarded
at the festival and was given to the Springton Lake eighth grade band, jazz band,
orchestra, honor strings, eighth grade chorus and select choir.
Physical Education
As the school year has come to a close, the physical education classes continued to be
busy as units that had to be shifted to the spring due to the construction, were condensed
but experienced by all. Students experienced roller blading and mountain biking, as they
worked on safety, balance and movement. Classes also participated in various net game
games such as tennis, pickle ball and badminton.
Sixth grade classes continued to have lessons in the pool. Each class rotated through
the pool and has progressively focused on stroke work, survival skills in the water as well
as learned advanced strokes such as the butterfly. The students have been working in
the water in accordance with the American Red Cross guidelines and each class has
completed nine lessons in the water since January.
For fitness testing, over eighty percent of the students demonstrated improvement in two
or more of the fitness tests from the fall. The students were able to demonstrate
improvement from a combination of the physical activity experiences they had in school
during the year.
By the end of the year the department will say good-bye to Mr. Steve Adams who has
been a corner stone of the physical education and afterschool athletics departments. His
contributions to all of the students he has taught, coached and oversaw while in charge of
the after school sports program as the athletic director will be missed. He has made a
major impact on the lives of many students in and outside of the classroom and he will be
missed.
Science
Sixth grade students will investigate the impact humans have on the environment. They
will read about various waste disposal methods, including recycling. Students will reflect
on their own impact on the environment by calculating their ecological footprint. They will
also determine what actions they can take to lessen their impact.
The seventh grade science classes culminate their investigation of forces and energy
outside the class with Physics Day at Hershey Park. The students collect data such as
time, acceleration, and gravity changes experienced while riding amusement park
attractions. The year closes by studying gravitational forces here on Earth and throughout
the universe.
This month in eighth grade science classes we are investigating weather and climate.
Included in our studies are the topics of The Atmosphere, Weather Factors, and Weather
Patterns! As luck would have it, we have had very interesting weather across the states
this spring! Our pupils are learning to predict future weather, and how best to prepare for
stormy weather. We hope not to directly experience tornados above F1 damage on the
Fujita scale!

Social Studies
The sixth grade students have finished an experiential study of communism and the Cold
War. The students have learned about the lasting effects of the Cold War and Vladimir
Putin’s current stronghold on political power in Russia. Many classes have also
completed a Heroes Project for heroes from around the world. The students wrote a script
of an interview with their hero and presented the interview to the class.
The seventh grade students have finished their study of the Civil War and the
Reconstruction era. Many classes have focused on immigration and its post war effects
on the industrial age.
The eighth grade students have learned about the Renaissance and the Middle Ages to
conclude the year. All students took a final exam that covered their cumulative learning
for the second semester.
Special Education
Teachers of learning support math and language arts classes are administering the
GRADE and MLI tests to students this month. We are hopeful that students will show
progress as compared to the test results from the fall. Classroom teachers feel that both
of these assessments provide useful information for IEP teams as they plan individualized
instruction for each student. A number of recent activities have aided in both fifth to six
and eighth to ninth grade transition. All incoming sixth graders have visited Springton
Lake. Mrs. Hemenway and Mrs. Arias have also visited several elementary buildings and
attended IEP meetings for incoming sixth graders. The entire eighth grade has visited
Penncrest for an orientation, and Mrs. Debessay and Mrs. Hemenway have taken their
students to Penncrest for small-group tours and orientations.
The Extended School Year program (ESY) is all prepared and teachers, instructional
assistants, and tutors are in place. Parents, students, and staff will receive detailed
information about the ESY program before the end of the school year.
June has been a busy month! The students in Mrs. Arias’ class have been working hard
to finish their assignments before the end of the fourth marking period. They have been
busy completing anchor assignments for science and social studies. MAP testing has
come to an end. The emotional support students are wrapping up their lessons in the
Second Step curriculum for both sixth and seventh grades. A variety of important topics
were covered including Empathy and Communication, Bullying prevention, Emotion
Management, and Problem Solving. The students are looking forward to their summer
vacation where they can continue to implement the new skills they acquired this year!
World Language
This month the participants in the National Spanish Exam attended a pizza party thrown

kindergarten student who worked with us in the morning before going to school. Students
helped reinforce the lessons taught in the kindergarten classroom. Child Development II
students worked throughout the district in elementary school classrooms. These students
assisted the teacher, helped with small group instruction, and monitored student

ROSE TREE MEDIA
SCHOOL DISTRICT
SECTION:
OPERATIONS
TITLE:
RESPONSIBLE
USE OF NETWORK
RESOURCES
ADOPTED: February 28, 2002
REVISED:
815. RESPONSIBLE USE OF NETWORK RESOURCES
1. Purpose
In a free and democratic society, access to information is a fundamental right of
citizenship. Digital literacy is essential for student success. Appropriate
technology tools and network resources are made available to students and staff
to increase engagement through fostering creativity, enhancing productivity,
facilitating research and promoting communication and collaboration with
others in an educational setting.
The Board of School Directors of the Rose Tree Media School District (Board)
supports the use of the Internet, information technology, district and personally
owned devices, and other network facilities in the district’s instructional
programs in order to facilitate learning and teaching through interpersonal
communications, access to information, research and collaboration. Use of the
School District’s information technology tools and network facilities shall be
consistent with and in furtherance of the curriculum adopted by the School
District as well as the varied instructional needs, learning styles, abilities, and
developmental levels of students.
The changing educational environment and level of technology integration may
require that students access web-based resources while using School District or
personally owned equipment. The use of technology tools, websites, and
resources, for the purpose of completing curricular objectives, is a privilege, not
a right. Any web-based, personally owned user accounts created by School
District personnel or by the end-user for the purpose of completing activities
associated with course curricula or other school related functions are subject to
the guidelines defined by the Responsible Use of RTM Network Resources
Policy, regardless of where the access to that resource has taken place.
This policy applies to students, staff, and others using School District technology.
2. Authority
The electronic information available to students and staff from various sources does
not imply endorsement of the content by the School District, nor does the School
District guarantee the accuracy of information received on the Internet. The School
District shall not be responsible for any information that may be lost, damaged or
Page 1 of 13
815. ACCEPTABLE USE OF INTERNET, COMPUTERS AND NETWORK RESOURCES - Pg. 2
unavailable when using the network or for any information that is retrieved via the
Internet.
The School District shall not be responsible for any unauthorized charges or fees
resulting from access to the Internet or other network resources.
The School District reserves the right to monitor and log network use and to monitor
fileserver space utilization by School District users, while respecting the privacy
rights of both School District users and outside users; however, all data stored or
transmitted on the RTM network can and may be reviewed, if necessary.
Pol. 218, 233
3. Delegation of
Responsibility
The RTM Board establishes that use of School District or personally owned
information technology tools and network facilities impacting the School
District is a privilege, not a right; inappropriate, unauthorized and illegal use will
result in the cancellation of those privileges. Appropriate disciplinary action may be
taken in accordance with established discipline policies and procedures.
The School District shall make every effort to ensure that students and staff use
this educational resource responsibly. The School District reserves the right to
utilize electronic devices and other media to determine that users are in compliance
with this policy.
Administrators, teachers and staff have a professional responsibility to work together
to help students develop the information literacy skills necessary to discriminate
among information sources, to identify information appropriate to their age and
developmental levels, and to evaluate and use the information to meet their
educational goals. Administrators, teachers, librarians and other staff will collaborate
to ensure that students develop the information literacy skills necessary to identify
when they need information, and to locate, evaluate and effectively use the
information to answer questions, solve problems and make decisions.
Students and staff have the responsibility to learn the rules and guidelines for the use
of technology devices, network facilities, and technology resources and to abide by
them.
The School District will annually educate all students about appropriate online
behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social networking
websites and in chat rooms and cyberbullying awareness and response.
The building administrator or the School District Superintendent, with the Director
of Technology, shall have the authority to determine what constitutes inappropriate
use.
24 P.S. Sec. 4601 et
seq
This policy will be disseminated to all parents, students and staff via the School
District web site, the student handbook, and the staff handbook.

guidelines set forth in the Responsible Use of RTM Network Resources
Policy. Per the Student Handbook, the use of personal technology
devices is permitted on School District-designated and provided
networks only. All use of personal technology devices must be in
accordance with the Student Handbook. All users who connect to
permitted networks agree to the requirements of the Responsible Use of
RTM Network Resources Policy and should consider his/her personal
device subject to the same level of monitoring and access as any School
District-owned technology device. The School District reserves the right
to monitor Internet and network use on School District guest networks.
Employee User Specific Guidelines
1. School District assigned laptops and related equipment remain the
property of the School District and employees shall abide by the School
District’s Responsible Use of RTM Network Resources Policy, regardless
of where such use takes place. Users have no expectation of privacy
related to the assigned equipment. All data and content stored on district
owned devices shall be the property of the School District.
Page 9 of 13
815. ACCEPTABLE USE OF INTERNET, COMPUTERS AND NETWORK RESOURCES - Pg. 10
2. Use of the filter override for the express purpose of accessing sites that
are prohibited by this policy is prohibited.
3. In order to maintain appropriate student-employee boundaries, current
students who are not relatives, should not be allowed to post or become
members of any employee’s social networking site, including but not
limited to Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc. Employees are strongly
advised against interacting or communicating with students on such sites
for non-instructional purposes. Further, personal social networking sites
are in the public domain and thereby must comply with the applicable
law and code of professional practice and conduct for educators, as
established by the PA State Department of Education.
Safety and Security
To the greatest extent possible, users of the School District’s network will be
protected from harassment and unwanted or unsolicited communication while using
School District resources. To protect the integrity of network facilities and the
safety of users, the following guidelines shall be followed:
1. Security of network facilities is protected through the use of passwords.
Users shall not reveal their passwords to another individual or use any
other user’s password. If a user suspects someone else has his/her
password, s/he shall change it immediately and notify the district. Failure
to adequately protect or update passwords could result in unauthorized access
to personal or district files.
2. Employees and students shall not reveal their passwords to another
individual.
3. Users are not to use a computer that has been logged in under another
student's or employee's name.
4. Any user identified as a security risk or having a history of problems with
other computer systems may be denied access to the network.
5. Network users shall not reveal personal information to other users on the
network, including through chat rooms, email, Internet, etc. that could
identify themselves or other users, or allow a person to locate a user.
6. Any network user who receives threatening or unwelcome
communications shall immediately report them to a teacher or
administrator.
7. Users shall report to a supervising teacher or administrator Internet
Page 10 of 13
815. ACCEPTABLE USE OF INTERNET, COMPUTERS AND NETWORK RESOURCES - Pg. 11
contacts which attempt to arrange a face-to-face meeting with any user.
8. Users shall not transfer or download confidential data or data that
contains sensitive personally identifiable information via flash drives,
thumb drives, or such other portable storage devices.
School District Website
The School District shall establish and maintain a website and shall develop and
modify its web pages to present information about the School District under the
direction of the Superintendent or designee. All users publishing content on the
district website shall comply with this and other applicable district policies.
Users shall not copy or download information from the School District website
and disseminate such information on unauthorized web pages without
authorization from the building principal.
Consequences For Inappropriate Use
The network user shall be responsible for payment for damages to the equipment,
systems, and software resulting from deliberate or willful acts.
Illegal use of the network, intentional deletion or damage to files of data belonging
to others, copyright violations or theft of services will be reported to the appropriate
legal authorities for possible prosecution.
General rules for behavior and communications apply when using the Internet, in
addition to the stipulations of this policy. Loss of access and other disciplinary
actions according to the Student Discipline Code and payment for cost of repair
or replacement caused by vandalism shall be consequences for inappropriate use.
Vandalism will result in cancellation of access privileges. Vandalism is defined as
any malicious attempt to harm or destroy data of another user, Internet or other
networks. This includes, but is not limited to, the uploading or creation of computer
viruses.
The School District will report any illegal uses of its information technology or
network resources to the appropriate legal authorities, as some violations may
be subject to prosecution under Pennsylvania and/or Federal criminal statutes
or liability under civil statutes. Offenders may be subject to criminal
prosecution for activities such as, but not limited to, illegal use of the network,
intentional deletion or damage to files of data belonging to others, copyright
violations, theft of services, accessing, altering, or damaging any computer

system, network, software or database, with an intent to interrupt the normal
functioning of an organization, disclosing a password to a computer system,
network, intentional and unauthorized access to a computer, interference with
the operation of a computer or network, or alteration of computer software.
School District technology tools and personally owned electronic devices may be
confiscated and subject to search consistent with applicable law and policy and
in consultation with the School District Solicitor.

AGREEMENT
1. Agreement. This Comcast Business Class Service Order Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which Comcast Cable Communications Management, LLC
and its operating affiliates (“Comcast”) will provide the Services to Customer. This Comcast Business Class Service Order Agreement consists of this document (“SOA”), the
standard Comcast Business Class Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”), and any jointly executed amendments (“Amendments”), collectively referred to as the
“Agreement”. In the event of inconsistency among these documents, precedence will be as follows: (1) Amendments, (2) Terms and Conditions, and (3) this SOA. This
agreement shall commence and become a legally binding agreement upon Customer’s execution of the SOA. The agreement shall terminate as set forth in the Terms and
Conditions (http://www.comcast.com/business/legal). All capitalized terms not defined in this SOA shall reflect the definitions given to them in the Terms and Conditions.
Use of the Services is also subject to the then current High-Speed Internet for Business Acceptable Use Policy located at http://work.comcast.net/legal/aup.asp (or any
successor URL), and the then current High-Speed Internet for Business Privacy Policy located at http://work.comcast.net/legal/privacy.asp (or any successor URL), both of
which Comcast may update from time to time.
2. Each Comcast Business Class Service (“Service”) carries a 30 day money back guarantee. If within the first thirty days following Service activation Customer is not
completely satisfied, Customer may cancel Service and Comcast will issue a refund for Service charges actually paid by Customer, custom installation, voice usage charges
and optional service fees excluded. In order to be eligible for the refund, Customer must cancel Service within thirty days of activation and return any Comcast-provided
equipment in good working order. In no event shall the refund exceed $500.00.
3. IF CUSTOMER IS SUBSCRIBING TO COMCAST’S BUSINESS CLASS VOICE SERVICE, I ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE E911
NOTICE :
E911 NOTICE
Comcast business class voice service (“Voice”) may have the E911 limitations specified below:

In order for 911 calls to be properly directed to emergency services using Voice, Comcast must have the correct service address for the Voice Customer. If Voice is
moved to a different location without Comcast’s approval, 911 calls may be directed to the wrong emergency authority, may transmit the wrong address, and/or Voice
(including 911) may fail altogether.

Voice uses electrical power in the Customer’s premises. If there is an electrical power outage, 911 calling may be interrupted if the battery back-up in the associated
multimedia terminal adapter is not installed, fails, or is exhausted after several hours.

Voice calls, including calls to 911, may not be completed if there is a problem with network facilities, including network congestion, network/equipment/power failure,
or another technical problem.
Comcast will need several business days to update a Customer service address in the E911 system. All change requests and questions should be directed to 1-800COMCAST. USE OF VOICE AFTER DELIVERY OF THIS DOCUMENT CONSTITUES CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE E911 NOTICE ABOVE.
4. To Complete a Voice order, Customer must execute a Comcast Letter or Authorization (“LOA”) and submit it to Comcast, or Comcast’s third party order entry integrator,
as directed by Comcast.
5. New Telephone numbers are subject to change prior to the install. Customers should not print their new number on stationery or cards until after the install is complete.
6. Modifications: All modifications to the Agreement, if any, must be captured in a written Amendment, executed by an authorized Comcast Senior Vice President and the
customer. All other attempts to modify the Agreement shall be void and non-binding on Comcast. Customer by signing below, agrees and accepts the terms and conditions
of this agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the mutual covenants and obligations
in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1.
Services and Statements of Work. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, JAMF
shall perform the consulting services ("Services") described in one or more Statements of Work executed by
the Parties (each, a “SOW”), which will be governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the specific provisions
set forth in a SOW, the provisions of this Agreement shall control unless specifically provided otherwise in
the SOW. All Software shall be deemed to have been accepted Customer forty-eight (48) hours after
delivery by JAMF unless Customer provides written notice to JAMF within such period that identifies the
specific non-conformity of the Software.
2.
Payment Terms. Customer shall pay JAMF the amount(s) specified on the SOW, at the time
specified on the SOW (the “Fees”). If the time for payment is not specified in the SOW, payment in full shall
be due at the time the SOW is signed. Unless provided otherwise in the SOW, Customer shall be
responsible for paying all (i) sales, use, excise, value-added, or other tax or governmental charges imposed
on the Services, (ii) freight, insurance and installation charges, and (iii) import or export duties or like
charges. Customer shall pay JAMF for all of JAMF’s costs and expenses, including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection with collection or pursuit of any monies owed to JAMF by
Customer under this Agreement.
3.
Confidentiality. JAMF recognizes that it may be exposed to Customer’s (or its customers’) technical
or business information of a proprietary nature whether patentable, copyrightable or otherwise, that at the
time of disclosure is designated or otherwise clearly identified as “confidential” or “proprietary” by Customer
(“Confidential Information”); provided, however, Confidential Information shall not include information that,
through no breach of this Agreement: (i) is known publically, (ii) becomes available to the public, (iii) is known
to JAMF at the time of disclosure to JAMF, or the Software developed under this Agreement. Except as
required by law or court order, JAMF shall not use or disclose to any person, firm or corporation any

4.
Ownership of Work Product. All documents, designs, data, processes and other tangible or
intangible inventions, scripts, reports, extension attributes, software and works of authorship created or
prepared by JAMF for Customer under each SOW, including software code and documentation related
thereto (collectively, the "Software"), and all intellectual property rights related thereto, shall be and remain
the sole and exclusive property of JAMF. Customer hereby assigns all of its interests in and to the Software
to JAMF. Subject to receipt by JAMF of payment in full for the Services performed under the applicable
1

internal business use and solely in connection with Customer’s use of the JAMF Software licensed to
Customer by JAMF. The foregoing rights do not include the right to commercially distribute, exploit or
sublicense the Software. JAMF reserves all rights in and to the Software not expressly licensed to Customer
hereunder, including the right to license, commercially distribute, convey title to and exploit the Software.
5.
Warranty and Disclaimer. JAMF will offer the following express warranties with respect to the
Software:
5.1. Warranty of Software Performance. JAMF warrants that for a period of 5 (five) business days
following acceptance of the Software by Customer, the Software will be free from material defects in
workmanship and materials, and will conform in all material respects to the specifications provided
in the “Development Plan” contained in the SOW. If material reproducible programming errors are
discovered during the warranty period, JAMF shall, at its option, promptly remedy them at no
additional expense to Customer or refund Customer’s money for the applicable SOW. This
warranty to Customer shall be null and void if Customer is in default under this Agreement or if the
nonconformance is due to:
5.1.1.
Hardware failures due to defects, power problems, environmental problems, or any cause
other than the Software itself;
5.1.2.
Modification or alteration of the Software, operating systems, or hardware targets specified
in the “Development Plan” contained in the SOW; or
5.1.3.
Misuse, errors, or negligence by Customer, its employees, or agents in operating the
Software. JAMF shall not be obligated to cure any defect unless Customer notifies JAMF of
the existence and nature of such defect in writing promptly upon discovery within the warranty
period.
5.2. Warranty Against Disablement. JAMF expressly warrants that no portion of the Software contains
or will contain any protection feature designed to prevent its use. This includes, without limitation,
any computer virus, worm, software lock, drop dead device, Trojan-horse routine, trap door, time
bomb or any other codes or instructions that may be used to access, delete, damage, or disable
Customer’s Software or computer system. JAMF further warrants that it will not impair the operation
of the Software in any way except pursuant to a court order.
5.3. Warranty of Compatibility. JAMF warrants that the Software shall be compatible with Customer’s
specific hardware and software titles and versions as set forth in the “Development Plan” of this
Agreement. No warranty, express, or implied will be made on versions of hardware or software not
mentioned in the “Development Plan” of this agreement.
5.4. JAMF MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS
TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES PERFORMED
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NO
ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY A JAMF SUBCONTRACTOR OR
EMPLOYEE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY.
6.
Limitation of Liability. JAMF’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL BE LIMITED TO AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE FEES THAT CUSTOMER HAS ACTUALLY PAID
TO JAMF UNDER THE APPLICABLE SOW. IN NO EVENT SHALL JAMF BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER
FOR ANY PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INDIRECT DAMAGES, SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES,
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF
DATA, OR INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION (WHETHER IN
CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTORY LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE) AND
2
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER JAMF WAS MADE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES
OR LOSSES.
7.
Term and Termination. This Agreement shall remain in force for a period of one (1) year
commencing on the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”), unless sooner terminated under the provisions of this
Section 7. After the expiration of the Initial term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive
one (1) year periods (each a “Renewal Term”), unless prior written notice is provided by either Party not less
than thirty (30) days prior to the termination of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term. Either Party may
terminate this Agreement and all SOWs hereunder upon ten (10) days written notice. Upon the termination
or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Customer shall pay JAMF for all Services performed
hereunder and, upon receipt of payment in full, the license to use the Software granted to Customer
hereunder shall continue in full force and effect.
8.
Governing Law and Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Minnesota, notwithstanding choice of law principles. The Parties agree that any
action at law or equity arising out of or relating to the terms of this Agreement shall be filed only in the state
or federal courts located in Hennepin County, Minnesota, and the parties hereto hereby consent to and
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of said courts for the purpose of litigating any action.
9.
Assignment and Delegation. JAMF may delegate its duties hereunder to one or more independent
contractors. Additionally, JAMF may assign this Agreement to a purchaser of JAMF or substantially all of its
assets whether through sale, merger or otherwise on the condition that, upon such assignment, the assignee
shall expressly assume JAMF’s obligations hereunder. Customer may freely assign its interests under this
Agreement.
10.
Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for the purpose of reference only and shall not in any
way limit or affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the terms hereof.
11.

Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 2, 3 and 4, shall be entitled to recover from the other Party
all of the prevailing Party’s costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.
12.
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or illegal by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the validity and legality of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby.
13.
Modification or Amendment. No modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective
unless it is in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of both Parties.
14.
Force Majeure. If either Party is prevented, hindered, or delayed in the performance or observance
of any of its obligations or duties hereunder (exclusive of payment obligations) by reason of any
circumstance beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to power outages, Internet interruption,
computer viruses, strikes, work slowdowns, labor unrest, fire, flood, earthquake, natural disasters, elements

of its obligations and duties so affected for as long as such circumstances prevail; provided, however, such
Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance of its obligations and duties to the
extent possible.
15.
Amendment, Waiver. No amendment to or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding upon the
Parties unless made in writing and duly signed by both Parties. Failure by either Party hereto to enforce any
provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision or its right thereafter to
enforce such provision or any other provision.
16.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement (and any SOW signed by the Parties) constitutes the entire
agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous
understandings, representations, proposals, and discussions, whether oral or written, between the Parties
concerning such subject matter.
