SCHOOL REPORT’S – August 23, 2012
GLENWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
New Principal
I am indeed honored to be appointed by the Rose Tree Media Board of School Directors
as Principal at Glenwood Elementary School. To be named as the instructional leader of
such an awesome school community is truly exciting! Over the past six weeks, I have
met with almost the entire staff and faculty individually here at Glenwood. I have also had
the opportunity to hold a “Meet the New Principal” for students and parents on
Wednesday, August 1, 2012. I am holding an additional “Meet the New Principal” on
Wednesday, August 15, 2012 at 1:30 pm. I am learning that Glenwood enjoys a rich
history of academic and cultural excellence that is the result of a collegial partnership
between the school staff, faculty, and parents, who provide a diversity of experiences for
the students.
Staffing News
As many of you may be aware, there have been a few changes in teaching assignments
for this coming year. Mrs. Maher will be teaching first grade, Ms. Salera will be teaching
third grade, and Ms. Ciuffetelli will be our Title I Math Support Teacher. Mrs. Omlor will
continue as our Long Term Substitute in fourth grade. In addition, we are pleased to
welcome back Ms. Whiteman to teach A.M. Kindergarten. After a rigorous process that
included screening candidates, interviewing, and evaluating demonstration lessons Ms.
Yepremian has become our permanent ELL teacher and will work both here and at
Media. Ms. Yepremian comes to Glenwood from the Upper Darby School District. She
comes highly recommended from her former school district which said, “She is a
wonderful educator, leader in subject matter, and wonderful with students.”
Facilities
Thanks to our facilities foreman, Greg Bost and the custodial staff which includes Paulette
Goolsby, Charles Johnson, Carl Holland, and Pat Ragni the interior of our building is
looking great. All the classrooms are clean and ready for our students’ safe return. The
exterior of Glenwood looks great as well, thanks to the efforts of Ron Baldino and his
summer crew.

Projects
Our summer projects include new curtains on our stage, a new concrete apron for our
loading dock, and a new paint job in our gymnasium. All projects are progressing nicely
and are scheduled to be finished on time.
INDIAN LANE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Recreation Camp
Indian Lane hosted the Middletown Parks and Recreation Camp this summer for more
than 40 children each week. The campers participated in sporting events, arts and crafts
projects, and free play. They also took a weekly trip to places such as Hidden Hollow
Swim Club, CN Skate Palace, and a bowling alley. Weekly visits by performers also
provided a fun experience for the campers.
Responsive Classroom
Several Indian Lane teachers met this summer to plan for our implementation of
Responsive Classroom principles. We began using the “Morning Meeting” concept last
year and will imbed other parts of the program into our daily routine in order to build upon
our already positive school climate.
Building and Grounds
The maintenance department spent significant time cleaning up the grounds, gardens and
courtyards; replacing mulch that washed away and pulling weeds. Our custodial staff, led
by Foreman Joel Schupp, did an excellent job preparing the inside of the building for the
return of the staff and students. The floors in the entire building were stripped and waxed,
all windows thoroughly washed and numerous boxes of supplies were delivered to the
classrooms. Please stop by and check out our sparkling clean building.
Indian Lane had some work done over the summer. Contractors stripped and painted
several walls in virtually every classroom. We also had some work done on our blacktop
behind the school that serves as a playground, car-rider pick-up lane, and over-flow
parking.
New Student Orientation
More than 40 people will attend our New Student Orientation on August 24. The students
and parents will be greeted by the PTG President, Lisa Huggett, meet our nurse, Amy
Lenton, and our counselor, Jessica Hilden. After a review of policies and procedures, the
participants will receive a tour of the school and enjoy a treat.
We are looking forward to a positive year at Indian Lane!
MEDIA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Moving!
Progress on our move to the former Nativity School is evident. Our custodial and
maintenance staff is working extremely hard to clean and prepare the building for Media
School students. Floors have been waxed, carpets have been installed, rooms have been

cleaned, and most materials have been moved in. The challenge for the technology
department has been great as well. Parents and staff have been kept well informed of the
progress. Media parents are working with Mrs. Kotch on transition plans for our “great
adventure.”
New Staff
We are pleased to welcome new teachers: Erika Yepremian (ESL), Dennis Smyth (AGP),
and Maureen Shields (learning support). They each successfully navigated a rigorous
screening and interview process and we are delighted to add them to our RTM family.
Title 1 Summer School
Title 1 Summer School was held at Glenwood this year due to the construction at Media.
Summer School director, Aaron Goldfarb, submitted the following summary report:
Glenwood Elementary hosted 11 classes and 112 students from July 9 to August 3. There
were eight Title I classrooms with students from Media and Glenwood and three ESY
(Extended School Year) classrooms with students from all four elementary schools
represented. Teachers and students focused on reading, writing, and math skills with the
goals of preventing summer learning loss and preparing students for a confident start to
the 2012-2013 school year. The four-week summer school featured weekly areas of
focus. The first week focused on non-fiction reading, the second week focused on
personal narratives, the third week focused on math concepts including math games and
measurement, and the final week focused on reading fluency and comprehension. The
final week was punctuated by a Reader’s Theater presentation by each class in the
Glenwood library to which families were invited. Highlights of the summer school included
a hands-on exploration of fractions on Fraction Day, an Olympic physical and academic
heptathlon that covered measurement concepts and celebrated the opening of the 2012
Olympics in London, two presentations by the organization Greener Partners that covered
healthy eating and the decomposition of different materials, and the reader’s theater
performances. The weekly areas of focus and special days were designed to excite
students about learning important concepts. These special events were in addition to the
daily curriculum which included math and reading instruction tailored to each individual
student’s needs. As a culminating activity students selected, rehearsed, and performed
reader’s theater plays for an audience of their peers and parents on July August 2nd.
Teachers and students focused on reading fluency, reading comprehension, reading with
expression, and presentation skills. The three performances garnered over 40 guests
each, with well over 100 family members attending in total. I have included a summer
school calendar as well as a gallery of pictures from the summer school. Link to Photo

ROSE TREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Community Interaction:
We will be hosting our annual Open House on Thursday, August 30. Also scheduled for

as always. There have been a few changes in teaching assignments for the 2012-2013
school year. Mrs. McKelvey will be teaching in fourth grade, Mrs. Barnes will teach

Rose Tree Custodial Staff:
Our custodial staff has done an outstanding job of getting the building ready for the school
opening. Painting of the kindergarten-first grade wing began August 6, 2012, and has
really “dressed up” that portion of our building. Rose Tree Elementary is ready for
another great year!
SPRINGTON LAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL
Sixth Grade Transition Camp
Springton Lake hosted new sixth grade students, 110 on Wednesday, August 15th and
119 on Monday, August 20th, during “Transition Camp.” The event included a General
Session, where both new students and parents learned about valuable information about
the sixth grade experience and met key personnel and resources. Following the
overview, parents said good bye to their students for the balance of the morning. Camp
consisted of three interactive workshops led by Administrators and Guidance, each
session aimed at easing anxieties through positive social-emotional activities. Next, an
expert panel of seventh grade students fielded a wide variety of questions posed by new
sixth graders, wondering about what middle school life will be like. Finally, everyone
enjoyed a picnic barbeque and “get to know social” to close out Camp.
New Seventh and Eighth Grade Student Meet & Greet
Springton Lake Administration hosted new seventh and eighth grade students in a dinner
meet and greet orientation on Thursday, August 23. During this interactive workshop,
students had the opportunity to get to know fellow new students, interact with
Administrators, seek answers to questions, obtain an overview of schedules and tour their
school.
Construction
For the proud Springton Lake school community, the construction project is coming to a
close. Although the contractor trailers will not quite be ready to depart by the first day of
school, we have been assured that when students arrive on September 4, only cosmetic
and small projects will remain for completion. We are well on our way to a true 21st
Century Educational Facility for middle school students.
Technology
iPad carts have arrived and will be ready for teaching and learning for the new school
year. Students and teachers alike will be able to enrich teaching and learning
opportunities through state of the art, mobile technology. Tapping into the hundreds of
educationally appropriate apps will allow our school community to be “plugged in” to their
21st Century world.
Communication
In partnership with our PTG and various stakeholders, we will be emphasizing greater
communication between school and home. The main avenues for consistent and timely
communication will include: postings to our SLMS Homepage, weekly E-alerts, School
Messenger voice mails-emails-text messages. Parent-teacher communication will be
enhanced through grade posting, email, and phone contact.

Year. Ms. Mattioni was recognized for her talent, energy, and hard work as a leader in
the field of art education. Ms. Mattioni will be honored at a ceremony during the PAEA
annual conference in October.
Penncrest in the News
This summer we learned our school has been named in both the Washington Post’s High
School Challenge list of the top 1,600 schools in the nation and Newsweek’s Top 1,000
High Schools in America.
Only nine percent of the approximately 22,000 public high schools in the nation made it to
the Washington Post’s list this year. This rating provides a good indication of a high
school’s commitment to preparing students for college. Details about the challenge can
be found at http://apps.washingtonpost.com/local/
To compile the 2012 list of top high schools in America go to website
http://www,thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/05/20/americqa-s-best-high-schools.
Newsweek assessed more than 2,300 schools to produce the final list of the top 1,000.
The rating is based on the following stringent criteria: four-year, on-time graduation rate
(25%); percentage of 2011 graduates accepted to college (25%); number of AP/IB/AICE
tests administered per student (25%); the average SAT and/or ACT score (10%); the
average AP/IB/AICE exam score (10%); and the number of AP/IB/AICE courses offered
per student (5%). This well-deserved recognition is an indicator of the high quality
instruction provided by the PHS instructional staff and the outstanding achievements of
our talented students!
