SCHOOL REPORTS – AUGUST 2005
GLENWOOD
In June, Glenwood said good-bye to seven revered teachers. We are now welcoming several new staff
members, all of whom arrived early to set up rooms and meet with staff members ahead of induction. Many
veteran Glenwood teachers also participated in curriculum and technology workshops held at the school, and
the custodial staff has the building clean and ready. We are looking forward to welcoming parents and students
to our Open House, September 1, 1-3 P.M.
MEDIA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
The elementary remedial summer school (formerly Title 1) offered 19 days of instruction in language arts and
math to 39 students who are entering grades 1-4. Additionally, 9 students from our other elementary schools
participated in the BRIDGE program and 13 special education students received extended school year services.
The blend of programs, which was new this year, was beneficial to all groups. Mrs. Robin Smith, a Media
School teacher, directed the program. Dr. Golder, Dr. Barta and Mrs. Kotch were instrumental in planning the
new elementary model. Special events included “Movie Day” (a simulated movie theatre that gave the students
practice with coin use in a “real world” situation), “Technology Then and Now” (presented by former Media
teacher, John Steczak, who is currently employed as the farmer/educator at The Colonial Plantation) and a
“Sock Hop” (a celebration and awards presentation). Despite the heat that was at times blistering, the summer
school staff and students were enthusiastic, committed, and engaged right up to the last day. Kudos to all
involved.
Several events are planned for new students and their families. We will have an Open House on Thursday,
September 1. Mrs. Kotch has also planned an evening presentation for new families on Tuesday, August 30.
Technology coordinator, Sue Williamson, and PTG President, Susan D’Ignazio, will participate in that event.
Kindergarten orientation will include a visit from Mother Goose.
Staff changes were limited this year. We are welcoming a new instrumental band teacher (Andrew Bugosh),
several new instructional assistants and LTS Gemma Deady (grade 4) has become a contracted staff member.
The building looks great. Kudos to the custodians for their hard work and dedication. We are ready for the
2005-2006 school year!
ROSE TREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
The Upper Providence Recreation Program was held at Rose Tree Elementary School from June 20 to July 1.
Ms. Susan Howe coordinated and supervised a wide variety of activities for the children. Over 90 children
attended and enjoyed crafts, snacks and entertainment. Dick Raimer amazed the group with his magic,
unicycling and juggling. Bowen’s Puppets came and performed a show with marionettes. A great time was had
by all.
This summer, district nurses Kathy Johnson, RN (Rose Tree Elementary) and Judy Stingle, RN (Indian Lane
Elementary) were instructors for the Safe Sitter Program. This nationally acclaimed program teachers 11 to 13year old girls and boys information and skills to help them become capable caregivers. The course was taught
as a Summer Program offering at Riddle Memorial Hospital. Many district students participated in this
worthwhile endeavor. Also, both ladies taught an American Heart Association “Heart Saver AED” course as a
district FLEX workshop this summer.
Joann Mrozoski of Rose Tree Elementary attended the Progress Report workshop this summer. She worked
with a team of teachers who revised the elementary progress report, parent handbook and teacher handbook.
Teachers Sharon Bretherick and Erin Scheivert headed up the “Make & Take” workshop at the Chester County
Intermediate Unit this summer. Fifteen fellow teachers from throughout the district attended this one day FLEX
workshop. They created visual aids, and worked on assessments and interactive activities for elementary and
middle school students.
The custodial staff at Rose Tree Elementary worked diligently to clean the schoolhouse in preparation for the
new school year. The building looks terrific!
During June, July, and August Ellen Sosangelis, Principal, participated in the hiring process for elementary
classroom teachers, a guidance counselor, three support staff members to assist with our special education
students, a facilities foreman and a district-wide math coach. This included conducting several rounds of
interviews, contacting references, and observing demonstration lessons.
SPRINGTON LAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL
It was a very busy summer. The administrators held interviews and candidates taught lesson and finally eleven
teachers were hired. Also, three support staff personnel were hired. All students were scheduled and sent
letters about the opening of school and what supplies they will need for the beginning of the school year.
The custodians had their work cut out for them. Since there were so many room changes they were busy with
not only the cleaning of the building but also moving teachers to new rooms. The boiler was replaced, the
driveway was paved, and the front entrance and side walkway was replaced.
The Owleus Bully Prevention Committee met four times over the summer to develop the new lessons for our
seventh and eighth grade classes. All students will meet two times a month for a 30 minute lesson.
Administrators, teachers, and support staff are all involved in the implementation of the lessons each month. As
you know, the Owleus program is a school-based program designed to prevent or reduce bullying in elementary,
middle and junior high schools. The program attempts to restructure existing school environment to reduce
opportunity and rewards for bullying. Our kick off was in February of 2005 and we have seen many positive
changes.
