ANNUAL REPORT

Greetings to the Wissahickon Community:

REACHING HIGHER. ACHIEVING MORE.

WISSAHICKON SCHOOL DISTRICT andWISSAHICKON EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOUNDATION (WEOF)

The Wissahickon Administration, School Board and WEOF Board of Directors are pleased to partner this year to bring you the 2015-2016 Annual Report featuring highlights from the school district and the education foundation. This year was marked by tremendous progress as the school district and our education foundation reached higher to achieve more - in the classroom, on the field, in co-curricular activities and in the community. Our teachers and other staff, coaches, advisors and volunteers demonstrated in countless ways their commitment to providing our students an exceptional learning experience. In turn, our students demonstrated that they are not only learning essential skills in academic subject areas, but becoming responsible, well-rounded individuals - physically, socially and emotionally.

We hope you enjoy reading about the great things happening every day at Wissahickon!

50 Years of Excellence in Education As we reflect on the many accomplishments of the past school year in this

Annual Report, the Wissahickon School District will be kicking off the celebration of another special year - the 50th anniversary of the establishment of our district. In 1966, the district was organized under Pennsylvania Act 299 - Advanced Establishment - when the school districts of the Borough of Ambler and the Townships of Lower Gwynedd and Whitpain became the Wissahickon School District (some individual schools are older such as Blue Bell Elementary which turns 60 this year). In recognition of 50 years of excellence in education and beyond, we will be sharing the history of our schools with the community and highlighting the amazing achievements of our alumni and staff. Check our homepage, calendar, district Facebook and Twitter to stay informed about upcoming events and other anniversary news. We also have a new Alumni Facebook page @Wissahickonalumni. Like our pages and share with your family and friends!

All Pennsylvania schools with an 11th grade received an SPP score for the 2015-2016 year. A school’s SPP score relies heavily on state assessment scores including Keystone/PSSA, but also includes college readiness tests, industry standards-based assessments, graduation, promotion, and attendance rates, as well as evidence of offering rigorous courses to prepare students for college and career. Schools also earn extra points beyond the 100 point scoring system for those students who have earned advanced scores on the state, industry, and Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate exams. WHS scored 98.49 on all academic indicators and an additional 3.3 in extra credit for advanced achievement!

Students Reaching Their Highest Potential On and Off the Field!

An Athletics Task Force comprised of staff, coaches and community members worked together this year to develop an athletics program improvement plan to benefit all students, families and the Wissahickon community. Part of their work was the development of a new athletics mission statement. The highlights on this page show how our student-athletes and coaches embody the values in our mission.

WSD Athletics Program Mission Statement

Adopted December 2015

The Wissahickon Athletics Program, as an integral part of our students’ educational experience, is committed to excellence in

athletics and is designed for students to reach their highest potential on and off the field. By

fostering a sense of spirit and pride within students, staff, alumni and the community, the athletic experience at Wissahickon seeks to

instill in each participant a life-long appreciation for diversity, teamwork, perseverance and

excellence. With the support of highly knowledgeable coaches who are dedicated to the physical and emotional well-being of our student-athletes, the program embraces good sportsmanship, ethics, character and

accountability, and is committed to “Building a Community of Champions” who are prepared

to excel, contribute and lead.

Building a Community of ChampionsWissahickon congratulates the many individual students who qualified for championships and the following teams that received awards:

The Girls Track team ended the season with only one defeat. Girls Tennis were League Champions earning more wins than any other team.

Support of Highly Knowledgeable Dedicated Coaches What is your favorite part of the season? “My favorite part of the season is always the beginning. It’s like putting together a puzzle with moving pieces.

“Every teammate counts.” Boys Cross Country Coach Bill Gallagher who celebrated 50 years of coaching

How do your coaches motivate you to do better?“I like the fact that my coaches keep reminding me that I am a leader and I have to do whatever to keep my team together.” Yondel Dudley, Football

Embracing Good Sportsmanship, Ethics, Character

The Girls Cross Country team won the league fall sportsmanship award for the 4th year in a row!

Reaching Beyond the Classroom: 21st Century Learning

Wissahickon Middle School was selected by Microsoft as a 2015-2016 Microsoft Associate Showcase School for its excellence in transforming its learning environment to deliver more personalized education to students using mobile and cloud technology to better prepare students for success in the workplace. WMS joins an exclusive community of over 400 premier schools from around the world.

“Microsoft Associate Showcase Schools are shining examples of those applying purpose driven innovation in a variety of ways to build connection, motivate students and to create community in and out of school. These schools are truly transforming learning and providing more personalized education to students empowering them to achieve more.”

Anthony Salcito, Vice President, Worldwide Education, Microsoft

Wissahickon School District embraces the concept of teaching and learning 21st century skills by integrating digital and audio visual technologies. All students in grades 6 through 12 are provided a district-issued laptop; they learn in eClassrooms, also called technology enhanced classrooms, equipped with high-speed Internet access, LCD projectors, speakers and interactive whiteboards and all teachers are provided professional development to integrate technology into the curriculum.

This year, students and teachers broke down the walls of their classrooms connecting with other students, businesses and experts from around the globe by using Skype. Students Skyped with classrooms from different states from the USA as well as Canada, Scotland, Greece, Russia, France and New Zealand! They also talked to experts in their fields, including the Minecraft team at Microsoft, Accuweather Meteorologist Heather Waldman and author Margo Sorenson.

WMS developed a space dedicated to innovation, creation, critical thinking and design - the MakerSpace! The MakerSpace builds on the science, math, technology and engineering (STEM) curriculum allowing students to create, innovate and design with a variety of materials including K’Nex, Lego, Snap Circuits, Hot Wheels Speedometry Kits, Sphero robots, Romo robots, Little Bits electronic circuitry, arts & crafts, a MakerBot 3D Printer and old electronic items that students can take apart in the “breakerspace”. Blue Bell Elementary followed the middle school’s lead raising money for a Lego building wall, robots and other MakerSpace activities. Other elementary schools will develop a MakerSpace in the 2016-2017 school year.

Students in every school participated in Hour of Code this year, a one-hour introduction to computer science designed to demystify code and show students that anyone can learn the basics of coding. Through various tutorials, students learned the coding behind some of the most popular games - Minecraft, Star Wars, Frozen, Flappy Bird, Angry Birds - then used coding to develop games on their own.

Students in all schools have the opportunity to participate in the performing arts. Elementary students enjoy singing, dancing and acting for their families at the end of each school year. Productions at the various schools this year included Annie Jr., Cinemagic and a full-scale jazz revue. The WMS Drama Club performed three sold-out shows of The Lion King Jr. and the high school performed a fall production of Midsummer/Jersey and the spring musical, Curtains.

“My son enjoyed every aspect of being a part of the Drama Club. It was such as great experience for him creatively and socially.” Parent of a 6th grader

Choral and band students can explore music through programs including jazz bands, marching band, string ensemble, symphony orchestra, Barber Shop and Barbie Shop, men’s choir, women’s choir, chamber singers, camerata and concert chorus. Wissahickon students share their musical talent with the community through winter and spring concerts as well as many other performances and competitions.

The middle school and high school offer diverse co-curricular clubs and programs ranging from academic, community service and special interest clubs, music, art and theater.

Club highlights this year included:• 49 students in WHS Future Business Leaders of

America qualified for the State Leadership conference • Wissahickon Debate and Speech Team placed third

in the Championship Tournament for the Southeast PA Debate League

• The WHS Robotics Team #341, “Miss Daisy” placed 6th in its division at the World Championships and finished the 2016 season ranked 48th in the World (48 out of 3,200) placing WHS in the top 2% of all robotics teams worldwide. To inspire younger students to join robotics, the team started a new series of workshops called Robot in 30 Minutes which gave elementary students the chance to learn hands on skills and work as a team to build their own full size robot in less than 30 minutes!

At the end of each school year, the community enjoys an exhibit of our students’ best artwork at the Wissahickon Art Show. The 29th Annual Show was an amazing opportunity to see how talented our young artists are at drawing, painting, ceramics, photography and more. Student recognition in art this year included:

At Wissahickon School District, students know that it’s not only important to get good grades, but to learn how to be good people who help others and make our communities a better place to live. Students in all Wissahickon schools participate in community service to help those in need, including organizing and participating in fundraisers and collections for food, clothing and other necessities. In every school, teachers and administrators emphasize respect for others and self. Here’s a snapshot of Character Education at Wissahickon and the many ways #WissCares.

• Stony Creek holds an annual Giving Night where students make sandwiches for soup kitchens and toys for homeless animals. After Halloween, students collected 523 pounds of candy to send to military personnel serving around the world.

• WMS students organized the 2nd annual Mini-THON in association with the Four Diamonds. Students stayed on their feet for three straight hours, participating in dances, games, basketball, dodgeball and more to raise $7,637 to help children with cancer.

• Through their Gift of Reading program, Shady Grove students and staff raised money to buy new books for students in need. This year Shady Grove gave more than 250 students several books each.

• Throughout the year, every student at Blue Bell Elementary is recognized in the Thinking Wall of Fame which celebrates good decision making and a strong work ethic.

• Each month, Lower Gwynedd recognizes students who use LEAP skills - Listening, Empathy, Appreciation and Perseverance.

• Shady Grove students made Valentine’s Day cards for senior citizens.• Every school participates in Trucks for Maddox, collecting money or

donations of toy trucks for needy and/or sick children.• WMS and WHS are designated “No Place for Hate” schools, recognized

for creating inclusive environments aimed at reducing bias and bullying.

Wissahickon High School adopted the theme of Pay it Forward embracing the belief that if you do something nice for a person, he/she will do something nice for someone else and it continues in a chain reaction. This belief was embedded in dozens of activities throughout the year including the Pay it Forward Homeroom 100 Challenge to record and celebrate students’ random acts of kindness. In April 2016, WHS earned a Promising Practices award from Character.org's Schools of Character program for the RAKtivist (Random Acts of Kindness activists) initiative. Character.org is a national character education organization that recognizes initiatives in schools across the country that demonstrate great character teaching and activities. Through RAKtivist, students deliver anonymous compliments and a flower to WHS students and staff. The WTV studio students capture the moment when the recipient is given his/her compliment and flower, then share the video with the school community. Talk about heart warming!

A Look at the 2016-2017 Budget: Investing in our Students

2015-2016 Budget Snapshot

Page 9

The Board of Directors of the Wissahickon School District approved a final budget for the 2016-17 school year of $95,086,629. This proposed budget includes a 4.51% tax increase. For the average homeowner (assessed home value of $205,720), the higher millage rate will result in a tax increase of $166.

The School Board and district administration developed the proposed final budget to sustain the programs and academic excellence that characterize all of the Wissahickon schools. At the same time, several cost cutting measures (e.g. changing health insurance carriers and reducing non-teaching headcount through attrition) were implemented to reduce expenses. However, two primary cost drivers – PSERS and aging school facilities – prompted the need for more revenue. The “youngest” building, Lower Gwynedd Elementary, is 20 years old while the average age of the five other schools is 54 years old. In the 2016-2017 budget, an additional $1.1M will be raised from the tax increase for capital investments that will enhance the functionality of the district’s schools and facilities.

What is the district’s plan for the additional capital money raised from the tax increase?

The district has a list of known maintenance projects with a combined estimated cost of $25M that are needed to preserve and protect the community’s investment in our existing buildings. Currently, there is $17M in the capital reserve account that will be used to fund some of these projects. The remaining projects on the list, as well as any newly identified renovation or improvement projects, will be funded over time by the additional capital monies being raised. The new funds can also, eventually, be used to replace part or all of one or more of the district’s aging schools, which deserve the long-term planning attention of the board. Various stand-alone plans exist now and will be updated and consolidated in the coming months to ensure the district is prepared, both today and tomorrow, to continue to provide a school system that meets the community’s expectations for excellence.

Wissahickon will continue to have the lowest school taxes among all

22 school districts in Montgomery

County.

Since Wissahickon Educational Opportunities Foundation (WEOF) was

founded, the foundation has provided more than $325,000 in grants to enhance teaching and learning through new programs, equipment, technology and resources and further engage students in classroom, and co-curricular activities. WEOF was pleased to award the following grants this past year:

• Romo Robots and a 3-dimensional printer for innovative learning activities in the MakerSpace at WMS and Blue Bell Elementary School

• Guest speaker and performing arts assemblies for all Wissahickon schools

• Expanded activities for an after school club called WissPals which pairs regular education students with the autistic support and life skills students

A $10,000 grant awarded to WEOF by Ambler Savings Bank helped enhance the popular MakerSpace at Wissahickon Middle School and expand MakerSpace opportunities in each of the four elementary schools. The donation was provided through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC), a state program that allows participating businesses to support innovative educational improvement organizations like WEOF and receive a tax credit on their state taxes - a real win-win!

Check out www.weof.org to see the approved EITC programs and how participating EITC businesses can support our students.
