TEA AREA SCHOOL

DISTRICT

From the Superintendent’s Desk

I would like to share the celebrations in our district as I take this monthly opportunity to tell our story. We are blessed to serve the children of Tea Area and we have a tremendous amount to be proud of in our district.

This year the administrative team and I have made a commitment to focus on instructional leadership. The biggest asset our children have is their teacher and our teachers need support. We have a wonderfully caring and focused staff that devote their profession to taking care of children at all ages both psychologically and physiologically.

Here are a few things we are celebrating: -Welcome Tea Sprouts and T.A.S.K into the district -Reading Rtl – expansion (Response to Intervention) -Hosting our first Oral and Interpretation competition -Up-coming Middle School Play

These are only a few of the things we are celebrating in the Tea Area School District. Building relationships and trust with all our stakeholders is at the forefront of our minds. I welcome you to come visit and experience the exciting, challenging, and changing times in our district.

By Mrs. Lowery, Superintendent

The first week of September all Tea Area Elementary students were screened for reading skill level utilizing the DIBELS System. DIBELS is the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills, which helps teachers identify students who may need additional literacy instruction in order to become proficient readers.

Results of this screening also assist the teachers in assigning students to Walk-to-Read groups. Walk-to-Read is a half-hour of targeted reading instruction where students are grouped with other students with similar reading abilities. Students are evaluated three times a year, September, December and May. For more information on DIBELS, you can access their website at: https://dibels.uoregon.edu/

DIBELS Screening to Benefit Elementary Students

On Saturday, September 22nd a dozen Tea Area middle school and high school students donated their time to serve at the Olde Towne Dinner Theatre in Worthing, South Dakota. The students worked together with partners to serve the more than 100 paying guests at the theatre. After serving the guests, the students were then treated to a delicious free four course meal. Next, it was time to watch the delightfully theatrical performance of “Arsenic and Old Lace” by Joseph Kesselring; performed by volunteer actors.

Many of the audience members remarked on how polite and attentive the Tea Area students were to them throughout the evening.

Since 1989, each year the Young Adult Reading Program (YARP) Teen Reads Committee of the South Dakota Library Association has published a list of books to promote quality literature and to help South Dakota teachers and librarians in selecting and promoting books for adolescents. The books are selected from among the many young adult and adult books that have received positive reviews by nationally reviewed periodicals. Previous YARP winning books have been “The Maze Runner” and the ever popular “The Hunger Games.”

By reading YARP books Tea Middle School and High School students can have their name put into a drawing to have a chance of winning a Kindle Fire or $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble in December. The contest features two lists of fifteen nominated titles for middle school and high school students. To qualify to vote, teens simply read a book from the list and give the book a star rating of 1 to 4, 4 being best. Teenagers may read and vote for as many books as they would like; which increases their chances of winning a prize. Two winners will each be selected from the middle school and high school lists. First place for each list will win a Kindle Fire and the second will win a $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble. All prizes have been generously donated by TAPTO for the YARP Contest.

The 2012-2013 YARP Nominee List for Middle School is: “Brain Jack” by Brian Falkner, “Coming of the Dragon” by Rebecca Barnhouse, “Girl, Stolen” by April Henry, “How They Croaked: The Awful Ends of the Awfully Famous” by Georgia Bragg, “Matched” by Ally Condie, “Okay For Now” by Gary Schmidt, “Payback Time” by Carl Deuker, “Properties of Water” by Heather McKinnon, “Kick” by Walter Dean Myers, “Small as an Elephant” by Jennifer Richard Jacobson, “Summer Before Boys” by Nora Raleigh Baskin, “Trapped” by Michael Northrop, “Wonderstruck” by Brian Selznick, “Z” by Michael Thomas Ford, “Grimm Legacy” by Polly Shulman, and “Wild Life” by Cynthia DeFelice.

High School: “Anna and the French Kiss” by Stephanie Perkins, “Beauty Queens” by Libba Bray, “Berlin Boxing Club” by Robert Sharenow, “Blood Red Road” by Moira Young, “Exposed” by Kimberly Marcus, “I'll Be There” by Holly Goldberg Sloan, “Leverage” by Joshua Cohen, “Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children” by Ransom Riggs, “Please Ignore Vera Dietz” by A. S. King, “Rot & Ruin” by Jonathan Maberry, “Split” by Swati Avasthi, “Want to Go Private?” by Shara Darer Littman, “Starcrossed” by Josephine Angelini, “Divergent” by Veronica Roth, “Ashes” by Ilsa Bick, “Stupid Fast” by Geoff Herbach.

On Saturday, September 22nd, over 100 people attended the 2nd annual “Sioux Falls Out of the Darkness” walk for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Several Tea Area students and staff attended and volunteered at the event. Here are some facts about the AFSP: WALK TO SAVE LIVES

In the United States, a person dies by suicide every 14.2 minutes, claiming more than 36,000 lives each year. It is estimated that an attempt is made every minute; with close to one million people attempting suicide annually. Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the U.S., the third leading cause of death among those 15-24 years old, and individuals ages 65 and older account for 16 percent of all suicide deaths. This is a public health issue that does not discriminate by age, gender, ethnicity, or socio economic status. By supporting AFSP’s Out of the Darkness Community Walks you will be working with thousands of people nationwide to raise money for

AFSP’s vital research and education programs to prevent suicide and save lives, increase national awareness about depression and suicide, and assist survivors of suicide loss. WALK TO HONOR LOVED ONES

Suicide is a national health problem that takes an enormous toll on family, friends, co-workers, and the entire community. AFSP provides opportunities for survivors of suicide loss to get involved through a wide variety of educational, outreach, awareness, advocacy and fundraising programs. WALK TO RAISE FUNDS

AFSP funds research aimed at improving our understanding of suicide and ways to prevent it, as well as educational programs to increase awareness about prevention, warning signs and the psychiatric illnesses that can lead to suicide. To find out more about AFSP or to donate, visit: www.outofthedarkness.org or www.afsp.org.

T.A.P.T.O News Flash: Next Meeting – October 2, 2012 at 5:45 in the Intermediate Commons (Everyone is encouraged to attend)

Box Top Update - TAPTO volunteers submitted $2,787.20 in box tops from last year‟s box tops!

The „Welcome Back Walk” was a big success – Thank you Tea Police Department, Tea Fire Department and Volunteers.

T.A.P.T.O has voted to sponsor new playground equipment for the Intermediate building. In the spirit of the election, the students get to choose their favorite by

voting.

What is T.A.P.T.O.

T.A.P.T.O. stands for Tea Area Parent Teacher Organization. TAPTO is a group of parents and teachers that work together toward a common goal:

supporting the education of our Tea Area students. We support K-12. We invite YOU to join us at our monthly meetings. Be a part of an organization

that will benefit your student!

FAQs:

How do I join TAPTO?

There is no process for joining TAPTO. Just show up for a meeting or let us know you‟re interested in helping, and you‟ll be part of TAPTO. Even better,

attend a meeting and bring a friend!

How do I know when the meetings are?

The next TAPTO meeting will be posted in the monthly newsletter. They are typically on one Tuesday of every month at 5:45pm in the Intermediate

Commons area. The meetings usually last about an hour, but you are free to come late or leave early if necessary. Meetings will also be announced on

our Facebook page.

I’m busy with kids and a full-time job. How much time will I have to commit to TAPTO?

It‟s simple: You can commit as much or as little time as you want. The organization is made up of parents just like you: Busy with kids and work.

Even if you can only volunteer once or twice a year, that is a big help!

Why should I volunteer with TAPTO?

Volunteer with TAPTO so you can be more involved with and support your child‟s education. You will get to meet other parents with similar goals for

their children. “On average, the achievement scores of children with highly-involved parents were higher than children with less-involved parents.” ~

The Harvard Family Research Project

I don’t have any special talents. What can I do to make a difference?

You don‟t need any special talents to volunteer – only a willingness to give of your time. There is no maximum commitment. You choose the projects that

interest you and devote as much time as you can.

What sort of things does TAPTO do?

Last year, TAPTO gave $18,000 to the district to fund the INTERWRITE®BOARD project so that all classrooms now have an interactive learning board for

students and teachers.

Every year, TAPTO supports Junior Achievement by paying a portion of the yearly dues for volunteers to come into the classrooms grades 2 and up.

TAPTO pays the registration for the HOBY project for 2 high school students to attend.

TAPTO funds a portion of Artists in Residence to come into our schools.

TAPTO sponsors the following events: Back to School Walk, Titan Wear sales, Pizza Bingo, School Carnival, Conference Meals for teachers, Teacher Appreciation

Week

TAPTO also collects, counts, bundles, and submits Boxtops for Education, Land-O-Lakes milk lids, and Campbell‟s Soup labels to raise money for the Tea Area

schools

Who can I contact with questions about TAPTO?

TEA AREA

SCHOOL

DISTRICT Counselor’s Corner

meet with all my classrooms to

introduce the Character

Counts! Pillar of the month.

This introduction includes

watching an Auto B Good video

that pertains to the appropriate

pillar along with discussion and

coloring sheets. Please take time

to visit with your children about

what i t means to be “trustworthy” which is Septem-

ber ’ s p i l l a r and soon ,

“respectful” which is the pillar

for October. This will be in

conjunction with the Character

Star program discussed on Page

2 of this newsletter.

Last but not least, we will be

celebrating Character Counts!

Week October 21-27 and Red

Ribbon Week October 23-31.

Because they’re celebrated dur-

ing the same week, I will be

spreading it out. I will be doing

an age appropriate “Say NO to

Drugs” guidance lesson with

each classroom.

Wow!!! Where has the time

gone??? I will be wrapping up my

last 2nd Grade guidance lesson

the week of October 16 and

starting in Kindergarten and 1st

Grade the week of October 22.

The first two weeks of school I

had the privilege of going into

each classroom to read the

book Have You Filled a Bucket

Today? This is my favorite book

so its so much fun to share it

with them all. They were all

given “homework” which was

to fill the bucket of at least 3

people. I’m happy to report I

think most of them had that

complete before they ever left

school! I do have a bulletin

board down the Kindergarten

wing designated to this book.

Ask your kids what it means to be a bucket filler.

For 2nd Grade guidance, we

have started our discussions

about bullying. We read the

book The Juice Box Bully and

talked about “The Promise” that

goes along with the book. We

also watched a video called “See

a Bully! Stop a Bully!” The stu-

dents were taught what to do if

they are bullied. First they are

to “TALK” meaning they should

attempt to solve it on their

own. They could simply say

something like “Please stop. I

don’t like it when you…” If that

doesn’t work they should,

“WALK.” This means they

should attempt to get away

from the bully. If this does not

work, they “TELL” a trusted

adult. They’re told to continue

to tell that adult until the prob-

lem is resolved.

I will also be discussing stranger

danger and general safety with

the 2nd Graders. I will continue

with the message NO, GO,

TELL which is what they were

taught last year also.

I am taking the time this year to

Program Updates: Bucket Filling, Bullying and More!

Red Ribbon Week

Tea Area Elementary School will contin-

ue to celebrate Red Ribbon Week Oc-

tober 22-26 with the annual “I CAN,

YOU CAN, WE CAN” food drive for

the Tea Food Pantry. We have other

events planned so please watch as more

information will be coming!

The Golden Rule — do unto others as you would have them do unto you — nicely illustrates the Pillar of respect. Respect prohibits violence, humiliation, manipulation and exploitation. It reflects notions such as civili-ty, courtesy, decency, dignity, autonomy, tolerance and ac-ceptance.”

Character Counts! has Six Pil-lars of Character. The Pillar of Character for October is RE-SPECT. This month teachers and/or students are watching for students who demonstrate qualities of RESPECT. At the end of the month, we will be honoring those students who have been selected as their classroom’s Character Star.

According to the book Making Ethical Decisions: “People are not things, and everyone has a right to be treated with dignity. We cer-tainly have no ethical duty to hold all people in high esteem, but we should treat everyone with respect, regardless of who they are and what they have done. We have a responsibility to be the best we can be in all situations, even when dealing with unpleasant people.

It is important to reinforce the Pillars of Character at home too. Catch your child being good and compliment them on the character qualities you see! For more information, please go to: http://charactercounts.org/sixpillars.html

Character Counts! RESPECT

To educate and empower students for success in a global society.

Treat others with respect; follow the Golden Rule • Be tolerant and accepting of differences • Use good manners, not bad language • Be considerate of the feelings of others • Don’t threaten, hit or hurt anyone • Deal peacefully with anger, insults, and disagreements

September’s CHARACTER STARS of Trustworthiness

I’m honored to announce

the following students as our

Character Stars of Trust-

worthiness. These students

are wonderful examples of

how to be trustworthy. In

the write-ups, teachers

wrote how this student

could be trusted with their

school work, trusted with

their friendships, trusted to

make good choices, etc…

Trust is earned and you defi-

nitely earned it! We are so

proud you!
