We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of all students back to school. It is our expectation that your child will experi- ence one of the most successful and rewarding school years in his/her school history. As the primary instructional leader for the Crittenden County Schools, I am optimistic that the Crittenden County Schools will be each and every parent’s “school of choice.” At the beginning of a school year, it is important for you to know that there is a purposeful commitment by the dis- trict leadership and the board of educa- tion to improve student achievement in this school district. We are committed to implementing the following district/school standards for continuous improvement: Building strong relationships with students, families and the community at large; Setting high expectations for aca- demic performance at all levels; Creating safe/orderly, inviting learning environments for all students, and Seeking efficient methods for maximum use of all available resources. School, family and community partnerships We believe that “students do not care how much you know, until they know how much you care.” Creating positive communication methods, rec- ognizing the positive contributions of students and staff, and developing true supportive relationships between schools, families and the community will ensure that the students enrolled in Crittenden County Schools know that we genuinely care about their academic successes and will do whatever it takes to help them learn at high levels. It is our belief that the way schools care about children is reflected in the way the schools care about the chil- dren’s families. This view assumes that both the family and the community are partners with the school in children’s education and development. Partners recognize their shared interests in and responsibilities for children, and they work together to create better pro- grams and opportunities for students. When parents, teachers, students and others view one another as partners in education, a caring community forms around student learning and continuous improvement. Academic performance commitments Continuous improvement with regard to curriculum, instruction and assessment for student learning will be priorities throughout this school year. We will ensure that our curriculum for students in rigorous, intentional and aligned with state and local standards. The Crittenden County Schools will use multiple evaluation and assessment strategies to continuously monitor and modify instruction to meet student needs and support proficient student work. The school’s instructional pro- gram will actively engage all students by using effective, varied and research-based practices to improve student academic performance. Learning environment commitments The Crittenden County Schools/District will function as an effective learning community and sup- port a safe, orderly school climate con- ducive to performance excellence. We will work with families and community groups to remove barriers to learning in an effort to meet the intellectual, social, career and developmental needs of students. We will provide research-based, results-driven profes- sional development opportunities for staff and implement performance eval- uation procedures in order to improve teaching and learning. Efficiency/leadership commitments Crittenden County school and dis- trict instructional decisions will focus on support for teaching and learning, organizational direction/vision, high performance expectations, the creation of learning culture and the develop- ment of leadership capacity. Both the district and schools will be organized to maximize the use of all available resources to support high student and staff performance. What an exciting time to be involved with the educational progress in Crittenden County! The time has come for us to focus our time, talent and collective energies in providing a 21st century education for Crittenden County students. We believe that the Crittenden County Schools will be one of the highest performing districts in the state of Kentucky within a short period of time. What a tremendous opportunity we have been given to impact the future of our children for a lifetime. I look forward to our journey together.

After having put in long eight-hour days each weekday, the two- week camp will end Friday. School starts less than two weeks later on Aug. 6. By EMORY WILLIAMSON STAFF WRITER After dropping out of Crittenden County High School in January, 18-year-old Matt Thurmond said some individuals, including his father and his girl- friend’s father, had doubts that he would be able to return to school and obtain a diploma. Now, he wants to prove them wrong. “Since I dropped out (of school), my dad thinks I’m not going to do it, but my dad will admit to being wrong if I actually go through with it and better myself,” said Thurmond, who wants to pur- sue a career in video game design. “And I want to prove my girlfriend’s dad wrong because he told me that he didn’t think I was going to amount to anything.” Thurmond recently signed up for the Pathway Academy, an alternative school administered by CCHS in order to help dropouts obtain a diploma and better themselves within the community. According to Vince Clark, instructional supervisor for both the middle and high school, the program was created in order to combat rising dropout numbers in the high school. “I was just alarmed at the number of dropouts we were hav- ing since it’s an extraordinary amount for a district our size,” said Clark of the increase in dropout numbers. “I was worried about (the students’) future and the impact on our community as a whole.” Dropout rates have risen sig- nificantly over the past four years and because of that, school offi- cials under former Superintendent John Belt began searching for a program that would reduce the number of dropouts to a more reasonable level. Since the 2004- 05 school year, when 13 students dropped out of CCHS, the number of dropouts has increased by an average of more than five stu- dents per year. According to Clark, the 2007-08 school year had about 8-9 percent of the stu- dents at CCHS drop out. Thurmond, who was part of an 11-student increase in dropouts from 23 in 2006-07 to last year’s 34, said the main reason he left school was because he simply lost interest. “I just got fed up with (school) and I wanted to drop out after my freshman year,” said Thurmond, who had to wait until he turned 18 to quit school without his par- ents’ approval. “After that, I basi- cally gave up. If I don’t really care about it, then I’m not going to do it.” Clark acknowledged that a lack of interest in subject matter is often attributed to the student not being able to function proper- ly within the school system. Thurmond, for instance, said he struggled with drama and gossip at CCHS. “Not all kids learn on the same day in the same way,” Clark said. “These kids have tried, and they have failed, and they’ve gotten frustrated and discouraged, and it’s got to be a bad place to be when you just say ‘I quit.’” Other stu- dents involved in the 2007-08 increase include 18-year-old James Berry, who dropped out of CCHS in February. However, Berry’s reason for dropping out of high school differs from that of Thurmond. Berry cited his health, including issues with his esophagus and anxiety he had struggled with since developing them as a young teenager. “I just missed a lot of school,” said Berry, adding that he had made decent grades in school until he started getting sick. “I would miss a lot of school at once, and I just couldn’t get caught up.” Initially, the Pathway Academy struggled to take off as school officials worked to obtain a grant. Clark attributed this struggle to the county being perceived as a smaller problem compared to other, larger school districts requesting grants. “It is something that has taken a lot of effort and time,” said Clark, who has spent the past few weeks visiting homes of potential Pathway students. “There have been tears and prayers have been answered because these par- ents have been very con- cerned about their child drop- ping out of school and what’s going to happen (to them).” According to Chris Cook, chairman of the Crittenden County Board of Education, the initial $25,000 grant was supplemented by an addition- al $33,000 grant provided by the school board. Cook said an analysis conducted by the board over a four-year period shows a $600,000-plus loss by the school district due to students dropping out of school. “We just think about the change that a high school diploma makes in a young person’s life and that’s what we’re really focused on,” said Cook. “A $600,000 loss to our budget in this type of budget crunch is alarming, but you don’t see board members, administrators and teachers crying about lost money; they’re crying about young people that are throwing their lives away.” Cook said the board’s decision to invest in the Pathway Academy was needed in order to ensure the success of the new program. “It was critical for the program to even come to life because the grant was not sufficient to fully fund the program,” said Cook. “For those 30-plus dropouts that we had last year, it’s critical for their futures.” Berry’s mother, Cheryl Berry, who tearfully praised the Pathway Academy, said she had nearly lost hope until she heard from Clark about the new program a few weeks ago. “It’s a miracle,” said Cheryl of the program’s timing in their lives. “Our prayers were answered, because with this, James is get- ting a second chance.” Because of his truancy, James could have been sent to a juvenile detention center due to excessive Students return Aug. 6 for half-day New program offers ‘Pathway’ to diploma for at-risk students Clark See PATHWAY/Page 2B Meetings DATE TIME LOCATION July 29 ............6:00 p.m. ........Rocket Arena Aug. 26 ...........6:00 p.m. ........Rocket Arena Sept. 23* ........5:30 p.m. ........CCMS Oct. 21* ..........5:30 p.m. ........CCHS Nov. 18* .........5:30 p.m. ........CCES Dec. 16 ...........6:00 p.m. ........CCMS Jan. 20............6:00 p.m. ........CCHS *Meeting wil begin with a tour of respective meeting site for administrators to share successes and struggles in terms of their facility.

“I was just alarmed at thenumber of dropouts we were hav-ing since it’s an extraordinaryamount for a district our size,”said Clark of the increase indropout numbers. “I was worriedabout (the students’) future andthe impact on our community as awhole.”

absences froms c h o o l .However, hismother saidshe wouldn’tstand for thattype of punish-ment.

“He couldn’t(go to school)because he wassick,” saidCheryl , whowas also denied the choice tohome school her son. “If mychild can’t go to school becauseof sickness then I’m not goingto make him.”

James, who needs only fourcredits to graduate so that hemay pursue a career in film,said the decision to drop outwas difficult for him and hisfamily.

“I didn’t want to (drop out)and I knew it was a bad deci-sion,” he said of his decision inFebruary. “But it was one ofthose things that I had to do.”

Clark said many dropoutshave considered returning toschool after learning thatobtaining an adequate jobbecomes more difficult withouta high school diploma.

“Without a (diploma) theyare very limited and that’s beenvery hard for them to under-stand until now,” said Clark.

Thurmond found that out thehard way.

“I’ve always thought that the

only way I’m going to learn isthe hard way,” said Thurmond,who couldn’t get a job for threemonths after he dropped out ofCCHS. “But I found out it’s real-ly hard to get a good job in asmall town without a diploma.”

According to Clark, thePathway Academy will have twotime slots – the first from 8 to11 a.m. and the second fromnoon to 3 p.m. – in order toappropriately section off stu-dents. The class will be held atthe former alternative educationbuilding located next to the cen-tral office and will be taught byformer CCHS teacher, TammyDuvall, who was a yearbook anded-tech instructor last year atthe high school.

“Our school district is verycommitted to our young peoplebeing prepared for life after highschool,” said Cook, who addedthat the dropout concern is justa part of the issue at large. “Ifthey drop out, their chances ofbeing prepared for life are notas great as they are for a highschool graduate.”

THE CRITTENDEN PRESS, Marion, Kentucky 42064, Thursday, July 24, 2008 3B

Dear CCMS parents and studentsWelcome back! I hope you have

all had an awesome summer andare eager to begin the 2008-09school year. We are excited to haveour seventh- and eighth-gradersback at Crittenden County MiddleSchool this year and are looking for-ward to getting to know our newgroup of 6th graders. I’m happy tolet you know that we will haveexactly the same staff at CCMS as lastyear. It’s going to be a great year!

We would like to invite all students andparents to our annualOpen House onTuesday evening,Aug. 5. We are try-ing something a lit-tle different thisyear with sixth-grade orientationfrom 5:30 to 7p.m., and openhouse from 6:30to 8 p.m. Wehope that thisformat will allowsome neededadditional timefor our newstudents andparents tobecome famil-iar withCCMS. Sixth-grade parentsand studentswill need to be in theCCMS gym at 5:30 p.m., to beginOrientation. We hope that students andparents from all grade levels will come outand visit with us that evening. You will beable to pick up your registration forms as

well as put money into your student’slunch account and purchase agendabooks. We look forward to seeing many

familiar faces and new ones as well.Research shows that students do

better in school when theirparents are activelyinvolved in their educa-tion. With that in mind,we invite each of you tobecome involved atCCMS this year. Weencourage you to touchbase with your student’steachers often. All CCMSgrade level teachers havea common planning periodthat allows you to meetwith all of them at once. Bymeeting with teachers, you’llbe able to learn firsthandhow your child is doing, andyou’ll have a chance to dis-cuss strengths and weakness-es. Feel free to call the office(965-5221) anytime you wouldlike to set up an appointment.Email is also a great way to

communicate with school. Youcan email any staff member by [email protected] as the email address. I wouldalso like to ask that you share your email

address with us as we will send outperiodic emails to make you awareof upcoming events and importantinformation. Lastly, I’d like toremind you that the CCMS StudentHandbook, located in your student’sagenda book, is a great resourcewith lots of information on the waythings operate at CCMS. It wouldbe a good idea to familiarize your-self with the handbook in order to

be aware of such things as the CCMSDress Code, Attendance Policies, etc.

I also invite you to get involved atCCMS by volunteering during the schoolday and/or during special events. Pleaseindicate your willingness to help withthese things on the volunteer sheet inyour registration packets. We could reallyuse your help! You are also invited toattend SBDM and PTO meetings. You willfind the dates for these activities in ourmonthly newsletters, on our website, andon our marquee. We’d love to have youjoin us for any and all activities.

Please know that my door is alwaysopen to you. I hope that you will feel freeto come by or call anytime you need myassistance or have new ideas to share.Staying in close contact with school is agreat way to show your student that youvalue his/her education.

In closing, please know that our staff isfully dedicated to making CrittendenCounty Middle School a place where stu-dents feel safe and secure and are able tolearn and achieve at high levels. I am veryproud of our students and staff andeagerly anticipate the wonderful things wewill achieve at CCMS this year. Come joinus as we embark on our best school yearever!

Dear CCES parents and studentsOn behalf of the staff at

Crittenden County ElementarySchool, I would like to welcome youto the 2008-2009 school year. Ihope you’ve had a relaxing andenjoyable summer and are excitedabout the learning opportunities thatlie ahead.

Throughout the summer we havebeen working to design the besteducational experiences for your childrenand we eagerly await the beginning ofschool on Aug. 6. CCES holds high stan-dards for teaching and learning. Webelieve that all students can learn and westrive to provide them every opportunitypossible to help them reach their potential.

We are happy to haveour returning studentsand staff; and we wantto take this opportunityto give a special wel-come to new faces.Due to a large num-ber of incoming fiveyear olds, we havehad to add an addi-tional kindergartenclass. New staffmembers includeMrs. Johnna West,second gradeteacher; Mrs.StephanieChambliss, firstgrade teacher;Ms. AshleyJohnson,kindergartenteacher; andMrs. Denise Lynn,second grade teacher. We areexcited to have new educators on ourteam, and look forward to working withthem for the benefit of children.

We hope you will visit us often and beactively involved in your child’s educationthrough volunteering, attending SBDMCouncil meetings and becoming an activemember of PTO. We sincerely hope to getto know each of you this year. All teacherscan be reached by utilizing the school Website, www.crittenden.kyschools.us, throughe-mail [email protected], or by calling the school office at

965-2243. Our goal at CCES is to increase student

achievement. We ask that you partnerwith us to meet these goals by helping inthe following ways:

� Attendance – There are many stud-ies that show students who are in school

everyday show greater academicprogress. Make sure your child gets

plenty of rest which willincrease his/her partic-ipation in classroomactivities. Arriving ontime ensures that thestudent is ready tofocus on instruction at7:55 a.m. A tardy stu-dent arrives at school ina rush; therefore, his daybegins in a stressful andunorganized manner.

� School Hours –Classroom instructionbegins at 7:55 a.m. andends at 2:55 p.m. Studentsmay arrive at 7:25 a.m., andreport to their homeroom tobegin preparing for theschool day. Breakfast isserved between 7:25 and7:50 a.m. School supervisionwill be provided beginning at

7:25 a.m. Please do not havestudents report prior to this time.

� Delivery/Pick-up Procedures –Students may be dropped off at 7:25 a.m.in the front of the building around the cir-cle. Afternoon pick-up will be at the backof the building following bus pick-ups whichwill be approximately 3:10 p.m. Please donot get ahead of the buses or park in anarea that will interrupt the flow of traffic.These procedures are in place for the safe-ty of all students.

� Homework – Homework provides

students an opportunity to practicewhat they have been taught. Pleasework with your child on assignmentsand read with them regularly. Quizyour children prior to assessmentsand check their assignment booksdaily.

� Assignment Book – Toincrease communication betweenhome and school, and help teachstudents responsibility, we ask that

all students in grades 1-5 purchase anassignment book from school ($5). Thebooks may be purchased on Sneak-a-Peeknight in the library, or from their homeroomteacher on the first day of school. Theassignment book is good for the entire yearand it serves as an avenue of communica-tion between home and school regardingassignments and class/school activities.We encourage you to write notes to theteacher about any questions or concernsyou may have. The assignment book isonly effective if both teacher and parentcheck it daily. The student handbook isalso printed in the front of the assignmentbook. The handbook contains the schoolcalendar, information about new atten-dance procedures and school policies.

Mark your calendar� Aug. 4, 6-7:30 p.m.: Sneak-a-Peek

– We encourage all parents and students toattend this event allowing you the opportu-nity to meet teachers, complete paperwork,ask questions and visit classrooms.

� Aug. 6: First day of school – The firstday of school for students is Wednesday,Aug. 6, which will be a half day with dis-missal at 11:45.

� Sept. 27, 4-7 p.m.: PTO Fall Festival– The Crittenden County Elementary\School staff has spent a significantamount of time planning for the opening ofschool to ensure a smooth transition foreveryone involved. If you have any ques-tions, please do not hesitate to call. Welook forward to working with you and yourchild throughout the school year to providea productive and safe learning environmentthat supports student success. We hopeyou enjoy the remainder of your summerbreak and look forward to seeing you atSneak-a-Peek.
