Bullying Declining at Linton-Stockton Elementary

Below is a PowerPoint presentations with our 2008 vs. 2009 Olweus Anti-Bullying Survey Results. Our data has shown we have made a big gain in decreasing the amount of bullying going on at our school; however, we still have more work to do.

Bullying: A student is being bullied when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more students. Bullying implies an imbalance in power or strength.

L.S.E. four anti-bullying rules:
1. We will not bully others.
2. We will try to help students who are bullied.
3. We will try to include students who are left out.
4. If we know that somebody is being bullied, we will tell an adult at school and adult at home.

The yellow diamond on the graphs below represent the national average.

Linton-Stockton Elementary Promotion Policy Grades 3 - 6

During this time of year teachers and parents begin having conversations about student achievement and their readiness for the next school year. I wanted to remind all parents about our promotion policy and if your child is in danger of not meeting the policy to begin having conversations with your child and teacher or teachers.

Grades 3 - 6
I. To be promoted in grades 3rd, 4Th, 5Th and 6Th a student must:
1. Pass Math with semester averages of C- or better.
2. Pass Reading and English with semester averages of C- or better.
3. Have no more than 2 semester F’s for the entire year in all other subject
areas. An exception to 1-3 above may be granted if a student demonstrates and maintains remarkable improvement. This would be a dramatic, positive change in work ethic, study habits, and attitude toward school work. All are obvious indicators of initiative and increased motivation. The measurable result would be a change in letter grades to acceptable levels. This exception may include a competency test, study tables, summer school, or any other requirement deemed necessary. This will be determined by a principal/teacher review committee.

II. All students must pass the Math, Reading, and Language Arts portions of the ISTEP test to be promoted to the next grade. If ISTEP and other relevant test scores are not at appropriate levels, an exception may be granted if:
1. Student has 95% attendance rate for the year. (9 or less days of absence.)
2. Student has passing semester grade averages in all subject areas.
3. Student has no more than 3 separate discipline issues resulting in
in-school or out of school suspension. 4. Student’s score is relatively close to the cutoff score. This exception will be determined by a principal/teacher committee. If a student does not meet the above requirements, they will be recommended to the administration for retention.
Parental Notification Parents will be notified by letter as soon as retention becomes a possibility. At that time, as well as any time before, a parent may request a conference with his/her child’s teacher. The final decision will be noted on the last report card of the year.

Linton-Stockton Elementary School Promotion Policy Grades K-2

During this time of year teachers and parents begin having conversations about student achievement and their readiness for the next school year. I wanted to remind all parents about our promotion policy and if your child is in danger of not meeting the policy to begin having conversations with your child and teacher or teachers.

PROMOTION POLICY for K - 2
Kindergarten: If the student cannot identify 90% or more of the alphabet letters and sounds, he/she may not be promoted. Also, a kindergarten student may not be promoted if in the teacher’s/parent’s judgment he/she is socially and or emotionally immature, yet has the adequate grades. The final decision will be based on such factors as study skills, work habits, attendance, DIBLES, grades, knowledge of high frequency words introduced, and teacher/parent input.
Grades 1st and 2nd
I. To pass 1ST and 2nd grades a student must:
1. Pass Reading Skills, Reading Comprehension, and Math with semester averages of C- or better.
2. Not earn more than 2 F’s per subject for the entire school year.
An exception to 1 & 2 above may be granted if a student shows remarkable improvement. This will be determined by the child’s teacher. Remarkable improvement would reflect a dramatic, positive change in work ethic, study habits, attitude, and homework completion. More powerful indicators would be improved scores on class work, quizzes, and tests. This exception may require a competency test, study tables, summer school, or any other requirement deemed necessary by the teacher.
II. All students must pass DIBELS and NWEA tests in order to be promoted to the next grade.
If DIBELS and/or NWEA test scores are not at appropriate levels, an exception may be granted if:
1. Student has at least 95% attendance rate for the year (9 or less days of absences).
2. Student maintains passing semester grade averages in all subject areas for the remainder of the school year.
3. Student has no more than 3 separate discipline issues resulting in in-school or out-of-school suspension.
4. Student’s score is relatively close to the cutoff score.
This exception will be determined by the child’s teacher. If a student does not meet the above requirements, he/she will be recommended to the administration for retention. Parents will be notified by letter as soon as retention becomes a possibility. At that time, as well as any time before, a parent may request a conference with his/her child’s teacher. The final decision will be noted on the last report card of the year.
