Message to Staff—John Wyrick
- My Commitment to Our Students and Our
Community: A vision for USD 506
As the 2015 school year comes to a close I
want to take a few minutes to thank each and
every one of you for everything you do and have
done for our students! Our students and staff are
the best around and I wouldn’t trade them for
anything. As the superintendent of this great
district I have great hope for all of our
stakeholders. Moving forward with closing
another school year I believe it is important for
all of us to reflect upon the successes over the
course of this school year. We must recognize
our students for who they are and must continue
to challenge them to excel while balancing their
academic progress with personal, physical, civic,
and social development. We must continue to
provide our students with the highest quality
education possible in order to prepare them for
success in a global, interconnected future. The
April 5, 2016
21st century education at USD 506 will enable
our students to address challenges we cannot
predict, to use creative thinking and problemsolving, to understand technology, to persevere
and to respect themselves and those around them
on a daily basis.
To continue along the path set by
administration and USD 506 board of education
in years past; we are dedicated to helping our
students achieve excellence, and we are
committed to being the highest quality
educational system in Kansas. This includes a
commitment to continual improvement in the
classroom and outside the confines of 506,
informed reflection and decision-making, and
the collection and analysis of data. As the best
school district in the state, we must attract and
retain excellent educators who can provide a
challenging, relevant and real-life curriculum
that serves the needs of our students. Our district
has reaffirmed our commitment to a vital and
focused program of professional development
for our staff and a safe environment for learning
and constructive communication for our
students. And we commit to the wise allocation
of the resources our communities provide.
Students in our district succeed largely due to
the district’s culture that stresses the
relationships we establish with caring teachers in
classes that normally have fewer than 20
students. The district’s stakeholders consistently
mention class size and the district’s overall
smallness to be key strengths of the district.
Some refer to a “private school experience at
public school prices” in describing our district.
Students feel supported and encouraged to
participate in sports, drama, art, music, and other

A detailed summary of the legislation by

has archived a Webinar on the bill that can be

My hope for you as we wind down another

your job today as you were the first day you
started. Our kids deserve your best, our
communities expect your best, and I know deep
down you expect the best for those who call

make memories today that will last a lifetime!
Sincerely,
John Wyrick
Superintendent
A hundred years from now it will not matter
what my bank account was, the sort of house I
lived in, or the kind of car I drove…but, the
world may be a better place because
I was important in the life of a child.

KASB provides details on wide-ranging
school finance bill
taken from KASB News Briefs, April 4, 2016;
Tallman Report, by Mark Tallman
A proposed school finance system would
reduce funding, including the elimination of
state spending for extracurricular activities, and
provide tax funds to parents who want to send
their children to private schools or home
schools.
House Bill 2741 was put together by the
chairs of the House and Senate Education
Committees — Sen. Steve Abrams, R-Arkansas
City, and Rep. Ron Highland, R-Wamego —
The measure would reduce base school
funding from 2014-15 levels by $373 million,
but then temporarily make up some of that
funding.
The bill would include reductions of state aid
based on enrollment by 9 percent; transportation
funding by 15 percent; low income aid by 17
percent and bilingual state aid by 51 percent.
Then for two years, districts would receive
additional aid to make up some of the difference
from 2014-15 levels minus projected savings
from so-called efficiencies. These would include
prohibiting state funding of food services and
extracurricular activities, putting school
employees in the state health plan and reducing
school district cash balances.
On taxes, districts could increase property
taxes without limit for up to five years with
voter approval for purposes other than
instruction. Districts would also have to levy a
35 statewide mill property tax compared with
the current 20 mills.
In addition, the bill would create the Kansas
Education Freedom Act in which state funds
equal to 70 percent of general state aid for each
student, would go toward that student’s parents
and be used to pay for educational costs at
private or home schools.
The measure would also create the USD
Efficiency Incentive Program in which school
district employees could submit efficiency ideas

for districts and if approved by the State Board
of Education could receive up to 10 percent of
the savings.
Since cell phones first saw widespread
adoption in the 1990s, they've become not just
ever present, but have developed vastly
The bill could make court challenges to
school finance laws more difficult. Only locally
raised funds could be used to finance litigation,
an appeal from the trial court level would have
to go to the Kansas Court of Appeals, instead of
directly to the Kansas Supreme Court, and a
three-judge panel for school finance trials would
be determined by lottery.
expanded capabilities, such as the ability to take
and instantly share photos. This ability has lead
to the phenomena of “sexting,” where people
send suggestive or nude pictures to others using
their cell phones. Some states have adopted laws
that prescribe penalties aimed specifically at
teenagers or adolescents who send such photos.
Starting in 2018-19, the Kansas State Board
of Education would disburse success grants
based on student performance after graduation,
according to the bill but no amount of funding is
set. In addition, new formulas would be
established for capital outlay state aid and
capital improvement aid.
Legislators return for the wrap up session on
April 27 but no indication has been given on
whether there will be hearings on this bill.

AGS Student to West Point STEM
Workshop
Gracie Gatton, sixth grade, has been chosen from among hundreds of applicants to participate in the West Point STEM Workshop at West Point from May 24 -­‐ 27, 2016. This is the second year that a student from Altamont Grade School has been selected to participate in the West Point STEM Workshop. The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Workshop is designed for middle school students who demonstrate strong interest and skills in science, technology, engineering, and math. Gracie is excited about the workshop and is looking forward to the experience. 21
Submitting an application to the workshop is voluntary. The student and their family decide if they want to pursue the time, effort, and expense of applying. The workshop is free, but the student’s family is responsible for any travel expense. Gracie is the daughter of Debbie and Rick Gatton. Kansas State Assessments @ AGS
February 24 – April 21
To help each student perform at his or her best on
the Kansas Assessments, the teachers work daily
on enhancing content-specific and cross-curricular
knowledge and skills.
Parents ask: What can I do to help my
child excel on the Kansas Assessments?
There are a number of ways to help your child
perform his or her best on the Kansas Assessments.
Parents can help their children most by starting the
day with a nourishing breakfast and ensuring they
get plenty of rest the night before. Parents can also
visit with their child about the importance of doing
their best in everything they do: school, sports,
work, being responsible, etc.
AGS Testing Schedule
February 23 – March 10: The Multidisciplinary
Performance tests were given to grades 3-8 in
reading and math.
Test dates are subject to change.
Grade 3: Language Arts March 22 – 28
Math April 11 – 14
Thank You!
I would like to thank the PTO officers and the
AGS parents for your continued support of our
school! Activities sponsored by the PTO this
school year include: Fun Night, Book Fair,
supporting our athletic program, library books,
recess equipment, meals for the teachers at
conferences, skating unit, Box Top parties, student
rewards, Geography Bee, field trips, learning
projects, etc.
PLEASE JOIN US AT THE NEXT PTO
MEETING ON APRIL 26th AT 7:00! Parent
and teacher involvement is needed and
appreciated!
Safety Concern
ATTENTION: When picking up students,
delivering messages, etc. the school will
contact the classroom while parents are to
wait in the hallway outside the office door until
their child arrives from the classroom. Parents
are not to wait outside the classroom to pick
up their child. Non-school personnel arriving at
the door of a classroom is an interruption for
the whole class and a potential safety issue.
PK parents may wait outside the office door or
the southwest exit until their child is brought
out.
The Easter Bunny visited grades K-3 at
AGS on March 23rd! This is Mrs.
Roberts’ first grade class.

BUILDING RESPONSIBILITY
Help your child keep track of things –
Elementary students are still developing
their ability to store information. So they
forget a lot. Instead of taking over their
duties, try these ideas:
Write down task. List and post
your child’s responsibilities, chores
and schoolwork.
Notice success. Tell your child
that you admire his efforts!
Establish routines. This will help
your child remember what to do and
when to do it.
Organize belongings. Have your
child put key items in the same
place every day.
Show confidence. Send the
message, “I know you can do this. I
believe in you.”

PE II we are continuing the Badminton Unit. The lifetime sport of
horseshoes will be next on the activity agenda.
Jenny Gartner
Chemistry is finishing up Solutions by studying the properties of Acids
and Bases and conducting titration experiments.
Physics has finished a robotics study in which tractors were
engineered and constructed and the students were graded on how
many full pop cans the tractors could pull in one minute a maximum of
50 cm. We are transitioning from classical Newtonian Physics to
Modern Physics and the tie ins with Mr. Warren's Electronic student
and curriculum always makes this section especially meaningful.
College Chemistry. This is one of the best classes I have taught. They
are ready to learn everyday. We are beginning the last 3 chapters
which deal with Quantum Theory of Atoms and how they bond. This is
material the students have never seen before and the concepts are
deep and abstract. This is a great prep for students planning on
entering any medical field that will require them to take Organic
Chemistry. As always Dr. Ecoff with LCC is an amazing textbook writer
and does a great job of presenting the information in written form.
Google Classroom has been an awesome resource all year but it will be
a life line for students this last 9 weeks. Here at the high School the
number of activities and sporting events that will pull them from class
is staggering. Being able to record my lectures and post assignments
with the required materials is a work and study skill that they are now
ready to use and refine.
Kristi Esquibel
All of the students passed the safety test for Man Process class

In Spanish I we are working with the stem-changing shoe verbs and
will soon begin a chapter which centers around typical spring sports
and the vocabulary which is associated with spring sports. Because of
the recent proposed changes in our relations with Cuba, the students
recently viewed and discussed a video about the culture and history of
the island. Students also viewed a short clip of the Cuban national
dance-the Rumba.
In Spanish II the students recently completed a unit on the preterit
pasgt tenses and their uses. To allow them to apply what they have
learned, we have begun reparations for short puppet dialogs wherein
the students will utilize a minimum number of preterit verbs. A number
of points are awarded for successful completion of each step of the
puppet show; and a rubric for grading is given to the students along
with a time schedule for the completion
of each steps. The students have the option of using costumes of their
own design or they may make puppets for each character. The final
performances will be presented at the conclusion in the small theater.
In German II students are completing the forms of the past tenses and
will soon be involved in the preparations of a puppet dialog as in
Spanish II.
In Global Expeditions the final meeting of the year will feature the
foods and cultures of the Netherlands and Sweden. We will have
drawings for prizes for the people who bring authentic foods, people
who bring an interesting fact about each culture, and for those club
members who wear the club shirt to the meeting. We will also be

Principal: Shane Holtzman LABETTE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL USD 506 Altamont, KS 67330 620-­‐784-­‐5321 Asst. Principal: Ed Raschen seeking volunteers to serve on the Global Board of Directors for he
coming year. Any club member may volunteer to be on the board. The
club does not have officers as such. The responsibility of the Board of
Directors is to plan the meeting agenda, assign tasks at the meetings,
and inventory supplies to see what is needed. Our primary goal is to
promote knowledge, understanding, and mutual respect among
cultures and peoples around the world.

Comp II students are working on a long research paper that explores a
problem and/or social issue that includes researched data that
supports or refutes their claim. This project includes rhetorical
strategies, the use of online sources such as TED Talks ( which reflect
the format of successful, logical, supportable information sharing), and
knowledge of peer reviewed articles located in electronic databases.
Gen Lit. students are explicating poetry using the New Critical
approach which includes a close reading in order to support their
thesis with exploration into literary elements such as diction, imagery,
form, speaker, figurative language leading them to a defendable
symbolic interpretation of the poem.
Language Arts (Juniors) are filling out job application and/or college
applications without error and adhering to deadlines in order to gain
successful skills that will help throughout their lives.
Kim McMunn
Health Science I class recently finished studying how alcohol and
tobacco affect our health negatively. Took field trip to the PSH&TC to
learn of all health careers available there. We received a tour of
facilities. Learned about intellectual disabilities and how it is
considered the largest minority group. Discussing empathy for this
group of people as they receive care.
Health Science II has studied the integumentary system, eyes and
ears. Students researched different disease processes related to
these systems and present information to the class. Have done

Principal: Shane Holtzman LABETTE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL USD 506 Altamont, KS 67330 620-­‐784-­‐5321 Asst. Principal: Ed Raschen experiments to help students have empathy for people with vision or
hearing loss.
Health Science III finished job shadowing at Labette Health and are
now to the next rotation. They are shadowing at the offices of: Dr.
Dudek, Dr. Finley, Dr. Wommack and Dr. Newland. They plan to help
with the EMS Teen Saver presentation for the school. They will be
helping do the presentations at the Body Venture in April for grade
school children.
Health Science IV researched and prepared a presentation on Dental
Care. They taught the HS I class and have a smaller version that they
will be presenting to the K, 1st and 2nd grade students at AGS.
Arlene Brothers
The few days left in this school year are going fast. I believe it was a
very productive, structured and fantastic year. The Labette Academy
students have excelled and I am very proud of the accomplishments
they have finished. This school year will end with at least 17
students receiving a diploma. The students that have finished are in
the community doing great things for themselves. Recently, an
academy graduate joined the military and is excited to have the
possibilities for a career as a marine. Many of the graduates are
enrolled in a college and plan on furthering their education. One of this
years' graduates has a full time job at Wal Mart. Most of the students
are working at a job and utilizing having a diploma to benefit their
futures.
My mind thinks of the end of a school year almost like a harvest of a
crop that was much work and tended diligently with much care to
grow, with this year showing a great bounty. In my opinion, it has been
the most successful and best year ever.

Caroline's college decision making process with regard to the "big fish
in a little pond" concept and the relation to their current college
search. Caroline began as a top notch science student with a keen
interest in the field, yet her college choice resulted in her changing
majors and changing her career and life plans. Allie Jones has been
selected for the elite EFL/FTE Program at the University of California in
Berkley. McKenna Beery and Kaci Hultz have applied to the Quest
Bridge program for scholarship opportunities. Past LCHS Quest Bridge
winners include, Jessica Pierce and Hannah Pearce!
Lisa Chapman
Mrs. Chapman's English classes began their Spring Novel Study on
March 28. This novel study takes my students on journeys like they
have never experienced. My English 2 classes journey through the
Holocaust through the experiences of Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel or
the characters of Liesel Meminger or a young German boy named
Bruno. My English 1 classes are experiencing prejudice in the deep
South in the early part of the 20th century through the experiences of
John Howard Griffin, Scout Finch, or Hiram Hillburn.
I am also happy to share honors that my students have received. Of 18
entries I submitted to the Voices of Kansas contest, 10 were selected
for publication. I am very proud of these young writers! English 1 Cassidy Brown, Trey Mathis, Levi McDonald, and Samantha
Romine. English 2 - Prairie Bogle, Channler Davenport, Paige March,
Shelby McWhirt, Lilliann Preston, and Genevieve Vasser.

and dissection labs and will spend most of April learning about the
urinary system in class and lab. After urinary, reproductive systems
will be covered prior to finals.
A&P - After completing the central nervous system and special senses
notes, the class performed dissections on cow eyes then learned to
use an opthalmascope to view each others' optic nerve, retina, macula,
and major vessels in the eye. Following, they learned to use an
otoscope to examine each others' ear canals and drums. Analyzing the
endocrine and respiratory systems were next, including multiple organ
dissections. Students are now beginning the urinary system and will
perform urinalysis and dissection labs after discussions. Before finals,
students will finish the year studying the reproductive system.

This month our JAG program welcomed SFC Elzy, United States Army
recruiter, back to the classroom to help get the students setup on the
March2Success online training program. This program will help the
students improve their vocabulary and math skills as well as help
increase their testing scores. SFC Elzy also came a second time this
month to visit with a couple young men in the class about their desire
to enter the military and what steps they need to take if they are
serious about pursuing a career in the Army.
43
Principal: Shane Holtzman LABETTE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL USD 506 Altamont, KS 67330 620-­‐784-­‐5321 Asst. Principal: Ed Raschen We also welcomed Scott Austin, one of the LCHS business
teachers, to speak to our class about his line of work and how he
ended up at LCHS. Mr. Austin previously worked in the business
community as a financial investor at a local business, but after a few
years he decided he wanted a more relaxed, less stressful career. He
spoke to the students about the importance of saving their money and
investing it in their futures.
This month we volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House in
Joplin, MO. A small group of students went to the RMH and cooked and
cleaned as well as participated in a community awareness activity
called “Sticker Shock” where we informed area businesses about the
costs of providing alcohol to underage individuals. We also delivered
our donated items to PALS, a local animal shelter, and the students
enjoyed interacting with the animals while there.

Executive Session
School board business is public business and all official board action should be
taken in open session. Executive sessions may sometimes be needed, however,
to discuss matters prior to board action. By statute (K.S.A. 75-4319) no subjects
shall be discussed at any closed or executive session, except the following:
Ø Personnel matters of nonelected personnel.
Ø To discuss matters affecting a student(s).
Ø To discuss confidential financial data or trade secrets of a business.
Ø Consultation with an attorney for the board, which would be deemed,
privileged in the attorney-client relationship.
Ø To discuss negotiations.
Ø To have preliminary discussions about the acquisition of real property.
Ø To discuss matters relating to the security of the board or the school.
I move that the board go into executive session for the purpose of discussing
personnel matters for non-elected personnel; and that the board return to the
open meeting at ___________o’clock in this room. The executive session is
required to protect the privacy interests of an identifiable individual.
