Agendas are posted on the district website. Postings and Advertisements POSTINGS: We are posting the following for the 2015-2016 school year. For your convenience, these postings have also been sent to District email addresses. • Bus Mechanic/Technician: Fulltime 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 1 17 LABETTE COUNTY Unified School District 506 P. O. Box 189 • 401 S.

A detailed summary of the legislation by KASB can be accessed here. In addition, KASB has archived a Webinar on the bill that can be viewed here. My hope for you as we wind down another school year is that you are as passionate about 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 USD 506 HOME. Enjoy the rest of the year and 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. ~Dr. Forest E. Witcraft 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 2 18 LABETTE COUNTY Unified School District 506 P. O.

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. District Site Council Meeting USD 506 is extending an invitation to all staff, students, parents, and patrons living in Labette County to attend our district site council meeting on Tuesday, April 12, 2016 starting at 6:00 p.m. on the campus of L.C.H.S.

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.

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.

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.

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. Jesse Ybarra Sophomore Honors English II students are completing state assessments.

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.
