district have been promoted
but the one that has had the
most innovative consequence
is its value as a pilot for a oneto-one computer environment.
In conjunction with opening
the TSGA, every sixth grade
student was issued an Apple
iPad tablet to use throughout
their instructional day. This
“pilot” has proven to be a very
effective instructional strategy,
receiving accolades from teachers, students, and parents alike.
In fact, this pilot program has
been so successful the Turner
Board of Education, in December, adopted a proposed
technology plan expanding
the one-to-one concept to other
levels.
And this brings me to the
final “point of inspiration” for
this article. Everyone recognizes the importance to our
students of entering the technological world—whether as a
worker or as a continuing student—with skills that ensures
their success. The rapid change
in available technology creates
planning challenges to anticipating exactly what skills will
be in demand as students graduate from our school system;
however, it is unquestionable
that technological skills and
higher level thinking concepts
will be essential. In response
to this awareness, the Board
wisely adopted the technology
proposal mentioned above.
Through this five-year program, the district will gradually develop into a system where

every student from sixth grade
through high school will have
continuous access to appropriate technology instruments
such as laptops, tablets and like
devices. The program also expands access to computers for
elementary student use, but not
at a one-to-one level.
Does this “quiet inspiration”
that I’ve been describing mean
I am disappointed in our first
semester work? Not only am I
not disappointed in the level of
energy and creativity exhibited
by our staff this year, I am inspired by it! The secret to conducting an inspiring program
is to be energetic and creative,
certainly, but also to wrap that
energy in thoughtfulness, purposefulness, and consistency
of direction. The actions and
activities I observe throughout
our district on a daily basis
reinforce my belief that we are
truly a teaching and learning
organization that continues to
“Inspire a Generation.”

one that will help us better
prepare our students to be
successful in a technological
world and better prepared for
postsecondary success.
Another of the less flashy
changes that have occurred
this year is the adoption of
the BIST behavior program in
our elementary and middle
schools. BIST is a behavioral
management program that,
we believe, will improve the
learning climate in our schools
by providing a continuous
program of behavior management. Through this continuity,
a student that moves between
schools or matriculates to a
new level will not have to learn
new expectations and concepts.
Additionally, the BIST program
is designed not just to improve
negative behaviors but also
to help students refrain from
similar subsequent behaviors
through a cognitive learning
process. A quiet change? Indeed. But one that can contribute to improved student
achievement by reducing distractions from the learning
process and providing for more
time spent on instructional
energies.
OK, not everything we’ve
accomplish this year is without some flash. One of the
more noteworthy changes
that was instituted in our district this year is the new sixth
grade attendance center—the
Turner Sixth Grade Academy.
Several reasons for initiating
this structural change in our

hen we met as
a district staff at
the beginning of
the year and proclaimed our
goal to be to “Inspire a Generation”, I’m sure most of us were
thinking about doing the flashy
kinds of things that catch one’s
immediate attention but often
as quickly fade as we move forward. This year’s inspirational
activities have come in “under
the radar” but create no small
impact for our students. For
example, the adoption of the
Common Core State Standards
(CCSS) is a major accomplishment for our school district. As
quiet as this adoption might
be to the general public, it will
have a revolutionary effect on
what happens in each of our
classrooms, at every level of
the school system. The CCSS
are the curriculum goals that
guide teachers as they provide
learning experiences for their
students. The new standards
significantly “raise the bar” for
learning, having the effect of
imposing traditional learning
standards at younger age levels
and increasing expectations for
higher level knowledge and
skills. Commensurate with
adoption of the new standards,
the district has adopted new
measurement instruments
(tests), ones that are more
appropriate for evaluating
achievement of the new standards. Thus, taking the place
of the state assessments are the
MAP tests. Once again, this is
a quiet change but a significant

Dear THS Family
TMS Mission:
Every Turner Middle School student and staff member
will actively engage in learning while utilizing
technology, applying knowledge, and developing
skills to become independent, creative problem
solvers in a global society.
One of the highlights for Turner
High School was the presentation
of “Seussical the Musical” by the
THS Drama Department. Pictured
are Horton the Elephant (kneeling), played by Tyler Hill, who is
being “conned” by Mayzie LaBird,
played by Veronica Gervais, into
sitting on her egg for her, giving
him the opportunity to prove that
“an elephant is faithful, 100%.”

A Message from Turner Middle
School Administrative Team
A Message from Turner High School Principal, Paul Colwell, Ed.S.
As we are in the midst of sending out second quarter progress
reports I am starting to think about the close of the first semester as
well as the upcoming second semester by bundling ourselves up
with cold weather in our sights. I hope all of you have a wonderful
Thanksgiving and Winter Holiday season and are able to get some
of the rest and relaxation that you so deserve.
I want to take this time to remind you of a few important upcoming events as we look to towards the end of the first semester
and into the second semester.
1. First Semester Finals are scheduled for December 15th and
16th.
2. Winter Break is scheduled from December 21st – January 6th
with students returning to school on January 7th.
3. Parent/Teacher conferences are scheduled for Wednesday,
February 13th from 4pm-7pm and Thursday, February 14th
from 8am-8:00pm. At this time we encourage you to come
and visit with your student’s teachers. This year, much like
what we have done in the past, we will also be conducting
2013-2014 enrollment at the same time as conferences. Please
stop by the appropriate enrollment room and make sure
your student is enrolled for next year – information will be
available at THS.
4. Financial Aid Night for Seniors and Juniors looking to go
on to college will be on Wednesday, February 13th from
5pm-7pm in the auditorium. A financial aid representative
from a local college will be in attendance to answer all of
your questions.
In addition to all of the above activities, Turner High School
freshman, sophomores, and juniors will begin taking the Kansas
State Assessments in January, February, March, and April in the
subjects of Reading, Math, World History, Life Science, Physical
Science, and Writing.
The Kansas Assessments are given to ensure that all students are
meeting the curricular expectations set by the Kansas State Board
of Education (KSBE). The items on the test broadly represent the
knowledge students are expected to have mastered in each subject.
Before the testing weeks, please encourage your students and
reinforce the importance of these assessments. The scores they earn
become part of each student’s cumulative record. The scores on
the assessments also play a key role in determining whether the
school maintains its current level of excellence and accreditation.
It is also very important that during this testing period your student should receive adequate rest and sleep as well as a balanced
and nutritional breakfast prior to the school day beginning.
We appreciate your help and support through the weeks of assessments and in helping and supporting to prepare your student
for success.
Thank you
and GO BEARS!!!

Turner Middle School Families:
The 1st semester of the 2012/2013 school year is coming to a close, and we are very proud of our
accomplishments. We have had an outstanding semester with success abounding in academics
and activities. As we have had the opportunity to review our progress during the 1st quarter, we
are proud to report the following:
4
4
4
53% of students made the honor roll during quarter 1
Over 63% or 386 students had A’s, B’s & C’s and no behavior referrals during
the 1st quarter
Increased participation in clubs, activities and enrichment opportunities
We look forward to the results of our data for the rest of the year. As we continue to show
success with our seminar program we have focused on two key elements during our Thursday
seminar. During the first quarter we developed and implemented our anti-bullying curriculum
to engage students in appropriate behavior. In the second quarter, we focused on community
service and supported multiple local organizations including:
4
United Way
4
Hand in Hand
4Harvesters
4
Wyandotte Homeless Coalition
4
Hats off for Cancer
We look forward to starting our career development program in quarter three. This will give
students the opportunity to take interest inventories as well as understand career opportunities
and the skills and abilities needed to be successful in their chosen career. We are also developing a career fair for students to help share real life experiences from professionals in a variety of
career fields.
We have worked during the second quarter to develop and give our students an added opportunity to improve and make up academic work. Teachers and support staff stay after school
for academic enrichment in all areas on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 2:35 – 3:45.
We have also added Math enrichment and English enrichment after school to provide extra
enrichment in these two core areas. Students have the opportunity to ride the late bus when
enrichment has finished for the day. Please help us keep your student organized and on task by
checking their planner and parent portal weekly.
It has been a great school year thus far, and we look forward to our continued success during
the 2nd semester. As we begin the 3rd quarter we continue our 8th grade boys’ basketball season and look towards the start of our 7th and 8th grade track season during the 4th quarter. We
appreciate your continued support of our athletic, academic and fine art activities throughout
the school year. It has been a great 1st semester for the TMS Golden Bear Family and we look
forward to our continued success for the coming semester.
Sincerely,
TMS Adm. Team

A Message from Turner Sixth Grade Academy Principal Miranda Hoit
Hoit’s Highlights
Dear Bulldog Families,
December has been a busy month for students and parents! We
wrapped up our Dogs Donate & Care Food Drive and donated
items to Harvesters, watched our Bulldog Beat and Band students
shine during their holiday concerts at Crown Center, the Legends, and TSGA, as well as observed the collaboration and hard
work of some of our Top Dogs pay off as they presented “Focus
on Learning” at the December 4th Board Meeting. Academically
students are engaged in their projects, and continue to work hard to
complete assignments and projects on time as well as stay organized in
order to be prepared and work efficiently class to class. Students completed the Math, Reading,
and Language MAP Assessments during the month of December; we are extremely proud of
their efforts and have seen many students meet and exceed goals. Words cannot convey how
exciting it is to receive emails from students or students and teachers stop me in the hall to share
their growth! If you walk into TSGA you will see a MAP Winter Wonderland, with colorful
snowflakes glistening in the halls. On each snowflake students wrote positive statements such
as “I can do it,” “I met my goal,” or “I’m working towards my goal,” for each assessment. Like
snowflakes, students are unique. Scientists say there are no two snowflakes alike and as educators
we know each child’s personalities, learning styles, childhood experiences, dreams and many
more qualities are unique, thus we must use these unique qualities to drive our practices and
help students meet and exceed goals. The snowball effect of the MAP Winter Wonderland has
been positive and powerful for many students and going into the New Year knowing students
believe in themselves is one of the greatest gifts we can ask for.
On a serious note, I know in response to the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut some of you
have inquired, and many I am sure have wondered, about a crisis plan in place at TSGA. I want
you to know we absolutely have a Crisis Management Plan in place, and after the winter break
we will practice our plan and communicate with students plans are in place to make sure students
are safe. Student learning and safety are of the utmost importance and I know every adult in this
building takes both seriously. I believe we are taking all the necessary steps to ensure their safety
and want everyone to know your child is being cared for and is safe while at school. Our hearts
go out to the families in Newtown and I pray we never witness an event like this in our own
community. Student Council members organized a green and white ribbon day to show respect
and remembrance of those whose lives were taken. I was moved by our students’ response and
know while we often hear about the bad there is a lot of good to celebrate in our world.
Going into third quarter we are moving full speed ahead to “Inspire a Generation” of Top
Dogs! Over the winter break I encourage students to cuddle up with a good book and read.
Students will have the opportunity to complete Reading Counts quizzes when they return from
the break and many have met their goal and are showing off their RC t-shirt, “Get your Paws on
a Good Book!” When we return from the break we will celebrate students’ successes during the
Awards Recognition seminar dates. Also, students who have earned C’s or better and have no
office referrals will get to celebrate during the second quarter Bulldog Break sponsored by PTSA.
Moving into 3rd quarter, and to prepare students for middle school expectations, bus referrals
will count as a Bulldog Break qualification. Every student gets a fresh start third quarter to meet
and exceed goals; I encourage you to talk to your child about persevering, and following up on
their goals to help them achieve them.
Please note your calendars with the following, and look for more details to come home from
the office or your child’s teacher.
• Open House Spring Conferences
O February 13th (4:00-7:00)
O February 14th (8:00-8:00)
I wish each of you a safe and special holiday with your family. I also look forward to spending
time with my children and making holiday memories. I am overjoyed with the progress our
Bulldogs have made first semester and I commend the students and the teachers for their hard
work and effort to open this building and be able to share in the many successes we have experienced thus far. We are all looking forward to 2013 and creating more memories, overcoming
challenges, and celebrating student success.

Mrs. Miranda Hoit
Being the primary pilot school for the one-to-one iPad project,
Turner Sixth Grade Academy (TSGA) was particularly excited to
host their “iShare Night” this fall. At this event, parents were
invited to view and participate in the numerous technology
projects their students had created by second quarter with their
individually-assigned iPads. Teachers and administrators were
the hosts, but the night belonged to the students who conducted
their guests through various projects, giving demonstrations, and
explaining “how it works.” IShare Night was truly a pilot event
that paved the way for many similar nights in the future as the
new Five-Year Technology Plan is implemented in 2013-14.

CHILD FIND
Screening and General
Education Intervention
Child Find in Kansas involves a screening process for
children from ages 3 to 5, and a general education intervention process for children from kindergarten through age
21. Schools in conjunction with parents use these processes
to locate, evaluate, and identify children who may need
special education and related services. Children in need
of special education services should be identified as young
as possible, and also as soon as possible after the concern
is noted. The earliest possible identification of education
or behavioral concerns will diminish the impact of the
concerns on the child’s education.
If you are a resident of the Turner School District and have
a child between the ages of 3 and 5 that you have concerns
about their progress, you may call for an appointment. To
make an appointment, call Special Services at 913-288-4182.

Lynnette Hatfield, Principal
Dear Endeavor Families,
With the first semester of the 2012-2013 school year coming to an end, we have the great opportunity to plan for and build upon the great things that have occurred. With our after-school,
academic enrichment program, students are afforded the time to complete or make-up work,
as well as take an on-line course, for credit recovery. We have watched as the number of low
or failing grades has decreased, student confidence increases, and student academic strength
is fortified. This allows for a sense of accomplishment in the students as they continue to earn
the credits that are needed as they move towards their goal of high school graduation.
The semester continued with great occasions for students to be recognized for achievement and
marked effort at EHS. The 2012-2013 Student Leadership Team (SLT) has been established and
is well under way. Students were nominated to be a part of this team by the staff, based upon
the expectations within the Code of Conduct in the student handbook. The SLT members meet
with Ms. Stump and Mrs. Barackman to work together to find ways in which to increase student
involvement within the school, district and community. Another exciting student-honoring
system we have in place is the Student of the Week initiative. Each week, a student is chosen as
a representative of the amazing students we have at Endeavor. These students, Alicia Ledesma
(8th), Alfonso Reyes (12th), Ryan McFarland (12th), and Andrew Ibanez (9th), Diane Hernandez
(11th), Alyssa Garcia-Valenzuela (12th), Tatiana Smith (12th), and Iliana Campa-Tavera (11th)
represent the qualities, of a Student of the Week, with excellence! Thank you for partnering with
us as we move through the year and “Inspire a Generation” of learners at Endeavor.
Message from the Principal
Midland Trail Elementary, Principal Lynnette Hatfield
To the Parents of the Students of Midland Trail Elementary
With so much important testing going on during the second semester, I want to offer the following
information that might help you help your student be successful.
Test Time: Is Your Child Ready?
Study Buddies!
Among the numerous community service activities provided
by the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) at Turner Middle
School is a program whereby the middle school students
adopt a Study Buddy at Midland Trail Elementary. Each
month the middle school students travel to the elementary
school where they spend some quality time with their Study
Buddy, providing a valuable mentoring relationship for the
younger students. Above, eighth grader John Cox offers
support to his Buddy, Markel Harvey, as he works through
a mathematics project.
As many of you are aware, we assess students in reading and mathematics in grades 3 through
8, and once in high school. Additionally, we will be assessing students in the area of science in
grades 4 and 7, in history/government in grades 6 and 8, writing in grades 5, 8 and 11, and in
both science and history/government, once in high school usually after completion of specific
high school courses.
The Kansas State Assessments are what Kansas uses to determine whether or not a student meets
standards in the specific areas tested. It also provides teachers with one part of the picture regarding
a child’s strengths and weaknesses. These results combined with other tools—such as evaluating
day-to-day class work, grading homework, observing in the classroom and keeping track of how
students change and grow throughout the year—are all used to measure a child’s progress and assist
teachers in gaining insights into the skills, abilities and knowledge of every child. Additionally,
these assessments assist parents and educators in finding out how much students have learned
relative to the Kansas Academic Standards. Generally, Midland Trail students will take part in the
assessments within February 26th through April 19th.
To help students prepare for the upcoming assessments and to reduce their anxiety, the following
tips are offered:
• Encourage children to take these tests seriously. However, don’t become too anxious about
a child’s test score; too much emphasis on a test score can be upsetting. Additionally, test
scores are not perfect measures of what a child can do.
• Have the child get a good night’s sleep.
• Ensure they are well-rested and have eaten a good breakfast as both are important to test-taking just as they are to other school work.
• Have the child look quickly at the entire assessment to see what types of questions are included. This also helps children understand how to pace themselves.
• Stress the importance of reading the directions carefully and reading each question carefully.
Additionally, if the child doesn’t understand the question, he or she should ask the teacher
to explain.
• Ask the child to give their best guess instead of leaving questions unanswered.
Of course, the most important thing for all students to remember is to simply do their best! By
encouraging and praising them for things they do well, they will feel good about themselves and
will do their best.

To Turner Elementary Patrons:
Happy New Year! It is great to be back at Turner Elementary
and witness all of the wonderful learning taking place. I was
on maternity leave the past few months. My husband and I
welcomed a healthy baby girl, Reese, last October. I missed
the TE Cub community! I am looking forward to a fabulous
2nd semester.
Recently, fourth and fifth grade students were fortunate to
participate in a program through Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (FINRA), Operation Hope. Operation Hope provides
a curriculum that teaches students the life skill of managing
money. The students review banking and budgeting, checking
and savings accounts, the power of credit and basic investments
in a few , short lessons. It brought learning to life for students.
The week before winter break, our pre-K and kindergarten
classes had a very special visitor. Santa, accompanied by Mrs.
Claus made an appearance at Turner Elementary. They brought
presents and holiday cheer to our students. The students
thanked them by singing a few holiday carols.
All students at Turner Elementary take the MAP (Measures
of Academic Progress) test in the fall, winter and spring. This
test assesses students in reading, math and language usage.
The test helps teachers know students’ instructional levels. We
are very proud to announce that so far students in grades 2-5
have completed the winter reading test and every classroom
has experienced an increase in scores. We believe this is due
to student and staff dedication to education. The students will
take the MAP test again in late April. I am excited to see even
more student growth.
Turner Elementary hopes you had a restful and enjoyable
holiday break. We have a lot more learning and fun to look
forward to in 2013.

Jay Douglas, Principal
From the Desk of Principal Jay Douglas
Dear Oak Grove Patrons,
It has been a busy first semester at Oak Grove,
but now it has come to an end. Students have
been finishing up MAP testing before break.
We have had fund raisers, classroom parties for
Fall/Winter, Winter Concerts for grades 2-5, and
will be returning in the new year continuing to
use the new Common Core Curriculum and
getting ready for State testing.
We finished the Measure of Academic Progress
(MAP) testing before we left for break. Students
in all grades take these tests. Your child’s progress in Reading, Math, and Language will be
shared with you in the near future. The MAP
tests can be used to follow a student’s growth
from year to year. Your child is encouraged
to take their time on this test just like the state
assessments. The MAP test is designed so no
child will get every answer correct. As your
child takes the test, the questions get tougher as
correct answers are given. Using these results,
we are able see if your child is working on grade
level.
The PTA has recently completed a fundraiser
with Candy Bar/Trash Bag sales. They also conducted Santa Shoppe, offering the opportunity
for your child to buy gifts. The PTA helped with
snacks for the fall and winter parties as did many
individual parents. The student council has done
a couple of candy gram days too. The whole
school will again be selling the EFG fundraiser
cards in January. These are the discount cards for
various restaurants in the area. As we do every
year, we have collected donations for the United Way, a project that involved both students and
teachers. We are planning on doing a “Pennies
for Patients” fundraiser in February. Thank you
all for helping with all of these different things
and knowing it is a tough time of year.
Our music teachers conducted two nights
of winter music concerts for grades 2-5. Both
nights were well-attended, as everyone likes
to hear the kids sing and watch them play instruments. The songs are multicultural and go
along with our building theme, too. Students
seem to enjoy showing new skills or songs they
have learned.
The last Board of Education meeting before
the break, we made a presentation about the
learning going on at Oak Grove. Each grade
level was a part of the presentation, showing
a different activity or lesson completed during
the year. Each grade level had student participants either by video or in attendance at the
meeting. We tried to tie the school wide theme,
“A World’s Worth of Learning”, with the time
of the year. The Polar Express movie played a
part in the presentation as we demonstrated the
use of technology, higher order thinking skills,
and fidelity to the (new) curriculum. All of us
had fun participating in the evening.
With the second semester upon us, let’s
finish the year on positives. The state testing
will begin at the end of February and continue
into April. A schedule will be coming to you
announcing specific test dates. Conferences for
the semester will be taking place in February
too. Before you know it, spring break will
be here and we will be within one quarter of
finishing the year.
As always, thank-you for all you have done
this year for Oak Grove. We hope our communication with you about your child and the
different events conduct has been of help. If you
have questions, please call. If you would like
to be a Watch Dog Dad, we have plenty of days
available when you can come and be a part of
your daughter or son’s day.
McTeacher Night!
One
of
the
school-business partnerships that thrives
in the Turner community is the bond
between the local
McDonalds restaurant and Oak Grove
Elementary school.
Twice each year, the
McDonalds hosts
McTeacher Night and
“turns the store over”
to Oak Grove for an
evening, giving the
school a cut of the
profits that come
in during that time.
School representatives decorate the
restaurant and help
with some of the dinnertime chores, while the store is packed with Oak Grove patrons wanting to
donate to the cause. The school routinely garners several hundred dollars as a result of this event,
money that is used to support student extra-curricular activities and field trips. Enjoying their time
at McTeacher Night are second grader Kendra Bullock and long-time school volunteer Mabel Shutt.

Marsha Chapin, Supervisor
One can’t listen to a news-oriented radio show or read
a newspaper these days without running into an article
lamenting the plight of overweight or obese children. The
Center for Disease Control shares statistics that are alarming
in this regard. It has published information on its website
revealing the dramatic increase in the number of children,
ages six to eleven, who are obese. From 1980 to 2008, nearly
thirty years, the percent of obese children in this age range
has gone from 7% to 20%. The same time span has seen
obese adolescents, ages twelve through nineteen, increasing from 5% to 18%. The CDC goes on to declare that in
2008 more than one third of children and adolescents were
either overweight or obese. Among the institutions that are
expected to respond to this alarming trend in obesity is the
public school system. When a social problem is identified
involving school-age children, public schools are often called
upon to take the lead in resolving the concern. This has
never been more obvious than with the issue of childhood
obesity. Logically, one segment of the school system that can
most directly address childhood obesity is the school lunch
program. Thus, in the summer of 2012, an extensive set of
new school meal requirements was initiated by the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Seldom is an institutional change invoked that creates
as much reaction, if not backlash, as did the changes to the
school lunch program at the beginning of this school year.
Students, parents and teachers could be heard bemoaning the
perceived reduction in the amount of food offered students
compared to previous school years. Without question, a
re-education about the role and expectations of school-based
meals was in order. This was no simple task, considering
the extensive changes implemented in conjunction with the
beginning of the school year. As an example of the complexity and depth of the changes, the following description was
supplied by the USDA:
“…menus must be developed to include specific foods
ranging from grain products considered “whole grain-rich”
to vegetables of certain colors, nutrient analyses must be
conducted to ensure that not only are the prescribed foods
offered in the serving sizes required by that calories and
saturated fat are also held within prescribed limits. The
new meal pattern is food based and requires minimum and
maximum calories averaged over a typical school week.
There are maximum levels of saturated fat. Trans fat has
been eliminated altogether. Each menu must be prepared
with different requirements for the grade groups K-5, 6-8
and 9-12. K-5 and 6-8 can be combined due to an overlap on
minimum/maximum average calories for the week.”
All of these changes boil down to a few essential nutritional
concerns, such as providing for more fruits and vegetables,
reducing sodium, managing the amount of protein provided
in the meal (as addressed by a specified range of calories),
moving toward 100% whole grain offerings, and milk of not
more than 1% fat. The Turner food service department had
to react swiftly to the revised guidelines, altering virtually all
existing meal plans and menus. Particularly challenging was
the fact that the guidelines became effective in the middle of
the summer, when none of the staff was present. Thus, little
time was allowed for the changes to be implemented in the
schools’ cafeterias. In spite of the abruptness of the changes,
they appear to have been made successfully. Complaints
have diminished and the overall health of our students will
be improved as they learn to appreciate the benefits of eating
healthy through school-based child nutrition programs.
How Students Can
Master Test Taking
(NewsUSA) - Although educators and administrators continue to debate the actual value of tests and examinations, testing
has become an intrinsic part of the American education system.
Neither students nor parents can escape the reality of exams,
and continuing academic success largely depends on managing
test anxiety and learning how to adequately prepare for exams.
But, that’s not the only factor. Doing homework assignments and
participating in class help testing proficiency, too.
“Make sure your child completes homework assignments and
class projects,” says Richard Bavaria, Ph.D., senior vice president
for education outreach at Sylvan Learning (www.SylvanLearning.
com). “Because tests reflect overall achievement, the more effort
your child puts into learning, the more likely he or she will do
well on tests.” Here are some other test-prep tips for both parents
and students from Dr. Bavaria:
* Know the target. Make sure that you understand exactly
what is being assessed, how it is being assessed (types of
questions) and how it will be graded. * Use a study process.
Test preparation and studying should be an ongoing process. Ideally, students should spend 15 minutes per night
studying content from each school subject, in addition to
any nightly homework.
* Use strategies to manage test anxiety. A little test anxiety
can be helpful, but too much can have an adverse effect
on test performance. In order to manage test anxiety, make
sure to be prepared, and use breathing and visualization techniques to work
through the process.
* Follow test instructions.
While taking a test, make
sure to pay close attention
to test- and question-specific instructions. Circle
key words to make sure
that all responses/answers address all parts of the question. When in doubt,
ask the teacher to clarify.
* Use a process to organize schoolwork and a study area.
Being organized helps students access all materials when
they are needed. A clean, quiet study area also helps students focus.
* Support learning preferences. Identify learning preferences, whether auditory, tactile or visual. Keep them in mind
when studying to help with difficult subjects.
* Use appropriate strategies to address different question
types. Knowing what types of questions will be on the
test helps determine what and how students should study.
Find out what kinds of questions will be used, be it multiple-choice, short-answer, true/false, matching or essays,
and prepare appropriately.
Preparing to enter the field through the spirit squad gauntlet and
take on the Lansing Lions football team, the Turner Bears assemble
for last minute instructions. The Bears won the game 25 – 13.

for 2013 are (l – r) Alicia Johnson, Elena Marquez, Emily Ray, Ryan Ellis and Megan Culey.
Silence is Never the Answer to Change
by Alicia Johnson
Debate has been one of my passions since seventh grade. The reason I like debate so much is
because it is a way for my voice to be heard. It is a way to exercise my freedom of speech. The
“Freedom of Speech” is one of five freedoms in the First Amendment of the Bill of rights. Sadly,
however, it seems like other people seem to forget that this freedom even exists
We remain silent as our nation goes through a war with itself as well as with other countries.
As Martin Luther King Jr. once eloquently said, “It is time for all people of conscience to call upon
America to return to her true home of brotherhood and peaceful pursuits. We cannot remain silent as our nation engages in one of history’s most cruel and senseless Wars. During these days
of human travail, we must encourage creative dissenters. We need them because of the thunder
of their fearless voices will be the only sound stronger than the blasts of bombs and the clamor of
war hysteria.” I agree with Dr. King’s quote because we need to stop relying upon violence to get
our point across. If we look back on our nation’s history, the underlying outcome of violence has
been this: more debt, innocent lives lost, hatred from other countries and other countries reduced
solve our problems and start words, our voices to rubble. It is time to stop using weapons of mass
destruction to using what is really the world’s most powerful weapon, our voices
When you are in a debate round, you have a partner. If we win, we win together. If we lose, we
lose together. I say this because this fight will take more than one person. We could win this fight
if we learn to work together and form not only partnerships, but a brotherhood.
Twenty years from now, or even tomorrow, if we look back on the history of our nation and find
something wrong; will we be able to say that we tried our absolute best to fix what we knew was
wrong? Or, will we be sitting back watching as our nation further crumbles into bits and pieces.
Let us talk about these two outcomes. The first outcome will be that of putting our right to “Freedom of Speech” to good use. It will be us using our voices and making them much louder than
the “blasts of bombs”. It will be us using our voices to say that we will not take it anymore. The
second outcome will be the product of us doing what we are doing now. What we are doing right
now is sitting back and watching pieces of legislature being passed that violate the Constitution
as well the Bill of Rights. We are sitting back and watching our nation’s governmental actions
knowing that they are wrong, but not willing to voice the fact that they are wrong and threaten our
common moral beliefs. If we keep continuing what we do now, whom do we have to blame in the
end? Should we blame the government for not working in the way a true democracy is supposed
to work… for the people? No. The only people we should blame are ourselves. We should blame
ourselves for not standing up for what we know is right in our hearts. We should blame ourselves
for allowing unjust laws to rule us instead of our morals and conscience.
Silence has never solved anything. Why did racial segregation end? It is because brave such as
Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and James Farmer Jr. used their voices to change. Why did
women finally get the right to vote in 1920? It is because millions of women used their voices to
make a change. If we stay silent, we will betray ourselves. We will betray this country. We will
betray the people that fought so hard for our right to “Freedom of Speech”. It will be as if we are
disregarding all of the hard work that these people have done to make things right. It is time for
us to follow their example. We have a duty to this nation, and that is using our voice to restore the
U.S. back to the greatness that is once was. There is a reason that the Constitution of the United
States starts as “We the People”. We need to take back that definition because we are the ones that
truly decide how the government runs. We are the ones that decide if we have a better tomorrow.
If we make our voices louder than the sound of war, then change will come.

BOARD UPDATES for OCTOBER 2012 – JANUARY 2013
October 2, 2012:
Following routine opening
agenda activities, the Board
reviewed and approved revisions to the job descriptions for
General Paraprofessionals and
for SPED Paraprofessionals, as
presented by Assistant Superintendent for Administrative
Services Bill Hatfield. In the
amount of $27,998, the Board
approved the purchase and
installation of a Hobart Dish
Machine at Turner Elementary,
as proposed by Food Service
Supervisor Marsha Chapin. On
this same day, “A Day Made
Better” presentation was made
to Turner Elementary First
Grade Teacher Peggy Kooser.
The presentation to Kooser
included a substantial amount
of classroom supplies provided
by the Office Max company,
requiring the approval of the
Board of Education, which it
gave through this agenda item.
Following routine closing agenda items, including approval
of proposed personnel actions
from the HR department, the
Board adjourned this rather
brief first meeting of October.
October 16, 2012:
During the “comments from
the public” phase of the Board
meeting, it heard from Amy
Thomas, Coordinator of Wyandotte County Homeless
Services Coalition, about the
upcoming (Third Annual) PJ
Day in WYCO, which is a funding raising effort to support
homelessness in Wyandotte
County. (As evidenced by a
later item in this newsletter,
the District did support the
event.) Also addressing the
Board during the “Public Comment” segment of the agenda
was Caitlin Curtis, Fundraising Coordinator for Hillcrest
Transitional Housing of KS.
The monthly update to the
Board from Turner Recreation
Commission was delivered by
Daniel Soptic, TRC Commissioner. The October “Focus
on Learning” presentation was
made by representatives of
Midland Trail Elementary, lead
by principal Lynnette Hatfield.
Bill Hatfield, who serves on the
Juvenile Corrections Advisory
Board for Wyandotte county)
requested and received permission to attend the “National
Conference on Bullying” in
Orlando, Florida, in February
2013. Additional approval for
out-of-state travel was granted
to Superintendent Michelle
Sedler in order to attend the
National School Board Association Conference in San Diego,
CA in April and the AASA Conference in Los Angeles, CA in
February. Approval for a team
from the Special Services Department to attend the “Special
Education Law Conference”
in Omaha, NE was granted by
the Board. Finally, Elly Morris,
District Homeless Liaison, was
approved to attend a conference hosted by the National
Association for the Education
of Homeless Youth in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on October 29 & 30, 2012. In matters
other than travel, the Board
approved rental of Memorial
Hall in Kansas City, KS for the
purpose of holding the 2013
graduation ceremony on May
14, 2013. Further action found
the Board approving two separate requests for early graduation from Turner students,
both of which will have met the
required prerequisites prior to
the traditional graduation date.
After a highly productive meeting and completion of routine
closing agenda items, the Board
adjourned.
November 6, 2012:
Highlighting the Board meeting on November 6th was
presentation of the Champion
Award recipients for October,
those being Joyce Pack from the
Human Resources Department
and Michael Bates, and ELL
teacher at Junction Elementary. Following the Champion
Award recognitions, the Board
acted to approve requested
revisions to the job description
for “Facility & Grounds Assistant.” It then proceeded to
approve a request from Special
Services Director Deb AyersGeist for out-of-state travel for
a team to attend the 27th National Training Institute in Los
Angeles, CA in late November
2012. The First Quarter Update
of the 2012/13 Strategic Plan
was presented to the Board by
Superintendent Sedler. Finally,
action on non-routine agenda
items found the Board approving a student request for early
graduation, having met all
requirements in advance of the
final semester of the 2012/13
school year.
November 20,2012:
In anticipation of the approaching Thanksgiving holiday, the Board met for an abbreviated agenda, addressing
only items required to approve
monthly expenditures and personnel actions.
December 4, 2012
Due to the timing of the
upcoming winter holidays,
the Board only met once in
December. At this meeting, the
Board began its hefty agenda
by recognizing the November
recipients of the District Champion Award, which were Ana
Keith, Second Grade Teacher at
Oak Grove Elementary and Cecilia Stump, a first year teacher
at Endeavor Alternative High
School. Following the recognition ceremonly, the Board
received a “Focus on Learning” report from the Turner
Sixth Grade Academy. As one
might anticipate, the TSGA
being the pilot program for the
District’s one-to-one (mobile
Like us on Facebook
(Turner USD #202)

computer device) program, the
presentation focused on student use of technology in their
classrooms. After receiving
an affirmative audit report on
the FY12 Financial Audit, the
Board addressed a number of
actions proposed through the
Student Services Department,
approving: the transfer of
funds for expired scholarship
programs to the Turner Foundation scholarship account,
requests from two students
to graduate early (prior to the
normal graduation date of their
assigned class), an up-dated
curriculum rotation schedule
covering 2012 – 2019, addition
of a Spanish I language course
for 8th grade students at Turner
Middle School (all 7th graders
currently take “Introduction
to World Languages”, the purchase of fourteen iPad mini’s
to be allocated to Kindergarten
and First Grade ESL classes,
and the proposed Five-Year
Technology-Rich Classroom
Initiative (which had been
given a first read and public
open house in November). In
additional action, the Board
approved a revision to Board
Policy KMKA which had the
effect of directing all Champion Award winners to become
considerations for the annual
Points of Light Award.
January 8, 2013
A special meeting was called
on January 8 to allow the Board
to elect a new president and
vice president as a result of
the passing of Board President
Randy Beery in December.
Elected to fill the president’s
position was Theresa Tillery
(former vice president), resulting in the need to elect
a new vice president, which
was Steve Russell. The empty
position will be filled through
the general election process
in April.
January 22, 2013
As a result of adjusting its
regularly-scheduled meeting
calendar due to calendar issues, the Board met for only
one action agenda in January.
First order of business following routine consent items was
recognition of the Champion
Award recipients for both December and January. December’s winners were Elizabeth
Yang, a paraprofessional at
Midland Trail Elementary, and
Sally Davidson, a paraprofessional at Oak Grove Elementary. For January, the Champions

Share the Bear Program is
Recipient of AT&T Contribution
Share the Bear, a Kansas City-based charitable organization,
spearheaded by Turner High School alumnus and current Unified Government Commissioner Angela Robinson Markley, has
received a $5,000 contribution from AT&T to support its Youth
Ambassador program and redevelopment in the Highland Crest
neighborhood.
“Share the Bear is a critical part of improving afflicted neighborhoods in Kansas City,” said Share the Bear Board Member
and State Representative Stan Frownfelter. “Support for our
programs goes a long way toward making the entire state of
Kansas stronger.”
The Youth Ambassador program is an established program
in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The program is a collaboration of community partners who join forces to implement a
state-of-the-art summer work program for under-served youth.
Aimed at combating negative peer influences, Youth Ambassadors are hired to explore their communities through digital
photography, documentary production, writing, art historical
references and intimate interviews. Their work culminates in
an end-of-summer showcase where their work is showcased to
the Kansas City community.
“This program supports the educational goals of some of our
most at-risk students and cultivates young leaders that will influence our community for decades to come,” said Share the Bear
President Markley. “We greatly appreciate AT&T’s support.”
The contribution also supports Share the Bear’s other program
initiative, specifically the redevelopment of the Highland Crest
neighborhood. Because educational concerns are so deeply
impacted by poverty, blight and crime, the correlation between
educational performance and neighborhood issues cannot be
ignored. By focusing on Turner Unified School District’s most
blighted neighborhoods, namely Highland Crest, Share the Bear
aims to build a strong foundation in supporting and promoting
under-served youth.
“We are proud to be part of this holistic approach to supporting young Kansans who are most in need,” said AT&T Kansas
President Steve Hahn.
An award celebration at Turner High School on January 25
commemorated a boon for Turner High School and, specifically,
for the Share the Bear program. It was at this ceremony that
representatives of AT&T turned over a $5000 check to Share the
Bear President Angela Robinson Markley to be used to support
two Share the Bear initiatives, those being the Youth Ambassador
program and the Highland Crest Revitalization project. Pictured

Do You Have a Baby or a Toddler?
Then We Have an Award-Winning
Parenting Program for You!!!
Babies are born to learn! As a parent, you are your child’s first and best teacher! According to the latest brain research findings, the first three years of life are an amazing
time of growth and change in a baby’s brain. Your baby will learn more during this
time than any other period of life! In fact, the experiences your baby has during early
childhood lay the foundation for all his later learning!
The Turner School District would like to invite your family to joint the Parents as
Teachers’ Program. PAT is an internationally-recognized program for families who have
children between the ages of birth and thirty-six months. The program, offered at no
cost to families, is designed to assist and support parents in giving their child the best
possible start in life! Services include personal visits, informational group meetings, family events, play groups and developmental screenings. During monthly personal visits,
you will learn practical and fun ideas for encouraging your child’s development. You
will also have the opportunity to discuss any questions that you may have concerning
your child’s development with a certified parent educator.
This voluntary program may begin before the birth of your baby and continue until
your child turns three years old. English and Spanish-language parent educators are
available. For more information or to enroll, call 288-4197.

Curriculum and Assessment Changes
Create a New Vision for the District
By Dr. Michelle Sedler, Superintendent
Teaching and Learning is the
heart of every well-organized
school system. Essential to this
organization is a clearly-stated
curriculum describing what
students at each level should
know and be able to do as they
successfully complete their
respective level of instruction.
This same curriculum is the
standard that guides teachers
as they implement their teaching practices. Toward this end,
in May 2012, the Turner Board
of Education unanimously
passed a motion to fully implement a curriculum aligned
to the Kansas Common Core
State Standards (CCSS) beginning with the 2012-13 school
year. This fact, in conjunction with the Kansas State
Department of Education’s
development of related state
assessments means the time
has come to let go of the previous Kansas Standards, which
until now have been the basis
for our local curriculum. Since the inception of No
Child Left Behind in 2002,
our district has been highly
focused on the outcomes of
the Kansas State Assessment,
specifically, performance levels necessary for making AYP. Additionally, we continue to
strive to reach the “Standard
of Excellence” award given
annually by the Kansas State
Department of Education. The result of that focus has
been exceptional growth for
individual students, buildings,
and the district as a whole. We
have become very good at analyzing student performance
data and adjusting instruction
to meet the needs of all learners. However, even though we
are still required by the Kansas
Flexibility Waiver to give the
[state] assessment measuring
the previous standards, our
focus must now be on the new
Turner Bullseye documents
and curriculum maps that
have been created throughout
the past several months, based
on the CCSS. Consequently,
we will officially measure
our student/program growth
in math and language arts
through the MAP and ACT
assessments until the new
Kansas assessments are established. We know our students
are performing lower than the
norm on these assessments and
considerably lower than those
students performing at the
career and college readiness
benchmarks. Therefore, it is
imperative that we maintain
the same resolve to move our
students and ensure success in
their future endeavors.
The implementation of a new
curriculum structure, while
creating targets of achievement
based on the adoption of new
measuring instruments (MAP
and ACT assessments), delineates a new era for our school
district. To some extent, we
have become comfortable in
our old system—old state standards measured by familiar
state assessments. However, it
is important to recognize that
as the world changes, so must
our school system. Through
an interaction among federal,
state and local policies, we are
engaged in such an essential
change, one that can be initially discomforting. However,
we must persist, keeping the
wellbeing of our students in
the forefront. In recent years,
we have been very successful
with our teaching and learning
structure, and I know, with
the energy of our exceptional
teaching staff and supportive
administrators, our success
will continue under this new
structure.

TRC’s Club House Program
Supports Local Latchkey
Children and their Parents
A perennial concern for both parents and schools is how to
manage and care for “latchkey” kids. Latchkey kids are those
students who must return home at the end of the school day to an
empty house, as parents must complete their work day sometimes
hours after the close of the school day. There was a time, many
years ago, when the Turner schools were able to collaborate with
a local service organization to provide childcare before and after
school. However, conditions were such that the program had to
be abandoned and for many years now, no such service has been
available. But this school year, the Turner Recreation Commission
has initiated a before and after school program which offers care
and support for enrolled latchkey students in all Turner elementary schools.
Spearheaded by Andi Gilbertson, TRC Youth and Family Enrichment Director, the Club House program began in conjunction
with the startup of the 2012-13 school year. Gilbertson is quick to
point out that the Club House program is not just a babysitting service. Rather, it is a program that provides character development,
health and nutrition, educational enrichment, physical fitness, and
experiential projects for students from kindergarten through fifth
grade. The before school program begins at 7:00 a.m., while the
after school program runs until 6:00 p.m. Full day programs are
provided on days when school is not in session. Each program
site is well-staffed with a maximum ratio of 1:15, staff to students.
Parents have reported that program fees are very reasonable and
highly competitive with fees for other local childcare options.
In its initial year, the fall enrollment in all four Turner elementary
schools totals 162 students. Gilbertson expects the program to
grow as parents become more familiar with the offerings, setting
a goal of 60 students per site in the coming years. She further indicated that some scholarship opportunities are available through
businesses and individuals who donate to the program. These
“angel donors” can sponsor a student fee or donate supplies for
the program.
The Turner Recreation Center has been a boon to the Turner
community, offering a vast variety of programs to support local
children and adults. The Club House program is one such offering, providing unique support for Turner students who fall into
the latchkey classification.

New Five-Year Technology Plan Prepares
Students to be Leaders of the Future
Proving their power as contenders for the national championship,
Michelle Sedler (second row, third from the right) poses with her
tennis cohorts.
Dr. Michelle Sedler
Inspires a Generation
It’s not often that we have an athlete in our midst that successfully competes at the national level, but in Turner we are sideby-side with such an individual on a daily basis. Dr. Michelle
Sedler, Superintendent of Schools, is not only a highly effective
educational leader, she is a tennis player of very high quality.
She exhibited this by competing in competition at a national
level in Tucson, Arizona, earlier this fall.
Sedler belongs to a tennis team hosted by the Midtown
Athletic Club in Overland Park. Her team participates in
USTA (United States Tennis Association) competition which
elevates through a series of playoff rungs extending all the
way to national competition. This year, Sedler’s team, which
consists of fifteen local athletes, started their climb toward
national competition by winning the Kansas-Missouri Metro
Area tournament. They then went on to qualify by winning the
Heart of America (district) competition and the Missouri Valley
(sectional) competition. Ultimately, as representatives of the
Missouri Valley section, they travelled to Tucson, Arizona, to
compete against other sectional winners. As such, they played
teams representing Maryland (which they won) and losing to
Hawaii, and Tennessee.
The USTA competitive program is categorized by levels ranging from 1.5 to 7.0. (A 7.0 is considered world class, like the
kind of players that compete at Wimbledon.) Sedler entered the
competitive season ranked at 3.5, but as a result of her high level
of play described above, she is now ranked at 4.0. Although this
ranking is both flattering and impressive, she is quick to point
out that the wins will not come quite as quickly or often as she
encounters increasingly skilled opponents at the higher level.
Sedler is no stranger to athletic endeavors having been a
standout athlete in high school in Oklahoma. There she played
tennis and basketball and was a cheerleader. She still has the
letter sweater that displays her high school accomplishments
and was willing to share that for this article. (see accompanying picture) Not only does Sedler continue to participate in
competitive tennis, she also plays golf and swims whenever
her busy schedule allows.
Serving as an outstanding example by continuing to
express her talents through athletics as a busy adult, Dr.
Michelle Sedler has demonstrated a means that one can use to
INSPIRE A GENERATION.

Advances in technology speed by us at a rate most of us can barely keep up with. With this fact
in mind, the Turner Board of Education is faced with a critical challenge. How does the District
prepare its students to be successfully functional in a future world that only the most enlightened
of us can imagine? Factor into that equation the paucity of fiscal resources and the answer to that
crucial question is a struggle to comprehend. However, in spite of that challenge, the Board took a
major step toward its answer when it adopted the “Five-Year Technology Plan” recently proposed
by the central administration.
Foremost in the new Tech Plan is the creation of a one-to-one environment for secondary level
students. This project was piloted this school year
at the newly established Turner Sixth Grade Academy. At the TSGA, every student was assigned
a personal Apple iPad (tablet), which—for the
uninitiated—is a personal, handheld computer.
Although the students were not allowed to take
the devices home at the end of the day, they had
continuous use of (and responsibility for) the device throughout the school day. Virtually every
class discovered creative ways to incorporate the
iPads into its established curriculum, resulting in
two important products. First, as the iPads were
integrated into daily instruction, students skills in
TSGA student demonstrates for his parents his their use were enhanced. Secondly, the opportuniuse of his individually-assigned iPad.
ty to use the iPads in the learning process proved
to be an important student motivator to achieve
established learning goals. After viewing the pilot phase as a success, the program will be extended
through the new Tech Plan.
In the coming school year, the Plan calls for extending the one-to-one (1:1) environment by providing personal iPads to all students at Turner Middle School, to be used much as they have been
at TSGA. By continuing the 1:1 environment at the TSGA, this will mean all 6th through 8th grade
students will have an assigned iPad for daily use during the 2013-14 school year. In the following
year, the 1:1 program will be extended to include all high school-level students, as well. In addition
to gradually moving the 1:1 environment through the upper grade levels, “shared” iPad carts will
be added to the elementary schools in the 2013-14 school year, so that third through fifth grades
will begin to have learning experiences with the iPad device. Then, as funds become available
in the third year of the plan, the elementary schools will qualify for additional shared iPad carts.
In a climate of austere budgets, the proposal was developed to create this innovative enhancement process without adding to the debt level of the district by redirecting existing expenditures
and eliminating purchases that the new program will make obsolete. More details can be viewed
on the District website under the “Board” tab.
We can only guess at the technological skills that successful citizens will need as we proceed
through the 21st Century, making the job of educating potential leaders a challenge. However,
the new Five-Year Technology Plan, without a doubt, will lead the students of Turner in the right
direction for making an impact on their future contributions to society.
