every child. one voice.
President’s Letter
In March, ten members from the 15th District Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
and Kentucky PTA attended the National
PTA Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. While we were there, we learned
about legislation, visited with elected officials, and urged them to safeguard funding
for education. Since this was my first time
to attend the Legislative Conference, it
was very exciting and a little intimidating.
Then I realized that I had been advocating
for my own children for years. One specific example is when our family moved
across the country and our oldest child had
difficulties adjusting to her new school. I
scheduled a conference with my daughter’s teacher and explained that she just
needed a little more time to adjust and
that she would be fine. A few weeks later, my daughter was back to normal and
the teacher agreed that her class placement
was appropriate. I was glad that I had been
an advocate for my child, because another mom who had also recently moved did
not speak up and her child was placed in
a class that did not meet his needs. We are
all valuable contributors in the education
scene. It doesn’t take a college degree or
designer clothes to be an advocate, just a
willingness to speak, in the case of PTA,
for everychild, onevoice.
I want to thank the 15th District PTA
Board members for everything they have
done this school year. It has truly been a
team effort, and all of the work could not
have been completed without their help.
Our board has had a chance to meet and
talk with many of you this year, and you
are a group of dedicated volunteers who
have made a difference in the lives of
many students. Thank you!

Clothing
Assistance Program
Uniforms Needed
The Clothing Assistance Program (CAP)
is in need of used uniforms. Families are
given one new shirt and one new pair of
pants, but we all know that is not enough
to get through the school week. They are
allowed to get two of any type of uniform
item (pants, shorts, skirts, jumpers, and
shirts) from the gently used clothing in the
family room.
PTAs could hold an end-of-the-year uniform drive with some items going to the
school’s Family Resource Center (FRC)
and the remainder to CAP. Be sure to let
the Pony know ahead of time so that the
items get to us in a timely fashion, or
schedule a time to drop them off. Mark the
outside of the box with “uniforms” so we
will know to open those first.
Pants, shorts, skirts, and jumpers can be
khaki/tan, navy, or black. Shirts can be of
any solid color with a collar.
Summer Hours
Volunteer hours for the summer have
not been set. If you and your child or a
group is interested in volunteering, please
contact me to arrange a date and time. Individual students are not able to volunteer.
2012-13 PTA Work Schedule
The schedule for PTAs to volunteer will be
in the June/July Issue.
Yarn Needed
Our wonderful knitters kept us well supplied with hats and scarves this winter, but
they are in need of more yarn. Yarn can be
donated through the Pony or dropped off.
Please be sure to mark it “yarn” so that we

and year-end annual report for accuracy.
• After any errors have been corrected by
the treasurer and the president is satisfied that the financial accounts are
correct, draw a line across the ledger and

review concludes. The committee chair
signs and dates the ledger using a different color ink: “Examined and found

• If all is in order, the review committee
should prepare and sign the financial review form provided. Make copies of
the form for the incoming treasurer and
president. If additional copies are needed, they can be found at www
.kentuckypta.org. The financial review
form must be mailed to Kentucky PTA
and received by August 15 each year, to
remain a unit in good standing.
• The committee must also submit a report
in the event that there are not adequate
records available to conduct a proper
accounting of the PTA/PTSA’s funds.
This report should indicate the information that is needed to complete a proper
review.
If during the financial review the committee has questions or needs assistance,
contact the 15th District PTA at 485-3535.
After (Approval)
The financial review report must be presented at the first general meeting of the
year, must be officially adopted/approved
by the general membership, and must be
included in a completed annual report covering the PTA/PTSA’s entire fiscal year. If
there are questions or concerns about the
validity of the financial review report, the
PTA/PTSA may contact the 15th District
PTA to perform an audit or an independent
CPA may be engaged to conduct an audit.
As always, the entire 15th District PTA
Board and I are here to serve and assist
you. Please don’t hesitate to contact us.

15th District PTA Newsletter
15th District PTA Kentucky Core Academic Standards Team
What an exciting time for the 15th District
PTA Kentucky Core Academic Standards
(KCAS) Team. We were able to send ten
delegates to our National PTA Legislative
Conference in Washington, D.C., March
6 through 8, through our district, our
grant, and the National PTA. We learned
all about legislation, talked to our legislators, and were honored to be asked to do a
presentation.
Cherie Dimar and Sharon Whitworth talked to delegates about the great relationship
that 15th District PTA has with Jefferson
County Public School
(JCPS) District. This relationship has
gone back more than 70 years that included both the Louisville Independent School
System and Jefferson County School System. Even then, both superintendents
believed that parents were a necessary
component for student achievement. They
insisted that all parents must be welcomed
into their buildings. Their belief then and
JCPS’s belief now is that the PTA is the
recognized parent involvement group
in our schools. PTA has always been a
full and trusted partner with our school
system. As our past state and district
president June Key (1975-77) has stated, “Relationships are not handed to you
like an item in a gift bag; relationships are
earned by having respect for the contribution each person makes.”
We continue to provide much valuable information to our parents/caregivers and
our community about the common core
standards. In the last month, we have had
workshops at Jacob, Price, Fairdale, and
Field Elementary Schools. We have educated our community through the Network
Center for Community Change, our Federal Congressmen, and our Metro Louisville
Education council members. We even set
up a booth at the Children’s Fair to provide needed information to parents about
how they can help their child be collegeand career-ready.
As you can see, we are working very hard
to spread the word about KCAS and will
Thanks Exhibitors!
The 15th District PTA
wishes to thank all of
the exhibitors that participated in this year’s
Programs and Fundraising Fair. We appreciate
their support!

Male Involvement Summer Safety Tips
Statistics Confirm the Positive Power
of Father Involvement at School
Students in traditional two-parent families were 43 percent more likely to receive
primarily A grades if their fathers were
highly involved in their schools. Those
whose fathers did not live at home were
43 percent more likely to receive A grades
if their fathers participated in even one activity at school.
Children of highly involved resident fathers were 55 percent more likely to enjoy
school than children with uninvolved fathers. Children of moderately involved
nonresident fathers also were more likely
to enjoy school.
Students in middle and high school were
88 percent more likely to participate in extracurricular activities if their fathers were
highly involved at school.
Students with nonresident fathers who
participated in even one activity at school
were 39 percent less likely to repeat a
grade and 50 percent less likely to experience serious disciplinary problems.

When we think about safety issues for our
children for the summer, we often forget
Mother Nature. As you know from the last
few weeks, we have had some unexpected weather events. Please take the time to
discuss severe weather with your child.
Many times, our kids will be home alone,
so it is extra important to have these discussions. Make sure he or she knows
where the safe places in your home are.
Also, discuss what he or she should do if
he or she is outside and the weather unexpectedly takes a turn for the worse. Does
he or she know what to do if he or she
hears the weather sirens? Make sure your
child takes lightening seriously. You can’t
have a redo of these situations, so better
safe than sorry!
Two Great Web Sites for Parents
The JCPS Web Site: www.jcpsky.net
The National PTA Web Site: www.pta
.org/topic_child_safety.asp
Have you gone to either lately? You may
have heard about or even used the Parent
Portal or the calendar on the JCPS site, but
have you taken the time to check out other
links there? Just click on the Keeping Kids
Safe link. You will find information on alcohol, tobacco, and other drug prevention.
There is info about violence, sexting, inhalants, bullying, dating violence, Internet
safety, and cyberbullying.
It is hard to keep up with everything these
days, but this is a great place to get informed. For example, you probably have
heard of energy drinks and the problems
associated with their overuse by children,
but do you even know the term alcopops?
They are entering the marketplace at an
alarming rate. They appeal to beginning
drinkers, and with the ads being aimed at
youth, it is just another thing we need to
be aware of. Stores are displaying these
two side by side, increasing the possibility
of children acquiring them.
The PTA Web site also has many wonderful programs, including the Bullying:
Connect for Respect Program available
for use at your school. Our national president, Betsy Landers, will talk more about
that program at our Kentucky PTA Convention/Leadership in July. Also, there is
a link to the PTA Resolutions and Position
Statements that will keep you informed.
Visit these two sites often. They do a great
job of keeping parents updated on things
we need to know.
“When I was a kid, we didn’t have all
those fancy car seats, bike helmets, knee
pads, etc., and I turned out ok!”
How many times have we said or thought
that sort of thing? We probably all have.
We wonder how we lived without all the
modern safety equipment available and
sometimes required now. There are the car
seats, seat belts, knee pads, elbow pads,
and helmets we are expected to use for
our children. We may think, “Why should
my child be burdened with using all that
stuff?”
Things have changed. We need to stop a
minute and think—there are many more
cars out there, and cars go faster. Once
upon a time, all those safety tests with
our old friends, the crash dummies, were
not common. I’ll bet some of you remember those old car seats that had hooks that
looped over the cars seats that kids were
put in, you know, the ones with the little
steering wheel and horn or the little colored marble-like things you could play
with on the front of the seat. There was
no real restraint in the car seat or way to
truly fasten the seat to the car. They were
cute and so much easier than the fancy car seats now available and required
for our children. However, just about every day we read about children who lived
through a crash, that if they had been in
one of those old seats, they would have
been thrown right out the window or into
the dashboard! Yes, modern car seats may
seem like a pain to take the time to hook
our children in—not to mention doing it
the correct way—but don’t they deserve
the benefit of all the knowledge these tests
have provided us?
The same goes for the bike helmets, knee
and elbow pads, and other safety paraphernalia recommended and sometimes
required these days. Bikes are so much
faster, and children do so many more
tricks on them. The skateboard parks have
hard concrete that certainly does not allow
for a soft landing!
Sports teams are required to use safety
equipment; shouldn’t our children playing
at home or in the neighborhood have the
same protection? Isn’t it worth it to take
advantage of the safety equipment available today? If one child is saved from a
terrible injury, or even death, I’d say a little inconvenience is worth it! That’s my
opinion, and I’m stickin’ to it!

JCPS Offers Online Support for Reading and Math
Students in grades three through eight
who need additional support in reading
and math now have a wonderful opportunity to enhance their skills. The district
provides access to online support in reading and math through two computer
programs. SuccessMaker and Study Island
are available for online use during the
school day and after school for students in
need of additional instructional time. That
means anywhere at any time!
Students can receive extra support in
reading and math connected to their daily learning at school. Both SuccessMaker
and Study Island offer an engaging, technology-based environment for instruction,
support, and encouragement for those
students who need additional help with
reading and/or math. All a student needs is
access to the Internet in order to take advantage of this resource.
All across the district, students were enrolled in SuccessMaker or Study Island
based on their individual instructional
needs in reading and/or math. Participating students can access these programs via
the Internet by visiting the JCPS homepage at www.jcpsky.net and clicking on
Students at the top of the main screen.
Then the student simply clicks on the link
to Study Island or SuccessMaker. Students
log in with their district-assigned username and password. Parents can contact
their child’s school to find out more information about which program to use and
usernames and passwords.
Additionally, access to SuccessMaker and Study Island is available at many
before-/after-school Learning Place programs across the community. Parents can
visit www.jcpsky.net to find a Learning
Place near their home. If parents do not
have access to a computer or the Internet,
they can call the district’s Volunteer Talent Center at 485-3710. District personnel
will be happy to assist them. We hope parents and students will use this wonderful
opportunity to support students who need
additional support in reading and/or math.
Below is more information about each
program.
SuccessMaker
Study Island
What: SuccessMaker Reading/Math
