SCHOOL REPORT’S – August 25, 2016
GLENWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Welcome back to the 2016-2017 school year. We are so excited to begin the new school
year. I enjoyed seeing several of our teachers this summer, either busy working in our
district summer school programs or learning new strategies at the various workshops
offered.
Staffing News
We are pleased to welcome back some of our veteran teachers: Stacy Gallagher to 4th
grade, and Kate Megahey & Melissa Miller will be joining the 1st grade team. You may
notice some name changes: Lindsi Ciufetelli is now Mrs. Morris and will once again be
our Title I Math teacher. Meghan Whalen is returning as Ms. Coyne, one of our 3rd grade
teachers. We continue to be the same outstanding staff, dedicated to teaching each
student.
Our building underwent a great deal of renovations. We had construction in the K-2 wing,
with the replacement of ceiling and floor tiles. New cabinets were added to our
downstairs classrooms. Our Art Room had a make-over with new cabinets, ceilings and
countertops. Greg Bost, Pat Ragni, Paulette Goolsby and Carl Holland, as well as the
district maintenance crew, have once again worked diligently and prepared our campus
for the start of the school year.
INDIAN LANE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Summer Camps
During the summer months, Indian Lane hosted the Middletown Township Summer
Camp, which included junior and senior campers ages 4-12. Campers experienced arts
and crafts, science activities, and outdoor games at Indian Lane Elementary for six
weeks.
Facilities
Debbie Reischer worked diligently to process all budgetary requests and to update all
communications for the start of the new school year. Joel Schupp and his team
spotlessly cleaned all of Indian Lane Elementary, partnered with contractors on building
projects, and updated room assignments. The RTMSD summer maintenance crew
School Reports

August 25, 2015
beautified our outdoor spaces, including our point of pride: The Norm Kelly Courtyard.
Many thanks to Mrs. Reischer, Mr. Schupp and our facilities and maintenance teams for
preparing Indian Lane for a new school year.
Indian Lane Events
Indian Lane hosted a New Family Breakfast. Students and their families learned about
Indian Lane procedures and points of pride. Student ambassadors took new students
and their families on a scavenger hunt of Indian Lane. Indian Lane welcomes over 20
students in grades 1-5 plus all of our incoming kindergarten students!
Indian Lane Elementary looks forward to a positively successful 16-17 school year!
MEDIA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Summer School
The Title I Summer School program recently completed its four weeks of programming for
students in Grades 3-5. The teachers provided instruction in reading and math. We are
pleased to share that approximately 65 students participated in this summer’s program,
which was highlighted by the students’ Readers’ Theatre presentation.
Building Projects
The entire custodial staff has been working feverishly to ready the building for the arrival
of the new teachers on August 23 and the returning teachers on August 29. The drainage
project is underway along with the playground trimming, fence, and wall project.
Welcome New Staff
Candidate interviews and demonstration lessons were conducted this summer. We
welcomed our long term substitute teacher to RTMSD on August 23. She along with
others has been participating in the RTMSD Induction Program and spending time with
their mentors in preparation for the 2016-2017 school year.
Welcome Back!
The official school year begins with the return of all the K-12 professional staff on August
29. Throughout the week, staff will participate in planned professional development and
faculty meetings, with time to prepare their classrooms for the arrival of students on
September 6.
Open House
On September 1, Media Elementary School invites all Mustang Families to the annual
Open House. Students and their families are invited to visit their classrooms, say “hello”
to their new teachers, and share a smile or two with their special area and former
classroom teachers. The Open House will run from 2:00-3:30 PM on this day.
Additionally, we are hosting orientation sessions for specific students and their families.
September 1, 10:30-11:30: AM Kindergarten Orientation - This orientation is for all
morning Kindergarten students and their families. September 1, 12:45-2:00: New Student
Orientation - This orientation is for students and families in Grades 1-5 who are new to

It’s a GREAT day to be a Media Mustang!
ROSE TREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Summer Recreation Program
The Upper Providence Township Summer Recreational Program was held at Rose Tree
Elementary School from July 11 until August 5, 2016. Approximately 85 kindergarten
through fifth grade students participated in activities that included arts and crafts, drama,
sports, story time, and special event days.
Custodial Staff
The custodial staff at Rose Tree Elementary has done an outstanding job of getting the
building ready for the new school year. Over the course of the summer, an electrical
generator has been installed at Rose Tree Elementary building. It is anticipated that this
project will be completed before the students return in September.

SPRINGTON LAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL
The entire faculty and staff of Springton Lake Middle School are looking forward to
welcoming our students back to school on Tuesday, September 6, 2016. Since school
ended, our team has been working hard to prepare for the new school year. The school
building is sparkling, student schedules have been prepared, events have been planned,
and new and innovative lessons and activities have been designed.
In what has now become a tradition at Springton Lake, we hosted our new sixth grade
students on Tuesday, August 9th and Monday, August 22nd, for “Transition Camp.” The
event included a general session, where both new students and parents learned valuable
information about the sixth grade experience and met key personnel. Following the
overview, parents said good bye to their students for the balance of the morning. Camp
consisted of three interactive workshops led by administrators, teachers, and guidance
counselors. Each session aimed at easing anxieties through positive social-emotional
activities. Next, an expert panel of seventh grade students fielded a wide variety of
questions posed by new sixth graders, wondering about life in middle school. Finally,
everyone enjoyed a picnic barbeque and “get to know you social” to close out Camp. An
orientation breakfast program specifically geared to new 7th and 8th grade students will be

held on Friday, August 26th. Current Springton Lake 8th grade students will serve as tour
guides and answer the new students’ questions about life in our school.
Back to School Night for parents and guardians will be held during the first week of school
on Thursday, September 8, 2016. The event is an opportunity for parents to follow their
child’s class schedule and to experience a typical day in the life of their middle school
student. We look forward to sharing our plans for the year with our parents and families.
While we hope that everyone has had an enjoyable summer, we miss our students very
much and we look forward to welcoming them back to school on September 6th. We are
expecting nothing less than another outstanding year for Springton Lake Middle School!
PENNCREST HIGH SCHOOL
Penncrest High School Named Among Top Schools in the Nation for 2016
Penncrest High School has been named among the top high schools in the nation for
2016 by Newsweek. Only 30 schools from Pennsylvania made the list for 2016.
Penncrest High School is ranked 276th out of 500 schools on the list. Newsweek bases
its rankings on surveys that are sent out to more than 5,000 high schools in the U.S.
Schools that respond to the survey and provide the required information are then
weighted and calculated using several criteria, including one-time graduation rates and
college acceptance rates. Newsweek also factors in the number of students enrolled in
AP, IB or Advance International Certificate courses. A full copy of the report is available
on the Newsweek website. It is the first time Penncrest High School has made it into the
top 500. The last time the school appeared on the list was in 2013, when Newsweek
ranked the top 1500 high schools in the nation. At that time, Penncrest was ranked at
549.
Former Penncrest Coach Michele LeFevre Doyle Selected for National Lacrosse Hall of
Fame
SPARKS, Md. (August 4, 2016) — Michele LeFevre Doyle, former head coach for girls’
lacrosse at Penncrest High School (1983-1987, 1989), has been selected for induction
into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame. The HOF’s Class of 2016 will be officially
inducted in a ceremony on Saturday, September 10, at The Grand Lodge in Hunt Valley,
Md. Tickets are available to the public via online purchase at uslacrosse.org/HOF.
Doyle is being inducted as a “truly great contributor.” Following the conclusion of her
playing career, which included four seasons at West Chester University and a spot on the
U.S. World Cup Team in 1982, she served as a coach, administrator and game
ambassador helping to develop girls’ and women’s lacrosse locally, nationally and
internationally for over 20 years.
Doyle spent 18 years as the Pennsylvania
Interscholastic Athletic Association’s (PIAA) lacrosse representative and chair, and 16
years as the Pennsylvania Central Athletic League’s chairperson. She organized the first
girls’ lacrosse state tournament for the Pennsylvania Keystone Games, and served as the
tournament’s co-director from 1997-2000. Doyle also held a number of active leadership
roles in the United States Women’s Lacrosse Association (USWLA) and conducted
national and international camps and clinics for nearly 20 years to promote the sport. She
was previously inducted into the US Lacrosse Philadelphia/Eastern Pennsylvania
Chapter’s Hall of Fame in 2000.

Title
Naloxone
Number
823
Status
Review
Purpose
Act 139 of 2014 permits an individual in a position to assist a person at risk of opiod
overdose to obtain and administer Naloxone. Naloxone (also commonly known as Narcan or
Evzio) is a medication that can reverse an overdose that is caused by an opiod drug. When
administered, during an overdose, Naloxone blocks the effects of opiods on the brain and
respiratory system in order to prevent death. Naloxone has no potential for abuse and is a
non-narcotic and non-addicting prescription drug.
Authority
Pusuant to Act 139 of 2014, and directive from the Governor of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Secretary
of Health, the Pennsylvania Secretary of Education, and the Pennsylvania Secretary of the Department of
Drug and Alcohol Programs, and as a means of enhancing the health and safety of its students,
staff and visitors, the district may obtain, maintain and administer doses of an opioid antagonist,
specifically Naloxone, for emergency use to assist a student, staff member or visitor believed or
suspected to be experiencing an opioid overdose. The District will store Naloxone at the middle
school and high school levels and provide personnel who possess the training to administer Naloxone. [1]
[2]
Definitions
Drug Overdose- shall mean an acute medical condition, including, but not limited to, severe physical
illness, coma, mania, hysteria or death, which is the result of consumption or use of one or more
controlled substances causing an adverse reaction. An individual's condition may be deemed to
be a drug overdose if a prudent person, possessing an average knowledge of medicine and health,
would reasonably believe that the condition is in fact a drug overdose and requires
'
immediate medical attention. [1]
Naloxone- shall mean a medication that can reverse an overdose caused by an opioid drug. As a
narcotic antagonist, Naloxone displaces opiates from receptor sites in the brain and reverses
respiratory depression that usually is the cause of overdose deaths.
Opiod- shall mean illegal drugs such as heroin, as well as prescription medications used to treat
pain such as morphine, codeine, methadone, oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl, hydromorphone,
and buprenorphine.
Delegation of Responsibility
The Superintendent or designee, in consultation with the school nurse(s) and the school
physician, shall establish appropriate internal procedures for the acquisition, stocking and
administration of Naloxone and related emergency response procedures pursuant to this policy.
The school physician shall be the prescribing and supervising medical professional for the district's
stocking and use of Naloxone. The Superintendent or designee shall obtain a standing order from
the school physician for administration of Naloxone.
The school nurse shall be responsible for building-level administration of Naloxone and
management of Naloxone stocks.
Guidelines
The school nurse shall develop a plan for annually informing all parents/guardians, students and
staff about this policy and specifically:
1.
The availability of Naloxone to treat opioid drug overdoses and what it does;
2.
The symptoms of opioid drug overdoses;
3.
How students and staff should report suspected overdoses;
4.
The protection from criminal prosecution provided by law for persons who report a suspected
overdose using their real name and remain with the overdosing person until emergency medical
services (EMS) or law enforcement arrive, as well as for the person whose overdose they report;
and[1][2.]
5.
The protection from civil liability provided by law for persons who report overdoses or administer
Naloxone in overdose emergencies. [1][2.]
Administration of Naloxone shall not be required in circumstances of unavailability of Naloxone,
unavailability of a qualified Naloxone administrator, and/or uncertainty as to whether an opioid overdose is
occurring, among other reasons. This policy does not create a duty on the part of the Rose Tree Media
School District and/or its personnel to administer Naloxone.
Standing Order From the School Physician
The school physician shall provide and annually renew a standing order for administration of
Naloxone to students, staff members or other individuals believed or suspected to be
experiencing an opioid overdose.
The standing order shall include at least the following information:
1 . Type of Naloxone (intranasal and auto-injector).
2.
Date of issue.
3. Dosage.
4. Signature of the school physician.
The standing order shall be maintained in the Superintendent's office, and copies of the standing
order shall be kept in each location where Naloxone is stored.
Training
Before any school district employee may ha ve custody of Naloxone or administer Naloxone under
this policy, the employee must successfully complete an online Pennsylvania Department of Health
training program about recognizing opioid-related overdoses, administering Naloxone and
promptly seeking medical attention for drug overdoses. Evidence that such training has been
completed shall be placed in the employee's personnel file.[2][3]
A list of school district employees who successfully complete such training shall be maintained,
updated and kept in the school district administration office.
Acquisition, Storage and Disposal
Naloxone shall be safely stored in the school nurse's office or other location designated by the
school nurse in accordance with the drug manufacturer's instructions.
The school nurse shall obtain sufficient supplies of Naloxone pursuant to the standing order in the
same manner as other medical supplies acquired for the school health program. The school nurse or
designee shall regularly inventory and refresh Naloxone stocks, and maintain records thereof, in
accordance with the established internal procedures, manufacturer recommendations and
Department of Health Guidelines.
Administration of Naloxone
When responding to a suspected drug overdose, district employees shall follow the steps outlined
below:
1.
Call for medical help immediately (Dial 9-1-1).
