Annual Education Report 2010-11

Dear Parents and Community Members,

I am pleased to present you with the Annual Education Report (AER) which provides key information on the 2010-2011 educational progress for Twin Lake Elementary School.  The AER addresses the complex reporting information required by federal and state laws.  The school's report contains information about student assessment, Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and teacher quality.  If you have any questions about the AER, please contact me at 719-3190 for assistance.

The AER is available for you to review here electronically or you may review a copy at the Twin Lake Elementary School office.

For the 2010-2011 school year, Twin Lake Elementary School made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in English Language Arts and Mathematics.  While we are pleased to have reached this important goal, we are continuously working to improve.  We appreciate the continued support of parents, staff and our community in this effort.

Twin Lake Elementary is a place where children develop skills to become life long learners and responsible, productive citizens.  We are committed to this mission for our students.  The 2011 -2012 school year is filled with excitement and anticipation.  We are looking forward to integrating technology into our classrooms, and utilizing the many construction updates that happened over the summer thanks to the bond that was supported by our community.  Please consider visiting our staff blogs, which will keep you updated on the progress of our school improvement initiatives.  They can be accessed through the staff pages on our website.

State law requires that we also report additional information.

• Process for assigning pupils to the school
  If you reside outside Reeths-Puffer School's attendance area and would like to apply as for schools of choice, parents will need to pick up a "Schools of Choice" application and return it between the second Monday in April through the second Monday in May.  When considering student assignments, students are placed based on available space and the best placement to meet their individual needs.
     
• Percentage of parents attending parent teacher conferences
  Conference attendance at Twin Lake Elementary is consistently 95% or more each year.  We look forward to working with our students, parents and community members collaboratively for the success of all children.
        
• How to access a copy of the core curriculum
       
• The status of school improvement plan
  

  The purpose of our School Improvement Plan (SIP) is to implement consistent strategies throughout our building; focusing on reading, writing and math. The Twin Lake Staff targeted goals based on data analysis of needed areas of improvement. Strategic interventions based on researched practices have been implemented and assessment of the effectiveness of the interventions is on-going.      

  
  For more information on school improvement planning and our accreditation, please visit the district's North Central Association Accreditation page.

Twin Lake Elementary staff are pleased to be serving the students and parents of Twin Lake Elementary School and look forward to another successful school year.  You may contact our office at (231) 719-3190, extension 2200.

Sincerely,

Wanda Groeneveld
