2010-2011 Reeths-Puffer Intermediate

Annual Education Report

 

 

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 the Reeths-Puffer Intermediate 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 call me at 744-9280 for assistance.

 

The AER is also available for you to review in the RPI office any time while school is in session during the office hours of

8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

 

For the 2010-2011 school year, Reeths-Puffer Intermediate 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.

 

Each year all schools throughout Michigan are graded by the Michigan Department of Education with a grading system called Education YES!  While the report card is not the only way to measure a school’s success and performance, it is the tool that is consistently used across the state.  Grades are given once every school year in the form of an online report card.  The composite grade is computed using student scores on the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) tests, a comparison of those MEAP scores over time, and other Indicators of School Performance that research shows are linked to improving student achievement such as school vision, communication, instruction, and continuous improvement.

 

Measurement                                         Score      Letter Grade

Preliminary Grade                                       95               A

Although we are extremely pleased to receive an overall A for our performance, we realize we still have areas to improve upon relative to the high standards set forth by North Central Accreditation (NCA) and our District Review Team. 

 

State law requires that we also report additional information on the following interest areas:

• Status of the School Improvement Plan
    
• Copy of the Core Curriculum

  

If you reside outside the Reeths-Puffer District and would like to apply for school 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.  
 

RPI is a great place to learn, contribute and compete!  Our mission statement is:  Respect, Pride, Integrity. . . . Success!  We’re excited about the awesome potential the 2011-12 school year has for our students.  Please visit our web site often as it is a great way to keep current on RPI information as well as getting more involved with our school improvement process.   If you would like more information, please contact my office for assistance at 744-9280.

 

Thanks for another great year and entrusting us with your children. 

 

Sincerely,

   

Lee A. Andrews
