2011-2012 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 2011-2012 educational progress for 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 contact me at 744-9280, Ext. 2155, for assistance. The AER is available for you to review here electronically or you may review a copy at the Reeths-Puffer Intermediate School office. For the 2011-2012 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.

Reeths-Puffer Intermediate School 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 2012 -2013 school year is filled with excitement and anticipation.

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.

Top to Bottom Ranking
Information used to rank schools is based on the developemtn of the Top to Bottom list of schools and their performance. Each school's Top to Bottom ranking will be based on student achievement, student growth over time, school improvement over time and achievement gaps across all five tested subjects (mathematics, reading, science, social studies and writing).

Percentage of parents attending parent teacher conferences
Conference attendance at Reeths-Puffer Intermediate averages 90% or more each of the past 2 years. We look forward to working with our students, parents and community members collaboratively for the success of all children.
