The newspapers have shared the good news about the Crown Point Schools. Jerry Ross Elementary School earned an “A” and so did the Crown Point Community School District. This is evidence to the focused and intense work that is happening in each building to help each child experience success. In addition to assessing our overall scores on ISTEP tests in English/Language Arts and Math, the new state A-F Accountability system also measures individual student growth from one year to the next. We earned an “A” because our scores were all above 90%, but a school’s letter grade may increase, decrease, or remain the same based on student improve- ment. The results are satisfying, but not surprising because of the amazing teaching and learning that occurs from the arrival bell all the way up until the dismissal bell. I also must thank all of our amazing parents, grandparents, volunteers and community members. It truly takes all of us working together to get results. While our school board and district administrators may not have a role in the day-to-day run- ning of our schools, their leadership decisions about curric- ulum, programming and allocation of funding have been vital to our success. Again, I feel so humbled to lead our amazing children in Crown Point and prom- ise to always set the highest standards for our children. While I am proud to be the principal of a 4 STAR school and to have recently earned an “A”, I get more satisfaction from visiting students in their classrooms and watching them learn and grow. Our success is a result of thousands of small victories that occur with our children throughout the year, each one contributing to our overall success. I believe that kids need to have a voice and that it is my job to bring out the talents of all kids. “Funny Fridays”, student-led tradition of telling jokes on the Friday announcements, is one of many examples of kids having opportunities. I just have to share this joke that 3rd grader AJ Erdelac told today: first because it is cute, but also because it proves the point of my message this week. Knock Knock……”Who’s There”…...Dishes……”Dishes Who?” Dishes a nice place to be.
