SNOW DAY MAKE UP
As you know, our district has had to cancel school twice due to weather conditions. The first day because of boiler malfunctions (-27 degree temperatures) and the second day because of weather conditions and travel advisories. The state provides one permissive day, but we must make up the second. Fortunately, our calendar has a snow day built in on March 31, 2014; therefore, we will be having school on March 31, 2014 to make up for the snow day taken on Monday, February 24, 2014.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS: School will be in session on Monday, March 31 2014.

MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL HIRED
by Superintendent Robert "Bob" Lewandowski
Due to the number of struggling, at-risk students and the data received through the 2012 Prevention Needs Assessment survey along with the 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Survey the School Board approved hiring a Middle School Principal in the regular 2012 December Board Meeting. The rational is to provide students and teachers with the administrative proximity to follow up with issues of attendance, achievement, behavior and social/emotional attributes that are affecting student outcomes at both middle and high schools.
In a Special Session on December 28, 2012 the Board selected Dan Durglo as the Middle School Principal. The position officially began on Wednesday, January 2, 2013. Mr. Durglo will begin to assimilate duties on Monday, January 13 beginning with the Community Breakfast; however, Mr. Durglo will be acting as both teacher and administrator in order to take the time needed to make an appropriate transition for students and staff alike. It is District's goal to have the transition completed by the end of the quarter/semester on January 18, 2013. This may be a lofty goal, but we will do everything possible to make Mr. Durglo assessable to the middles school students and staff as soon as possible.
Mr. Durglo and Mrs. Stobie will be communicating with elementary parents as well as working with the elementary staff in addressing the 3rd grade needs. Mrs. Stobie has assigned Mr. Tim Krantz (current fourth grade teacher) to Mr. Durglo's 3rd grade classroom. Up until this time, the fourth grade has utilized two teachers to deliver the fourth grade curriculum; however, this year's fourth grade is the smallest class in the district with only 23 students. Ms. Pam Rodeghiero will continue to teach the forth grade with the support of a para-educator while Mr. Krantz transitions to the 3rd grade.
The administration will be communicating with everyone as often as possible until this transition is complete. The District believes this is best for our students in supporting their needs to be successful. We want to appropriately support both the 3rd grade students and the middle school students, as well as the parents and staff in this transition.
Please welcome Mr. Durglo as the Middle School Principal. I am sure he will be contacting parents to extend his services and support for education here at St. Ignatius.

To Be The Top Dawg: Attendance Required!
by Superintendent Robert "Bob" Lewandowski
As mentioned in other posts: attendance is a critical component for student success. For teaching and learning to be effective, students must attend school on a consistent basis. Coming to school is so important that St. Ignatius will be implementing several school policies and initiatives to improve student attendance. If our school is to improve student learning and meet state and national benchmarks it is imperative that we understand that every student counts. Therefore our community must do what is necessary to make sure that every student, every day comes to school all day long.
The District recently implemented an automatic phone notification for absent students as well as the “Good Morning” reminder for students that have reached critical levels of absence. In addition, we will be introducing the “Top Dawg Attendance” initiative.
The “Top Dawg Attendance” initiative will recognize students that have demonstrated consistent attendance goals. In order for students to be the “Top Dawg” in school and in life, they must show up. This initiative focuses on one the foundations of success: active participation. Students must be “consistently” present to be a “Top Dawg” in our school or any other. The initiative is set up to reward success at bench-marked levels so every student can be working toward a new attendance goal.
The initiative and its rewards are based on consistent days of attendance. For all students that have attended school for ten (10) days in a row, students will receive a “Top Dawg” silicone bracelet that says: “MISSION BULLDOGS – HCA BABY!” At twenty (20) days in a row, each student will receive a “Top Dawg” dog tag on a ball-linked chain with a blue camouflaged rubber silencer. At thirty (30) days in a row each student receives an additional “Top Dawg” dog tag with a red camouflaged rubber silencer.
After thirty days, achieving the following attendance benchmarks make student eligible for drawing the following: forty-five (45) days in a row, students are eligible for one of thirty (30) pizzas of choice at “Cornerstone;” at sixty (60) days in a row students are eligible for one of fifteen (15) twenty-five dollar gift certificates; at ninety (90) days in a row student are eligible for one of nine (9) bicycles; at one-hundred twenty (120) days in a row students are eligible for one of two (2) Kindle/Nook; at the end of the year, all students with perfect attendance (no absences of any kind) will receive a certificate and medal of achievement and are eligible for a fifty dollar gift certificate (one gift certificate for each elementary, middle and high school). Awards and drawings will take place at the end of each quarter at the K-12 Top Dawg Assemblies to be held in the gymnasium.
This initiative and others are intended to help students succeed. We hope that you will support these initiatives and help get every student, every day to school all day long.
Thank you for your effort and contributions,
See you at the Mission Possible Parent Breakfast on November 7, 2011 in the Multi-Purpose Room starting at 7:30 AM and ending at 9:00 AM.
MISSION POSSIBLE INITIATIVES
by Superintendent Robert "Bob" Lewandowski
Our academic goals here at Mission are to improve all student scores in MATH and READING. In order to do this, the District will be supporting a number of initiatives throughout the year. Our initiatives will focus on improving attendance; academic rigor; and safety, support and belonging. All of these things effect student learning in MATH and READING.
You will see and hear slogans like: Learning Takes Work!; HCA Baby!; Top Dawg!; You Must Be Present To Win!; and a variety of other sayings and initiatives that promote our mission for students to succeed here at St. Ignatius. The District and its schools will be working with community support groups like the Indian Education Committee (IEC), Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) and the Booster Club to provide the best opportunities for our children to succeed. We invite you to join us and any of the above organizations to make our great school even better. Mission possible is all about bringing our school and community together in order to best serve our youth: Together we can be the difference! Please join us at our Mission Possible Parent Breakfast on November 7, 2011 from 7:30 AM until 9:00 AM to find out more about Mission Possible and your child’s education.

Attendance Makes The Difference!
by Superintendent Robert "Bob" LewandowskiOne of our largest barriers to student success in Mission is attendance. In order to provide students the educational development needed to grow and succeed, they need to come to school every day. In order to overcome the attendance barrier, the district will be implementing a number of initiatives to improve student attendance.
We know how difficult it can be for parents and grandparents to get children to school. The school wants to do everything possible to help. Starting Monday, October 31, 2011 students that have seven (7) or more unexcused absences will receive a complementary phone call at 7:00 AM from our automated phone system. The call will include a morning attendance greeting and the time school starts. If a child has ten (10) or more unexcused absences you will receive two (2) complementary phone calls: one at 7:00 AM and another at 7:30 AM. If anyone would like a complementary morning greeting, regardless to your child’s attendance, please contact the school office and we will be glad to set that up for you.
On days when students are absent, parents will receive an automated phone call at 8:45 AM indicating their child’s absence. We will be doing this to provide timely parent notification that their child has not arrived at school. This call not only addresses attendance issues, but helps provide parental assurance that their child has arrived safely at school. We will continue to provide follow up calls by the secretarial staff for additional assurances.
The automated phone calling system is just one way to help overcome the attendance barrier. Please let us know if you have any ideas or suggestions to help improve student attendance. If you receive a morning attendance greeting and would like it removed, please don’t hesitate to call your building principal to discuss alternative methods to improve your child’s attendance.
Together we can make our great school even better by providing every student the opportunity needed to succeed.
