FROM THE DESK OF THE SUPERINTENDENT

Dear Community Members, Welcome to 2012! We know this is the time of year for making resolutions, and setting goals towards improvement. It is also a time to reflect on goals we already have, assess how effectively we have met them, and plan ways we can continue to grow. For this school year, we determined that two priorities would be to expand community involvement in the school and to increase communication. This school year began with a Community Picnic to welcome back our students and families, community members attended and contributed to a forum on the new Common Core Standards, and many senior citizens were able to join us for the traditional holiday luncheon and entertainment provided by our students. We have reopened our hallways for walking at the Bolivar building, reopened the weight room for community use, and continue to offer the services at our fitness center. Our holiday concerts were well attended, and were a wonderful opportunity for us to share the hard work and talent of our students and staff with the community. Our new website is up and running, and providing updated information on a constant basis. As we look ahead, we will be hosting our next Community Forum on the evening of February 7, at 6:00PM. This one will be dedicated to sharing information about our budget process for the 2012-2013 school year. As I mentioned in last months newsletter, schools are again facing fiscal challenges, and we look forward to working with you to share ideas on how we can meet the needs of our students in a climate of decreasing revenues. We will provide the community with information about changes to the budget process, including a discussion of the new tax levy limitation legislation. We will also give an overview of our own current fiscal picture, from both the spending and revenue perspectives. Finally, we will be seeking community input by asking what you value in our schools. Our goal for the evening is to not only share information with you, but to better understand what community members feel is essential to making BolivarRichburg the unique District that we are. As we develop the budget, we want to be able to consider your thoughts as part of that process. We will be putting more details about the forum on our website and in a future Moneysaver. We hope to see you there!

14-10 points: You are a student who could be getting better grades. Focus on the areas where you responded either sometimes or never. Improvement in these areas will result in even better academic performance. 9-5 points: Youre probably not getting very good grades. You need to rededicate yourself to your academics. Organization, such as setting aside time for studying and completion of homework should be a primary focus. Your grades need serious improvement. Ask for help. Speak with your teachers and counselor to figure out a plan of action. Recognize that success will not be achieved overnight, but if you seek out assistance and commit to improving as a student, the benefits will become apparent.

4-0 points:

Regardless of how you scored on this survey, or how you are currently performing as a student, there is always hope and room for improvement. Here is to wishing you the fortitude to strive for academic excellence. It will not come easily, however the rewards for your dedication and hard work will benefit you for a lifetime. Yours in Education,

John R. Marshall Secondary Principal

Dear Families, Welcome back to school and Happy New Year! I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and had a chance to share some special moments with family and friends. The New Year provides us an opportunity to reflect on those things that we wish to improve upon and make resolutions to enhance our lives. Our students will have this same opportunity as we stress the importance of goal setting and achievement in the second semester. Your childs academic motivation is coming, for the most part, from one source: you! While it is a tremendous responsibility, recognize that you also hold tremendous influence over your childs desire to learn. There are many things that you can do to help your student. Begin the discussion of goal-setting simply by asking your child what he or she hopes to accomplish or learn this second half of the year. You might even be surprised to find that the expectations your child has for himself or herself are higher than you imagined! Once your child picks a personal learning goal, help him or her develop a plan for accomplishing it. This will most likely include defining the goal, setting a time frame, and making a list of steps necessary in working toward the goal. You may also want to talk about how your child will realize that the goal has been accomplished. Finally, make sure you acknowledge your childs progress along the way. Knowing that mom or dad noticed will increase your childs sense of accomplishment and strengthen his or her self-determination. Best wishes for a healthy and happy 2012!

SECONDARY PRINCIPALS MESSAGE

What Kind of Student Are You? The start of a new year is a time when people often find themselves making pledges of good intentions they intend to keep during the upcoming year. With that being said, now is a perfect time for students to either rededicate themselves to their academic endeavors, or for struggling students to commit to academic improvement. As a parent, I encourage you to take a moment and have your child fill out the following survey, and then use the results to foster a discussion about their schooling. Always 1. I complete homework assignments. 2. I have all necessary materials when I report to class. 3. I use the time teachers give us in class to get started on homework. 4. I take good notes. 5. I ask and answer questions in class. 6. I use tricks to memorize information. 7. After reading an assignment in the textbook, I know what Ive read. 8. I get along well with my teachers. 9. I am good at taking tests. 10. I am happy with my grades. ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ Sometimes ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ Never ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______

JANUARY 2012 REGENTS EXAMS: The January 2012 Regents Exam schedule is listed below. Most students retaking a Regents exam have already signed up for the exam in the high school Guidance Office; there is no fee for the January exams. Any student who has not signed up to retake an exam should see Mrs. Crandall-Bean ASAP to be sure an exam is available. Parents and students are reminded that for security reasons, the state never allows any make-ups for Regents exams. Regents exams are given throughout the entire state on the same date and at the same approximate time. Questions regarding January Regents Exams may be answered by calling Mrs. Crandall-Bean in the Guidance Office at 928-2985.

worksheet first and gather several documents before completing the form. Please realize the importance of completing the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1st. By far, the best website Ive found to help with the financial aid process as well as loads of information about grants and loans is the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) website. It can be found at www.hesc.com. We also have several other very helpful financial aid links on our school website just check out the guidance page at http://www.brcs.wnyric.org. PSAT RESULTS ARRIVE FOR JUNIORS The results from the October PSAT (the SAT warm-up exam) have arrived and Mrs. Crandall-Bean reviewed them on December 22nd and January 3rd with the students who took the test. Students were given an interpretation of their test results, their actual test question booklet, and a copy of their score report to take home. The score report shows students what questions they answered correctly, incorrectly and omitted. In addition, the scoring service predicts an SAT score for those students who will take the SAT in the spring. Parents should review these results and call Mrs. Bean if they have questions. The next test for college-bound juniors will be the SAT and/or ACT exams, which are given in the spring. Information about test dates, costs, practice tests and registration forms for both tests are available in our Guidance Office, on our Guidance website and on the Internet. In December all juniors were given a packet with basic tips regarding how to register and prepare for this important college entrance examinations. ASVAB RESULTS FOR JUNIORS The ASVAB test results have arrived and on December 15th, Dr. Faith Durden, ASVAB Test Administrator, interpreted test results for our juniors. She then gave students the FYI, which stands for Find Your Interests career interest inventory as well as instruction on how to navigate the ASVAB Career Exploration website. After taking the ASVAB, students are given an individual Use Access Code on their score report which entitles them to free access to this excellent website for two years to complete additional career and college exploration. We are very excited that we are again able to implement this free high quality service for our juniors this year! As always, if you have any questions regarding the ASVAB, please contact the Guidance Office at 928-2985.

RE = Regents Exam RCT = Regents Competency Test (only for students with disabilities) SCHEDULING TO BEGIN SOON: During the months of February and March, Mrs. Crandall-Bean will begin meeting with students in grades eight through eleven to make out next years schedule requests. Parents and students should put plenty of thought into the preparation of a students schedule. It is very important to balance the quality and quantity of a schedule. That means that if the student is taking a very challenging schedule (high quality) then he may want to consider reducing the number of credits/course (quantity) in the schedule. On the other hand, if the student is not taking many Regents-level courses then he may want to increase the number of credits/courses he takes. This balance allows the greatest chance of student success. Helping to make this decision is where your childs counselor can be of great assistance. Heres how we schedule students at B-RCS. Each spring students meet with their counselor and receive a Schedule Request Form. This form lists the names of all our courses. As each student sits down with the counselor he highlights the courses he wants for next year. Keep in mind that each student must request a minimum of 6 1/2 credits per year. The student signs the form and is instructed to take it home and discuss it with his family, have a parent or guardian sign it and return it to his counselor. From here, all the student requests are entered into our computer system and the counselor begins to create the master schedule for next year. The master schedule is designed around all students requests and is usually finished around mid-summer. Soon thereafter, each student will receive a letter indicating the requests that we were actually able to schedule for the student. Sometimes courses meet during the same block of time and conflict with one another and the student may need to select a different elective course that fits in with their required courses. The student is instructed to review the letter and call school if she wants to make schedule change. It is very important to know that these changes must be made before the deadline that is listed on the letter. Once the deadline passes the request to change a course will not be honored unless it is a computer error or unless the students teacher feels that the work is at a level beyond the students capabilities. We do this because we need to plan accurately for class size when ordering textbooks and making teacher and room assignments. Parents with questions about their childs schedule are always welcome to contact their childs counselor. FINANCIAL AID ASSISTANCE Parents of seniors needing assistance in filing the financial aid form (FAFSA) for this year can either call Mrs. Crandall-Bean in the Guidance Office or the college their child plans on attending. FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. This is the form that all college-bound seniors must complete with their parents in order to qualify for student loans and grant money. Paper forms of the FAFSA are no longer sent to high schools. Instead, parents must call 1-800-433-3243 or download a copy off the Internet at www.federalstudntaid.ed.gov. 98% of families filed the FAFSA over the Internet last year because the filing is much faster and safer than the paper form. To file over the Internet the student and one parent must get a PIN so they can electronically sign their FAFSA. To do this, go to www.pin.ed.gov...it only takes a few minutes. Seniors have already applied for their PINS in December during their Government class time. Next, go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and begin the filing process. Youll need to download a FAFSA

LIVING ENVIRONMENT
The month of January finds the Living Environment students creating papers and powerpoint presentations on featured scientists. Each student has a different scientist and each scientist has contributed to the field of biology in some manner. This project will reinforce research techniques, introduce the students to a variety of scientists achievements, and enable students to practice their life-skill of public speaking. Also during January, evolution will be covered as a unifying theme in biology. Evolution gives some reasons as to why we share some traits and much of our DNA with other organisms. As always, keep up with lab work and all homework can be found on the school website. Patricia Eshelman

WEIGHT ROOM OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY

In addition to the Fitness Center, the Weight Room (upstairs) will be open to the community starting January 3, 2012. Days and Hours Monday Thursday 7 to 8 PM Community members must be 18 years of age or older.

Every year I am reminded of the generosity of the people I work with at BolivarRichburg Central School. For the third year, several colleagues joined me in helping families have a Christmas. Between monetary and food donations, and gift buying, 15 people were able to have a happy holiday season. I would like to thank the following colleagues for their kindness and willingness to assist me in this endeavor: Mrs. Bokman, Mrs. Capawan, Mrs. Ebeling, Mrs. Ferris, Mrs. Loucks, Mrs. Lovell, Mr. Marshall, Mrs. McCullough, Mrs. Miles, Ms. Renyck, Mr. Sahm, Mrs. Schena, Mrs. Simard, Ms. Snow, Mrs. Wilber, and Mrs. Windus. I also want to thank the anonymous donors; I truly appreciate your kind gesture. If I have forgotten anyone, I sincerely apologize; I do however, believe that I work with some of the greatest people in the world. Thank you again for all you have done. Sincerely, Sherry Childs 6th grade Special Education Direct Consultant

VARICELLA ALERT
Recently, Bolivar-Richburg Central School District has had chickenpox cropping up among its students. We havent seen chickenpox, also called varicella, in years because immunization is mandatory for all children. Why we are seeing chickenpox now is unknown, and will require testing by the Health Department. Meanwhile, parents and children should remain calm and learn about what we are dealing with. Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral illness caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It was a common childhood illness until the vaccine was developed in 1995. Since then, chickenpox has rarely been seen, and the disease is usually a milder form for vaccinated children. Chickenpox are spread person-to-person by directly touching the blisters, saliva or mucus of an infected person. It can also be transmitted through the air by coughing and sneezing, and indirectly by touching freshly contaminated items, such as clothing, from an infected person. Blisters that are dry and crusted are no longer able to infect others. Infected people will have a sudden onset of slight fever and will feel tired and weak. This will soon be followed by an itchy blister-like rash, mostly on covered areas of the body. They may develop on the scalp, armpits, trunk and even on the eyelids and mouth. The blisters eventually dry, crust over and form scabs. Students should be kept home until all blisters are dry and crusted. Symptoms usually appear 14 to 16 days (range of 10 to 21 days) after exposure to someone with chickenpox or herpes zoster (shingles). The virus can be transmitted from 1 to 2 days before the rash appears until all the blisters are dry and crusted. Most people do not get chickenpox more than once. However, since the virus remains in the body, it may cause shingles later in life. People with chickenpox should be kept home and away from others until the rash crusts over, usually 4-7 days. Infants and people with immune system deficiency disorders are especially vulnerable to the disease.

SECOND GRADE
Mr. Bogey, Mrs. Livingston, Ms. Miles, Miss Scoville..... Happy New Year from second grade! In math, second graders have been busy working on becoming word problem whizzes and continuing to practice their addition and subtraction facts. In reading, we have been working on setting a purpose for our reading and using statements to help guide our reading. We have read folktales and stories about helping each other. Happy January birthday wishes go out to: 5 - Braelin Bentley 8 - Owen Vennard 17 - Sydney Feldbauer 21 - Lilly Johnson 30 - Lacie Buckley Chase Cook is Mrs. Livingstons student of the month. Chase has been working really hard and has been doing many kind things for his teacher and classmates. Hunter Stuck is Miss Scovilles student of the month. Bryannan Proctor is Ms. Miles student of the month. Paityn Johnston is Mr. Bogeys student of the month. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

learning for life...
I would like to offer your child a wonderful opportunity to receive extra tutoring after school through the PeerWORX Tutoring program, offered at Bolivar Richburg Central School. I am excited for the chance to enrich their education. Our year is off to an excellent start. The PeerWORX program is a peer-tutoring program developed to assist school districts in achieving academic success. High school students receive research based training on effective tutoring techniques and assist teachers in reinforcing school curriculum with middle school students in need of academic assistance. Much more than just a peer tutoring program, PeerWORX promotes positive role modeling and mentoring relationships within schools, utilizing a schools greatest resource: their students. Tutoring focuses on completing the daily read and homework. Also, tutors and learners work together on math and language arts skills and school projects. I wanted to introduce myself as the program coordinator and to gather some information. My name is Molly Share, and I am looking forward to working with your child over this school year and aiding them in becoming the best students they can be. I can be reached Monday - Friday at Literacy West NY, Inc. The telephone number is (585) 268-5213, or by email, [email protected]. The program operates every Tuesday from 3-4pm.

THIRD GRADE
Mrs. Cawley, Mrs. Hill, Mr. Smith..... December was a very busy month in third grade. We all learned about holidays and customs in other countries. Mrs. Hills class and Mrs. Cawleys class did research on individual countries. Each student selected a country and found information. After doing the research, the students made posters or boxes to display the information and then did a presentation to the class. Students brought in many interesting things to share with the class. It was a fun learning experience. In math, we have been working with multiplication, measurement, and time. We are doing our best to become fluent with math facts. We want to be able to answer a math question in five seconds! That is why we need to practice at home, too. We are finding out that it takes practice, practice, and more practice to memorize facts. We have made Flash Cards to use in the classroom. Is your child practicing at home? The things that Mrs. Cawleys class planted are really growing. We are most impressed with the potatoes. We are wondering if we will have enough potatoes by spring to cook. Unfortunately, our avocado hasnt sprouted yet. We are starting to give up hope. Mrs. Cawleys student of the month is Kyla Phearsdorf. Kyla shows good effort and is a good friend to the other students in the room. Mrs. Hills student of the month is Wayne Karnuth. Wayne has also been working extremely hard in school and has had the most amazing attitude towards learning. Mr. Smiths student of the month is Andrea Hint. Andrea is another hard worker. Congratulations and keep up the great work! The following people all have January birthdays: Katarina Barrett, Andrea Hint, Alexander MacDonell, Ethan Williams, Daniel Baldwin, Daniel Barkley, Mercedes Turybury, Tucker Gleason, and Allyson Hebert. Enjoy your special day! A New Years Reminder: For Book It!, students need to read 350 minutes this month. Because all students should be reading 20-30 minutes each night, a pizza should be just around the corner. Enjoy those books!

FOURTH GRADE
Ms. Weitzel, Mrs. Perry, Mr. Pruch..... Mr. Pruchs student of the month is Seth Brisky. Seth has been working very hard this year on both his academics and his behavior. Student of the month was presented to Madison Cowles in Mrs. Perrys class. Maddie is a hard worker who takes pride in doing a good job on her school work. It is not uncommon to find Maddie lending a helping hand to a friend. She is a shining example of a positive role model to her peers. Ms. Weitzels class chose Dennis Deck as their student of the month. Dennis always strives to complete his work and demonstrates good behavior. Congratulations Seth, Maddie and Dennis! Students have been pretty busy in ELA class this past month. Not only have we been writing personal narratives and newspaper articles, weve been reading many stories and using context clues to help us determine the meaning of unfamiliar words in the text. We shared stories that led us into a unit of Christmas Around the World. After sharing our own Christmas traditions and ways we celebrate Christmas in our own homes, students traveled around the world via a webquest to research a country of their choice. Students discovered new traditions, decorations, foods enjoyed, music shared, and some fun stories about Christmas in other countries. As each student presented his

or her final project to the class, everybody was invited to share in the new knowledge of how Christmas is celebrated in other parts of the world. Mrs. Busack visited us in mid-December for two lessons: Rock Talk and Water, Water, Everywhere. These two lessons were part of our study of natural cycles. Fourth graders are learning about the water cycle, the cycle of the seasons, the cycle of rocks and nutrients, the cycle of day and night and so forth, and what causes them. Mrs. Busack had the boys and girls get involved in a variety of cooperative activities around the classroom. Mrs. Baldwin has presented several ACASA lessons this month also. The children are learning about the consequences of drug use, how and why friends are the biggest influence in their lives right now, and how to make good choices in learning how and when to say no to friends without losing their friendship and without suffering negative sequences. In math, students have completed their division and fraction unit. They did quite well in both. Remember to practice those skills. We will be working with money, learning how to tell time and learning about measurement in January. Please allow your child to use these three skills at home, at the store or working with crafts and cooking. These are teachable moments.

Mrs. Smith & Miss French ELA class has been a busy month with lots of reading and writing! We read three great stories: Midnight Ride of Paul Revere ~ a narrative poem, Jane Goodalls 10 Ways to Help Save Wildlife ~ expository nonfiction, and Wings for the King ~ a play. Every 5th grader also did a research project on an endangered animal. They learned a lot of information about their animal and presented their report to the class. Did you know that most animals are endangered due to human behavior?? The Student of the Month in our classroom is Tyler Haley. Tyler has shown great improvement in all areas.
