Many thanks to the Extended School Program for recognizing our School Board members at the last meeting by creating and displaying posters at that meeting. Mitchell Neilson would like to thank Newk’s Eatery at the Avenue for donating lunch for the parent panel and Lighthouse review Team. Newk’s and the O’Reilly family are fabulous community partners. Mitchell-Neilson would like to thank Morter Family Chiropractic for providing lunch to MNS teachers. Northfield Elementary would like to thank Harvest View Church and a group of Unite youth for showing love to our students and staff. They came over the weekend and wiped down desk and knobs as their project. They also left a sucker for students and a little gift for the teacher on their desk. We thank them so much for loving on us. Congratulations to Discovery’s robotics team who placed second in the “Innovation Solution Award” at the FIRST Lego League East Tennessee Championship Tournament on Saturday. This was their first time competing. Congratulations to the MCS Competition Cheer Team who placed fourth in the nation in Orlando on Sunday. This culminates weeks and weeks of work with support from schools, parents, and grandparents. Congratulations to Mitchell-Neilson. They have achieved Lighthouse Status as a Leader In Me School. While there are 3,160 Leader In Me Schools in the world, only 352 have made it to Lighthouse Status. Several schools be competing in the Invention Convention next week on the 22nd at MTSU in the Student Union Building. Judging will begin at about 9:00, with awards announced about 11:30. The following schools will be participating: Bradley, Cason Lane, Discovery, Hobgood, Northfield, Overall, Pittard, Scales, and Siegel. Murfreesboro City Schools would like to thank New Hope Church of God in Christ for their donation to purchase Rover tickets. Additional donations have been made to the Indigent Care Fund in memory of Mrs. Linda Cox. Thank you to all who have donated. Congratulations to Angela Fairchild and the Murfreesboro City Schools’ Special Education Team. A Letter of Local Determination was recently received that indicated the requirements for the implementation of IDEA Part B have been met. Congratulations to Tammy Pirtle, Academic Coach at Black Fox Elementary School, who has been nominated for the 2017-2018 National LifeChanger of the Year award. Sponsored by the National Life Group Foundation, LifeChanger of the Year recognizes and rewards the very best K-12 educators and school district employees across the United States who are making a difference in the lives of students by exemplifying excellence, positive influence and leadership. February 6th and 7th, members of the Murfreesboro City Schools family were involved in five presentations at the Tennessee Department of Education Partners In Education Conference. The following presentations were made: Toolkit to Improve School Climate - Kim Frank (3 sessions) Focusing on the Continuum of Services for Preschool Students - Roxana Dove, Kelley Heflin, Lynn Hood, & Kelly Blanchard A Positive Impact on School Climate Using RTI2-Behavior - Amanda Adams & Kim Frank (2 sessions) Improving School Culture Through Response to Instruction and Intervention for Behavior (RTI2-B) - Angela Huff & Amanda Turnbo Successful Implementation of RTI2 in Murfreesboro City Schools - Jess Grayum & Tara Bowker Congratulations to the schools whose work has been acknowledged by the Tennessee Behavior Project for their RTI2 B implementation. Report by Kim Frank. Over the past few months, the Tennessee Department of Education has been conducting a qualitative research study to understand how RTI2 has affected the learning disability identification process and whether the implementation of RTI2 has let do different outcomes in terms of determining eligibility. As part of that work, the Department of Education visited Scales Elementary School and observed their data meetings. They also interviewed Caresa Dodson and Angela Fairchild to discuss district-level RTI2 practices. All of this was integrated into the department’s latest report, Assessing Progress: Four Years of Learnings from RTI2 Implementation in Tennessee. That report was released on February 5th in an event at the Music City Center. According to the state, Scales informed the “look fors” regarding effective implementation of intervention as well as being the basis for the “Robust Support at the District Level” case study portion of the report. Report by Caresa Dodson and Maria Johnson.
