Theodore Herberg Middle School
School Council Meeting Minutes
February 28, 2013
Present: D. Belland, J. Cazavelan, C. Jacoby, A. Pinkston, T. Simon, F. Vallone, N. Woitkoski
There was no public comment.
January minutes were voted on and approved.
Mr. Jacoby met
with superintendent Noseworthy and business manager Kristen Behnke on
February 15, 2013 to review the 2013/2014 budget.
---Staffing numbers for next year should remain the same.
---The superintendent was adamant about maintaining the middle school
alternate school(EOS 3) at Herberg for the forseeable future. (This
will continue to have an impact on our ability to provide technology
programming to our students.)
---Kristen Behnke is committed to replacing our current telephone system, which is on its "last legs".
---Dr. Noseworthy is spearheading the district's attempt at replacing our clocks with a system that works.
---There is no confirmation, yet, on installation of a 25 unit desk top
computer lab in A15. Much depends on final budget figures.
As promised, Mr. Jacoby provided some data relating to ZAP...Zeros Aren't Permitted...grading policy implemented this year.
---Honor Roll numbers are the same or slightly down from the year before. 2nd quarter 2012/2013 total was 33%(42% in 2012).
---The number of students in the second quarter with at least one D or F fell from 114 in 2012 to 73 in 2013.
---A report on one teacher's grades for struggling students indicates
that some are taking advantage of the "50" for no work, accounting for
inflated final grades, while others are benefiting from the removal of
zero's from their averages. More data will be presented at future
meetings.
---A new scoreboard and new protective wall maps, both containing
Herberg blue and white colors and the Husky mascot, were installed over
February break in the gymnasium. They look great and will provide a
classy environment for this year's middle school DARE basketball
jamboree, which will be held in our gymnasium on Friday, March 1.
Our next meeting will be held on Thursday, March 28, at 4:00 pm in the library.
Respectfully submitted,
Christopher G. Jacoby, Co-Chairperson
Salvete!
On Friday 8th grade Latin students attended Classics Day at Mount Holyoke College. They attended workshops about Roman culture by college professors and competed in a variety of events including art and costume. Several students dressed up in costume inspired by our field trip to the Pompeii exhibit in December. 4 students - Brandon Lafleur, Ethan McCandless, Hannah Stechmann, and Tom Lee - participated in Certamen (Latin quiz team) and earned 3rd place competing against other schools including Lenox, Taconic, Berkshire Country Day, Amherst, and Williston. Congratulations!
Gratias!
Ms. Cope - Latin Teacher - Herberg Middle School
