ADAIR COUNTY R-II NEWSLETTER
JANUARY 1, 2010 Brashear, Missouri
RESULTS OF APR
The Annual
Performance Report (APR) shows the district’s status on the Missouri School
Improvement Program (MSIP) Performance Standards. For all districts, the APR is intended to serve as an annual
status report on the MSIP Performance Standards and as a planning tool for
improvement efforts. The report is
intended to further assist districts as they refine improvement plans for all
students.
The APR allows us to
know where we are in the “eyes” of the state department and it provides us with
insight on the direction we need to take for the future.
The report measures
the district in each of the following categories. Each of the Performance Measures for K-12 districts will be
designated either “Met” or “Not Met” according to the published Scoring Guide
for that school year.

We are very pleased
to have achieved this high mark. As
pleased as we are with these results, we know that there is still room for
improvement and we plan to look closely at the results and make plans to
address areas of need.
U.S.
CELLULAR CALLING ALL COMMUNITIES
Think of all our
school could do with $100,000. U.S.
Cellular will award $1 million to schools through their Calling All Communities campaign. Ten schools across the country—big, small, public, private,
primary, middle and high school—with the most votes will win $100,000 each to
use however they choose and our school could be one of them.
Last year’s 10
winners built new playgrounds, bought new desks and books, upgraded computer
labs and repaired a damaged gymnasium.
Here’s how you can
give our school a chance to be a Calling
All Communities champion. You
can go into any U.S. Cellular store from now until January 15, 2010 and get a
code to use online to vote. There is no
purchase necessary and you don’t need to be a U.S. Cellular customer to
vote. You can find more information at
http://www.uscellular.com/callingallcommunities. Winners will be announced in February 2010.

ADAIR COUNTY R-II HONORED
FOR “DISTINCTION IN PERFORMANCE”
A total of 319
Missouri school districts – 11 fewer than last year – have qualified for the
state’s “Distinction in Performance” recognition, based on their academic
achievement during the last school year (2008-09), state education officials
announced today.
Of this year’s recipients, 266 are K-12 districts and 53 are K-8
districts. There are 523 public school districts in Missouri, enrolling a total
of about 900,000 students.
The Distinction in Performance recognition is based on the 14 academic
performance standards that are the basis of the state’s accreditation program
for all school districts. The standards are based on scores from the
state-mandated MAP tests, high school end-of-course exams, graduation rates,
ACT scores, and other measures.
“To qualify for Distinction in Performance, a school district must be
achieving at a high level or making consistent progress at all grade levels.
School districts work hard to achieve this recognition,” said Stan Johnson,
assistant commissioner for the Department of Elementary and Secondary
Education.
To qualify for the award this year, K-8 districts had to meet 6 out of 7
performance standards that apply to these districts, including all of those
that are based on the results of the MAP tests. K-12 districts had to meet 13
of 14 standards, including all of the MAP-based measures.

BHS SCORES BY EMAIL OR CELL
PHONE TEXT
Want to receive
scores of BHS games and important school notifications in your email or have
them sent to your cell phone? We are
experimenting with a system to provide that service. If you would like to give it a try, just follow the instructions
below or follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/brashearsports.
If you would like to
receive scores by email or cell phone, just send an email message to:
maiser@brashear.k12.mo.us and put “subscribe scores” in the body of
the message. You can stop messages by
sending a message with “unsubscribe scores” in the body of the message.
IMPORTANT! The scores will be sent to whatever email
account or cell phone that was used to subscribe. This is all handled automatically, so you cannot for example send
an email requesting that text messages be sent to your phone. The message would have to come from the
phone.
This is all
experimental at this stage, so please be patient. There is no guarantee that we will continue this service. Also, be aware that some cell phone
companies will charge you for incoming messages while others don't.
DISTRICT REPORT CARD
AVAILABLE
State law (Section
160.522) requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to
produce an annual school accountability report card about each school district,
each school building and each charter school in the state. The reports are designed to satisfy state
and federal reporting requirements for the disclosure of statistics about
students, staff, finances, academic achievement, and other indicators. The information is compiled from data
reported to the Department by local school districts.
The 2008-2009
district report card is now available at:
http://dese.mo.gov/planning/profile/001092.html
If you would like a copy of this report card, contact the district
office at 323-5272.
