People call me from time to time asking about teaching positions. We do not have any openings at SLE at this time, but I have heard of 16 openings in Scott County Schools, and I read in today's Sunday paper (5.8.11) that the Hazelhurst School District has several openings.
Job hunting is tough this year, but people seeking work will find openings. I will post other openings as I learn about them. Good luck, and let me know how I can help. We need good teachers and administrators!

Do You Want It?
There has been much in the news lately about schools doing a poor job. Well, I’m happy to report to you that we have many students that scored advanced on state tests. How do you explain why some students score advanced and some score minimal or basic while in the same room, with the same teacher, and with the same curriculum? My experience has been that often the difference is the parent that works with their child at home. This usually means the parents also know how to work with the school to help their child succeed. It is never too late to begin a true partnership with the school to help your child to succeed. But you have to want it! - Principal
!!!Wednesday & Friday Schedules Change!!!
• Please note that this Wednesday, October 6 we will dismiss school at 3 p.m.
• School will be dismissed Friday, October 8 at 1 p.m.
• There will be no school Monday, October 18.
SLE Report Card Shows Student Progress
The No Child Left Behind school report card is being sent home today. Please notice that SLE students made progress on its May 2010 MCT2. We moved from “Failing” to “At Risk of Failing.” We moved our QDI from 88 to 100. We met the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for NCLB, but we did not meet the growth status for the state. In short, SLE is improving its performance on the MCT2. If you have any questions after reading through the school’s report card, please contact the principal. We will discuss this briefly at our PTO meeting October 12, also.
Students to Take 9 Weeks Tests October 5-7
Please take the following steps to prepare your child for tests:
• Help your child study by providing a schedule of time to study.
• Talk with your child’s teacher about what will be on the tests.
• Talk to your child about what an education will mean for her.
If You Get On the Bus, Follow Rules for Safety
Have you talked with your child about riding the school bus safely and with respect towards the others? Rules and the driver are there for your child’s safety. Yet, students endanger everyone on the bus when they don’t follow basic bus rules. Children should:
• Stay in their seats while the bus is in motion
• Keep their hands and feet to themselves
• Talk in their “little” voice
Please encourage your child to follow these simple rules. Get to know your child’s driver, too.

Important Notice 9.14.10
September 14: SLE PTO Meeting
6:30 p.m. at the school
All parents are urged to attend and take part in your child’s school. Topics to be discussed will include:
• ways parents can volunteer;
• student progress after the first month of school;
• Federal Programs Committee’s plans for the year;
• PTO fundraisers and projects; and
• Parents for Public School workshop September 21.
Dress Code
Please review the Student/Parent Handbook concerning the dress code. Students will want to wear coats and jackets as the fall weather gets cooler. Page 13 in the handbook outlines the district and school policy concerning coats and jackets, and this policy is in effect now. Also note that on that same page under “Bottoms” there are directions concerning pants and shorts. Pants and shorts with large outside pockets are not allowed. If you have any questions, contact the principal.
Car Riders
New parents to our school may not know this, but we have a lot more students coming to school this year by car. This has created an unexpected problem with traffic in the mornings and the afternoons. We are very concerned about the safety of students who are dropped off and picked up in the front of the school. You have noticed we have been working to direct traffic to keep traffic manageable and children safe. We thank you for your cooperation. Please note that we will be making more changes in the coming weeks as we receive new signs to help direct drivers.
For the time being, we ask that you do the following for us:
• Slow down! – The speed limit in our school zone is 25 miles per hour. We ask that you drop it down to 15 mph in front of the school during school hours.
• Drop off/Pick up quickly – Have students ready to get out of cars quickly so you can clear the area quickly. The fewer the cars, the greater the safety. The traffic staff cannot easily watch all students when there are many cars in the loading zone at the same time.
• Afternoon pick up - We are working to get the car riders out at 10 minutes before the bell in the afternoon. Please try to be at the school and in line at that time. Please do not block the drive way where buses park.
• No pick up between 2:30-and 2:50 – This is to help us manage traffic. We have to pull staff to cover the traffic in the mornings and the afternoons, so we try to maximize our time and safety by asking parents NOT to pick up students between these times.
• Late changes – If you need for your child to make changes in how they are to ride home (e.g. change buses, ride the bus instead of the car), we need a written note from you with those instructions. Instructions over the phone are not allowed because it is too easy for us to make a mistake and put your child on the wrong bus or in the wrong car. Only in emergency situations can we take instructions over the phone.
Thank you, parents, for helping us with these matters. We also thank the parents who are already volunteering for various jobs at SLE. We really appreciate you! If we can help you in any way, please call us at 253-2324. – Jimmy Henderson, Principal

Urgent Need to Call Congress
Below is a timely message from The Parents' Campaign. Please read it, then contact Senators Cochran and Wicker today.
It appears that the U.S. Senate could be voting very soon on the federal legislation that would generate an additional $82-million in state funding for Mississippi's K-12 education system. We need your help to get those dollars to our schools.
You probably remember that, when our State Legislature passed the funding bill for the coming school year, it included a provision that would direct additional funds to our public schools if Congress passed legislation to free up some state funding. Here's how it works...
The Mississippi State Legislature passed HB1059, a bill that makes additional funding available to K-12 education and some other state agencies IF the U.S. Congress extends the enhanced federal match for Medicaid (enhanced FMAP) that is in place through December of this year. Legislation has been proposed to extend the enhanced match through June 30, 2011. That move would save Mississippi approximately $153-million in Medicaid costs for the coming fiscal year, and those funds would then be appropriated to other state agencies, including K-12. Mississippi House Bill 1059 calls for $82-million of the freed-up funds to be added to the K-12 appropriation.
The enhanced federal match is in an amendment to a broader jobs bill that Congress is considering. My understanding is that everything in the $100-billion jobs bill, including the enhanced Medicaid match amendment, has been paid for except a $34-billion unemployment insurance provision. This means that extending the enhanced Medicaid match would NOT add to the federal deficit.
Please contact Senators Cochran and Wicker and ask that they support the amendment to the jobs bill that would extend the enhanced federal Medicaid match through June 30, 2011, freeing up state funding to be appropriated to our public schools. You can contact our Senators at the numbers or email addresses listed below.
As you know, our schools are suffering mightily under the recent budget cuts. The funding bill that the Mississippi Legislature adopted in April funds our schools at a level that is approximately $80-million below the final level of funding K-12 education had for the 2009-2010 school year after budget cuts. It provides $232-million less than what would be required to fully fund the MAEP for FY11. Schools have seen dramatic losses of teachers and programs as a result of this underfunding, and class sizes are scheduled to increase in the fall. The funds freed up by the enhanced Medicaid match extension could help to alleviate some of the increase in class size.
Please call Senators Cochran and Wicker today and ask that they support the enhanced Medicaid match amendment that would free up additional funding for our schools, and continue to watch our website for updates. Working together we can ensure that, even in difficult economic times, our children will receive a high quality education that will allow them to achieve their dreams.
Gratefully,
Nancy
