    Regular Meeting, October 14, 2013 The October 14, 2013, meeting of the Moon Area Board of Education was held in the High School Board Meeting Room, 7:00 p.m., for general purposes. The meeting was CALLED TO ORDER by President Sandra Volpe McCurdy. The following directors were present: Ms. Volpe McCurdy Mrs. Schisler Mr. Tranter Mr. Olszewski Mrs. Tatone Mr. Bussard Mr. Harbaugh Mr. Steele and Mr. Testa were not present. Also seated at the Board table: Mrs. Johns, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Haslett, Mr. Heck and Mr. Maiello. There were 40 people in the audience. Superintendent’s Report Mrs. Johns announced that the Tiger Spirit Award focuses on honoring positive character traits and recognizes students for personal achievements and excellent classroom behaviors that often reach beyond academics. For the month of October, we will recognize the two winners from Hyde Elementary: third-grader Lauren Ventura and fourth grader Dante Bolden. The first student recognized tonight is Dante Bolden. Dante, who was nominated by Ms. Guzek, shows his spirit in more ways than one. Dante proudly sports his red and white Tiger gear on a daily basis, and is an active participant in several Moon extracurricular activities and sports, including football. However, he’s not just making an impression on the field --- Ms. Guzek and his principal Mr. Johnson called him a wonderful example of a hardworking, caring student. He is responsible, kind, and respectful to both his peers and adults - a great student with a matching attitude about school. Mrs. Johns congratulated Dante on being selected for this award and thanked him for being such an outstanding representative of our district! Our other winner from Hyde Elementary is Lauren Ventura.

Just look at the info on stats from each new federally implemented standard. They never help. Teachers hands are tied and they lose control to teach.

I have actively been involved in educational issues for many years, and currently serve on the Committee for Special Education and on the elementary school curriculum committee in the Lower Merion School District. While I am generally in favor ofthe adoption of Common Core as a guideline for the education of our children in the 21st Century, I have grave concerns about tying the achievement of those standards to a single battery of test. I'm sure others have spoken generally about how teaching to the test has become incredibly disruptive to the educational process; about the excessive costs involved and the unfunded mandates which will result. I agree with those comments generally. I write separately because I want to bring a slightly different perspective No one can really explain to you the emotional toll these tests can have on our children, especially those in the special needs community.

My name is Julie Sitko and I am the College and Career Counselor. This is the time to think about life after high school! My role is to advise and support students and families in the college search and to help identify “best fit” colleges and universities, and to assist students in finding potential careers. Here are some things to think about as we go through your child’s senior year: FALL - Post-Secondary Timeline for seniors • If necessary, take the ACT and SAT tests again – be sure to check with your colleges to determine what tests (if any) are required • Talk to teachers about writing recommendation letters. You’ll want to ask teachers who have taught you junior or senior year. Talk to teachers about the recommendation letters BEFORE requesting them in Naviance. • Apply to college. My recommendation is to submit your applications by Thanksgiving, but no later than Christmas. Be cognizant of individual college deadlines. • Request transcripts to be sent via Naviance • After October 1, complete and file the FAFSA. The FAFSA will be based on your family’s 2016 taxes. Moon will host a financial aid information night/FAFSA completion workshop on October 9. More information will be coming. • Register to meet with college representatives visiting Moon Area High School Requesting transcripts through Naviance: All transcripts must be requested through Naviance. The school counselors actually submit the transcripts. They need at least 10 school days to process transcripts.
