  • California Association of Independent Schools Statement on Gun
    XXXXX SFChronicle.com | Sunday, March 11, 2018 | A9 CaliforniaAssociation of IndependentSchools Statement on Gun Violence and School Safety As the Board of Directors of the California Association of Independent Schools, we join our Executive Director and the undersigned colleagues from our member schools —aswell as other independent, religious, and proprietaryschools throughout California —inanguish over the February14school shooting in Parkland, Florida. We extend our deepest sympathy to the families of the victims of this and everyschool shooting, and we stand in unwavering support of the survivors. We also stand in full solidarity with concerned educators nationwide. Today,school shootings are appallinglyroutine. Innocent lives of flourishingyoung people have been cut short, and students of everyage in countless communities are afraidtogotoschool. These students are our futureleaders. They and others, with amyriad of different perspectives, are also eager to change this paradigm by navigating our democratic processes, by engaging in respectful civic discourse, and by acting as catalysts for needed change, which we heartily applaud. We need to listen to their voices and respond to their pleas to make schools safe. As educators and as citizens, we are proud Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who believethatour countryneed notchoose between the rightful protection of responsiblegun ownership and the necessaryprevention of gun violence. We believe thatthe epidemic of gun violence in schools is an issue of non-partisan urgency, one thatdemands ahigher duty of care. We recall with admiration the ability to rise above partisanship on this issue displayed by two former Presidents, DemocratJimmy Carter and Republican Ronald Reagan, both of whom owned guns. In 1994, they worked together to help reduce the number of dangerous weapons available to private citizens.

  • Massachusetts Kindergarten Immunization Survey Results 2013‐2014
    Massachusetts Kindergarten Immunization Survey Results 2013‐2014 The Massachusetts Department of Public Health Immunization Program is pleased to make available the 2013‐2014 Massachusetts kindergarten immunization survey results by school. Please be aware that the data are limited in a number of ways, including those listed below. Data release standards do not allow for data to be shared for schools with fewer than 30 reported kindergarteners. Schools that reported fewer than 30 kindergarteners are indicated (†). Not all schools return their survey. Schools without data due to non‐response are indicated (*). Data were collected in the fall, but immunization data are often updated throughout the year and rates (during the same school year) may be higher than reported due to additional children receiving immunizations or bringing records to school. Also, the student body is dynamic and as students arrive and leave school, the immunization rates are impacted. Children are allowed a medical or religious exemption to one or more vaccines. Children without the required number of doses of vaccine do not necessarily have an exemption on file. Children without a record of vaccination, but with serologic proof of immunity to certain diseases (measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis b and varicella), meet school entry requirements, but may not be counted as vaccinated. All data are self‐reported by the schools and discrepancies may exist. For example, the percent of children with 5 doses of DTaP may be less than the percent of children meeting the series even though the series includes 5 doses of DTaP vaccine due to the spacing and age at which they received the doses.

  • Dear Applicant Families
    Dear Applicant Families, As independent schools, we are varied in our educational philosophies and programs but united in our commitment to ethical practices in our admission offices. The Heads of the undersigned Los Angeles schools have agreed to the following principles of good practice for K – 12 admissions: In order to minimize timing dilemmas for applicant families, we have agreed to these common notification and reply dates for fall 2017 admission: Grades 9-12: Notification letters will be sent on Friday, March 10, 2017 Email notifications can be sent at 5pm on Friday, March 10, 2017 Replies will be due on Tuesday, March 21, 2017 Grades K-8: Notification can be sent on Friday, March 17, 2017 Email notifications can be sent starting at 5pm on Friday, March 17, 2017 Replies will be due on Monday, March 27, 2017 Once notifications have been sent, schools will not initiate visits, whether for individuals or groups (e.g., through open houses). We are mindful of the disruption to students’ education in their current schools that additional visits to prospective schools can cause, so we do not encourage such visits. However, schools that receive requests for newly admitted students and/or parents may grant those requests at their discretion. No applicant or applicant family will be contacted by any representative of the school – once admissions notification begins. Of course, admitted students and their parents are welcome to contact schools to have questions answered. We share an interest in making the independent school application experience as informative and enjoyable as possible. And we are joined in our conviction that the independent school world can offer unique and rich educational opportunities for young people.

  • An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England
    An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England, We, the heads of independent schools, comprising 176 schools in the New England region, stand in solidarity with our students and with the families of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The heart of our nation has been broken yet again by another mass shooting at an American school. We offer our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who died and are grieving for the loss of life that occurred. We join with our colleagues in public, private, charter, independent, and faith-based schools demanding meaningful action to keep our students safe from gun violence on campuses and beyond. Many of our students, graduates, and families have joined the effort to ensure that this issue stays at the forefront of the national dialogue. We are all inspired by the students who have raised their voices to demand change. As school leaders we give our voices to this call for action. We come together out of compassion, responsibility, and our commitment to educate our children free of fear and violence. As school leaders, we pledge to do all in our power to keep our students safe. We call upon all elected representatives - each member of Congress, the President, and all others in positions of power at the governmental and private-sector level – to take action in making schools less vulnerable to violence, including sensible regulation of fi rearms. We are adding our voices to this dialogue as a demonstration to our students of our own commitment to doing better, to making their world safer.
