A CONSOLIDATED HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT 230 SCHOOL THOUGHT MEANING ACTION VICTOR J. ANDREW HIGH SCHOOL 2019 -2020 MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL School Calendar 2020 is here! The dawn of a new decade and the second half of the school year is beginning. January is an important month for our students. Seniors are beginning their last semester at Andrew, Dates to Remember underclassmen are thinking about their classes for next year, and incoming freshmen are starting to make important decisions about their high school future. As parents, we try to do our best to pick the January right combination of involvement. We want to respect their growing independence, but we also want to 7 Classes Reconvene exercise our right to point them in the right direction - for their own good… 8 Mid-Year Graduation As a parent (of a high schooler, no less) and an educator, I struggle with this concept of “involvement”. 20 Martin Luther King Day - The only right answer is there is no right answer. However, there are three big ideas that I always No School encourage when having deep conversations with 13-18 years old’s about their bright futures. 24 Andrew’s Got Talent 7:00 PM • What’s the long-term plan? That question has a million different answers. As a parent, I never February tell him/her what I think their plan should be - unless asked - but I try to hold them accountable to it as long as they believe in their plan. The classes they chose, the grades they get, the sports / 17 President’s Day - No School clubs they join and the schedule they keep is all dependent upon the long-term plan (with some 26 Senior Academic Recognition Night, 7:00 PM exceptions, of course). As it changes, so does my advice and expectations. March • Do you have a clear idea of who you are? Again, a million different answers. 2 No School This includes career, where they want to live, who they want to hang out with, and 3 Parent/Teacher Conferences what do they want to spend their time doing. Although this is very broad, it helps (no student attendance), in assisting my kid make those micro-decisions about school and personal life. 12:00 PM - 7:00 PM If being a great athlete is who he thinks he is, then skipping the weight room 4-7 Variety Show, 7:00 PM is a no go. If she wants to sing, then quit complaining about practicing. 7 Variety Show, 3:00 PM Same would apply to selecting classes, choosing after-school activities, 10 Spring Band Concert, 7:00 PM or post-high school planning. 11 Spring Choral Concert, 7:00 PM • What do you LOVE to do (not like)? This is often the most 20 Early Dismissal, 1:00 PM difficult question because it leaves us the most vulnerable. Always 22-27 Spring Break establish that love of something can change, because it does. But finding 30 Classes Reconvene what you love to do and letting that drive decisions is always the key to stress reduction, less anxiety, and increased conversations between you and your kid. Again, we then talk about electives, clubs, or post- secondary planning as a result. I have kids that love traveling and new experiences, now I find myself researching study abroad programs (and how to pay for them!). Again, this is the parent and not principal - although I can never divide both and I offer no guarantee of the effectiveness of this strategy. However, in the 14 years of experience as a dad and 19 years as a school leader, I have Mr. Anthony J. Serratore, President seen the impact of coaching kids through short-term decision making by Mrs. Melissa Gracias, Vice-President Mrs. Susan Dalton, Secretary forcing them to think long-term has been effective, less stressful, and allowed Mr. Michael Hardek, Board Member the student to take ownership of their lives. Mrs. Kate Murphy-Peterson, Board Member I hope the stresses of opening a new year does not overwhelm you, and Mr. David O’Connor, Board Member Mr. Patrick O’Sullivan, Board Member know that our faculty and staff are here to help you along the way. We continue to value the partnership among all our families and students as Dr. James M. Gay, Superintendent we navigate these four years together.

Be prepared to provide your student’s last name and ID number. Watch for details to come! VICTOR J. ANDREW HIGH SCHOOL Registration For Next From Our Student Assistance Coordinator Year’s Classes The After-School Questions We Ask… And What Those Questions Really Say Students will begin selecting their classes for next year during the month of January. A If you ask your kid(s) questions after school in order to better understand what life letter detailing the process was sent home in is like for them while they are at school, then you’re off to a great start. Expressing December. A schedule of student registration interest and showing that you are available for your kids is incredibly important. But, appointments will be posted throughout the what kinds of questions are we asking our kids, and what do those questions say to building. Should you have any questions, our kids about where our priorities lie? please contact your student’s Counselor. When your kid(s) get home from school, it can be easy to jump into the same line of questions. How did you do on your test? How did try-outs go? Did you finish your homework? There’s nothing wrong with asking these kinds of questions, but what is the theme here? Seniors: Important These questions tend to revolve around accomplishments. Whether we mean to or not, these questions subtly imply to our teens that their Scholarship Information efforts at being successful students, athletes, etc. are of the utmost importance. We certainly want our kid(s) to be successful, but we also want to raise a generation that VJA Common Scholarship Application – is kind and caring. Expect to see this application in Mid-January; So, how do we do this? To start, it can be as simple as asking a new line of due early February. Deadlines will appear on questions. In addition to, and sometimes instead of, asking routine accomplishment- the application. Applications will be available focused questions, we can also ask, “How did you show kindness to someone in the Guidance Office and is open only to today? How did you make someone smile today? Who did you notice showing Andrew seniors. Approximately 40 different local compassion to someone else?” scholarships will be awarded to our students through this one application, including Rotary At first, your kid(s) may seem to appear confused, or even uncomfortable, by Club, VFW, Kirby, Bannes, memorial awards and these new questions. However, in time, these questions will become the norm, many others. and hopefully, your kid(s) will start to look for opportunities in the day to make kindness a priority.

The report gives a background of the school district, describes the 45-15 plan in detail, analyzes its effects on school and community, and chronologically summarizes significant events that followed implementation of the plan. The plan, developed mostly by professional educators from the district, was developed out of economic necessity and not primarily as an experiment. Under the plan, students in the district spend 45 school days in school and 15 school days out of school in each of four cycles. In order to have the school in continuous operation, only one fourth of the students are on vacation at any one time. Hence, the students are placed in four groups staggered by 15-day periods.

As the concept of the Winter 2020 Newsletter was being developed, it was decided that the district should share the many great things happening throughout Lockport schools and departments. In doing so, you will read about the numerous examples of pride relating to programs and people within the Lockport City School District. Below, you will find the four longstanding goals which guide all that we do in Lockport. 1. More students will achieve at higher academic levels; 2. Provide quality education in a fiscally responsible manner; 3. Achieve meaningful linkages and partnerships between Lockport City School District and business/industry and community; and 4. Create a district culture in which individuals are respected, continuously learning and focused on results. Related to the goals above, you should know that the four year graduation rate for Lockport Michelle T. Bradley continually exceeds the New York State graduation rate, and that of many similar small city school Superintendent of Schools districts in the state. Fiscal responsibility is taken seriously by the Board of Education. This is the time of the year when the Board of Education begins to focus on developing the school budget for the following school year. For updates relating to the 2020-2021 budget, you are encouraged to stay informed throughout the budget development process by visiting the district website.
