We have excellent staff, a good plan for the future, and the ability to move forward into a strong leadership position in the coming years. Our District Improvement Plan and our School Improvement Plans are based on proven, research-based strategies and on data-driven decision-making. Authentic assessments are used to analyze student progress. Data driven decision making has been adopted throughout the district and now guides instructional decisions. Schools utilize specialized literacy and numeracy teachers to augment classroom teaching, along with block scheduling, common planning times, and positive behavior strategies. Successes at one school are shared among staff at other schools. The community continues to invest in its schools. We are in the process of constructing three new K-8 ele- mentary schools, with one ready to open this fall, and we are planning for a new Waterbury Career Academy High School as well as a new PreK-8 Carrington School. We have also begun renovations at our Alternative Education building. We are moving forward to become Professional Learning Communities, where students, teachers and ad- ministrators are committed to learning and helping each other to excel. This year Kennedy High School was granted accreditation once again, and our Bucks Hill School pre-school annex was accredited through NAEYC. Both Crosby High School and Waterbury Arts Magnet School received visiting committees as part of their quests to receive ac- creditation. On the next several pages you will see some of the highlights from this past year. You will also read individ- ual reports from our top administration, including our Assistant Superintendents, our Chief Operating Officer, our Supervisors, other administrative staff and our Principals. As you review these reports, you will discover a vibrant and thriving community where teaching and learning is going on every day and where high expectations and strong parental involvement remain important keys to success. Although we have been faced with many challenges and opportunities this year, we have met each with cour- age and strength. As we close out this year, we are looking forward to new and greater levels of student achievement throughout the school system in the coming year. Sincerely, David L. Snead, Ph.D. 3 Central Office Staff Superintendent of Schools David L. Snead, Ph.D. Assistant Superintendent, Curriculum and Instruction Paul V. Sequeira, Ed.D.

Theriault Waterbury Public Schools Board of Education ... The Vision – Present and Future The Vision: The Waterbury Public School district envisions a world in which urban children can compete and succeed in the new millennium. This vision will become a reality by creating a world that is free of drugs, violence and crime. Every child should be provided the opportunity to be raised in a loving environment, where people respect and support one another. The world we create must allow for diverse opinions that are freely expressed. Support and direction from local, state and national policies will help people to achieve their goals and their aspirations and to better their quality of life. Our community must be self-sufficient and self-reliant to successfully meet the global challenges of the 21st cen- tury. Our community must be inter-dependent and value cooperative partnerships for sharing resources. People must be able to live, work and attend school in a clean, safe and healthy environment. People must also be em- powered to achieve their greatest potential. Our expectations must represent the highest standards in the areas of ethics, behavior, academic achievement, technology, and inter-personal relationships. Family units must be sup- portive of each other, assume responsibility and be actively involved in the creation of a better society. Mission Statement: The mission of the Waterbury School System is to establish itself as the leader in Connecticut for urban educa- tion reform in partnership with the State Department of Education and the entire Waterbury community. The school system will provide opportunities for all students to maximize their skills and talents in an atmosphere where teaching and learning flourish under the never-wavering belief that all students can be exemplary students, while becoming respectful, responsible, productive citizens vital to our community. 6 Waterbury’s District Improvement Plan 2008-2011 DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN – KEY STRATEGIES AND INTERVENTIONS Current Status of District Improvement Plan – The Waterbury Public School district is in the process of implementing its most recent District Improvement Plan.

    Waterbury Development Corporation 2012-2013 Annual Report Waterbury Development Corporation 83 Bank Street 3rd Floor Waterbury, CT 06702 2012 Annual Report 1 It is with great pleasure that I offer this report on the operations of the Waterbury Development Corporation (WDC) for 2012-2013. As you will see, this organization’s efforts remain at the heart of a vast range of economic and community development activities on behalf of the City. While this past year has seen its share of challenges, the pages that follow also represent an amazing story of success as we work together to build Waterbury’s future. I am honored to have joined this organization in May and to serve as its new Chief Executive Officer. I view the progress of this past year as a testament to the support and involvement of our Board of Directors and key City stakeholders, an extraordinary team here at the WDC, and of course to the leadership of my predecessor Leo Frank. I would ask that you take particular notice of the Community Impact Map on page 4. While this report provides a narrative of the various activities of our organization, I believe that this map is a powerful reminder of the incredible breadth and scale of WDC’s engagement in partnership with the City of Waterbury. As a key partner in creating a stronger business base, more vibrant neighborhoods and a better quality of life for our City’s residents, I look forward to the opportunity of building an even stronger and more effective organization in the year ahead.

  • Waterbury Public Schools ANNUAL REPORT 2010‐2011
    Waterbury Public Schools ANNUAL REPORT 2010‐2011 CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION Assistant Superintendent of Schools for Curriculum & Instruction Paul V. Sequeira, Ed.D. School year 2010-2011 was a balanced and productive one in all areas of the Curriculum and Instruction Department. In addition to the academic accomplishments, purchasing, implementation, and training in technology were at their highest ever. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act gave the district the opportunity to invest in technology for every school. This investment came with a built-in training module for staff on SMART Boards and hand-held technology. Perhaps the greatest inroad made in the district has been the development of the data warehouse, a vital tool for accessing a myriad of data for efficient operation of the school system. The Center for Curriculum & Research is proud to state that technology has grown over the last four years, bringing the district to a technological forefront amongst surrounding school districts in terms of hand-held technology, and SharePoint/Excel/Data Collection. Content supervisors have worked diligently in seeking and securing grant funds towards this end. Our greatest challenge will be the preparation for online testing for all students by 2014. As such, grants and district efforts through general funds will be fully explored for this initiative. • ENHANCING LITERACY THROUGH SCHOOL LIBRARIES GRANT Waterbury received this grant from the US Department of Education three times for a total of $1.4 million. Most of the money has been encumbered on technology which has increased motivation and student learning in the district. All 20 elementary schools participated, so we have equity across the district.
