Superintendent’s Report

A. The 2008-2009 University of Findlay-School Articulation Dual Enrollment Program has a very positive enrollment. Wayne Trace currently has 26 students taking 50 college classes. Mrs. Annette Sinn’s Physics 250 class has 10 students enrolled. Mr. Jack Baumle’s Calculus 141 class has 14 students enrolled. Miss Fisher’s Psychology 113 class has 19 students enrolled. Mrs. Olofsson’s Spanish IV class has 7 students enrolled. This program has been very beneficial the last two years. Wayne Trace students receive college credit during the regular school day without leaving the halls of Wayne Trace. They jump-start their college education at a fraction of the cost of attending college. They do not miss out on the high school experience. With the high cost of gas the students do not have travel expenses.

B. Jo Ellen Sisson and Carol Swary applied for the Student Achievement Grant sponsored by the NEA Foundation. The grant of $5,000 was received. Two elementary teachers, Jessica Davis and Trisha Beining, will be involved in this grant. The grant will furnish 2 mimios and a 34 unit Classroom Performance System. Congratulations to Carol and Jo Ellen for writing and receiving the grant. Thank you to Jessica and Trisha for implementing the grant.

C. Congratulations and a Big Thank You to Mr. Mike Archinal, Miss Spinner, and the Wayne Trace Band on their performance at Disney World. It was an honor to have our band chosen to perform.

We also thank the band parents who served as chaperones on the Disney trip.

D. Congratulations to Miss Marilyn Fisher for organizing the Relay for Life for the Wayne Trace student body. We appreciate all the students in grades 5-12 who participated in this event conducted at Wayne Trace High School.

E. Congratulations to Mr. Dave Snyder, Miss Sharon Spinner, and the cast and crew of Annie. The Wayne Trace Spring Musical was a smashing success. All three campuses had students involved in the Musical. It was a district wide musical that involved our entire community. We are proud of our drama department by integrating students from all three buildings into the Annie performance.

F. Congratulations to FFA students Andrew Klopfenstein and Chelsea Williamson. Chelsea Williamson was the state winner in the area of Fruit Production. Andrew Klopfenstein was State Winner in the area of Ag Mechanics, Repair, and Maintenance. Andrew was also the 1^st runner up in the area of Placement in Diversified Crop Production.

Subject: Principal’s Report for May

1- As of 5/3/08 WT Payne Elementary has answered 358,772 Study Island questions on the computer.

2- The Students did a fantastic job concentrating and working on their OATs. We had several volunteers come in and help administer tests to our resource room students. The teachers did a great job of preparing the students to take the test and relieve as much stress as possible.

3- The interview committee; Kevin Snyder, Tina Mead, Ashley Schaefer and myself; interviewed four very qualified candidates for the upcoming 5^th Grade position. All four candidates came with many positives. We are excited to recommend Mrs. Kelly Stouffer for the position. She has one son at Payne Elementary in first grade and one in preschool. She has subbed here on several different occasions, and she did a great job. She came with high recommendations from those she has worked for and with.

4- PTO Bingo was a huge success. The PTO spent a lot of time organizing and getting ready for Bingo. We had a ton of people attend. Thank you to the PTO and several husbands for all of their work. Also a big Thank You to Bill Childs and Jerry Crone for getting, setting up and taking back the tables and chairs to St. Johns.

5- We have three teachers attending the Differentiation Workshop. Ms. Boterf, Mrs. Hissong and Mrs. Berry will be attending. Next school year, they will be working with the rest of the teachers showing them what they learned and how it can be implemented within the classrooms.

Report to the Wayne Trace Board of Education

Monday, May 12, 2008

Wayne Trace Grover Hill Elementary – Alan Lautzenheiser, Principal

1. Ohio Achievement Tests were given to students in grades 3-6 the week of April 28. WTGH had 100% attendance in those grades during test week so no make-ups were necessary. Tests sent in during the make-up period are not guaranteed to be scored for our reports from the state in June.

2. I would like to extend my appreciation to support staff and volunteers who gave of their time to assist our students on IEP’s with their accommodations for the Ohio Achievement Test.

3. First grade students will be taking the Stanford test as well as the Otis Lennon before the end of the year. These assessments are used as screeners for gifted classes. The third grade students have taken the writing diagnostic and will be taking the Stanford tests as well.

4. Olympic/Carnival day will be held at WTGH on Tuesday, May 27. The rain day for this event will be on Wednesday, May 28.

5. Awards Day Assemblies will be held on June 5. Awards for grades 1-3 will be presented at 9:00 a.m. Awards for grades 4-6 will be presented at 12:45.

6. Kindergarten Recognition will be Monday, June 2.

7. The WTGH Battle of the Books team finished third at the Paulding County Battle of the Books.

8. The father of two of our students at WTGH has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. The Student Council is selling WTGH T-Shirts with the proceeds going to the family. The community will be having a benefit for the family in June. Several members of our staff and our students will be involved with this as well.

10. May 25 will be our final Curriculum Mapping work day of the year. The release time for mapping and the collaborative way of working on our curriculum maps this year has been very valuable. Elementary teachers will also receive instruction on Progress Book during the day.

High School Principal’s Report
May 2008
Kevin E. Wilson, Principal

Schedule for next year

As we look forward to next year we have a change to our schedule. We will no longer be spending time watching Channel One News. Instead this time has been incorporated into a 25 minute block of time to be used for extra help, academic assist, scheduling, or any other needs as seen by our staff. This 25 minute block of time will be placed between 7^th and 8^th period which should help with getting the junior high students organized.

OAT week

If the report from the students is any indication our scores should show great improvement over last year’s scores. During any opportunity I have had to speak with students I always asked if the material on the OAT seemed new or if they remembered covering it in class. In almost all situations the students could remember it being taught and felt this years test was easy.

High School Large Group State Competition

The Band and Choir each participated in at the state level this past weekend. Each received a “2” for their score. This was not as high as Mr. Archinal would have liked but taking into account all the factors such as time of performance (11:00 pm) on Friday for the Choir and then back at (9:00 am) for the Band, along with the placement of who you perform before or after it was not a terrible score. The Band and Choir students have worked hard during this past year in preparation for these contests and I know are a little disappointed. They will have a chance to show their talents to our community during the concert on May13th.

Graduation

Mr. Alt stated that he has forwarded a list of students for your approval. If you could approve this list with the understanding that a student is only approved upon completing the graduation requirements I would appreciate it.

Ohio High School Athletic Association

We need a resolution to become members of the OHSAA for the school year 2008 – 2009. This is done each year during either the May or June meetings.

Relay for Life

This was the second annual Relay for Life held Wayne Trace Jr/Sr High School. This year the event was held on Friday, May 2^nd. Many students, staff, as well as several cancer survivors participated even though rain tried to dampen the spirit of the event. The 5^th and 6^th grade students from WT Payne and WT Grover Hill were once again came to participate. One special guest came to spend the day with us. That special guest was Gerri Walcrak, Mrs. Ohio International. Mrs. Walcrak’s mother is a survivor of cancer. This is the main reason she participates in many Relay for Life events. She was invited to participate by Brittny Stahl. I would like to thank Brittny for taking the initiative to invite Mrs. Walcrak. This one day event was a major success. The students and staff raised a total of $7435 to donate to the American Cancer Society.

Exams

Senior exams are set for Tuesday, May 20^th through Thursday, May 22^nd. Graduation rehearsal will be on Friday, May 23^rd at 9:00 am. Underclass exams will be the final three days of school. Right now they are June 3^rd, June 4^th, and June 5^th. On the 3^rd students will take exams for periods 8 & 9, then on June 4^th they will take periods 1, 2, & 3 followed by Thursday with periods 4, 5 or 6, & 7.

Differentiated Instruction

Two staff members and I will be attending training on Differentiated Instruction on Monday, May 12^th and again on Tuesday, May 13^th. The teachers who will be attending the meeting with me are Ms. Fisher and Mrs. DeVelvis. These two ladies will be trained to come back and work with the WT staff as they incorporate Differentiated Instruction next year.

Volunteer

About two weeks ago I was approached by Betty Myers about her coming in to volunteer to work with any student who is in need of help. At this time she comes in on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 1:00 – 2:30 and is working with students in the subject areas of English and History. The students have been very receptive to having Betty work with them.

Wayne Trace High School Alma Mater

I was not aware until last year that Wayne Trace Jr/Sr High School did not have an Alma Mater. After speaking with several alumni they confirmed the fact that we truly do not have our own Alma Mater. Last year Mr. Archinal and I spoke about this and he volunteered to write one with the help of his friend at Crestview, Joel Miller. I have received a copy of what they wrote and will be asking the board to accept as the school Alma Mater. In my opinion it is very well done and is a good fit for Wayne Trace. If Mr. Archinal is able round up some students for Monday night they will be coming to the board meeting to perform this proposed Alma Mater. If he is unable I will have an alternative way for you to hear it.

Band at State Adjudicated Event

On May 2^nd and 3^rd, the High School Band and Choir participated in the OMEA State Adjudicated Event. This is the choir’s second year in a row participating while a first trip for the band in 10 years. Both groups competed in Class “C” and received an EXCELLENT rating of a (II). The band event took place at Findlay High School and the Choir performed at Van Buren High School. Both groups worked very hard to prepare and really did represent the school and community of Wayne Trace to their fullest.

High School Concert Band members are Taylor Baumle, Ethynn Brown, Ashley Chastain, Mac Clark, Janelle Davis, Brock De Long, Ashton Duer, Jalyn Egnor, Kayla Flint, Kelsey Gerber, Josiah Gordon, Simon Hessler, Amanda Hill, Katelyn Hughes, Kelsey Hughes, Dylan Jewell, Ashley King, Chelsea Klewer, Kylie Lake, , Krista Lambert , Erika Langmeyer, Adam Lassiter, Cassie McDougle, Marcie McDougle, Megan Miller, Emily Molitor, Hannah Myers, Cori Reuille, Allison Santo, Austin Scheiner, Brandon Shuherk, Dustin Taylor, Nathan Tumblin, Brittany Wannemacher, Jessica Wenninger, Brittany Wilcox, Tim Willborn, and Angie Young
