Home of the Vikings Board of Education Jerry Jaixen Mary Ann Schreiber Keith Runge Lakeview Community Schools 3744- 83rd Street Columbus, NE 68601 Phone- 402-564-8518 Russ Freeman- Superintendent Board of Education Ryan Loseke Daniel Pabian Timothy Mueller November 3, 2014 Dear Patrons, The federal education legislation, No Child Left Behind, mandates that all students must be proficient on reading and math academic standards by 2014. Schools are expected to make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) toward that goal. The State of Nebraska’s goals for the 2013-14 for Reading and Math were 100% proficiency and will continue to be 100% until the law or regulations change. Additional information about how our school district compared to other school districts in the state is available on the State of the Schools Reports. Past and current reports are available now at the web site: http://reportcard.education.ne.gov/Default_State.aspx If a school does not meet the state goal two years in a row, in the same grade level and same subject, they are identified as “In Need of Improvement.” A school can be released of “Needs Improvement” status after all subgroups meet the AYP goals for two consecutive years. Platte Center Elementary is in year 1 of Title I “Needs Improvement” status. Groups of students in reading did not meet the performance goal for the previous two years. Examples of the data involved are included in the chart below: Grades 3-6 Platte Center Grades 3-6 Shell Creek Grades 3-6 State of Nebraska Reading 2012-2013 2013-2014 63% overall 70% overall 79 69 77 77 Math 2012-2013 2013-2014 72% overall 80% overall 77 76 69 71 Because of the PLAS (Persistently Low Achieving Schools) status, the Platte Center Title I School Improvement Compact Committee will develop and implement a multi-year plan to help the subgroups meet the goals. We invite you to be apart of this committee to assist the school in improving Reading scores. We want you to be involved with your child’s education. Feel free to contact your child’s teacher to discuss ways you can assist your child in his/her education. You may contact Mr. Schrunk if you are interested in more information on the committee or improvement plan. Please call him at (402-246-3465) if you have any questions about the plan to improve the academic achievement of all subgroups at Platte Center Elementary or if you would like to participate on the committee that will develop and monitor the School Improvement Plan. Since Shell Creek Elementary, our other Lakeview elementary school, is on the PLAS list as well, there is not another District option for school choice. Sincerely, Daryl Schrunk, Platte Center Principal Lakeview Jr.-Sr. High School 3744 - 83rd Street Columbus, NE 68601 Steve Borer – Principal Jake Shadley – Assistant Principal/Activities Kurt Frenzen – JH Dean of Students Tom Lange – JH Activities Director Phone: 402-564-8518 Fax: 402-564-5209 Russ Freeman, Superintendent Platte Center Elementary Box 109 (155 Platte St.) Platte Center, NE 68653 Daryl Schrunk – Principal Phone: 402-246-3465 Shell Creek Elementary 16786 - 280th Street Columbus, NE 68601 John Mlinar – Principal Phone: 402-564-8008
