After Prom Party 12

Though it is hard to imagine that another school year is coming to a close,

we must focus on preparing for a number of events that signal the end of the

school year. I would like to salute the efforts of our staff, students, and par-

ents in making this a successful year. The work of volunteers and others

from our community has added tremendously to what we do as an academic

institution. While we appreciate all that has been done and achieved, there is

still a great deal left to do.

We are busily preparing for spring assessments during the month of March.

The assessment process is a very important component to culminating the

school year. The process of evaluating student achievement includes High

School Assessments (HSAs); the ACCUPLACER Exam, a College Board

test that assesses a students skills in order to determine appropriate college

course placement; Advanced Placement (AP) Exams; and semester exams

for seniors as a result of the early graduation date of May 31, 2011. These

assessments not only signal the closing of the school year, but they repre-

sent national, state, and county instruments used for measuring the level of

student success. (continued on Page 2)

GRADUATION: DAR CONSTITUTION HALL

TUESDAY, MAY 31, 2011 AT 10:00 am.

MAGRUDER WILL BE CLOSED ON MAY 31.

The beginning of this fourth marking period signifies our final Courier edi-

tion for this school year, and my final edition as president. Although the

school year is coming to an end the PTSA remains busy. We continue to

have staff appreciation events in upcoming months, with the famous Salad

Bar Extravaganza in May. The PTSA is also currently sponsoring a

school supply drive to support the Biology teachers and their Interactive

Biology Notebooks. A detailed list of supplies needed and directions on

where to place donations can be found on page 11. (continued on Page 3)

Principals Perspective: ByMr. Lee Evans (continued from page 1 )

The HSAs are a graduation requirement that every student must fulfill in order to complete state

guidelines to receive a Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) diploma. Specific informa-

tion regarding final exams for students in grades 9, 10, and 11 will be distributed late in the spring.

We are confident that all of our students are prepared to meet these challenges.

This time of year also begins preparation for graduation. Graduation for the class of 2011 will take

place on May 31, 2011 at 10 a.m. at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. School will be

closed on May 31 in order to permit staff, families, and friends of graduates to attend the

graduation. We will be sending a letter home to parents of seniors in addition to holding a gradua-

tion meeting on Wednesday, April 27 from 7 to 8 p.m. This meeting will provide parents with an

opportunity to ask questions and receive additional information not included in the letter. March and

April are very important months for our seniors as they prepare to bring to a close their experience in

Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). We will be making every effort to ensure that the con-clusion of their experience at Magruder High School is positive.

It is time to set our sights on the 2011-12 year, which will begin with our annual Leadership Week in

July. During this meeting staff, students, and parents will develop our School Improvement Plan

(SIP) for the 2011-12 school year. This plan will serve as a blueprint for achieving success for every

student in the Magruder High School community. I will be sending letters to parents asking for par-

ticipation in this annual process. If you are interested in participating in this meeting, please contact

Ms. Christine Gibson, Administrative School Secretary, at (301) 840-4607. It is this collective effort

and the partnership in education that allows us as a community to meet the challenges of an ever-

changing society.

I look forward to working with all of you to end this year on a positive note and establish the neces-sary procedures that will lead to a successful 2011-12 school year.

During the first semester, Magruder High School experienced a surge in student absences from classes,

tardiness to class, tardiness to school, and students leaving the campus during lunch. We believe that

this recent change in student behavior is related to the abolishment of the Loss of Credit (LC) Policythat has existed for many years. In an effort to eliminate excessive unexcused tardiness and absentee-

ism, we have implemented two procedures. We have instituted a warning bell that sounds one minute

prior to the final bell. Teachers assign lunch detention to their students who are one minute late after

the final bell. Students who arrive two minutes after the final bell without an excused pass are sent to

the auditorium or cafeteria for the remainder of the class period and are issued an after school deten-

tion. The student is responsible for making up any missed assignments or class work. Students who

fail to serve the detention are assigned to an In School Intervention, where they are not permitted in the

classroom but are provided with their work. Students who leave campus during lunch are assigned to

an In School Intervention as well. Due to these initiatives, we have seen a reduction in the number of

students who are in the halls after the bell sounds as well as those who are tardy to class.

In an effort to deal with students leaving during lunch periods, we have security

staff who patrol the student parking lot during lunches and we also have camera

surveillance of the student parking lot.

Your support of these initiatives can play a significant role in eliminating these

behaviors in our students.

New Attendance Initiatives By Mr. Lee Evans

Page 3Magruder High School Courier Apri l , 2011

The Academics Committee is currently working on the PTSA scholarships awarded to students in May,

and the After- Prom Committee is down to its last few weeks of preparation. Parent volunteers and

food donations are still needed for the April 30 th event. This is a wonderful opportunity for parents of

all grades to support our students with a safe alternative post prom. You can find additional informa-

tion about After-Prom inside this issue. The wheels are in motion for the 2011-2012 school year, with

nominations for officers to be made during the April PTSA meeting, and voting to follow in May.

Also during the April meeting, we are planning to have a student panel present to discuss the college

application process and share their insights. I would be remiss if I did not thank the many parents who

supported the PTSA and Magruder High School throughout this year. Your work is greatly appreci-

ated, whether working in the limelight or behind the scenes. We will truly miss our graduating parents

and thank them for the years of volunteerism. I must single out one graduating parent at this time -

Patty Winters. Patty has spent her four years at Magruder advocating for the health and safety of ourstudents. It was her dedication and hard work that brought the Every Fifteen Minutes program to Ma-

gruder in 2009 and again in 2011. She has spent countless hours organizing volunteers and raising

funds to support this program. The Magruder community has truly benefitted from her efforts.

Thank you, Patty.

April 2011: SSL: Develops Critical Thinking Skills

High school students enrolled in the National, State, and Local Government course have the opportunity toearn 7 SSL hours during Semester A, and 8 SSL hours during Semester B for their full participation in theSSL aspects, and successful completion of the course.All SSL organizations and opportunities must be preapproved. Choose from organizations tagged,Approved SSL MCPS on the website www.mcpsssl.org and organizations tagged, MCPS SSL ApprovedOR get MCPS Form 560-50, Request for SSL Preapproval granted in advance of any service.Keep copies of all SSL forms. The official SSL hours are reflected on quarterly report cards. Check out theSSL record and discuss any discrepancy immediately with the school-based SSL coordinator.Service performed during the second semester can be turned in any time during the semester. The latest dateto turn in documentation of second semester service is the Friday before exams begin (June 3, 2011). Seniorhours are due before that date.

Providing direct service to individuals in assisted-living facilities and nursing homes is the only exception toserving with nonprofit organizations. Be sure to get an MCPS Form 560-50, Request for SSL Preapprovalsigned in advance with organizations that are not tagged as Approved SSL MCPS.

May 2011: SSL: Promotes Positive School/Community Relationships.

Memorial Day May 30, 2011 is a fine time to get involved in service through school or community organiza-tions. Secure documentation of service using MCPS Form 560-51, Student Service Learning Activity Verifi-cation.All forms required to document SSL are found on the website www.mcpsssl.org or at any middle or highschool. Completed forms become part of each students record.Students should make copies of all SSL documentation.

Support preapproved nonprofit organizations in the community by providing high quality, dependable ser-vice. Make a positive impact!All service for which SSL hours are awarded must be performed in a public place. The only exception tothis is students may earn SSL hours by making bag lunches at home and delivering them to a county home-less shelter. SSL hours are awarded based on the number of meals delivered.

June 2011: SSL: Produces Real Results.

Summer is a great time to get involved in high quality service-learning. Search the websitewww.mcpsssl.org to find something meaningful.During the summer months when school-based SSL coordinators are not in their buildings SSL questionsand requests for preapproval may be referred to the SSL Office 301-279-3454.

Students may earn 1 SSL hour for every hour of service during the summer months. (maximum 8 hours in a24-hour period).All secular service for which SSL hours are granted must occur in a public place under the supervision of anadult representing a preapproved, legitimate, nonprofit, tax exempt organization.Well-written reflections on MCPS Form 560-51 become part of a students permanent record. Taking timeto construct a complete legible reflection paragraph is a good idea.

We will have significant changes to our leadership group of Booster Club Board Members next year.

Rose Hendrickson has been a Board Member for 12 years! She has acted as both our Treasurer and

Concession Manager, and has continued to stay active long after her daughters have graduated. She is

the smiling face that most of you see working away to make sure the concession operation works

smoothly during games. Rose has been instrumental in building our selection of Spirit Wear products

and has done a great job managing our finances. After 12 years of hard work Rose is moving on and

we will really miss her.

Mike Sally has been a Board Member for 3 years and has managed our Spirit Wear operation, which

has grown significantly during that time. He has also been our all around fix-it guy at the Conces-

sion Stand. We also appreciate Mikes wife Lisa for all of her help with the Spirit Wear operation as

well. Mikes many contributions will be missed. I too am leaving after serving as President for the

past 6 years, as both of our sons have moved on. I am proud of the results that we have achieved dur-ing the past 6 years in support of Magruder Athletics. We have successfully funded many facilities

improvements (fields & courts enhancements, scoreboards, etc.) and have provided many teams with a

variety of equipment, gear, technology, etc.

I would like to thank the MHS Administration, our Athletic Director Karl Heimbach, our

Coaches and our current and past Board Members for their support.

In addition to Rose and Mike, our current Board Members include Bill Leffingwell (VP), Earle Barnes

(Web), Werner Ochoa (Secretary), John Fitzgerald and Jay Barden. They work very hard to make the

Booster Club work.

In this era of rising costs and budget cuts, it is now more important than ever that we work together toensure that our students have the equipment and facilities to support their efforts on behalf of MHS ath-

letics. Thanks to those of you who have joined the Booster Club by making a tax deductable donation

in the form of our Membership. We also really appreciate those volunteers that help us out in the con-

cession standwe all have fun in the process. In closing, I would like to encourage more of our Par-

ents to get involved in the Athletic Booster Club moving forward. This is a great way to get engaged at

Magruder as a member or a volunteer, while being part of your students high school experience. We

now need some active parents to step up and join our Board to help carry our efforts to fund athletics

forward.

PTA FACILITIES By: Dawn Trahern, Chairperson

Finance Academy Internships and General Internships

IT IS OFFICIAL! The Magruder cafeteria will receive a facelift. Plans have been completed and

work will begin this summer. The new kitchen design will allow for additional food lines which will

greatly assist students in getting their lunches even quicker. This upgradewill also allow for several new food options; however, those options have

yet to be determined. Lets be surprised! Mr. Evans is also working with

MCPS Food Services to obtain vending machines that provide lunch foods

rather than just snacks and if approved, this too will help students obtain

lunch foods quicker and provide additional variety. As a bonus to these al-

ready great plans, the administration is working with MCPS facilities to de-

sign an outside dining area. Plans and location of the outside dining are be-

ing worked on as you read this article. Let your students know that they

should look for some fabulous additions to their lunch experience.

The Academy of Finance, a member program of the National Academy Foundation, addresses theneeds of the financial services industry by providing high school students with the education requiredfor success and a skilled educated workforce able to meet the needs of the 21st century employ-ers. One goal of the Academy of Finance is to prepare interested students for a career in business orfinance through a combination of coursework and on-the-job experience. The Academy achieves thisgoal through cooperative efforts of educators and local business partnerships. The Academy is seeking

local businesses (of any kind) with a financial office or financial professionals/businesses to offer in-ternships this summer and/or fall for Academy students. This internship must be compensated.(compensation can be defined as a stipend, scholarship or even a $50 gift card)

General Internships:Magruder High School is also seeking general internships in various fields of study (healthcare, educa-tion, business, science) for summer and fall. These internships do not require financial compensation.

Advantages to Business:Participate in a program that helps to nurture and teach students to be productive citizens and talentedprofessionals.

Community reinvestment credit for banksTax credits for businessNatural progression for recruiting employeesForum for the exchange of information about business and educationSustained employment levels in the summer months.

Business/professionals interested in more information about the programs can contact Ms. Jane Cockerat Jane E [email protected] .

ENGLISH COMPOSITION ASSISTANTS AT MHS By: Ms. Laura Prizzi

What does an English Composition Assistant do?

English Composition Assistants responsibilities vary from high school to high school and cover a wide

variety of tasks throughout the school year. The following is a list of some of our duties at Col. ZadokMagruder High School:

Work directly with students of all grade and skill levels on any English assignment

Work with students one-on-one at lunch, as well as before and after school, as needed

Offer support and resources to English teachers, as necessary

Monitor three computer labs, which includes troubleshooting, maintenance for some computer

issues, and scheduling

Teach daily lessons on research paper to 11th grade students. Topics include: locating credible

research information; writing a thesis, preview points, and supports for each preview point; cre-

ating parenthetical documentation correctly; and formatting documents properly for title pageand works-cited page (We are considered teachers while instructing the research paper, so stu-

dents have two teachers in the classroom.)

Plan our own lessons for research papers for various grades, which includes creating work-

sheets to help with organization and developing quizzes on research paper vocabulary, works

cited, and parenthetical documentation

Teach and assist students with use of various computer software programs, such asNoodletools, PowerPoint, and Word 2007

Create and present PowerPoint presentations on the various topics, including grammar

Edit and grade papers for grammatical and mechanical errors

Assist with proctoring MAP-R (Measures of Academic Progress) testing, maintaining book-rooms, printing and scanning county formative assessments, bookkeeping for Independent Ac-

tivity Funds for AP classes; and helping coordinate the summer reading program at MHS.

How has the job changed?

In the past at Magruder HS, the English Composition Assistants worked exclusively with the ninth-

grade English classes the first semester and then the eleventh- grade English classes second semester.

Our assistance is now available to any English class of any grade, although second quarter is dominated

by the eleventh grade because of the research paper. Previously, the computer labs were used by the

English department for English assignments only. Now, all departments have access to labs, and stu-

dents are allowed to work on any subject before school, after school, and during lunches.

How do English Composition Assistants benefit students?

We are another resource students can use for English composition assignments, college essays, and

writing assignments for other subjects. Come see us, we will be glad to help!
