WELCOME TO THE
2009/2010 SCHOOL YEAR!!!
Mancos School District:
What a great place to work and go to school!!
What a great place to work and go to school!!
Mancos School District is proud to be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the high school, which has the distinction of being the oldest continuously operating high school, in the State of Colorado. We are proud of the education all of our students receive in our district and are grateful for the excellent students and staff we have and the continued support from our community. All three components working together make this district second to none.
This year we will continue to build and develop our Professional Learning Community with our goal to continuously improve upon student achievement. The concept of a Professional Learning Community is a philosophy, not a program, which focuses our school on four key questions when addressing student achievement. These four questions are: 1. Do we have a clear understanding of what we want our students to be able to know and do (guaranteed and viable curriculum), 2. How will we know when they (students) know it (assessment), 3. What will our response be when they do not get it, and 4. What will our response be when they do get it (both 3 and 4 are RTI or Response to Intervention). Necessary for a learning community is the time for staff to collaborate as an effective team. New to our district this year is our PLC late start, where each Monday students will arrive at 9:20, giving teachers time from 7:40 – 9:20 each Monday to work on and collaborate on the items necessary to improve student achievement. We are grateful to our board of education for granting this valuable, consistent time each Monday.
Another new and exciting opportunity this year is our administrative restructure. This year Jeanette Allen will serve as our K–12 Principal and her focus will be student achievement and educational leadership. New to our district is Mr. Kenneth Crowson, who will serve as our K–12 Dean of Students and his focus will be athletics, activities, discipline and educational management. We are fortunate to have two outstanding administrators such as Jeanette and Ken be part of our district and this restructure will allow each the time to focus on specific areas, resulting in more effective and efficient use of time and resources.
Last, but certainly not least, is our Strategic Planning Process. During the spring of 2009, we began with several community forums which included staff, students and community members. During those forums, over 600 comments were collected regarding the vision and direction of our school district. From that, a steering committee was formed and given the task of trying to categorize all 600 comments into a working direction. This committee developed three main categories, with three over-arching themes for each category. The three strategic plan categories are: Safety, entitled the 3 P’s of Safety, Student Opportunities, entitled OTIS or Opportunities Tailored for Individual Students and Curriculum and Delivery, focusing on 21st century skills and student-centered learning. The three over-arching themes for all are: student growth and achievement, school and community partnering together to provide students opportunities for success and guaranteeing programs are fiscally and educational sound. For each strategic plan category, a task force was formed and given the charge to create the vision for their particular category. Each task force is in the process of completing that vision and once they become board adopted, it will serve as our road map for the next 3 – 5 years.
There were some immediate needs identified during our forums that we are addressing. One of those is the need for music at the elementary level. A three-quarter time music teacher was hired to provide much needed music instruction to our elementary students and band instruction for our middle school students. Also, we have provided training for our staff on the Olveus Bullying Program and training for our math series, Everyday Mathematics. We are working with community members to partner with them as they offer activities for our students
K–12, including a guitar club at the elementary level, and the elementary staff, taking from the “OTIS” committee, will be providing extra-curricular enrichment activities for students on Friday afternoons and finally, through our administrative re-structure we are able to have one person focus on things like athletics and discipline. In other words, you spoke and we responded.

We still have many things yet to accomplish, but with the commitment from staff, students and the community, together we will continue to improve on the quality of education our students receive.
As always, if you have any comments, concerns or questions please feel free to contact me at 533-7748 or I can be reached at bhanson@mancosre6.edu.
