On behalf of the Accountability, Accreditation, and Assessment
Board Subcommittee (“AAA” or “Triple A”), I would like to welcome everyone
to our 7th year at Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen.
The Purpose of the AAA Board Subcommittee is to collaborate with the Director,
Faculty and Board of Directors in order to measure the health and effectiveness
of our academic program.
We meet on the third Tuesday of each month at 3:30 and
our meetings are open to everyone.
The voting members from our school community who serve
on AAA
Nancy Fiore – Chairperson and Board Liaison
Ryan Lucas – Director of RMAE
Cherie Mazurek - Teacher Representative (1st grade teacher)
Consultants to AAA
Roseann Jalbert (Student services coordinator)
Debbie Caruso (Preschool Director/Junior-kindergarten teacher)
Marcey Newman (Pre-Kindergarten Teacher and Assessment Coordinator)
Heather Burgbacher (Technology Teacher and Study Island coordinator)
What does AAA do? The RMAE Strategic Plan objectives for
our committee are as follows:
- Evaluate the effectiveness of RMAE’s educational
program
- Communicate with the parent body regarding expected educational
standards and educational results
- Hold the administration and staff
accountable for meeting stated objectives and results
- Review components
of the educational program to make recommendations for improving
instruction
These objectives will be accomplished in many
ways, but primarily because of the dedication and cooperation
of everyone
at
RMAE. Many opportunities
exist for parents and staff to be involved with
AAA without having to become a formal member of the committee.
We
will let you know
in advance about when meetings will take place
and what is on the agenda.
Look for dates in the calendar in your weekly
Grizzly Growl and also on the RMAE Web site
Meeting agendas will
be posted
on the outside doors at the main school and the
preschool 2-3 days prior to meetings. There is always time at
the beginning of our
meetings for public comment. Though not required,
it is
nice if I know in
advance of meetings whether or not there will
be
public comment in order to
allow sufficient time. AAA updates and other
news will be sent
home in the Friday folder several times during
the year.
A copy of the
AAA Information Resource Binder is located
in both the main school
and Preschool front office. The purpose of the
Information Resource Book is to provide information and material
for parents and staff regarding the academic
programs at RMAE.
The Information
Resource
Binder will contain meeting agendas, meeting
minutes, committee members and phone numbers,
new regulations
from the state
or district that
we have to incorporate into our program, curriculum
maps for each grade, all subject plans, CSAP
test scores, school
report
cards,
class and
school goals, the accreditation plan for RMAE
and much more.
Our meetings are open to the public and are held the third
Tuesday of each month from 3:30 – 5:45 p.m. in the staff lounge.
Staff and parents are encouraged to attend these informative meetings
to
find
out what is going on with various parts of RMAE’s academic programs.
Warm regards for a great school year,
Cheryl Hadsell
Chairperson
Accountability, Accreditation, and Assessment Committee
