SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE At the start of the school

and CPSB Facebook page. After a
brief hiatus, I am also pleased to
announce the publication of
SHARE 2.0, the official newsletter
for Calcasieu Parish Schools.
During this time of ever

newsletter serves as an additional
tool in our communication efforts
directed toward highlighting the
extraordinary things that our
students and employees are
accomplishing.
As this school year moves
forward, you will find that the
quarterly editions of SHARE 2.0 will
keep you informed on our district

While controversies related to education are
continually making headlines, our newsletter will

JOHN WHITE VISITS J.D. CLIFTON raise pre-k enrollment and better prepare children
for future success in school.
Superintendent Savoy and CPSB Director of
Early Childhood Education Sheryl Piper spoke on the
success of the CPSB Universal Pre-K program, which
was launched in early August.
White toured Head Start, pre-k, and
kindergarten classrooms before holding an open
forum with leaders in the education and childcare
fields in SWLA. He touted Calcasieu, one of the 15
parishes statewide participating in the pilot program,
as a model for the Louisiana Department of
Education to work from as they develop upcoming
policy changes that would set the certification/
degree requirements for all early childhood
educators.
State Superintendent
John White visited J.D. Clifton
Elementary School in October to
discuss early childhood education
in Louisiana and the early
childhood network pilot in
Calcasieu Parish. The pilot program
combines the efforts of the
Calcasieu Parish School Board,
Head Start centers, and child care

NATIONAL ANTI-BULLYING CAMPAIGN VISITS OAK PARK By Lance Traweek | Special to SHARE 2.0
RaShad Bristo, who was born without an arm, talked to
students at Oak Park Elementary about how bullying affected his
childhood and about the power of choice.
The students took part in a national campaign against
bullying.
Bristo said he started being bullied as early as
kindergarten, but he said his grandfather told him one day that his
disability doesn’t define him but his determination does. He said all
bullies will try to tap into a students’ insecurities.
“You can focus on your future or your feelings,” he told the
students. “People will label you just to limit you.”
At the program, Michelle Bain, a children’s book author,
read her book “Splotch the Madpole,” which delved into the topic of
bullying through a bullying tadpole.
The children signed their name on a board, pledging they
would not be a bully.
The board titled “No Bullying Zone” will be on display in
Washington, D.C., and Oak Park Elementary students will be the
only children in Louisiana to sign the board.
Imari Colston, who is in the fifth grade,
said it’s important that her and her classmates
learn “that it’s not safe to be a bully.”
“I learned that it’s mean to be a bully,”
Colston said after the assembly. “You should be a
leader instead of a follower.”
Fifth-grader Kemal Robertson agreed.
“If you’re a bully, you’re never going to have
friends,” Robertson said.

MUFFINS FOR MOMS AT T.H. WATKINS ELEMENTARY
SHARE 2.0
2012– 2013 DISTRICT, SCHOOL REPORT CARDS
"The overall goal is to have parental involvement. When parents are involved, children do better in school. Chil-
dren tend to just shine and they love to have their parents here. They love knowing that their mom, dad, grandparents are
involved," Kay Victorian, principal, T.H. Watkins Elementary School.
The Calcasieu Parish School
Board ranks as a top “B” school district
according to the latest school
performance scores released on Oct. 24
by the Louisiana Department of
Education. Overall, letter grades
improved in the district with 5 A, 25 B, 13
C, and 13 D rated schools with only one
school receiving the “F” rating. From
2011-2012 school year, the district
nearly doubled the number of schools
with a “B” rating, which shows a trend
toward higher achievement across the
district.
This is the first year under a new
system of scoring meant to simplify the
scoring formula while raising standards
for student achievement. With the new
formula, letter grades are assigned on a
scale similar to a classroom grading
scale: scores 100 and above earn an “A”
while scores below 50 earn an “F.”
Statewide, several trends in
student achievement connect directly to
the new formula: fewer students are
attending failing schools, more students
than ever are achieving gains on state
assessments, and high school students are
demonstrating greater levels of college and
career readiness.
As a district, CPSB will continue to
work toward improving student
achievement by providing students,
teachers, and parents with the necessary
tools to make that possible.

CPSB LAUNCHES UNIVERSAL PRE-K PROGRAM
CPSB WELLNESS PROGRAM BEGINS WITH SUCCESS In an effort to encourage
healthier employees, the Calcasieu
Parish School Board established an
employee wellness program; led by
Skylar Giardina, risk manager for the
school board and fitness enthusiast.
“Making a commitment in your
life to better living not only improves your health, but also changes
your attitude in the classroom or office and boosts camaraderie
among fellow teachers and staff,” Giardina said.
In partnership with CHRISTUS St. Patrick, CPSB held their
first Health and Wellness Fair, offered introductory fitness classes,
and rolled out the new fitness incentive program, which rewards
participants for regularly attending a fitness center. Additionally,
Wellness Warriors have volunteered to be responsible for encouraging
healthier living and distributing wellness information to employees at
each school and office location.
On November 2, the school district will hold the “From the
Classroom to a 5K” race at the Lake Charles Civic Center for all CPSB
employees and their immediate family. The event is free for all runners
and walkers. After the conclusion of the 5K, a 1-mile fun run will take
place for children and adults. Race-day registration will be from 6:30-
7:20 a.m.
In a move to provide more children in the parish with a
quality education, the Calcasieu Parish School Board began
offering a universal pre-k program on Aug. 20. The program is
now tuition free to all enrolled participants, and immediately
placed the more than 500 children on the pre-k waiting list into
classrooms at no cost.
The new program employs a district-wide curriculum in
all pre-k classrooms. Creative Curriculum, which is already in use
in the CPSB’s Head Start programs, is aligned to the new
Louisiana Birth-5 Standards. State Superintendent John White
has praised CPSB as a leader in early childhood education in the
state.
The school board, Head Start programs, and childcare
providers in Calcasieu parish, one of the 15 parishes chosen to
participate in the early childhood education network pilot
program, are working together to move toward placing all four
year olds in Calcasieu in a pre-k program in order to boost
preparedness.
CPSB’s universal pre-k now has 2,500 students enrolled
in schools across the parish.
“When Mr. Savoy informed me that the new program
would be adopted by our schools this year, I was overcome with
emotion; as were many of my colleagues,” said Sheryl Piper,
CPSB director of early childhood
education. “Since I was assigned to the job as
district coordinator of pre-schools in 1998, I
have always been very passionate about my
vision to see all children, regardless of income
status, receive a quality education that will
prepare them for kindergarten. That vision has
become a reality.”
