At the January 15th School Board Meeting, Frost Lake once again received the Superintendent's Banner for Continuous Academic Achievement. At the meeting, I accepted the Banner on behalf of the many Frost Lake staff members who tirelessly give of themselves on behalf of our students. During this time of accountability for standardized State MCA II test scores, recognition of other equally important measures is important, for a more balanced perspective of student achievement. Last night, Frost Lake was recognized for the seventh time, in the past nine years, as a recipient of the Superintendent's Banner. This is a noteworthy accomplishment, of which I am very proud. Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is a measurement determined by the State that all schools must adhere to, or be placed on the AYP list. This year, Frost Lake is on an AYP warning list. Our spring MCA II test results will be very important for our school's status with the State. We need all students to try their very hardest to do their very best on these tests. We need and appreciate the support of all parents to encourage their children to do so on the 'high stakes' tests. ... SEEING IS BELIEVING... I encourage all parents, and prospective parents of Frost Lake students,
