1 YOUR SCHOOLS Galena Park ISD Volume 11, Number 1 Back to School 2008 Trustees vote to rename Freedom Elementary in honor of Dr. Shirley J. Williamson Random drug testing policy in place for Galena Park ISD is enacting random student drug testing for all students in grades 9-12 who participate or intend to participate in schoolsponsored competitive extracurricular activities beginning in the school year. GPISD trustees unanimously adopted the policy during the July 14 Board of Trustees meeting. The district was previously notified that it received a Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Dr. Mark Henry, superintendent of schools, said trustees felt that this policy is a proactive measure to help maintain a drug-free environment for all students. The use of illegal drugs poses serious health and safety risks to our students, Henry said. This policy is not intended to be punitive in nature, but it should serve as a deterrent to the use of illegal drugs and to provide students with yet another reason to resist peer pressure. The policy states that a written parent consent form, including both parent and student signatures, is required before a student is eligible to participate in school-sponsored competitive extracurricular activities. Participation in schoolsponsored competitive extracurricular activities is a privilege and not a right; refusal to consent to random drug testing will result in the denial of participation in the identified extracurricular activity. Participation is defined to include practice, competition, and involvement in events. at Green Valley Elementary in 1984 and moved to the Administration Building as director of elementary education in She became astor or superintendent. All in all, Shirley J. Williamson (Neeley) has spent the better part of the last five decades in Galena Park ISD. The 1966 graduate of Galena Park High School began her educational career at Pyburn Elementary in 1954 before moving on to Woodland Acres Middle School. Williamson was heavily involved in all aspects of her high school career and was even part of the prestigious Jacketeer dance team. Williamson couldn t stay away from education for long as she began her career as a first grade teacher at Richey Elementary in Pasadena ISD in The University of Houston graduate soon began feeling the tug of the emotional ties to GPISD and returned to the district as a teacher at MacArthur Elementary in Dr. Gerald Cobb was Superintendent of Schools at the time and the two formed a strong friendship that has lasted until today. Williamson s leadership skills were quickly evident and she became assistant principal in 1977 and was named principal of Mac- Arthur in Williamson was named principal Students will be chosen for testing by a computer generated random selection process conducted by a contracted drug-testing vendor. Any student identified for random testing for a given date but whom, because of illness or any other legitimate reason, leaves school before the test is performed shall be included in the next random screen. Refusal on the part of any student to participate in a scheduled or random test shall be considered as a positive result. Students who are not involved in extracurricular activities but would still like to be tested may volunteer to be placed in the random drug-testing pool with a signed parental consent form. Drug testing will include, but not be limited to, the following substances: Amphetamines/Methamphetamines (stimulant; speed, diet pills, uppers) Cocaine metabolite (central nervous system stimulant; crank, crystal) Opiates (pain killer; Oxycodone, Darvocet, Vicodin) Cannabinoid (depressant; Marijuana) Barbiturates (depressant, downer, sleeping pills; Amytal, Butisol) Benzodiazepines (antianxiety medication; Valium, Xanax, Librium) Ethanol (depressant; alco- Inside this issue: Page 2 Crisis Plans Message from the Superintendent Foundation Page 3 Varsity Football and Volleyball Schedules Season Football Ticket Info Galena Park ISD trustees recently voted to honor former Superintendent of Schools and Commissioner of Education Dr. Shirley J. Williamson (Neeley) by renaming Freedom Elementary in her honor. The name change will be in effect for the school year. Even though the name of the school will change, the colors and mascot will remain. The mascot will be the Freedom Lions and the colors are still purple and gold. Freedom Elementary, which opened in 2005, earned the title of Exemplary status from the Texas Education Agency for the school year. The Board felt that it was time to honor a person who has spent the majority of her life in Galena Park ISD, said Wayne Oquin, president of the Board of Trustees. Shirley Williamson grew up in this community. She attended school in this community and spent 30 years working in this community. She more than deserves this honor.

2 Your Schools A Message from the Superintendent Galena Park ISD A TEA Recognized School District! Doesn t that sound great? Thanks to your commitment to providing the very best for our students Galena Park ISD has indeed achieved the status of Recognized. In fact, GPISD is one of the largest Recognized school districts in the entire state and that status would not be possible without YOU. Students, you are to be commended for your efforts on the statemandated tests. Thank you for your good attendance and for doing your best in the classroom. Parents thank you for your support of your students and of our incredible family of educators. Let me also thank our wonderful staff for keeping the education of our students first and foremost. I hope all of you took time this summer to spend time with family members, friends and loved ones. The rising price of gasoline may have impacted some of our plans but I truly hope that you enjoyed safe travel and most importantly got some well-deserved rest. The new school year will bring many changes to our district. The Board of Trustees decided to rename Freedom Elementary, which opened in 2005, in honor of Dr. Shirley J. (Neeley) Williamson, former GPISD Superintendent and Commissioner of Education for the state of Texas. You can read more about the Board s decision and Dr. Williamson s incredible career in this issue of Your Schools. Another change this school year is that 10th grade students on the north side of the district will attend the renovated North Shore Senior High School. Thanks to the addition of a new classroom wing, an expanded cafeteria, new band hall and new administrative offices, North Shore Senior High has added 130,000 square feet to its campus. Ninth grade students on the north side of the district will attend the North Shore Senior High School Ninth Grade Center on Holly Park. While we are extremely proud of the Recognized rating, we always feel that there is room for improvement. We made great strides in student attendance during and I would like to see that figure continue to increase. It s no secret that one of the keys to continued learning is for students to show up to class and be ready and willing to learn. Students cannot learn as well if they are not at school. I am asking all parents and GPISD community members to continue to make good student attendance a priority. Making sure each student is at school every day is a powerful way to ensure success in school and beyond. Enjoy the remaining days of your summer break! It certainly won t be long at all until more than 21,000 smiling faces burst through our campus doors on August 25 the first day of school. Let s keep up the great work and do whatever we can to help our deserving students. SUPPORTING THE FOUNDATION Johnnie Rountree, Director of the GPISD Education Foundation (right), greets North Shore product Cory Redding at the Redding 3D football camp at GPISD Stadium on June 28. Redding, a 1999 North Shore graduate and starting defensive lineman for the Detroit Lions in the National Football League, recently gave back to the community he grew up in by becoming a sustaining partner of the Galena Park ISD Education Foundation. Back to School District crisis plans in place The beginning of the school year is just around the corner and district officials would like to remind you that there are plans in place to ensure student safety on each and every campus. The district s Crisis Procedures Manual is updated continually to give district employees the most current available information in order to provide safety for students and all staff members. Every employee in the district receives one of these manuals. Two procedures listed in the Crisis Procedures Manual that gather a lot of attention are Shelter In Place and Lockdown. Should the situation arise a campus may activate one of those two procedures to better protect district students, employees and visitors. The emergency procedures are defined below. While the two procedures are somewhat similar they are used for different reasons. SHELTER IN PLACE This procedure is used during chemical releases, fires or other environmental hazards such as a tornado warning or other weather-related situation. SHELTER IN PLACE means all windows and doors are locked and the air conditioning system is shut down. NO ONE is allowed to enter or leave a building that has activated SHELTER IN PLACE procedures. This means parents WILL NOT be able to pick up children from school. To open the doors at any time would jeopardize the health and safety of children and employees. Therefore, it is safer to keep the students inside the building rather than expose them to possible harm by allowing them to leave the building. Once the ALL CLEAR is given, students, teachers and other employees will return to their regular activities. Please note that if you live or work near a school that is sheltering in place, you should also shelter in place at home or at your workplace. LOCKDOWN This procedure is activated when an intruder invades the premises. All doors, windows, classrooms and administrative offices are locked. Students, teachers and employees remain in their classrooms/offices until the ALL CLEAR signal is given. Under lockdown procedures, NO ONE will be allowed to enter or leave the building. The local authorities will provide assistance, if needed. The district asks parents to respect the usage of such procedures and reminds all parents and community members that there are legal ramifications for violating a SHELTER IN PLACE or LOCKDOWN. Individuals who violate a SHELTER IN PLACE or LOCKDOWN situation on a campus may be charged with criminal trespassing or disruption of a campus activity. SCHOOL CLOSING INFORMATION For information regarding school closings due to inclement weather or emergency conditions check the district s website - or monitor the following television or radio stations: Channels 2, 11, 13, 26, 39, 45 and 47 and radio stations KTRH 740 AM, KPRC 950 AM, KLAT 1010 AM, KKBQ 92.9 FM and KLTN FM.

Inactivated Polio (IPV) 5. Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) 6. Varicella (VAR) 7. Pneumococcal Conjugate (PCV) 2, 4, 6 months; Booster 12 to 15 months 8. Hepatitis A - 2 doses are required aftr the 1st birthday All immunizations should be completed by the first day of attendance. However, if this is not possible, a child may be provisionally enrolled for 30 days and allowed to attend a childcare facility or school, provided at least one immunization in the series has been received. If, at the end of the 30-day period, a student has not received a subsequent dose of vaccine, the student would not be in compliance and the school shall exclude the student from attending until the required dose is administered. For example, Hepatitis B vaccine (HepB) is given in a series. All infants should receive the first dose of Hepatitis B vaccine soon after birth and before hospital discharge. The second dose is recommended at age 1-2 months and the vaccination series should be completed (third or fourth dose) before age 6 months. See a physician to be sure your children have received vaccinations according to schedule. The Almatha Clark Taylor School-Based Health Clinic, located at Cloverleaf Elementary, and the Southside School-Based Health Clinic, located on 16th Street near Main Street in Galena Park, can assist parents in securing early immunizations for their children.

Neeley, her contagious energy and enthusiasm combined with an unrelenting desire to ensure that every student in Galena Park ISD achieved their highest potential led the district to unprecedented academic achievement. The district earned an Exemplary rating from the Texas Education Agency the largest district in the state to earn that honor from Williamson Elementary is located at 6720 New Forest Parkway right next to Dr. Gerald D. Cobb Sixth Grade Campus. Dr. Cobb was a mentor to Dr. Williamson throughout her career and it seems fitting that their schools named in their honor are almost side-by-side. Another piece of GPISD history that ties the two together is that Bobbie Cobb, wife of Dr. Cobb, taught shorthand to Williamson at Galena Park High School. A formal dedication of Williamson Elementary is scheduled for September 23. RANDOM DRUG TESTING continued from Page 1 restroom or other private facility in a closed stall. Neither the supervising official nor the testing representative will directly observe the student providing a urine sample. The urine sample will be collected in a sealed specimen collection container. The student will provide the collected sample to the testing representative. The urine sample will then be divided into two parts in the student s presence. Sample A will be used for the initial testing while Sample B will be frozen and reserved for outside testing in the event of a challenge of the positive test result by the student or parent/guardian. All costs associated with testing the second half of the sample will be the responsibility of the student and parent/guardian. Students who receive a first time positive result will be suspended from participating in extracurricular activities for two weeks from the date of the positive test. Those students will be referred for substance abuse counseling and will also be required to test again at biweekly intervals. These counseling sessions will provide an opportunity for parents to intervene and obtain any help that may be needed for their child. Students who test positive a second time will be suspended from participating in extracurricular activities for four weeks from the date of the positive test. Those students will be referred for substance abuse counseling and will also be required to test again. Students who receive a positive result for the third time will be suspended from participating in extracurricular activities for the remainder of the year and possibly the next school term. Those students will be referred for substance abuse counseling and will also be required to test again. Wellness Plan developed by district Jonathan Zalamea, valedictorian of North Shore Senior High School brings greetings during graduation ceremonies at the Toyota Center on June 1. He will attend the University of St.Thomas this fall. Each campus in Galena Park ISD has developed a specific Wellness Plan with their students best interest and health in mind. This plan encourages all students to eat healthy and participate in physical activities such as walking, roller skating, playing group sports or swimming, in order to reduce childhood obesity and prepare students to become healthy, productive citizens and life-long learners. All elementary and middle school campuses will continue to promote healthy lifestyles for students through the CATCH program (Coordinated Approach to Child Health). CATCH teaches students how to eat healthy as well as the importance of physical activity. These are values that will last a lifetime. We invite all families to also become involved in this health initiative. Why not begin this school year by planning regular physical activities, whether it is taking an evening walk or bike ride together, playing kickball, volleyball or soccer in the yard, or practicing throwing a baseball? Whatever physical activity your family enjoys, take the time to engage in play with your child. It will be healthy for all of you. DID YOU KNOW? Sugar and Our Health In general, people eat too much sugar choosing soft drinks, candy and sugary snacks instead of healthy foods. The result is often unhealthy weight gain, which can cause or contribute to a number of serious health conditions. While dairy and fruit products have sugar and can lead to excess calories, they seldom contribute to weight gain. Brittney Rodriguez, salutatorian of North Shore Senior High School brings greetings during graduation ceremonies at the Toyota Center on June 1. She will attend the University of Texas this fall.

El Dr. Mark Henry, superintendente de las escuelas, dijo que los miembros de la Mesa Directiva consideraron que esta política es una medida preventiva para ayudar a mantener a todos los estudiantes en un ambiente libe de drogas. El uso de drogas ilegales expone a nuestros estudiantes a serios riesgos de salud y de seguridad, indicó Henry. Esta política no pretende ser de carácter disciplinario, sino que debe servir como un elemento disuasorio para el uso de drogas ilegales y proporcionar a los estudiantes otra razón para resistir la presión de los compañeros. La política establece que un formulario de consentimiento escrito por el padre, incluyendo ambas firmas, la del padre y la del estudiante, es requerida antes de que un estudiante sea elegible para participar en actividades extracurriculares de competencia patrocinadas por la escuela. La participación en actividades extracurriculares de competencia patrocinadas por la escuela es un privilegio y no un derecho; negarse al consentimiento del examen de perintendente. En resumen, Shirley J. Williamson (Neeley) ha pasado la mejor parte de las últimas cinco décadas en Galena Park ISD. Graduada de la Escuela Preparatoria Galena Park en el año de 1966 inició su educación como estudiante en la Primaria Pyburn en el año de 1954 antes de irse a la Escuela Secundaria Woodland Acres. Williamson estaba muy involucrada en todos los aspectos de su carrera en la preparatoria y también formó parte del prestigioso equipo de danza Jacketeers. Williamson no pudo estar por mucho tiempo alejada de la educación, y así comenzó su carrera como maestra de primer grado en la Primaria Richey en Pasadena ISD en el año de La graduada de la Universidad de Houston pronto comenzó a sentir el impulso de los lazos emocionales a GPISD y regresó al distrito como maestra a la Primaria MacArthur en el año de El Dr. Gerald Cobb era el Superintendente de Escuelas en aquel tiempo y los dos establecieron una enorme amistad que perdura hasta el momento. Las habilidades de liderazgo de Williamson fueron evidentes rápidamente y se convirtió en Subdirectora en el año de 1977 y fue nombrada Directora de MacArthur en el año de Williamson fue droga al azar tendrá como resultado la negación a la participación en determinada actividad extracurricular. La participación está definida para incluir la práctica, competencia y la participación en eventos. Los estudiantes serán elegidos para el examen por un proceso de selección al azar, creado por una computadora llevado a cabo por un proveedor contratado para examen de drogas. Cualquier estudiante identificado para el examen al azar en una fecha determinada, pero los cuales, debido a enfermedad o a cualquier razón válida, deja la escuela antes de que se realice el examen será incluido en la siguiente evaluación al azar. La negativa por parte de cualquier estudiante a participar en examen programado o al azar será considerado como un resultado positivo. Los estudiantes que no están involucrados en actividades extracurriculares pero les gustaría hacerse el examen, pueden brindarse como voluntarios para ser colocados en la lista de examen de drogas al azar con el formulario de consentimiento del padre firmado. El examen de drogas incluirá, pero no se limita a, las siguientes sustancias: Anfetaminas/ Metanfetaminas (dopantes; aceleradores, pastillas de dieta, estimulantes) Cocaína metabólica (estimulante del sistema nervioso central; polvo, cristal) Analgésicos (calmantes; Oxicodona, Dextropropoxyphene, Vicodin) Cannabinoide (depresivo; Dentro de esta edición: Page 8 Planes en Caso de Crisis Mensaje del Superintendente Fundación Página 9 Equipo Titular de Fútbol y Calendarios de Voleibol Información de Boletos para la temporada de Fútbol Los miembros de la Mesa Directiva de Galena Park ISD recientemente votaron para honrar a la anterior Superintendente de Escuelas y Comisionada de Educación, la Dra. Shirley J. Williamson (Neeley), dándole un nuevo nombre a la Primaria Freedom en su honor. El cambio del nombre estará en vigor para el año escolar Aunque el nombre de la escuela cambiará, los colores y la mascota permanecerán igual. La mascota será Freedom Lions y los colores continúan siendo morado y dorado. La Primaria Freedom, la cual abrió sus puertas en el año 2005, obtuvo el título de estatus Ejemplar por parte de la Agencia de Educación de Texas para el año escolar La Mesa Directiva consideró que era el tiempo de honrar a una persona quien ha pasado la mayoría de su vida en Galena Park ISD, indicó Wayne Oquin, presidente de la Mesa Directiva. Shirley Williamson creció en esta comunidad, asistió a la escuela en esta comunidad y pasó 30 años trabajando en esta comunidad. Más que nada ella se lo merece. Williamson pasó casi su prestigiosa carrera completa de educación en Galena Park ISD, ya fuera como estudiante, maestra, administradora o sunombrada directora de la Primaria Green Valley en el año de 1984 y se fue al Edificio Administrativo como Directora de Educación Primaria en el año de Se convirtió en asistente superintendente Vea PRIMARIA WILLIAMSON, página 5 Marihuana) Barbitúricos (depresivo, tranquilizante, pastillas para dormir; Amytal, Butisol) Benzodiazepina (medicamento contra la ansiedad; Valium, Xanax, Librium) Etanol (depresivo; Alcohol) Alucinógenos (alteración de la percepción; hongos alucinantes, mescline, ácido, LSD) Phencyclidine (anestésico, alucinógeno; PCP, polvo de ángel (fenciclidina)) Los exámenes se llevarán a cabo a través de medios científicos, usando prácticas aprobadas y procedimientos establecidos por el proveedor contratado y la administración de Galena Park ISD.

8 Sus Escuelas Mensaje del Superintendente Galena Park ISD Un Distrito Escolar Reconocido por la Agencia de Educación de Texas (TEA por sus siglas en inglés)! A caso esto no suena grandioso? Gracias al compromiso de proporcionar lo mejor para nuestros estudiantes, Galena Park ISD actualmente ha alcanzado el estatus de Reconocido. De hecho, GPISD es uno de los distritos escolares más grandes en ser Reconocido en todo el estado y este estatus no sería posible sin USTED. Estudiantes, ustedes son dignos de elogio por sus esfuerzos en los exámenes estatales obligatorios. Gracias por su buena asistencia y por hacer su mejor esfuerzo en el salón de clases. Padres gracias por el apoyo a sus hijos y a nuestra increíble familia de educadores. También quiero darle las gracias a nuestro maravilloso personal por mantener la educación de nuestros estudiantes en primer lugar. Espero que todos ustedes hayan tomado tiempo para compartir con sus familiares, amigos y seres queridos. El aumento en el precio de la gasolina pudo haber afectado algunos de nuestros planes pero verdaderamente espero que hayan disfrutado de un viaje seguro y lo más importante haber tenido un descano bien merecido. El nuevo año escolar traerá muchos cambios a nuestro distrito. Los miembros de la Mesa Directiva decidieron darle un nuevo nombre a la Primaria Freedom, la cual abrió sus puertas en el año 2005, en honor a la Dra. Shirley J. (Neeley) Williamson, anterior Superintendente de GPISD y Comisionada de Educación para el Estado de Texas. Puede leer más sobre la decisión de la Mesa Directiva y de la increíble carrera de la Dra. Williamson dentro de esta edición de Sus Escuelas. Otro cambio para este año escolar es que los estudiantes del 10º grado en el lado norte del distrito asistirán a la renovada Escuela Preparatoria North Shore Senior. Gracias a la nueva adición de un ala de salones de clases, la ampliación de la cafetería, un nuevo pasillo para la banda y oficinas administrativas nuevas, la Preparatoria North Shore Senior ha agregado 130,000 pies cuadrados a su escuela. Los estudiantes del 9º grado en el lado norte del distrito asistirán a la Escuela Preparatoria North Shore Senior Centro para 9º Grado ubicada en la calle Holly Park. Si bien estamos muy orgullosos de la calificación de Reconocido, siempre nos parece que podría mejorarse. Hemos hecho grandes progresos en la asistencia de los estudiantes durante el año escolar y me gustaría que esa cifra continuara aumentando. No es un secreto que una de las claves para continuar aprendiendo es que los estudiantes se presenten a clases todos los días y estén listos y dispuestos para aprender. Los estudiantes no pueden aprender si no están en la escuela. Pido a todos los padres y miembros de la comunidad de GPISD hacer de la buena asistencia de los estudiantes una prioridad. Asegurar que cada estudiante esté en la escuela todos los días es una manera poderosa para garantizar el éxito en la escuela y fuera de ella. Disfruten los días restantes de su descanso de verano! Sin duda no pasará mucho tiempo hasta que más de 21,000 caritas sonrientes entren por las puertas de nuestras escuelas el 25 de agosto el primer día de clases. Vamos a mantener el gran trabajo y hacer todo lo posible para ayudar a nuestros dignos estudiantes. APOYANDO A LA FUNDACIÓN Johnnie Rountree, Director de la Fundación para la Educación de GPISD (derecha), saluda a Cory Redding un fruto de North Shore en el campamento de fútbol Redding 3D en el Estadio GPISD el 28 de junio. Redding, graduado en 1999 de North Shore y quien comenzó como Defensor de Línea de los Leones de Detroit en la Liga Nacional de Fútbol, recientemente retribuyó a la comunidad en la que creció al convertirse en socio para ayudar a la Fundación para la Educación de Galena Park ISD. Regreso a la Escuela Planes del Distrito en caso de crisis en el lugar El inicio del año escolar está a la vuelta de la esquina y a los oficiales del distrito les gustaría recordarle que existen planes para garantizar la seguridad en cada una de las escuelas. El Manual de Procedimientos de Crisis del Distrito es actualizado continuamente para brindarles a sus empleados la información disponible más actualizada para poder proporcionar seguridad a los estudiantes y a todos los miembros del personal. Cada empleado en el distrito recibe uno de estos manuales. Dos procedimientos que figuran en el Manual de Procedimientos de Crisis del distrito que captan mucha atención son Refugio en el lugar y Encierro. En caso de que una situación se presente la escuela puede activar uno de estos dos procedimientos para proteger mejor a los estudiantes del distrito, empleados y visitantes. A continuación se definen los procedimientos de emergencia. Aunque los dos procedimientos son similares se utilizan por diferentes razones. REFUGIO EN EL LUGAR Este procedimiento es utilizado durante escapes de químicos, incendios u otros peligros para el medio ambiente tales como, advertencia de tornado u otra situación relacionada con el clima. REFUGIO EN EL LUGAR significa que todas las ventanas y puertas son cerradas con llave y el sistema de aire acondicionado es apagado. A NADIE se le permite entrar o dejar el edificio en el que se han activado los procedimientos de REFUGIO EN EL LUGAR. Esto significa que los padres NO pueden recoger a sus hijos de la escuela. El abrir las puertas en cualquier momento podría poner en riesgo la salud y la seguridad de los niños y de los empelados. Por lo tanto, es más seguro mantener a los estudiantes dentro del edificio que exponerlos a posibles daños al permitirles dejar el edificio. Una vez que el anuncio de TODO DESPEJADO es dado, los estudiantes, maestros y otros empleados regresarán a sus actividades regulares. Por favor tome en cuenta que si usted vive o trabaja cerca a la escuela que está con refugio en el lugar, usted también debe refugiarse en su casa o en su lugar de trabajo. ENCIERRO Este procedimiento es activado cuando un intruso invade el local. Todas las puertas, ventanas, salones de clases y las oficinas administrativas son cerradas con llave. Los estudiantes, maestros y los empleados permanecen en sus salones de clases/ oficinas hasta que el anuncio de TODO DESPEJADO es dado. Bajo los procedimientos de encierro, a NADIE se le permite entrar o dejar el edificio. Las autoridades locales proporcionarán ayuda si es necesario. El distrito pide a los padres que respeten el uso de tales procedimientos, y les recuerda a los padres y a los miembros de la comunidad que hay consecuencias legales por violar un REFUGIO EN EL LUGAR o ENCIERRO. Los individuos que violen una situación de REFUGIO EN EL LUGAR o ENCIERRO en una escuela podrían ser sancionados por invasión criminal o interrupción de la actividad de una escuela.
