CLOONAN ART STUDENTS EXHIBIT at SACKLER GALLERY in DISTRICT-WIDE EXHIBITION

Over 30 Cloonan Middle School Art students participated in a student art exhibition celebrating Black History Month. A reception, open to the general public, was held on Sunday, February 11 in the Sackler Gallery at Stamford's Palace Theater.   This year’s theme, "Healthy, Active and Wise-Make Health a Habit!" explored health and wellness issues as they relate to the African Caribbean or African American cultures. Fitness/activity, healthy eating/hygiene and positive thinking and stress management, were some of the suggested topics.   The show was sponsored by The Stamford Center for the Arts in partnership Picture That, LLC which sponsors the annual event, and a consortium of civic organizations. Next year’s theme, already announced, will focus on The Tuskegee Airmen, and specifically, the Red Tail unit recently depicted in a major motion picture.   Cash awards of $50.00 each, went to several Cloonan eight graders for their acrylic paintings.  All students received a certificate of participation to honor their creativity and hard work.   For more information contact Valerie Cooper at 203-977-8203 (www.picture-that.com)

Breakfast with the Administration

Please join Mr. Tate and Ms. Mody for a continental breakfast and informal chat. This is another opportunity to ask questions about Cloonan, Middle School Transformation, developmental challenges of early adolescence or anything else that's on your mind. It's also an opportunity to share your feedback and observations. All are welcome. We will start at 9 am on Wednesday January 18.

 

What is our School Improvement Plan?

Every year each of the Stamford Public Schools develops a unique plan for targeting and improving student achievement. These plans are developed in alignment with the Strategic District Improvement Plan which has been submitted to the state. Here is Cloonan's SIP along with remarks which I made to the Board of Education Curriculum Committee at their meeting on November 15. As we go through the year this plan will be adjusted as necessary based on data we develop from our students' performance. 

 

What is Efficacy and how does it apply to my child?

Efficacy is an important part of the work we do to develop our young people. It is also important that we know and understand your point of view as parents on this important concept. We have been provided a survey for Parents to help us understand what we do and how the work is perceived. Please participate in this online survey by following the hyperlink. Here are instructions for completing the survey. Thank you.

Cloonan Takes a Stand

Cloonan’s Anti-Bullying Pledge

I’m doing this for the better

Today and tomorrow

I know bullying is wrong

I won’t sit there and watch

I can’t bear anymore

I know that together we can stop this

I can make a change

Make a difference

And be a leader

In my life, bullying is not ok

Bullying is bad

Bullying hurts, I can stop it

Next time, I will

Smile at a stranger, Say a kind word

Make a new friend

And, make Cloonan a Bully-Free Zone.

A careless word may kindle strife,

a cruel word may wreck a life.

It only takes a minute to cause hurt,

but sometimes a life time to repair.

Students' Pledge

STUDENTS' PLEDGE

SAID WITH YOUR HAND OVER YOUR HEART:

       

I am a work in PROGRESS.

I’m not done LEARNING and

I’m not done GROWING.

I can get SMART and IMPROVE.

Being “smart” is not a gift but a REWARD,

If I WORK HARD and DON’T GIVE UP.

I will not fear MISTAKES.

I will ask for HELP today so that tomorrow,

I will be a STRONGER, more CONFIDENT person.

I BELIEVE in ME.
