NEWMARKET SCHOOL DISTRICT
About School District: District Mission Statement-The Newmarket School District is committed to the highest standards of quality education. We ensure a safe and successful learning community. We embrace diversity and respond to the social, emotional, intellectual and physical needs of every child. We strive to work with the broader community to ensure that students develop lifelong skills enabling them to be contributing and productive members of society.The Newmarket School District continues with their mission to provide to the students the highest standards of quality education. In working to achieve this goal there have been a number of successful initiatives implemented in the school system. Four major themes have been entwined into the work in the district. Throughout the district, the use and interpretation of data is assisting to drive change in instruction and learning. Assessment tools are being utilized to measure student learning and effectiveness of the curriculum. This year data has been gleaned from a number of sources including the Aims Web based reading inventory and the New Hampshire Assessment Test. In addition, the district will be utilizing the Northwest Educational Assessment, a standardized test to provide additional information in the core subject areas. Classroom teachers are using data to assist with the decisions around instruction. The result of the 2006 state assessment test at grades three, six and ten indicate that at all grade levels the students met the adequate yearly progress as established by the No Child Left Behind Legislation.In addition to the goals for data driven change, the district is immersed in an evaluation of the educational facilities in the community. The Newmarket School Board has charged a community based facilities committee to investigate, gather input and evaluate the needs of the district in terms of appropriate learning environments. To date, the community has participated in a survey and educational space requirements have been evaluated. During the year, recommendations will be presented by the facilities committee for further analysis by the community.The final goal for the year will be to continue to link the schools to the broader community, ensuring that students have an opportunity to provide service to the community as well as the citizens having opportunities to participate in school events. During the last year a collaborative effort was developed with parents, the Newmarket Recreation Department and school district to establish a support program to assist students in their integration into the community. Through the support of several grants, a Friendship Facilitator was hired to assist students. The community connections are very important in Newmarket and the business partnerships that have been established are another means of creating a positive learning environment for the students
