The Hudson School District has released the results of this year's NWEA Measures of Annual Progress and NECAP scores for grades 3-8 along with other assessment measures from Alvirne High School.  The District is proud of the growth that students are making and are encouraged to see that the new elementary reading program is beginning to show results.  During the 2010-2011 school year, fifth grade students will be introduced to the Scott Foresman program with the final year of adoption in 2011-2012 for sixth grade.  The district has also been working on a curriculum re-write in social studies and mathematics and hopes to add a mathematics textbook adoption to the 2011-2012 school budget.  With the extensive professional development with Professor Mahesh Sharma and the new curriculum and text, the district is hoping to see similar growth as seen in language arts.

The New Hampshire Department of Education has adopted the national core standards and Hudson is busy making sure that our curriculum is aligned with these new targets.  The state anticipates that in 2011-2012 the NECAP will be revamped to a national assessment.  While this will certainly make it impossible for the district to compare previous district performance with this new assessment, it will tell us how Hudson is competing nationally and in comparison to the new standards.

The Hudson School Board and the Superintendent of Schools, Randy Bell, charged the district with developing a Task Force to address the drop out rate.  Laura Bisson, School Board Member and Irene Sousa, Director of Special Services co-chair a committe of approximately 25 staff members who represent all levels of education.  The Task Force, which began its work last October has completed extensive research on the drop out epidemic and has begun to put priorities and plans in place.  The committee has crafted a new attendance and tardy policy for School Board consideration as well as a transition process that helps support students during crucial transition periods, such as second to third grade, fifth to sixth grade and eigth to nineth grade.  The district is focusing on three key components that are strong indicators that students are at-risk.  These indicators are referred to as ABC, attendance concerns, behavioral issues, and curriculum struggles.  In monitoring the ABCs, the district hopes to intervene early ensuring student success in school.
