Operation Preparation 2016

I am in the process of planning our annual Operation Preparation event for Royal Spring Middle School students. The event will take place on March 10th. We will provide 8th grade students with one on one advising sessions in the morning from about 8:30-11:30 AM. In the afternoon we are planning to have a traditional college/career fair that all of our students will be able to attend. If you or anyone you would know would be interested in volunteering, please contact me as soon as possible at nellie.poe@scott.kyschools.us or 502-570-2390 EXT 2391. We will need LOTS of volunteers from a wide variety of careers to host a successful event for our students! Please view the links to the right for the information that will be sent home with students and the volunteer form to share.

ILP Completion is Beginning at RSMS

I will begin working with students to complete the required portions of their ILP's this week. I am hoping to work with all students before our holiday break in December. Please ask your child about his/her ILP progress.

The ILP (Individual Learning Plan) is a phenomenal tool for all students. Kentucky creates an account for public school student in grades 6-12. Each year in school there are specific activities that students complete; however, they have access to it and can add information to it at any time. The ILP provides students with an online location for college and career planning. 

Things students can do with their ILP:
keep up with accomplishments--service, activities, awards, and recognitions
find career interests and research job outlook
research college paths for careers or just general college information
look for and apply for college scholarships
create a resume
look for jobs

I will have a parent meeting November 5th at the PTSA general meeting to share everything you need to know about the ILP. Please contact with me questions.

Fall MAP Testing

We have just finished our first round of MAP testing. Students completed assessments in math, reading, and language usage. Teachers have been discussing students' growth and goals for the next round of MAP testing that will take place in December. Fall MAP scores were attached to each child's midterm.

Additional information about MAP testing can be found by clicking the link on the side or clicking here.

Operation Preparation--Still Need Volunteers

Operation Preparation is two weeks away and we are still in need of many volunteers to make this a successful event for all of our students. 

The morning session will take place on March 13th from 8:30-11:30. All of our 8th grade students will have the opportunity to speak one on one with an adult volunteer who is currently working in a career field that the student is interested in. We are looking for volunteers to talk to students about the appropriate path to take to reach their goals and answer questions that they might have about the job. All volunteers will be served lunch following the advising sessions.

I'm still looking for volunteers to talk to students about the military(1), medical professions(2), performing arts/design(4), CSI/Detectives(1), athletics(2), social worker/counseling(1), technology/animator/video game design(2), veterinarian/biologist(1), artist(1). (The number is how many volunteers are needed.)

​Also we would like to have at least 10 more booths for our afternoon College/Career Fair. This is for all 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. Tables are provided. Please come early for a volunteer lunch and then enjoy your afternoon sharing with our students about your career. The fair will take place on March 13th from 12:00-2:30. 

If you would be willing to meet with our students about careers in any of these areas, please contact Nellie Poe at 502-570-2390, ext. 1392 or nellie.poe@scott.kyschools.us. 

Operation Preparation Volunteers Needed

We still need volunteers for Operation Preparation so we can host a successful event for our students.

We need volunteers to participate in the morning advising sessions. This will consist of meeting one on one with an 8th grade student to discuss career options that the student is considering and possible paths to follow to get there. You will be assigned students in your career area to meet with for approximately 15 minutes. Online training is available on the KDE website. These sessions should begin about 8:30 and wrap up by 11:45. Even if you are only available for an hour I can make it work.

We need volunteers for the afternoon, too. This will consist of college and career booths set up for 6th, 7th, & 8th grade students to browse through and gather general information. Students will come in groups of about 70 and will have 15-20 minutes to visit the booths. The students should begin visiting booths around 12:00 and be finished by 2:30.

Please let me know as soon as possible if you are interested in participating in any way.
