NEW YEAR, NEW PRINCIPALS Bondurant Middle, Capital Day and Frankfort High get new leadership BY KATHERAN WASSON STATE JOURNAL STAFF WRITER

Students at three local schools will meet new principals on the ﬁrst day of classes. Here’s a preview of their goals for the upcoming year and some of their academic background.

Bondurant Middle School – Casey Sparrow Principal Casey Sparrow and his staff have been focusing on three items this summer: what they teach, how they teach it and a literacy initiative. Part of that is updating the school’s curriculum to meet the state’s new math and English standards and developing classroom tactics to engage all students. “Things that used to be taught in freshman and sophomore classes has

now been brought down to eighth grade,” Sparrow said. “That increase in standards is overwhelming right now to our staff, and it will be a transition period. It will be a couple of years before we have things in place to have them really prepared for when they go to the high school.” Sparrow is still preparing for the Back to School Bash, which will bring students, parents and community agencies to the front lawn Aug. 4 from 5-7 p.m. He’s made several new hires – at least one at each grade level and several in special areas, like technology, music, health and physical education. Unless there are last-minute surprises, Sparrow says next year’s staff is in place. They will gather soon for a picnic to meet each other, he says. “I think our biggest strength is our staff, and that’s one of the things that

Casey Sparrow brought me over here from Western Hills,” he said. “Our staff is very knowledgeable and experienced, and they understand the transition from elementary to middle school and also from middle to high school.” Sparrow has introduced the motto “Every Brave, Every Day,” incorporating the school’s mascot of the Brave into the staff’s pledge to reach every child, no matter his or her background. “We’re trying to publicly announce that we are going to care about every student in our building,” he said. “We want to try to prepare them for the 21st century and the ever-changing global society we live in.” Sparrow says he’d like to welcome parents and community members into the school. Parent involvement peaks at elementary school and drops off dramatically as kids get older, he said. He is searching for a new Parent Teacher Organization president, and asks that anyone interested in the position contact him. “That’s one of the things that I want to bring to Bondurant Middle School,” he said. “That students, parents and community members understand that we are an inviting school, that we want them to be involved.” Sparrow has served as assistant principal at Western Hills High School since 2004. He previously worked as dean of students at Covington Holmes High School and taught at Anderson County High School.

He is a graduate of Franklin County High School. He received a bachelor’s degree in education from Taylor University in Indiana, and a master’s from Eastern Kentucky University. He is married to Lisa Cox Sparrow, and the couple has a son, Austin.

Capital Day School – Debra Adkins Debra Adkins doesn’t have to travel far for her new position as head of Capital Day School – she just walked down the hall. A former middle school science teacher, Adkins, 47, has worked at CDS since 1996. She has served as assistant head of the school, middle school director and admissions director, has coached the Governor’s Cup academic team and has sponsored the Science Club. “So all those things have helped prepare me,” she said earlier this month, sitting in her old classroom at CDS. “I love our students and I love teaching, and I always have. But I just think this is the next step for me, and I can still be involved with the students.” Capital Day School is an independent, non-denominational day school founded in 1955 that offers instruction for preschool through eighth grade. Adkins says the school will make several changes next year, including adding a choice of elective classes for middle schoolers. In the past, students attended music

or art class each week throughout the school year. Now they will pick from a list of specific drama, music art and fitness classes each quarter. “It’s kind of a bridge (to high school),” she said. “Now they get to start having some choices in their specific interests.” The school is also switching its world language offering – taught to students beginning in Kindergarten – from French to Spanish. The school’s former French teacher moved to a new city, and Adkins says the school polled parents before hiring a replacement. “We’ve heard a lot of questions over the years about why we don’t do Spanish,” she said. “We found out that most parents would prefer Spanish.” Middle schoolers will still continue taking French for now, although they can take Spanish as an elective class. The school will also place a greater emphasis on science, technology, engineering and math – STEM as educators commonly call the group of subjects. Teachers have attended conferences on the subject, and the school will promote the discipline in their classes. “It’s not a different way of teaching so much as an awareness of what we’re teaching and why we’re teaching it,” Adkins said. There’s still some work to do before school opens Aug. 17. Adkins is still filling several vacancies and enrolling new students. “It’s never a dull moment,” she said with a laugh after navigating around desks and books temporarily stored in the hallway for floor cleaning. Adkins says she expects last year’s

enrollment of 167 to stay steady this year, but enrollment is still open. She said CDS families generally have two working parents, contrary to the “rich kid” stereotype often attributed to private schools. “I just think we’re a wonderful school, and we make our community better by offering a choice of education in Frankfort,” she said. “There’s nothing wrong with the public school system – there are some wonderful schools, there are some wonderful teachers – but what we offer is a choice. “We want to talk to anyone who’s interested and show them what we have to offer.” Adkins holds dual bachelor’s degrees in biology and elementary education from Eastern Kentucky University. She is married to Tony Adkins, and the couple has a son, Anthony, who is a sophomore at Georgetown College studying business.

Frankfort High School – Michael Godbey New Frankfort High School Principal Michael Godbey says his focus is simple – students, students, students. “Everything needs to be studentdriven, from the master schedule to the policies we set to the day-to-day operations – everything,” he said. “Everything needs to be centered on what’s best for students.” Godbey, 42, took the helm at FHS July 1, just one month before the ﬁrst day of school. His biggest task so far has been re-

working the class schedule. Godbey says the school is moving from a seven-period school day to six periods next year because of stafﬁng cuts and departures. Since the school requires 24 credits to graduate, students will have to stay on track. “You have a set number of people, and those people only go so far with what you can offer,” he said. “Schools across the state and country are in a budget crisis, and I think statewide we’ve seen more staff cuts than ever before. When you cut staff, you have to limit what you can offer and you have to change the structure of the day.” Godbey is also ﬁlling vacant positions in math, science, art and Spanish. His challenges this year will be in implementing recent changes to the state’s education system at FHS, including new teaching standards, annual testing and end-of-course exams for high schoolers. He also wants to involve more stu-

dents in the school’s decision-making process. “We have a good staff, willing to work hard,” he said. “We’re going to work hard this year.” Godbey led Bate Middle School in Danville as principal from 2004 to 2010 and began his career as an elementary and middle school math teacher in 1996. He’s worked for the last year as director of curriculum and instruction for Danville Independent Schools, but says he’s eager to get back into the classroom. “Believe it or not, you miss the grind of a school if you’re out of it for a while,” he said, laughing. Godbey holds a bachelor’s degree in education from the University of Kentucky and a master’s in mathematics education and various administrative certiﬁcations from Eastern Kentucky University. He has two children, a junior at EKU and a sixth-grader. He and his wife, Claudia, live in Nicholasville.

LUNCH MONEY GOES DIGITAL Both school districts will introduce online lunch payment for students BY KATHERAN WASSON STATE JOURNAL STAFF WRITER

You can pay your utility or credit card bill from your computer – and now you can also settle your child’s lunch tab online. Both Frank lin County Public

Schools and Frankfort Independent Schools are introducing online lunch payment systems for families. Franklin County’s system went live at the end of April, and Frankfort Independent expects to offer the service by September.

Geraldine Jette, director of Food Services for FCPS, says her district opted for online payments after seeing other school systems try it. Parents had also requested the option, she said, though she doesn’t know how many have used it so far. “We hope it’s more convenient for people,” she said. “Times have changed, and we have to change along with it.” My SchoolBuck s.com operates Franklin County’s online meal-payment system. It allows parents to make payments 24/7, receive alerts when their child’s balance gets too low and view what they purchased in the cafeteria. The system accepts payments from Visa, Master Card, Discover or a bank debit card. Parents can set up automatic monthly payments and they can also add money to all their children’s accounts with one transaction. A service fee of $2 will apply each time a parent adds money to the account – Jette says that money goes to the bank, not the school district. FIS staffers will be trained on their new point-of-sale system shortly before the ﬁrst day of school Aug. 1, but Food Services Director April Peach says she wants to make sure it runs smoothly before allowing online payments. “I’m not going to open it up for anything until I have my hands on it

enough to know what’s going to happen,” she told Board of Education members this month. Peach says she expects the system could go online within the ﬁrst 30 days of school. She says the feature that allows parents to see what their children are buying in the lunch line should cut down on the phone calls she receives from parents wondering where their child’s lunch money went so quickly. “I’m hoping it will help with the charges, and I know it will help with parents who want to know how their children are using food services,” she said. “Do they spend their gas money on 10 pieces of pizza? The parents will know what their kids are doing.” Both school districts reported issues with overdue lunch bills last year. Franklin County parents owed more than $188,000 for their children’s lunches, a sum that had accumulated over 10 years. The school district hadn’t enforced its policy on charging lunch, Superintendent Harrie Buecker told The State Journal in February. Some students carried unpaid balances for years, she said. Frankfort Independent counted $30,000 in unpaid charges. About $9,700 remains outstanding as the new school year starts.

FX EASES FRESHMAN PRESSURE Freshman Experience prepares middle schoolers for high school life BY KATHERAN WASSON STATE JOURNAL STAFF WRITER

The move from middle school to high school comes with more homework assignments, a bigger maze of hallways and tougher tests. But it also means more freedom, and teenagers often struggle to balance the two. Franklin County High School teachers aim to alleviate the pressure through the Freshman Experience, a transition program for ninth-graders now in its third year and commonly known as FX. Students learn organizational skills, how to take notes in class and how to ask key questions so they understand their homework. Principal Sharon Collett says it’s a “hidden curriculum” that can help students succeed academically. “We don’t march them to the cafeteria or the restrooms (like in middle school), so it’s important for them to understand that freedom needs to be dealt with in a very responsible manner,” she said. “Teaching them to respect that freedom is really a strong transition that we have to make.” The school’s faculty has experimented with freshman transition programs for the last decade and Collett says they ﬁnally found the right one in FX. “We tried a couple of different versions and didn’t have the initial success we wanted,” she told The State Journal earlier this month. “We just totally redesigned it, and we have a group of teachers who are thoroughly engaged. They’ve bought into the whole concept, and it’s really, really working well.” Students are divided into two teams – blue and gold, based on the school’s colors. Team members stick together, traveling as a group to class and sharing the same freshmen teachers in core subjects such as English, math, social studies and science. Those teachers work closely together too. In addition to their regular planning period, they meet each day to solve problems, coordinate lessons and write exams. If a student is falling behind, they invite his or her parents to the planning session to discuss the next steps.

Freshman had the opportunity to ask questions and advice about coming into high school after the performance. Right, Alexa Ferrell, a senior at FCHS shows off a non-compliant outfit.

They can also tap into the school’s Family Resource and Youth Services Center if the problem is a lack of food or other material needs, Collett said. “It’s more of a family environment, and they share everything,” Collet said of the freshmen teachers. FCHS administrators say they’ve seen grades and behavior improve in freshmen since the program began. Assistant Principal Morgan Howell says ofﬁce referrals for freshmen have dropped from 2,587 in 2008-2009, the

year before FX began, to 433 last year. He believes the greater focus on transitioning to high school helps students understand the new rules and new expectations they face. But, there are no plans to extend the team model to the upper grades. Collett says teens must learn to be independent before they head to college or the work force. “We want to get them used to having different types of classes and different types of teachers,” she said, in-

cluding being in class with students of all ages. Looking forward to a new school year, Collett says she’d like to see greater involvement in extracurricular activities. “It’s not always easy to get a kid back to school or band or choral music or clubs, but that’s one of the things we hope kids will take a closer look at this year,” she said. “Kids need to be involved to be engaged, and we want them to be involved.”
