Goals we have accomplished (from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006) as reported on our October 2005 DOE Technology reporting
 

The goals we have accomplished in the 2005-2006 school year are as follows.  The implementation of Connect Ed as a community resource for contacting parents and staff has been completed.  The system is being utilized for daily attendance messages, community outreach and emergency notifications.  We connected the following school buildings to the fiber Wide Areas Network during the 2005/2006 School year: Chicopee Academy, Barry School and Streiber School. Delayed because of permissions to run the fiber under the Mass Turnpike will leave only Barry and Litwin to be completed.  We installed a new Microsoft exchange mail server for our (chicopee.mec.edu) email accounts.  Along with that a Watchguard email filtering system was also installed.  We continue to participate with the Mass DOE Galileo assessment tool utilized in the Middle Schools.  We continued to support in our schools SRI (Scholastic Reading Inventory), Scholastic Read 180, Scholastic Red and Reading First. NCLB funding made possible the utilizing of Palms with remedial Math software (Math Amigo) at both Middle Schools.  We continue promoting and updating of our school web pages as resources for parents and students.  The installation of Smart Boards with LCD/DLP projectors to support the instructional process in the teaching of ELA and Math in the Middle School.  Plans continue for the building construction for Comprehensive High School and the Telecom Dept at the new building location. Continued professional development for teachers in mandated areas along with identified areas identified by the District needs assessment surveys.  Continue to devote District resources towards a 3:1 District computer ratio.
