Principal Sheila Jepson of Bonny Eagle High School has invited parents of school children and other interested community residents to assist in a self-study being conducted by the school’s professional staff.
The self-study is a significant part of the evaluation process of the Commission on Public Secondary Schools for the accreditation of Bonny Eagle High School by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).
Jepson said all aspects of the school will be evaluated during the self-study.
Volunteers are urgently needed, however, to serve on the steering committee which will evaluate the reports of Mission and Expectations for Student Learning, Curriculum, Instructions, Assessment of Student Learning, Leadership and Organization, School Resources for Learning, and Community Resources for Learning. The steering committee meets every Tuesday from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in Room 109.
The New England Association of Schools and Colleges is a voluntary membership organization of approximately 1,850 public schools, colleges, independent schools, and vocation/technical and career institutions. Approximately 650 public schools throughout New England are currently accredited through the Association’s Commission on Public Secondary Schools.
The Commission works with individual schools to improve the quality of their programs at all levels through a process of self-study, evaluation and follow-up activities.
Anyone interested in volunteering time or in learning more about the self-study should contact Sue Orlowski, Ed Twilley, or Lyn Willison. They may be reached at 929-3840 or 642-9080 during school hours.
