2010-11 NHS SCHOOL GRADE ANNOUNCED
Naples High School earned a B for the 2010.11 school year. The points necessary for an A are “at least 1050.” Naples High School earned 1233 points. Unfortunately, we failed to make large enough gains in reading among the lowest 25% of our students taking the FCAT which automatically drops the grade. We will continue to work reading for all of our students as we press on to benefit students as well as receive the grade our points suggest we earn.
While it is in some ways a little “anticlimactic” to receive last year’s grade when we are approaching the half-way mark of this school year, we can find affirmation that our efforts last year produced positive results and the suggestion that last year’s strategies in addition to some added this year are moving us in a forward direction. (Note the increases across the board in the summary at the top of the attached page. With the exception of accelerated performance, we show increased percentages in all areas. This makes some sense as we increased our participation in accelerated courses which often results in an initial dip in performance.)
Please take some time to review the information attached (CLICK HERE). In addition to the specifics re: Naples High School’s grade, there is a review of the formula regarding the 800 points based on the “non-FCAT” performance measures as well as the School Accountability Report noting which student subgroups at Naples High School need improvement in reading and math.
Parental and community support are a part of this grade, and Naples High School is grateful for both. If you have questions regarding this information, you may contact Dr. Nancy Graham, Principal, at 239-377-2203 or Grahamna@collierschools.com

STUDENT DRESS CODE UPDATE
NHS VOLUNTEERS
We have been advised by the Collier County School System about some "updating" that needs to be done for all volunteers. In an effort to abide by the Jessica Lunsford Act, we are required to Fast Pass every active volunteer each school year.
NHS will need to update your Fast Pass or create one for you if you don't currently have one. Many of you filled out your paperwork and provided your driver's license years ago at lower level schools, but in order to comply we must now update each and every school year. Please see Susan Zenz in our front office at your earliest convenience to get this taken care of. You will need to have your driver's license with you! We are sorry for the inconvenience, but it is for the safety of all! If you have any questions please contact Susan Zenz at NHS main number 377-2200.
If you are a member of another group within Naples High please help us spread the word. This policy applies to ALL school volunteers. For a copy of the Volunteer Log Sheet, please click HERE.
