Vernon's Maple Street School is celebrating the creation of The Community School. What a community school does is in the video, along with appearances by Maple Street's principal, our Superintendent and the Mayor.

Michael, thank you very much for posting this. Ive been hoping to see the Patch post an article about the event. I've been checking all weekend, so it was excellent to see your video this morning. Thank you for your attendance to the kickoff, your vocal support at the town council, and for posting this to spread the word about the Community School.

I have discovered from researching the new “rigorous” National Common Core Standards.…Read More
First of all, I learned that in order for our state to receive available Federal stimulus money, state Governors and Chief State School Officers around the country were required to sign a Memo of Understanding by January 2010 promising to adopt a national common standard.
I also learned that local district Superintendents and School Board Presidents were encouraged by the state to sign a similar Memo of Understanding by May 28, 2010 if they wanted their district to receive any of the money.

I have to agree with J.L. Why in the world wouldn't you talk directly to the teacher if this was an…Read More issue? It is really easy to throw a screen name into the mix and complain for all of Vernon to see here on the Patch. It's time to stop perpetuating the negativity. The town council, BoE, and Dr. Conway are just starting to make some headway with education progress in Vernon, this isn't helping. Try to remember that our kids teachers are our neighbors here in Vernon and to attack them anonymously here...NOT COOL!

Right on Nancy! Negativity begets negativity and that is exactly what we don't need now. The…Read More taxpayers of this town stepped up and allowed the BOE to prevail on referendum day. Time for parents to take a breather over the summer and let the BOE and Supt. do their work on plans to improve. Some people get so caught up in a fight that they can't drop it. Credit the Patch for many recent articles about the good things that kids are doing. Hope they keep it up. That's what we need to right now, especially when we have just been given new hope for the center of Rockville. Let's stop airing our "dirty laundry" to the rest of CT. It's a new day!

Congratulations Drew to you and your wife too. Hard work pays off and it shows. You have made a…Read More "Joyful" noise and our region is the better for it-. All the Best.

Very interested in this dining set. What is the asking price and when can I take a look?
