2012 annUal rEPortIn Clayton, we always enjoy looking back on the accomplishments of our students and staff, the love of learning shared across our District and the positive relationships we have developed. However, our focus must always be directed towards the future and to our work of expanding and shaping the minds and hearts of our students. the theme in the School District of Clayton for the 2011-2012 school year was “We are Clayton.” In this District, we take pride in who we are and what we are helping our students to become. this theme encompasses all of the intricate parts of our District that come together to form the rich tapestry of the School District of Clayton.

the professionalism, expertise and passion our teaching staff exhibit in classrooms across the District creates a strong foundation for student learning. our staff cultivates an environment where academic excellence is the norm and students are held accountable for their actions. the Clayton community has come to know and expect individual success as we teach students to think critically, engage their curiosity and formulate and express their opinions. through their education in Clayton, our students feel empowered to be active players in the shaping of your community, their country and our world.

the statement “We are Clayton” goes beyond the knowledge, skills and expertise our students gain as they progress within our schools. these academic lessons also shape our students’ character and view of the world. learning to be compassionate, understanding and respectful of others’ views and opinions will help our students envision what the world should be and give them the courage and strength to act upon their beliefs to effect change.

our District’s continued success would not be possible without the intricate combination of a highly-qualified, dedicated staff of teachers and support personnel, exceptional facilities and a supportive community. As you read the pages of this report, we hope you enjoy learning about how the fusion of these elements led to impressive achievements during the 2011-2012 school year.

“We are Clayton” expresses our District’s pride in the work we are doing to prepare our students for lifelong learning and continued success. We are proud to maintain the longstanding Clayton tradition of setting the standard for a world-class education.

the School District of Clayton is committed to the strong academic achievement of its students. By evaluating student performance through a comprehensive assessment process that includes multiple-choice, constructed response and performance-based testing, the District measures student achievement in several different ways. together, these assessments supply the District with a more complete profile of student achievement than any one of them could provide alone.

In 2012, Clayton participated in the Missouri Assessment program (MAp). the scores provide a description of what students can do in terms of the content and skills assessed for each area. they are a means of comparing test results with standards of academic performance. the next pages review Clayton’s 2012 MAp results.

StUdEnt achiEvEmEntMissouri’s eleMentary and seCondary eduCation aCtthe 2011–2012 school year was a transitional year for all Missouri school districts as the state moved away from using the annual benchmarks, referred to as Adequate Yearly progress (AYp), established by the no Child left Behind Act. the u.S. Department of education approved Missouri’s elementary and Secondary education Act (eSeA) waiver in 2012, which allows the state to use its own accountability system to more effectively identify struggling schools, to efficiently direct resources to struggling schools and to recognize schools achieving exemplary results.

Missouri’s eSeA waiver will create a single statewide system of accountability for all schools that implements higher academic standards and focuses on continuous improvement at the school- and district-level. these Annual Measurable objectives (AMos) for english language arts and mathematics will be implemented in the 2012–2013 school year to align with the state’s ultimate goal of ensuring all students graduate college- and career-ready.

Additional information about the eSeA waiver and AMos is available on the District’s website at www.claytonschools.net/StateReport.
