Extractions: A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n America Goes Back to School - August 1995 Here is a variety of ideas you can use to make your back-to-school effort effective and exciting. During planned events, such as mall exhibits or banquets, present awards to outstanding employers or civic, cultural, and religious groups, or members of the armed forces for their outstanding support of schools and families. Present an award to an outstanding education, art, science, technology, or environmental reporter at your local newspaper who highlighted family-school-community partnerships. Consider awarding a cash contribution or gift to the individual school or education program making the most progress. Sponsor a special banquet with a prominent speaker. Invite local employers, artists, community leaders, religious leaders, military base commanders, and others who should know about your efforts to build a community partnership for learning. Use the banquet as an opportunity to showcase successful partnerships. Purchase a postage slug saying Proud Supporter of America Goes Back to School for your office postage meter. Your correspondence will highlight your support. You can find out how to have a slug made at your local post office.

Community Involvement School Administrators Article S C H O O L A D M I N I S T R A T O R S A R T I C L E The America Goes Back to School initiative draws attention to the critical need for parents and communities to support their schools. Take a look at a few of the special AGBTS activities planned across the U.S. this fall! Last week (August 20), Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley called on communities across the country to celebrate a very special time of year the opening of schools for the fall term. "Children can be very observant," Riley said. "They notice what adults consider important and what they ignore. We must send a clear message that school is important, and we do that by investing our time and our attention." Now in its third year, America Goes Back to School is an initiative of the Partnership for Family Involvement in Education a coalition of more than 3,000 business, community, religious and education organizations. Riley said the initiative seeks to draw attention to the critical need for parents and communities to support their schools. "The most effective schools draw their strength from the parents and other adults that make up the neighborhoods where the children live. There is simply no substitute for the attention of adults when it comes to shaping the lives of children. This annual effort focuses on improving education across America and takes place during the months of August through October when students around the nation head back to the classrooms. America Goes Back to School is a special time for communities to reaffirm a commitment to education. I hope parents and business, cultural, civic, and religious leaders, as well as elected officials, will seize this opportunity to go back to school."

Administrators in districts receiving the awards tell Education World they are hopeful that exposing their teachers to primary materials and to history scholars will make them more confident and excited about teaching American history.

Extractions: E-mail this story to a friend... Saturday, August 14, 1999 By STEVE INFANTI, Scripps Howard News Service Parents shouldn't count on guidance counselors or teachers to go through the college search process with their children. That's the advice of Margaret Sebastianelli, director of the Student Services Center at Penn State University's College of Health and Human Development. "I encourage parents to get involved in guiding the process, but to allow your children to make their own choices. Parents can begin the process by discussing the idea of going to college with their children and helping them set realistic goals," says Sebastianelli. Parents can help students with the whole college process by sitting down with their children to prepare a checklist or timetable, and map a strategy for the college search. Parents may be especially helpful at generating a list of colleges to visit and discussing financial issues. Often these visits are made in the junior year and are typically completed by the fall of senior year. Sebastianelli advises students to start their college searches during summer vacation of sophomore year. Visit no more than one school per day.

Extractions: Today a student, tomorrow a leader by Carrie Severson WHEN WAS THE last time you went to class? Do you remember college at all? If so, then you should remember all the free stuff people were trying to hand you as you walked down the main drag of the university. College goodie bags were full of sample packs big corporations hoped you would try or be intrigued by. Then of course, there were those annoying credit card employees luring college students to them with huge bags of Starbursts and free T-shirts. Well, not much has changed. According to the National Association of College Stores, the most recent figures show there are 4,096 institutions of higher learning in the United States. Out of that number, 42 percent are public institutions while 58 percent are private colleges or universities. Think of all your potential sales. J.D. Beatty, chief of staff to the president of the University of Colorado, says he sees promotional products not only in the systems' office but throughout all four campuses that belong to CU. He says that, like any corporation, colleges are very interested in identifying their members, either with backpacks or paperweights. Each individual campus connected with CU runs orientation programs where T-shirts, pens, lanyards and more are all given out to students and parents.

Extractions: By Dimitrina Korcheva As with immigrants, foreign students contribute to America's diversity. Every year, approximately half a million young men and women from all over the world come to study in America's institutes of higher education. The over 3,500 colleges and universities in the United States offer different subjects ranging from liberal and fine arts to computer science and engineering. There are various types of schools in the United States. A university is different from a college in that while a college is only for undergraduate education, a university usually comprises a college, a graduate school and maybe even a professional school. A university is also more involved in research. In America colleges and universities are publicly funded or private. "State universities" (or "public") are generally state or city-owned. They are relatively inexpensive, especially if you are a resident of the city in which they are located. Private schools, on the other hand, are quite expensive. They are also very selective as to students as well as faculty. Prestigious private universities are Harvard, Princeton, Yale. If you are an extremely good student, you may be able to compete for a scholarship to one of these universities.

This system allows you to set up your account and then access it from any work station that can access the web. Thus, even if you don't have a a computer at home or an e-mail account via some local carrier like AOL or Compuserve, you can set up this e-mail account just by visiting your local library and using its work station that typically is connected to the Web or perhaps you have access to a similar setup at your place of work. It is quite user friendly and once you get to the site it walks you through the signup procedure. You can have your account established and operating within minutes and then can participate in the course through e-mail and can communicate with others through e-mail.

You can access your regular e-mail through a POP connection.
