Fourth-grade fundraiser
Students raise money for
non-profit foundation. PAGE 3
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun
With the partial unveiling of a new state
standardized test in Medford Public Schools
coming in the next few weeks, the school dis-
trict is preparing to make sure things go as
smoothly as possible.
Classes at Medford Memorial Middle
School and Chairville Elementary School
will partake in a field test of the PARCC as-
sessment. All schools in New Jersey are
switching to the new assessment in the 2014-
15 school year. To prepare, Medford Memori-
al and Chairville were designated by the De-
partment of Education to take the field test.
According to Director of Curriculum
Thomas Olson, a lot of time and resources
have been poured into the field test as well
as the full test next year. Major changes have
been made to the districts curriculum and
technology.
Weve had to adjust our programming
and instruction to Common Core State Stan-
dards, Olson said. The Common Core are
significantly different to the prior stan-
dards.
Like many districts in the state, Medford
has had to invest in new curriculum, espe-
cially in the areas of language arts and
mathematics, to adhere to Common Core.
Beyond the cost of the new curriculum,
Olson said it has taken time to research new
New standardized
testing coming
to area schools
MIKE MONOSTRA/The Sun
Medford Memorial Middle School will be one of two schools
in the township to participate in PARCC assessment field
testing in March. The district has prepared for the new test
through changes in its curriculum and technology.

The Sun
On Valentines Day, a
Chairville Elementary School
fourth-grade class worked togeth-
er to touch the hearts of others
outside their own community.
Dana Carmody-Burns fourth-
grade class held an exer-thon on
Feb. 14 to raise money for a non-
profit called Davids Dream and
Believe Cancer Foundation. The
foundation raises money for New
Jersey families affected by a loved
one with cancer. The project was
part of a school-wide event to in-
volve the students in service proj-
ects on Valentines Day.
Carmody-Burns has an exist-
ing relationship with the founda-
tions founder, David Caldarella.
The two had worked a summer
job together at a restaurant in
Manahawkin. Shortly before the
fundraiser, Caldarella received a
call from Carmody-Burns about
getting him involved.
When she started thinking
about the service project, she
thought about the foundation I
Special to The Sun
Dana Carmody-Burns fourth-grade class at Chairville Elementary
School welcomed Davids Dream and Believe Cancer Foundation
founder David Caldarella to its Feb. 14 exer-thon fundraiser. The
class donated $2,010 to the foundation.

programs and choose the ones
best fit for the district. The dis-
trict also needed to provide train-
ing for teachers with the new cur-
riculum.
Upgrading the districts tech-
nology has been the other chal-
lenge Medford has faced. Olson
said the district has made im-
provements over time in prepara-
tion for PARCC.
Technology is ready to go, he
said. Weve had to plan over the
last few years to make sure we
had an adequate infrastructure.
The PARCC test is taken entire-
ly on the computer. The district
has needed to make upgrades so
each student has a computer ca-
pable of performing the tests. Up-
grades to the schools Internet
were also needed.
The school district will be able
to evaluate its readiness for
PARCC through an online tool.
Its showing districts whether
they are ready for the field test
and the PARCC test, Olson said.
The field test has its positives
and negatives. Olson said it will
be a good evaluator for the school
districts readiness going into
next year.
However, the field test also cuts
into school time for the classes
taking it. Students performing
the field test are also taking the
regularly scheduled NJASK as-
sessment.
However, Olson feels the field
test will help put the district on
the right path heading into next
year.
All school districts want to try
and make programs successful,
Olson said. You want it to be suc-
cessful and done well because you
want your students to be success-
ful.
In other news:
Further amendments have
been made to the school calendar.
March 18 and June 20 are now full
school days for all students. June
23 and 24 will be early dismissal
days. The changes were made to
accommodate a fifth snow day
from Feb. 13.
