Monday, April 8
Upper Macungie Supervisors asked Keystone Consulting Engineers traffic engineer Scott Stenroos to investigate how a problem concerning parked tractor trailers on Weilers Road near Jaindl Elementary School can be addressed. "It's dangerous to school buses and parents," said supervisor Sam Ashmar. "It's the same two trucks there. They're frequent fliers. If you allow one, they'll be a second, third and fourth. They're using Weilers Road as a parking lot." A similar problem is currently taking place on Mosser Road, supervisors said. Stenroos will examine the parking regulations at both locations to determine a solution.

Third-, fourth- and fifth-graders at Jaindl Elementary School get a lesson in presidential elections -- and even get to 'vote' too.
In the end, Obama beat Romney, 191 to 110. But in this recent "mock" election at Jaindl Elementary School, it wasn't the outcome that was important but the process, as third-, fourth- and fifth-graders at Jaindl Elementary School learned how America elects its presidents. The cool part? The students got to "vote" using two electronic voting machines, courtesy of the Lehigh County voter registration office. "It felt like we were like grownups," said fifth-grader Stephanie Roccoberton of Upper Macungie, who was among the students casting ballots. Outside the classroom, in the lunchroom and the like, students got passionate about their candidates, she said. In the classroom, the students learned the process of electing a president, the …

Parkland High School and Ironton Elementary did not meet Adequate Yearly Progress.
**Correction: This story has been revised. An earlier version stated incorrectly how many and which schools did not meet AYP. Final PSSA scores for the Parkland School District were released last week and there were no surprises - Parkland High School and Ironton Elementary did not meet Adequate Yearly Progress. In August, Patch reported that preliminary PSSA results showed both these schools were falling short of AYP goals and final results echo that data. This is the second year Parkland High fell short of AYP goals. Marge Evans, district coordinator of data assessment and federal programs, said results from most of the students at Parkland High met AYP but a small subset of students did not. Jaindl Elementary met AYP standards this …

Upper Macungie Township traffic engineer reports that a crosswalk by Jaindl Elementary should be eligible for a free PennDOT crossing sign.
Jaindl Elementary School students coming from Parkland View apartments should have a safer place to cross starting in the fall. Scott Stenroos, Upper Macungie Township’s traffic engineer, told township supervisors Thursday that the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation provides free portable crosswalk signs, called channeling devices, that the district’s crossing guard can set up and take down before and after school. The sign, which sits in the street, says “State Law Yield to Pedestrians within Crosswalk.” To be eligible for the signs, the district would have to paint the crosswalk on Cetronia, Stenroos said. The district already has a crossing guard helping students coming from Parkland View apartments cross at the intersection of …
