Description
An informative video for rising 9th graders about Burlington High School.
A
A
A
All
right
good
evening,
everyone
for
those
of
you
that
don't
have
haven't
met
me.
Yet
my
name
is
lauren
mcbride.
I
am
the
principal
here
at
bhs,
I'm
going
to
be
talking
in
a
little
bit,
but
I
want
to
be
the
first
to
welcome
you
to
our
eighth
grade
information
night,
one
of
the
first
times
that
you
have
been
able
to
meet
with
us
and
our
faculty
and
staff
as
you
and
your
eighth
grader
prepares
for
what
comes
next
after
middle
school
and
entering
into
high
school.
We're
really
excited
to
have
you
here.
A
A
As
we
start
to
move
through
this
evening,
we
will
be
turning
off
our
cameras
as
different
faculty
are
speaking
to
be
able
to
have
you
focus
on
the
content
and
not
on
us.
You
know
sitting
here
and
smiling
at
you
from
the
comfort
of
our
home
and
and
school
buildings.
So
just
know
that
a
couple
of
those
things
will
be
happening
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
our
assistant
principal
of
student,
supports
kate
paxton
to
get
us
started.
B
B
Thank
you
and
we
have
a
an
administration
this
year.
That
is
really
focused
on
working
with
our
staff
and
our
community
to
create
equitable
outcomes
for
students,
and
so
what
you're
going
to
hear
tonight
are
from
our
amazing
teachers
and
administrators
and
other
staff
that
we
have
at
bhs
about
all
the
ways
that
we
that
we
do
that
lise.
If
you
could
jump
back
again,
please
to
slide
two.
B
B
B
So
I
wanted
to
start
with
introductions.
You've
already
met
our
amazing
principal
lauren,
mcbride,
melanie
alexander,
if
you
could
give
a
wave
she's
one
of
our
assistant
principals
francesca
dupuis
is
our
other
assistant
principal
lavar.
Mourinho
is
our
ninth
grade
dean
of
students
lavar?
Could
you
just
give
a
wave
cool
cool
graphic
on
there
levar
lee
bruder
is
one
of
our
four
school
counselors
and
she's
going
to
be
telling
you
about
our
school
counseling
department
a
little
bit
later
tonight
lise.
A
A
You
can
see
from
one
of
the
graphics
here
that
aesthetically,
a
lot
of
things
are
shifting.
We
have
students
that
have
been
engaged
in
helping
to
paint
murals
on
our
walls,
and
we
really
are
embracing
our
space
and
coming
together,
like
as
a
family
here
in
our
in
our
temporary
but
long-term
home.
Some
of
the
things
I
just
wanted
to
also
put
on
our
radar
as
we
launched
this
evening,
there's
a
lot
of
work.
A
That's
happening
behind
the
scenes
right
now,
as
we
are
in
february,
even
though
we
still
have
you
know
the
remainder
of
this
year
that
we're
really
focused
on
we're
actually
doing
a
lot
of
planning
right
now
for
next
year.
For
the
start
of
for
a
really
strong
start
for
2022
and
2023.,
we've
had,
as
many
of
you
have
probably
heard
in
the
district-
an
equitable
budgeting
initiative
that
was
launched
this
year
and
for
us
as
we
look
ahead
and
plan.
This
is
this:
is
it
really?
A
So
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that,
as
we
continue
to
settle
into
bhs,
we
do
have
a
lot
of
support
from
our
district.
Currently,
within
this
fiscal
budget,
there
has
been
an
additional
half
a
million
dollars.
That's
been
a
that
has
been
approved
for
capital
improvements
to
happen
to
our
building,
and
those
will
happen
over
the
summer.
A
So
looking
at
we're
looking
at
a
number
of
different
additions
to
be
added,
and
that
also,
I
think,
presents
a
lot
of
opportunity
and
excitement
for
us
as
we
continue
to
settle
in
lisa.
If
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide
and
those
were
just
two
really
like
quick
teasers
on
thursday.
This
week
we
are
having
a
bhs
town
hall
meeting
to
be
able
to
dig
into
more
of
the
work
that's
happening
behind
the
scenes
as
soon
to
be
bhs
families.
A
We
welcome
you
to
join
us
at
that
town
hall
meeting.
We
are
we'll
share
this
link
with
your
with
the
8th
grade
administration
to
be
able
to
send
out
to
you
all
so.
Please
feel
free
to
join
us
to
learn
more
about
our
exciting
projects
as
we
go,
and
at
least
you
can
head
to
the
next
slide
and
one
more
and
with
that,
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
turn
it
back
over
to
kate.
A
B
And
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
we
feel
that
very
much
and
in
all
that
we
do.
We
are
carrying
that
honor
and
responsibility
in
our
hearts.
Knowing
that
you
are,
you
are
giving
us
your
children
and
and
asking
us
to
do
this,
this
great
and
incredibly
important
job.
As
part
of
your
team,
so
tonight
you're
going
to
hear
a
little
bit
about
some
of
those
supports
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
some
of
our
amazing
leadership
team
at
burlington,
high
school
and
melanie.
C
Thank
you,
kate,
good
evening,
everyone
kate,
I
actually
was
like
my
heart,
was
in
my
hands
when
I
was
listening
to
you
talk
about
the
first
day
of
school,
because
I
remember
my
own
first
day
of
high
school.
I
actually
remember
what
I
wore,
which
was
in
the
80s,
so
I
will
not
tell
you
much
more
than
that,
but
I
have
the
pleasure
of
being
one
of
our
assistant
principals
and
I
supervise
folks
in
the
student
support
center.
C
C
C
This
is
what
we
are
here
for
our
mission
is
to
build
relationships
with
every
student,
so
when
any
student
has
some
kind
of
situation,
that's
maybe
you
know
preventing
them
from
going
to
class
or
thriving
as
much
as
they
can.
They
come
to
the
student
support
center
and
we
offer
any
kind
of
support
you
could
imagine.
We
will
walk
your
student
to
class.
We
will
facilitate
a
mediation
with
a
teacher.
We
will
facilitate
meetings
between
students,
all
this,
to
make
sure
that
the
kids
feel
safe
in
school
and
feel
centered.
C
C
We
of
course
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
close
contact
with
families,
so
our
doors,
the
metaphorical
door,
is
always
open.
Email
is
always
an
option
to
make
sure
that
if
you
have
any
concerns,
you
can
contact
anybody
in
the
student
support
center
that
we
have
relationships
with
and
we'll
figure
out
what
to
do
together
as
a
team.
D
Thank
you
melanie
and
good
evening.
Everyone.
My
name,
is
francesca
dupuis.
She
her
hers.
This
is
my
first
official
year
as
an
assistant
principal
at
burlington
high
school,
but
this
is
my
11th
year
overall
in
the
district.
Prior
to
this
role,
I
was
a
classroom
teacher
in
the
history
and
socialized
department
at
the
high
school,
so
I'm
very
familiar
with
many
of
the
inner
workings
of
the
high
school,
as
well
as
the
advisory
program
and
advisory.
D
We've
had
this
program
for
eight
or
nine
years
now
at
the
high
school
and
similarly
to
the
mission
of
the
student
support
center,
as
well
as
the
mission
of
what
faculty
and
staff
strive
to
do
every
day
with
our
student
body
is
to
establish
another
relationship
with,
hopefully
another
trusted
adult
within
the
building.
So
all
of
our
students
are
assigned
an
advisor,
and
this
advisor
is
separate
from
their
school
counselor.
It's
a
faculty
or
staff
member,
not
just
a
teacher.
It
could
be
somebody
from
the
student
support
center.
D
It
could
be
an
assistant
principal,
it
could
be
one
of
our
school
social
workers.
So
it's
not
just
teachers
who
serve
in
this
advisory
role
and
the
beginning
of
the
year
is
always
dedicated
to
building
community
and
social
emotional
learning,
which
both
are
essential
to
all
classrooms
and
cultures,
and
the
community
as
a
whole
and
advisory
is
also
a
place
where
students
learn
information
about
opportunities
at
the
high
school.
Sometimes
that
could
include
community
service.
E
E
I'm
stepping
out
of
my
role
as
the
former
student
support
coordinator,
where
I
had
a
chance
to
have
all
the
boots
on
the
ground
meet
kids,
where
they're
at
I've
been
putting
out
a
lot
of
fires.
Now,
with
this
new
dean
role,
it
allows
me
to
actually
find
the
root
cause
of
why
you
know.
Why
is
your
child
struggling
at
school?
What
is
limiting
him?
E
E
Hopefully
they
will
come
to
me
for
some
guidance
for
some
friendly
reminders
how
to
get
back
on
task
how
to
re-engage,
but
also
to
find
that
spark.
You
guys
are
the
champion
of
your
job.
I
look
forward
to
all
the
parents
to
connect
them
to.
Let
me
know
what
works
for
you.
What
are
some
of
the
things
that
may
work
that
I
can
apply
here
at
the
school
setting
that
may
allow
your
child
to
feel
safe,
comfortable
and
willing
to
engage
in
school.
E
I
love
the
work
that
I
do.
I'm
super
excited
to
be
here,
I'm
actually
looking
forward
to
the
springtime
to
make
visits
at
both
our
middle
schools.
So
I
look
forward
to
seeing
some
of
these
families
at
their
site
meeting
you,
where
you're
at
to
reintroduce
myself,
but
to
really
get
to
know
your
child.
You
know
so
that
way
they
are
ready
for
a
high
school,
great
experience
and
a
great
location
with
great
people
that
has
the
best
interest
for
them
moving
forward.
E
F
G
B
H
I
H
As
q,
I
oversee
athletics
for
the
entire
burlington
school
district,
so
currently
high
school
and
middle
school.
I'm
hoping
to
have
some
elementary
school
programming
in
the
future,
but
I
am
based
at
burlington
high
school.
That's
where
my
office
is
and
where
I
spend
the
majority
of
my
time
with
our
great
and
wonderful
bhs
leadership
team,
and
I
will
pass
it
back
to
kate
as
we
currently
have
basketball
going
on.
As
we
speak.
B
Thank
you
so
much
q
straight
from
the
straight
from
the
courts,
so
I
wanted
to
show
you
a
list
of
some
of
the
folks
in
the
school
counseling
department,
because
these
are
names
that
you
will
probably
see
again
and
may
encounter
over
the
spring,
and
over
the
summer
we
have
four
wonderful
school
counselors
lisa
is
with
us
tonight.
We
also
have
karen
prouty
jen,
richter
and
tony
settle
whom
you
will
meet
later
in
the
spring,
our
504
coordinator,
who
is
new
this
year.
It's
a
new
position.
This
year
is
jean
sanchez.
B
So
if
you
have
a
child
who
is
on
a
504
plan,
you
can
expect
to
see
some
transitions
there.
That
gene
will
support
our
registrar's,
kate
stein.
Our
counseling
administrative
assistant
is
lauren
marshall.
You
probably
have
already
received
some
communications
from
her.
Our
data
manager
is
andrew
guertin.
He
does
all
the
sort
of
behind
the
scenes.
Power
school
work
that
happens
and
you've
met
our
administrative
team,
and
I
am
the
assistant
principal
who
directly
supports
the
counseling
department.
B
F
Thanks
kate,
so
kate
had
asked
me
to
speak
a
little
bit
to
the
role
of
our
school
counseling
team
as
it
pertains
to
high
school
students.
So
I'm
just
gonna
cite
a
little
a
little
information
from
the
schoolcounselor.org
website
and
describe
the
role
of
the
high
school
counselor,
which
may
be
a
little
bit
different
than
what
you're
used
to
with
elementary
and
middle
school
counselors.
F
So
school
counselors
at
the
high
school
level,
work
to
maximize
student
success,
promoting
access
and
equity
for
all
students
as
vital
members
of
the
school
leadership
team
school
counselors
create
a
school
culture
of
success.
For
all.
We
help
all
students
apply
academic
achievement
strategies,
manage
emotion,
managing
motions
and
apply
interpersonal
skills
and
plan
for
post-secondary
options.
F
Some
of
those
classes
will
be
prescribed
based
on
some
core
requirements
that
we
have
for
graduation
and
some
will
be
electives
and
chosen
courses
that
they're
interested
in
so
here's
a
little
sort
of
a
little
timeline
as
to
how
things
will
be
working
over
in
the
coming
weeks.
So
january,
31st
through
february
11th,
the
middle
school
teachers
will
be
making
some
recommendations
for
your
students
for
their
core
classes.
For
next
year.
F
On
wednesday
february,
9th
students
will
have
presentations
which
presentations,
which
we
usually
go
in
and
do
in
person,
but
because
of
covert
we're
not
doing
that
this
year.
So
they'll
get
to
view
the
presentation
that
we
have
prepared
for
them
with
regards
to
making
those
course
requests
and
entering
into
high
school
level
programming.
F
F
Hopefully
they
will
bring
these
worksheet
sheets
home
with
them
and
maybe
be
able
to
go
over
some
of
the
programming
and
classes
of
interest
to
them
with
any
of
their
parents
or
guardians,
and
then
another
resource
that
students
will
use
is
our
program
of
studies.
The
bhs
program
of
studies
is
always
available
on
our
website
under
the
school
counseling
page.
F
F
We
begin
to
build
a
master
schedule
for
all
of
the
course
offerings
that
will
happen
at
bhs
over
the
course
of
the
next
year.
The
student
requests
are
loaded
into
the
system.
We
will
run
several
iterations
where
the
computer
tries
to
give
students
as
many
of
their
requests
as
possible,
and
it
builds
a
schedule
that
balances
out,
hopefully
their
blue
and
white
day
schedules.
F
F
So
we
put
this
as
a
sample
schedule
into
the
presentation
so
that
we
could
give
you
an
idea
of
what
a
blue
and
white
day
schedule
looks
like.
So,
on
the
left
hand
side
you
can
see
there's
white
day,
there's
blue
day,
there's
semester,
one
and
semester
two.
So
you
can
see
this
student
would
go
to
art
for
block
one
english
for
block
two
social
studies
for
block
three
in
the
middle
of
that
class.
They
would
be
going
to
a
lunch
break.
F
They
would
finish
off
the
social
studies
class
move
on
to
advisory
and
then
for
one
semester.
They
would
have
health
class
and
for
the
next
semester
they
would
have
a
study
hall
class
and
then
on
blue
days.
This
student
would
have
their
world
language
class,
their
science
class,
their
math
class,
their
lunch
break
advisory
and
for
first
semester,
a
study
hall
and
second
semester
ape
class.
K
My
children
go
there
as
well,
so
I
know
from
what
I
speak,
so
I
teach
english
and
could
you
switch
the
slides
lisa
great
so
in
the
english
department
freshman
year,
there
are
three
themes:
who
am
I?
What
is
my
community?
How
I?
How
do
I
fit
into
this
world?
There's
themes
each
year?
The
next
year
will
be.
What
is
my
moral
code
and
junior
year
is
what
is
my
impact
on
others?
K
That
does
not
mean
everything
we
do
centers
around
those
themes,
but
we
do
try
and
bring
a
significant
amount
of
time
to
them.
So
students
leave
having
a
sincere
reflection
and
personal
development
next
slide
great
freshman
year,
students
get
a
mishmash
of
genres,
they'll
get
some
classic
texts
like
romeo
and
juliet
by
shakespeare,
which
is
taught
typically
through
performance.
K
Knight
is
the
non-fiction
book
it's
a
book.
We
believe
that
every
citizen
in
the
world
should
read
it's
a
first
person,
testimony
of
the
holocaust
written
by
elie,
weissel
nobel
prize
winner,
then
there's
a
series
of
contemporary
literature.
Some
examples
would
be
long
way
down
by
jason,
reynolds
or
the
house
on
mango
street
by
sandra
cisneros.
K
Those
core
skills,
as
always
in
language
arts,
are
close
reading.
We
do
teach
kids,
annotation
and
note
taking
to
help
them.
Have
a
dialogue
with
the
text.
Writing
in
freshman
year
is
summary
writing
and
then
the
evidence-based
paragraph,
which
then
leads
to
the
evidence-based
essay
and
then
dialogue.
For
us
dialogue
is
not
debate.
It
is
a
style
of
conversation
that
allows
students
to
connect
and
build
some
shared
meaning
and
to
sort
of
foster
an
exchange
of
ideas
and
a
real,
deep
understanding
of
each
other
and
whatever
their
content
is
instead
of
winning
an
argument.
K
L
Thank
you,
beth
hi
folks,
I'm
bowen
stevens.
I
am
a
ninth
grade
teacher
in
the
social
studies
department
and
I
will
be
representing
that
half
of
the
humanities
program,
which
is
a
unique
program
that
bhs
has
that
uni
links
our
english
and
our
social
studies
classes.
In
the
ninth
grade.
The
social
studies
side
will
be
covering
civics
and
world
societies
in
that
ninth
grade
year.
It
primarily
focuses
on
the
american
government
and
their
roles
within
it
as
citizens,
and
the
second
part
looks
a
lot
more
at
comparative
policies.
L
Great.
The
skill
sets
that
we'll
work
on
in
social
studies
in
ninth
grade
will
be
the
same
skill
sets
that
they
work
on
in
english.
So
this
really
is
reinforcing
those
main
skill
sets
the
ability
to
annotate,
take
notes
on
a
text,
summary
evidence-based,
writing
and
then
being
able
to
make
an
argument
and
to
be
able
to
listen
to
somebody
else
and
understand
what
that
argument
is.
M
Thank
you,
ms
stevens.
Welcome
everyone
hi,
my
name
is
norm
trombley.
I
am
the
lead
teacher
in
the
math
department.
This
is
my
26th
year
here
at
burlington,
high
school
and
very
happy
to
be
here
tonight.
What
I
want
to
do
this
evening
is
show
you
what
the
ninth
grade
options
are
for
mathematics
courses,
what
your
student
will
likely
be
starting
with
next
year
and
then
show
you
some
likely
sequences
of
classes
over
the
four
years
that
your
student
can
take.
M
M
Some
of
you
may
notice
two
new
courses
here,
they're
called
integrated
math
one
and
integrated
math,
one
with
lab
all
nine.
All
parents
of
ninth
grade
students
for
next
year
should
have
received
a
letter,
and
in
that
letter
it
explained
the
new
courses
and
explained
the
course
offerings
for
next
year.
Just
to
briefly
go
over
that
again.
Integrated
math
is
algebra
and
geometry
together.
M
What
we're
doing
is
we're
trying
to
enable
all
students
to
have
a
more
successful
two
years
of
algebra
geometry
so
that
when
they
get
to
algebra
2,
they
have
a
better
standing
and
they
have
a
better
base
of
skills.
So
integrated
math
is
still
all
of
the
algebra
and
geometry
skills
that
students
will
need.
It's
just
that.
We
have
now
reorganized
the
topics
and
blended
them
together
into
two
courses
that
will
better
serve
the
students
for
the
future
and
help
them
to
be
more
successful
in
algebra
two
down
the
road.
M
M
There
are
three
usual
pathways
that
students
take
during
their
years
at
burlington:
high
school,
here's
one
of
them.
If
your
student
were
to
start
in
pre-algebra,
then
the
most
likely
next
steps
would
be
integrated,
math,
1,
10th
grade
then
integrated
math
to
11th
grade,
because
the
two
courses
are
algebra
and
geometry
together.
M
A
second
possible
pathway
is
if
your
student
were
to
start
already
an
integrated
math
one.
Then
they
would
take
the
math
one
and
math
two
courses,
their
first
two
years,
go
to
algebra
two
as
a
junior
and
then
have
several
options
for
twelfth
grade
going
into.
Pre-Calculus
is
the
usual
course,
but
there's
many
other
options
like
ap
statistics,
math
of
money,
which
is
another
financial
literacy
course,
which
is
a
little
more
high
level
and
require
requires
from
algebra
2
and
then
also
we're
offering
a
college
algebra
course
which
we're
looking
to
offer.
M
Some
ccv
credit
for
12th
graders,
who
want
to
take
an
algebra
course
which
will
enable
them
to
then
get
the
three
credits.
Those
would
be
three.
Those
would
be
three
ccv
credits,
not
three
bhs
credits
by
the
way,
just
one
vhs
credit
for
that,
and
then
the
third
pathway
is
if
your
student
were
to
start
with
freshman
geometry.
N
Thanks
norm,
hi
everyone,
my
name
is
marion
boa.
I
am
teaching
earth
system
science
at
vhs.
I
wanted
to
start
by
running
through
the
science
classes.
We
offer
talk
a
bit
about
what
students
will
take
in
ninth
grade
and
then
walk
through
some
possible
pathways.
Students
could
take
in
science
over
their
four
years
at
bhs,
so
at
bhs
students
begin
with
earth
system
science,
which
has
an
earned
honors
component
within
the
class.
It's
embedded
in
earth
science.
N
They
can
then
take
the
next
core
class,
which
is
biology
or
honors
biology
and
then
to
round
out
their
three
required
science
classes.
They
could
choose
to
take
chemistry
or
physics.
Along
with
those
core
science
classes.
We
offer
many
absolutely
fabulous
electives,
so
students
can
choose
from
a
range
of
other
options
depending
on
their
plans
after
graduation
and
also
their
interests.
N
Next
slide,
please.
So,
as
ninth
graders
students
will
take
earth
system
science,
which
is
a
class
that
is
very
place
based.
Our
focus
is
on
the
lake
champlain
basin
works.
We
are
exploring
the
essential
questions
of
what
was
it
like
in
the
past.
What
what
is
it
like
right
now
and
what
will
it
be
like
in
the
future,
so
we
are
doing
our
best
to
get
students
out
of
the
classroom
and
exploring
the
ecosystems
and
beautiful
places
that
are
surrounding
us
around
burlington
and
the
champlain
basin.
N
Next
slide,
please
thanks.
So,
along
with
earth
system
science
in
ninth
grade,
students
should
also
be
thinking
about
what
is
going
to
come
next
in
their
in
their
science
plans
for
the
future.
So
for
many
students
that
could
be
earth
system
science
as
a
9th
grade
student
and
biology,
is
a
10th
grade
student
and
maybe
they're
taking
physics
as
an
11th
grade
student.
N
Like
that's
shown
in
path,
1.,
students
could
also
be
moving
from
9th
grade
or
system
science
into
classes
like
physics
and
biology
as
a
10th
grader,
and
then
maybe
exploring
chemistry
and
some
electives
in
11th
and
12th
grade,
or
if
students
are
thinking
that
their
plans
are,
are
really
leading
them
into
a
college
program
or
a
career
in
science.
I
recommend
that
they
double
up
and
take
earth
system,
science
and
biology
in
their
ninth
grade
year.
O
Hi,
I'm
carrie
beckloff,
I'm
the
lead
teacher
of
the
special
education
department
here
at
burlington
high
school.
This
is
my
19th
year
at
the
high
school
and
I'm
very
glad
to
be
with
you
this
evening.
One
of
the
biggest
things
I
think
in
terms
of
families
that
have
students
that
receive
services
through
ieps
and
504
plans
is
how
does
the
transition
to
the
high
school
actually
occur.
O
So
I'm
going
to
review
some
of
the
points
of
that
tonight.
Just
so,
you
have
some
information
moving
forward
as
you
work
with
your
current
case
manager
at
the
middle
school,
so
high
school
case
managers
are
currently
now
meeting
with
middle
schools
to
gain
information
about
the
incoming
8th
graders
who
receive
services
on
plans.
O
The
intent
of
this
is
to
gain
knowledge
of
the
incoming
class
of
students
and
to
assign
case
managers
to
the
high
school
by
the
spring.
The
reason
behind
this
is
to
have
a
point
of
contact
for
families
to
be
able
to
connect,
especially
if
they
have
concerns
about
their
student
and
transitioning
to
the
high
school.
O
If
families
have
questions
about
this
process
as
we
move
through
the
spring,
it
is
really
important
that
you
contact
your
current
case
manager.
They
are
going
to
be
the
avenue
to
create
connection
with
the
case
manager
at
the
high
school
to
have
those
conversations
that
families
and
students
may
need
as
they're
moving
into
the
high
school
setting
in
terms
of
how
we
start
the
year,
with
working
with
families.
Case
managers
reach
out
to
families
to
open
that
line
of
communication
at
the
start
of
the
school
year.
O
It's
also
also
case
managers
reach
out
to
students,
teachers
to
inform
them
of
the
plans
and
accommodations
and
modifications
that
students
will
need
within
the
general
ed
environment
in
terms
of
services
and
accommodations.
We
we
already
offer
a
wide
variety
of
the
services
and
accommodations
for
students
who
are
accessing
services
through
ieps
and
504s,
and
we
continue
always
to
reflect
upon
what
we
do
offer
currently
and
what
we
will.
P
The
scores
that
they
earn
on
these
tests,
along
with
teacher
recommendations,
will
determine
what
their
class
placement
is
and
in
the
next
slides,
I
can
show
you
what
some
of
those
placements
look
like.
So
for
students
who
are
new
to
the
united
states
and
who
are
new
to
english,
they
will
be
placed
in
the
foundational
classes
we
have.
The
aep
is
the
accelerated
english
program
and
the
that
is
meant
to
get
students
comfortable
using
and
understanding
in
oral
english.
P
The
next
slide.
Okay.
So
on
this
slide
this
these
are
some
cl,
sheltered
english
classes
that
are
open.
Once
students
have
a
foundation
in
english,
they
can
go
into
english,
3
or
english
4,
and
then
we
also
have
some
science
and
health
and
math
and
social
studies
sheltered
classes
that
will
help
students
to
improve
their
content.
P
English,
the
english
that
is
necessary
to
access
the
classes
like
science
and
social
studies
and
math
for
many
ninth
graders,
who
are
coming
in
they
will
be
if
their
english
proficiency
and
the
teacher
recommendations
have
recommended
that
they
go
into
mainstream
classes.
But
we
still
have
the
understanding
that
they
are
going
to
need
some
support.
P
The
next
slide
will
show
how
we
have
some
classes
in
humanities
and
civics
earth
science,
and
then
they
would
take
a
supplemental
class
that
would
that
is
co-taught
by
both
a
language,
specialist
or
el
teacher
and
one
of
the
general
education
teachers
in
science
in
earth
science
or
in
humanities
and
the
these
teachers
collaborate
to
make
sure
that
that
this,
the
information
that
the
students
are
getting
in
the
content
that
the
students
are
getting
is
accessible
to
them.
So
they
will
have
these
core
classes
that
are
also
supported
by
an
el
teacher.
G
G
Although
this
is
the
minimum
requirement,
we
strongly
encourage
students
to
continue
on
to
the
more
advanced
levels
to
further
develop
their
skills
and
deepen
their
knowledge
of
the
language.
We
also
want
students
to
take.
We
also
encourage
students
to
take
more
than
one
language,
as
we
have
a
number
of
students
already
doing
at
burlington
high
school
next
slide.
G
Learning
a
language
is
about
connections
and
communication.
It
connects
students
to
other
people,
other
cultures
and
other
disciplines
of
study.
It
also
helps
develop
critical
skills
in
speaking
listening
reading
and
writing
and
provides
a
doorway
to
the
world.
We
are
lucky
at
bhs
that
we
are
able
to
offer
five
different
languages
to
students
and,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
spanish
one
through
ap
we
have
french
one
through
ap.
We
have
latin
one
through
level.
Four
german
one
through
level
four
and
chinese,
two
and
three
next
slide.
G
Q
Q
So
we
take
the
students
where
they
are
with
their
level
of
skills
on
the
qatar
which
could
range
from
never
touching
the
qatar
to
several
years
on
guitar,
and
we
develop
little
miniature
courses
in
that
semester
and
allow
them
to
move
at
their
own
pace.
There
is
a
guitar
one
and
there's
a
guitar
too
there's
also
a
piano
one
and
a
piano
too.
J
Good
evening
my
name
is
colby
skoglin.
I
represent
visual
arts
design
technology
education
as
well
as
computer
science,
and
I'm
first
going
to
touch
base
that
art
of
full
art
credit
is
a
requirement
of
all
students.
Some
take
the
track
of
performance.
Performing
arts
like
music,
like
kathleen
just
explained,
others
go
the
route
of
visual
arts
of
fine
art,
and
many
of
our
students
do
both.
So
that
is
an
option
for
visual
arts.
The
ninth
grade
option
is
art.
One
next
slide.
Please.
J
Art
options
as
they
progress
through,
we
have
art
two.
If
a
student
chooses
to
do,
let's
say
music
in
their
ninth
grade
year,
they
also
have
an
option
to
do
art
one
as
a
tenth
or
eleventh
grader.
We
also
have
several
electives
that
are
full
year
and
several
electives
that
are
semester-long
classes,
landscape,
collage,
paper,
mache,
portraiture
and
figure,
drawing
are
full
year
elective
classes
and
then
digital
photography
and
imaging,
as
well
as
fundamentals
of
graphic
design,
are
semester
long
classes
new.
J
We
have
just
introduced
a
computer
science
program
to
burlington
high
school.
It's
the
first
time
it
has
been
in
real
person
this
year
and
it's
been
very,
very
popular
amongst
students,
and
so,
if
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide
here,
introduction
to
programming
and
game
design
is
available
for
9th
grade
students
10th
through
12th
grade
students
can
take
programming
with
python
or
physical
computing.
J
Next
slide,
please,
and
then
in
the
design
technology
realm.
We
do
offer
engineering
and
we
offer
two
levels
of
engineering
engineering.
One
is
a
half
year
class
engineering
2
is
a
full
year
class
that
does
provide
a
science
credit.
These
programs
are
offered
on
an
every
other
year
schedule
so
currently,
in
our
current
school
year,
engineering
1
is
being
offered
next
year.
Engineering
2
will
be
offered
so
for
your
incoming
9th
grade
engineering
will
be
available
to
them
as
a
sophomore.
R
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name
is
allison
archake
and
I
am
the
lead
pe
teacher
and
health
teacher
and
the
requirements
for
pe
and
health
at
the
high
school
level
is
1.5
credits
which
equals
three
semesters
classes
are
described
in
the
program
of
studies.
We
do
offer
a
variety
of
classes,
they're
open
to
all
9th
through
12th
graders,
at
least
most
of
them
are.
R
If
you
want
more
information
about
those
classes,
please
see
the
program
of
studies
or
feel
free
to
contact
me.
Another
option
that
we
have
is
called
bhs
interest,
classic
sports
credit,
which
starts
in
the
10th
grade
year.
This
option
is
for
0.5
credit
only
so
that
would
take
care
of
one
class
if
you
will
of
pe
credit,
and
your
student
needs
to
be
participating
in
a
bhs
sport
again.
B
Thank
you
alison,
so
next
steps,
lisa
breuter,
walked
you
through
a
little
bit
what
the
student
request
process
looks
like,
and
somebody
had
a
great
question
in
the
chat
about
that
timeline
at
the
middle
schools.
The
timeline
that
we
shared
was
what
we
had
initially
planned
and
the
middle
schools
may
be
altering
that
slightly.
The
goal
is
for
that.
B
Those
requests
to
come
in
before
february
break
so
that
we're
all
able
to
take
all
of
those
student
requests
and
we
put
them
into
our
system
to
try
and
build
as
near
perfect
a
master
schedule
as
we
can
to
accommodate
as
many
requests
as
we
can.
So,
if
you
have
specific
questions
about
when
your
child
is
going
to
be
doing
that
at
the
middle
school,
you
can
reach
out
to
your
middle
school
counselor,
either
kathy
sturgis
or
patricia
holbert
about
the
exact
timeline
there.
B
B
Some
of
you
have
older
students
who
are
already
at
bhs
for
some
of
you.
This
is
your
first
opportunity
to
to
get
a
little
glimpse
of
what
our
high
school
is
like
and
to
meet
some
of
us.
We
are
really
looking
forward
to
continuing
that
journey
with
you
and
your
students,
and
with
that
I
will
open
it
up
to
other
questions.
I
A
I
think
what
we
can
do
is:
let's
keep
on
using
the
chat.
We
have
a
couple
minutes
because
we're
we're
a
little
bit
overtime,
so
I
think
we
can
start
by
answering
just
the
things
that
may
not
have
been
addressed.
I've
seen
a
couple
of
questions
that
have
come
up
about
chinese
one,
so
we're.
Currently
I
had
written
something
about
that.
A
But
we
will
be
offering
chinese
two
and
three,
but
it's
currently
up
in
the
air
for
chinese
one
in
terms
of
capital
improvements,
including
windows.
So
we
are,
I
think
one
thing
that's
important
to
note
about
our
building
is
that
we
do
not
own
the
building.
It
is
a
leased
building
for
the
temporary
time
that
we
are
there.
So
the
capital
improvements
that
we
are
lucky
looking
at
do
not
include
windows.
We
have
been
looking
at.
We
continue
to
look
at
sound
and
acoustics
capital
improvements.
A
We
are
ensuring
that
all
of
our
classrooms
and
offices
have
doors
and
are
looking
at
some
additional,
like
safety
features
just
to
enhance
what
we
already
have,
and
so
so
that's
sort
of
the
the
scope
of
the
work
that
we're
looking
at
right
now,
just
looking
at
after
school
clubs,
we
have
a
plethora
of
after
school,
extracurriculars
and
different
clubs.
Japanese
is
not
a
current
club,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
different
offerings
and
I'm
just
trying
to.
A
A
For
students
there
is
a
ninth
grade
pre-tech
or
there
is
an
option
for
ninth
grade
pre-tech.
That
will
be
in
our
our
course
of
study.
Our
sorry,
our
program
studies
additionally,
but
the
majority
of
our
burlington
tech
center
classes
do
start
to
come
in
primarily
in
our
like
10th
11th
12th
grade
years.
But
there
are
a
sprinkling
of
things
that
are
available
for
9th
graders.
A
A
Sorry,
if
you
could
hear
people
running
upstairs,
those
are
my
little
ones
that
have
elephant
feet,
so
it
and
yeah.
So
I
will
say
I
know
that
a
lot
of
times
people
are
at
are
asking
questions
about
windows,
so
I
will
say
that
while
we
may
not
have
windows
like
we
do,
there
are
a
lot
of
teachers
and
classes
and
opportunities
for
students
to
get
outside
throughout
the
course
of
the
day,
obviously
winter's
a
little
bit
harder
just
based
on
the
weather.
A
But
that
being
said,
our
friend
on
friday,
we
have
choice
time,
which
is
an
extended
time
for
extracurriculars
and
some
clubs
to
meet
during
the
school
day,
and
I
have
definitely
seen
like
our
walking
club
going
outside.
Even
you
know,
as
within
the
past
couple
weeks,
they're
all
bundled
up,
but
they
are
getting
out
there.
So
we
do
take
as
many
opportunities
as
we
can
to
provide
options
for
students
to
be
able
to
access.
You
know
some
fresh
air
throughout
the
course
of
the
day.
A
So
this
is
a
this
is
a
work
that
is
actively
in
motion,
we're
working
with
our
current
students
faculty
staff
to
be
looking
at
our
handbook
really
critically
to
ensure
that
it
really
fits
fits
where
we
are
in
space
and
time
as
a
community
and
addresses
a
lot
of
different
things.
So
that
is
work
that's
underway.
Currently,
with
the
goal
of
being
able
to
roll
out
a
new
student
handbook
in
the
fall
of
22-23.
A
And
with
that,
my
long-winded
way
of
answering
that
was
saying
that
community
service
is
one
of
those
policies
that
we're
currently
looking
at.
Under
our
current
handbook.
It
says
that
students
need
to
graduate
with
a
total
of
40
community
service
hours,
and
that
is
something
that
we
are
looking.
That's
one
of
the
the
many
things
that
we're
looking
at
to
see
if
that
still
holds
true
or
how
community
service,
knowing
that
the
the
value
and
work
of
community
service
is
really
important,
but
how
it
fits
into
our
current.
A
Let's
see,
I
see
melanie
answering
one
thing:
there
was
a
question
about
critiquing
the
art
students,
I'm
not
necessarily
sure
exactly
what
that
question
is
asking,
and
but
we
do,
we
are
proficiency
based,
and
so
there
is
a
lot
of
feedback.
That's
given
within
our
art
department,
and
all
of
our
work
is
based
on
proficiency,
so
students
do
receive,
do
receive
information,
that's
or
do
receive
feedback.
Based
on
that,
I
think
it's
it
looks
like
we've
hit.
I
think
we've
gotten
most
of
everything.
A
J
No,
I
was
just
gonna
say
that
I
asked
a
student
today.
What
advice
would
you
give
to
an
incoming
ninth
grader
and
that
advice
was
get
involved,
become
part
of
the
community,
and
that
was
a
suggestion
from
both
a
junior
and
a
senior,
and
I
think
that
if
your
student
has
questions
reaching
out
to
any
adult
in
the
building,
we
are
all
there
for
them
to
have
a
successful,
high
school
experience,
and
thank
you
all
for
joining
us
tonight.
A
Thank
you
colby,
who
just
colby
also,
not
only
is
she
she's
a
a
jill
of
all
trades.
She
is
just
coming
off
the
mountain
as
one
of
our
alpine
coaches.
So
thank
you
for
being
here,
so
I
think
with
that.
I
think
we've
hit
a
lot
of
things.
I
know
that
questions
are
going
to
come
up
and
remember.
This
is
just
the
start
of
a
much
longer
conversation
and
ways
that
we
can
provide
more
information.
A
We
know
that
this
is
probably
a
little
in
some
ways
like
it's
it's
exciting,
but
it's
overwhelming
it's
nerve-wracking.
We
want
to
help
to
make
this
transition
as
as
seamless
as
possible
for
your
kiddos
as
they
look
to
enter
into
the
next
four
years
of
a
really
exciting
time
in
their
life.
There
will
definitely
be
more
information
that
will
be
coming
out
over
the
course
of
the
the
coming
months.
A
One
of
the
things
I
know
that
kate
had
mentioned
earlier
is
that
we
are
currently
working
with
our
bhs
ambassadors
and
looking
at
being
able
to
provide
opportunities
for
our
current
eighth
grade
families
to
come
into
our
building
and
see
just
what
downtown
bhs
is
all
about,
and
so
that
information
will
be
coming
in
the
coming
month
or
so
with
with
dates
and
opportunities.
For
that
so
stay
tuned
and
kate.
I
will
hand
it
over
to
you
to
sign
us
off.
B
B
We
will
have
a
a
link
to
this
recording
available
on
the
counseling
page
on
the
bhs
website.
We're
also
going
to
put
together
some
faqs
based
on
some
of
the
great
questions
you
asked
us
tonight
to
have
available
for
anyone
who
wasn't
able
to
attend
tonight
or
if
you
just
want
a
second
look
at
some
of
the
answers
that
you
asked
us
about.
B
If
you
have
any
follow-up
questions,
we
have
the
counseling
department
email
as
well
as
our
main
phone
number
at
bhs,
where
you
can
reach
our
counseling
department,
as
well
as
any
of
the
teachers
or
administrators
or
bhs
staff
that
you
talked
with
tonight,
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
the
journey
with
you.
So
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
Everyone
for
participating
and
have
a
great
night.
