B
A
Being
out
here
on
this
almost
rainy
day,
I
appreciate
you
being
here
and
I
want
to
thank
the
members
of
our
Board
of
Education,
who
are
here
as
well,
and
we
have
an
interesting
all
over
the
place
agenda
today.
So
thank
you
for
being
here.
This
will
be
recorded,
we'll
send
it
out
tomorrow,
for
anybody
who
wasn't
able.
A
She
will
be
part
of
our
mental
health,
Wellness
team,
our
emotional
Wellness
team,
along
with
our
two
psychologists
and
our
social
worker,
so
I'm
going
to
let
her
introduce
herself
and
Mariella
we're
very
happy
to
have
you
here
and
we
will
share
all
of
your
contact
information
as
well.
From
this
slide.
C
A
A
A
So
the
Mariella
will
be
really
working
with
kids,
who
are
identified
in
any
way
of
having
issues
with
drug
or
alcohol
or
those
students
who
may
be
at
risk
for
a
drug
and
alcohol
abuse.
So
from
time
to
time
we
have
students
here
who
you
know
have
issues
here
on
campus.
Those
kids
would
have
mandatory
sessions
with
Mariella,
but
it's
important
to
know
that
she
will
have
evening
hours
as
well,
for
parents
who
may
just
want
to
reach
out
and
meet.
They
might
have
issues
in
the
home.
A
So
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
we're
seeing
sort
of
in
the
wake
of
covid
that
have
really
amped
up
some
of
these
threats
and
these
behaviors.
So
Mariella
is
there.
She
has
access
to
great
resources,
great
programs
and
her
level
of
confidentiality
is
increased
because
she
is
working
through
Student,
Assistance
and.
C
C
Yeah,
no
thank
you.
So
the
you
know,
the
ultimate
goal
of
the
program
is
really
to
prevent
and
reduce
teen
substance
use,
and
so
that
includes
you
know
some
prevention
activities,
but
because
I
don't
work
directly
for
the
school
and
I
work
for
Student
Assistance
Services
I
just
have
a
different
level
of
confidentiality.
C
A
It
used
to
be
a
lot
more
before
we
moved
to
Glen
Island,
Harbor
Club,
but
still
a
a
great
resource
for
us
as
well,
but
parents
can
call-
and
just
if
you,
you
know,
if
you
just
have
a
question
hey,
what
are
some
warning
signs
that
my
kid
may
be
vaping?
What
are
some
warning
signs
that
you
know
that
there
may
be
parties
going
on,
and
what
are
some
lies
that
my
kids
tell
me:
what
are
some
resources
that
you
know
that
you
could
have
that?
D
Go
through
what
title
one
is
it
comes
out
to
be:
every
student
succeeds
act
or
Essa,
where
there's
a
there's,
a
Federal
grant.
We
can
apply
for
to
receive
funding.
The
funding
is
based
on
the
need,
so
we
don't
get
a
lot
of
money,
but
we
get
enough.
That
makes
it
worth
my
while
to
put
money
into
programs.
D
Are
used
to
support
students
who
might
be
struggling
to
meet
standards,
so
we
could.
It
could
be
funding
that
we
use
to
provide
students
extra
time
after
school
or
in
the
summertime,
with
the
target
students
and
that's
part
of
what
our
funding
is
used
for.
It
could
be
on
professional
development
for
teachers
that
is
targeting
how
to
scaffold
lessons
to
support
those
students
who
might
be
struggling
in
the
academic
context.
It
also
provides
opportunities
for
parents
to
be
involved
in
our
schools
about
all.
D
Used
federal
funds
in
the
past
have
been
around
academic
support,
as
I
mentioned,
for
those
students
in
need
who
are
following
below
standards
for
professional
development.
Teacher
training,
so
I
was
talking
about
the
federal
grants
that
I
applied
for
on
an
annual
basis,
there's
criteria
that
I
have
to
meet
in
order
to
receive
the
puppies,
and
these
were
some
of
the
areas
in
which
we've
used
the
funds
in
the
past.
So
this
has
to
go
through
an
approval
process.
I
work
on
this
every
summer
we.
D
B
D
A
D
Get
involved,
and
these
are
some
other
ways.
We
have
an
amazing
PTSA
that
is
very
active
in
our
schools.
I'm,
very
thankful
for
all
the
work
that
PTSA
does
as
well
as
our
viral
Hills
Education
Foundation,
who
has
been
really
Innovative
in
funding
projects
like
some
of
the
furniture
and
these
machines
on
the
wall
were
initially
rolling,
those
out,
amongst
other
things,
we
just
had
a
psychase
team
meeting.
Last
night,
we
were
talking
about
our
character,
education
principles,
the
involved
in
site-based
team
and
hiring
committees.
D
D
D
Just
a
couple
of
the
initiatives
in
our
Focus
only
from
the
title
brand
for
a
moment,
so
one
thing
we
studied
a
few
years
back.
We
studied
this
through
our
site-based
teams.
We
did
some
book
reads
with
administrators.
Using
Mark
brackett's
book
called
permission
to
feel
Mark.
Brackett
is
studies,
emotions
and
he's
out
of
Yale
University
and
you've
been
partnering
with
Yale
Center
for
emotional
intelligence
for
many
years,
and
one.
D
To
attend
to
focus
and
to
really
meet
their
academic
potential,
they
have
to
be
in
touch
with
feelings
and
emotions
that
have
to
be
healthy
emotionally
and
that
these
things
are
are
linked
together,
and
that
also
comes
out
of
what
we've
learned
in
Neuroscience
over
the
past
10
years
is
that
emotional
resilience
and
our
ability
to
learn
are
enjoyable,
and
that's
really
key.
So
that's
why
we
have
a
big
emphasis
on
Wellness
as
well
as
academic
career,
so.
D
Rigor,
but
unless
kids
are
doing
well
and
they're
ready
to
meet
that
level,
they're
just
never
going
to
attain
their
maximum
potential
and
to
do
that,
we
use
this
framework
from
Castle,
which
is
a
social
emotional
learning,
competencies,
there's
five
main
competencies
and
we
work
to
integrate
those
competencies
throughout
our
schools,
and
this
is
something
we've
been
working
on,
also
through
site-basing
and
every
building
principle
working
on
these,
integrating
that,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
students
have
the
Readiness
to
achieve
at
their
highest
levels.
So
that's
part
of
our
social
emotional
learning
initiative.
D
These
are
character,
education
principles,
which
the
site-based
team
has
been
reviewing
for
the
past
couple
of
years,
respectful
dialogue,
respect
yourself
and
others,
and
service
and
kindness.
These
were
written
about
25
years
ago
through
the
site-based
team,
through
engagement
with
our
community.
So
we're
revisiting
these
and
I
just
pose
the
question
to
our
site-based
team.
Are
they
still
relevant
and
are?
Is
there
anything
missing?
D
Should
we
be
updating
our
character,
Ed
principles,
so
we've
been
studying
that
and
site-based
team
just
did
a
couple
years
of
work
and
now
I'm
forming
a
subcommittee
where
we
can
now
maybe
go
out
to
our
community
and
start
serving
our
community
based
on
some
of
the
feedback
that
we
and
some
of
the
other
character
traits
that
we're
starting
to
identify
as
being
important
now
over
two
decades
later,
for
when
these
were
originally
written.
So
we're
starting
to
look
at
this
again
and
possibly
rewrite
our
character
as
principles.
D
D
We've
had
for
the
past
10
years
really
deliberately
worked
on
a
kindergarten
through
12th
grade
steam
curriculum,
and
these
are
some
of
the
pictures
of
our
kids
engaging
some
are
old.
You
might
recognize
young
kids
for
any
of
your
children
many
years
ago,
but
we
have
a
really
rigorous
stem
program
going
up
from
kindergarten
where
kids
start
to
do
coding
up
through
high
school,
where
they're
taking
Robotics
and
Engineering
courses.
I
was
just
with
a
it
was
a
fourth
or
fifth
grade
student
I'm,
going
to
show
this
to
the
board.
D
D
D
D
D
Programs
to
bring
to
our
students
and
came
up
with
entrepreneurship
seems
to
be
a
real
need
and
interest
of
our
high
school
students
and
we've
developed
a
two-year
program
which
we're
starting
now
this
year,
for
the
first
time,
just
rolling
that
out.
This
fall
we're
only
two
months
now
into
the
course
we
were
very
excited
about
the
enrollment.
We
were
hoping.
We
would
get
enough
to
run
one
section.
We
ended
up
having
to
run
three
sections
or
six
or
63
students
enrolled.
D
So
it's
a
really
exciting
program,
and
we
also
the
most
exciting
part
for
me-
is
I've
been
looking
for
this
for
years,
is
how
can
we
get
our
parents
to
actually
come
into
the
schools
and
work
with
our
students
at
the
high
school
level?
You
all
probably
know
when
you
have
young
kids
in
elementary.
You
would
come
in
and
do
your
reading
with
the
kid,
and
you
were
much
more
involved
than
when
you
started
to
get
to
middle
school.
But
your
kid
was
pushing
you
away,
saying:
don't.
D
In
high
school,
how
could
you
get
involved
in
the
school?
So
the
our
entrepreneurship
program
has
three
different
ways:
parents
can
be
involved
and
one
is
to
be
a
coach.
So
if
you're
somehow
involved
in
Industry,
when
you
have
expertise
in
a
particular
topic
around
running
a
business,
you
could
come
in
and
you'll
work
with
a
teacher
and
design
a
lesson
where
you
can
come
in
and
teach
the
kids.
D
B
D
Are
formed
and
then
the
kids
work
on
a
project
and
they
pitch
their
project
at
the
end
of
the
year
for
their
business
idea.
So
we're
looking
for
mentors
who
will
Mentor
that
team
throughout
the
year.
So
we
do
have
I
believe
it's
15
teams
and
we
have
have
15
mentors.
We
have
been
reaching
out.
We
have
a
database
of
parents,
we're
always
looking
for
more,
but.
A
D
Then
they
match
them
up.
So
what
happens
and
I
didn't
know
this?
This
is
going
to
be
really
interesting,
so
all
the
teams
will
pitch
their
idea
and
the
mentors
listen,
the
mentors
introduce
themselves
and
they're
sort
of
pitching
themselves,
so
the
students
get
to
pitch
their
top
three
choices,
select
their
top
three
choices
and
then
Mentor
is
going
to
select
their
top
three
choices
for
students.
Then
the
teachers
will
go
behind
closed
doors
and
match.
D
In
being
a
coach
Mentor
or
being
on
the
advisory,
the
shark
during
the
pitch
committees,
you
can
email
me
and
I'll.
Send
you
our
link
to
the
survey
to
fill
out
the
database?
You
know
we're
constantly
keeping
that
updated.
If
you
know
anyone
else
out
there
that
you
say
hey,
this
would
be
great
for
you,
people
to
be
interested.
D
We
want
to
keep
them
involving
our
families
and
it's
a
really
great
opportunity
to
have
our
families
coming
in
I
know
we
have
such
Rich
resources
here
in
armock
and
I
want
to
bring
that
to
our
kids.
I
think
what
an
amazing
opportunity
for
our
students
to
have
exposure
to
just
the
fast
knowledge
base,
that's
happening
in
our
community
coaches,
if
you're,
if
you're
an
expert,
so
that's
one
way
to
think
of
it.
D
A
D
A
E
Thank
you,
so
just
I
wanted
to
kind
of
give
you
a
big
picture
about
academic
advising
frm
Health
starting
the
week
of
November
7th.
We
will
send
out
the
appointment
schedule,
so
your
child
is
going
to
be
able
if
there
are
ninth
or
tenth
grade
deciding
they're
going
to
sign
up
for
an
academic
advising
meeting
with
their
Council
and
in
that
meeting,
what
they're
going
to
look
at
what
I
talked
about
before
things
like?
What
are
your
strengths
in
academically
speaking?
What
are
your
strengths
as
a
person?
E
E
Do
you
want
to
be
by
the
time
you
graduate
from
from
high
school?
What
courses
do
you
want
to
take?
How
do
you?
How
do
you
see
yourself
and
the
counselor
really
helps
connect
the
dots
with
current
Byron
health
coursework
and
what
a
student
is
telling
them
they're
also
going
to
start
to
make
that
jump
to
okay?
E
If
this
is
what
is
register
student,
have
you
thought
of
this
potential
career,
this
potential
major
and,
if
so,
possibly
even
bring
in
some
discussion
about
colleges
and
universities
that
can
support
that's
for
9th
and
10th
grade
students
they're
going
to
do
that
each
year
they
can
do
it
multiple
times
they
don't
have
to
just
do
it
one
time
in
a
given
year.
We
start
that
in
November.
We
continue
that
through
March.
E
So
don't
worry
if
your
child
doesn't
get
an
appointment
with
their
counselor
the
first
week
that
it's
open
we're
doing
this
weekly
through
the
end
of
March
for
our
11th
grade
students
that
academic
advising
meeting
is
happening
within
the
individual,
the
first
student
meeting
with
their
counselor
about
college
okay.
So
that's
going
to
go
out
separately,
it's
going
to
say
it's
a
college
meeting
and
that
academic
advising
piece
is
going
to
take
place
within
that
initial
College
meeting
that
is,
and
the
counselor
my
parents
aren't
admitted
at
that
point.
E
They
looked
at
what
other
kind
of
electives
a
student
was
was
in
during
their
time
at
Byron
Hills,
any
leadership
that
they
may
have
had,
and
then
we
put
together
a
list
which
is
not
by
any
means
an
exhaustive
list
of
colleges
where
students
applied
who
wanted
to
pursue
business.
We
did
this
for
about
I,
think
53,
six
different
Majors
we're
going
to
start
to
expand
that
it
takes
a
lot
of
time,
but
we
do
think
that
this
is
helpful.
It's
not
the
exact
pathway.
E
I
just
want
to
say
that
there
it's
there
are
multiple
Pathways,
there's
a
number
of
ways
to
do
this,
but
this
is
one
of
the
ways
that
we
do
things.
We
would
start
to
work
with
students
to
show
them
if
they
are
interested
in
business.
The
type
of
courses
that
they
might
want
to
try
to
involve
it
and.
A
Some
of
these
schools,
some
of
the
colleges,
have
schools
which
make
it
easier
for
us
to
collect
that
data.
You
know
and
and
the
more
sort
of
we
get
from
these
other
schools
in
these
other
areas,
the
more
data
we'll
have
and
we
can
start
to
isolate
what
it
was
that
those
kids
had
when
they
were
applying.
It
is
a
really
good
point
for
me
to
just
thank
all
of
the
teachers
who
do
do
those
College
recommendation
letters.
A
A
We
don't
want
to
do
that,
and
I
do
want
to
make
make
sure
that
the
community
is
aware
of
just
how
grateful
I
am
that
our
teachers
are
willing
to
do
that,
because
it
really
does
put
the
spice
in
the
application,
and
it
does
separate
the
kids.
So
I'm
really
thankful
that
our
teachers
are
willing
to
go
and
do
that.
E
We
are
hearing
more
and
more
from
the
college
and
colleges
and
universities,
especially
now
that
a
lot
of
colleges
have
become
test
optional.
So
you
don't
have
to
submit
test
scores.
They
have
to
look
at
other
things
to
make
a
decision
about
a
student
and
one
of
the
places
that
they're
putting
a
lot
more
emphasis
than
we've
ever
seen
before.
Is
the
students
essay,
the
personal
essay
and
also
the
teacher
recommendation.
E
E
After
you,
as
a
parent,
has
been
invited
in
for
the
family
meeting,
it
is
discussed
in
those
meetings
who
should
be
the
right
person,
because
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
you
know
details
that
go
into
that
I'm
going.
You
know,
possibly
as
an
engineering
major.
Well,
we
obviously
considering
you
know
a
math
or
a
physics,
teacher
or
maybe
I
want
to
go
as
an
English,
major
okay.
E
We
should
be
considering
a
lot
of
different
things,
so
it's
decided
in
those
meetings
who
the
student
is
going
to
ask,
and
then
we
actually
have
a
forum
where
our
students
pick
up
the
form
they
complete
it.
They
actually
hand
it
to
their
counselor
or
sorry
hand
it
to
the
teacher
who
they're
going
to
ask
and
they
have
a
conversation
with
the
teacher
and
say
this
is
the
reason
why
I
think
you
be
a
good
person
to
write
this
letter
of
recommendation
so.
E
A
A
Yeah,
that's
because
they
you
do
have
to
fill
out
the
academic
ratings
and
I
don't
have
those
academic
ratings.
I
can
speak
to
sort
of
the
overall
growth
leadership.
You
know
service
commitment
to
the
school
so
that
I
can
sort
of
paint
that
picture,
but
they
I
I
always
thought
that
going
out
and
finding
a
teacher
who
really
knows
who
you
are
as
a
learner
and
maybe
can
speak
to
some
of
your
growth
and
your
strengths.
Those
are
the
the
people
that
you
want.
A
E
Wanted
to
just
pull
up
this
website,
real
quick
for
you.
This
is
on
the
guidance
website.
It
is
course
selection.
It
will
have
all
information
related
to
course,
selection.
You
can
see
here
that
the
appointment
calendars
are
available,
so
you
just
click
on
it
for
your
counselor,
your
child's
counselor,
and
they
make
an
appointment.
E
E
But,
let's
just
say,
your
child
is
interested
in
applying
they're
a
10th
grader
and
they
think
they
want
to
take
AP
US
History
next
year
and
they
come
home
and
they
tell
you
this
and
that
they
talked
about
it
with
their
counselor
in
January,
when
the
application
time
starts,
they're
going
to
be
able
to
go
to
the
social
studies,
link
and
they're
going
to
see
what
is
involved
in
the
AP
application
process,
all
of
the
AP
application
process.
Information
is
on
here.
E
If
there's
a
special
application
for
any
course
that
your
child
will
be
applying
to,
it
will
be
on
this
website
or
it
will
be
linked.
There's
information
about
all
of
the
courses
on
their
leadership
positions
and
then
just
general
information
that
you
need
to
know
about
course.
Selection,
big
picture
is
that
it
starts
in
January
with
any
course
that
requires
an
application
or
as
an
AP,
and
then
it's
completed
in
March,
where
students
select
electives.
So
this
is
this
is
the
course
selection
website.
E
E
A
E
We
try
to
do
kind
of
the
Hot
Topics
we
do
it
every
two
weeks
and
sort
of
what
we
see
coming
up
is
going
to
be
something
that
we
need
parents
to
know
about,
so
that
right
now
we're
getting
a
lot
of
that
are
asking
us.
My
teacher
recommendation.
I,
don't
think
it's
been
sent.
How
do
I
check
so
I
have
like
a
whole
thing
on
how
to
do
that.
On
Naviance
we
have
WCC
is
hosting
an
application
day
just
for
Byron
Health
students.
E
If
a
student
wants
to
apply
to
WCC
it's
free
on
this
day,
they
can
do
it
with
a
counselor
in
the
CCC
on
November
1st,
as
the
marking
period
is
coming
to
a
close,
we're
getting
a
lot
of
questions
about
how
do
I
get
a
peer.
Tutor
I
need
something
to
tutor
me.
So
that
goes
into
detail
as
to
how
to
do
that
and
then
I
had
the
college
admissions
and
financial
aid
which
was
held
on
the
18th
and
I
had
information
about
that.
E
A
Right
so
I
did
have
the
challenge
success
website
on
the
agenda,
but
we're
going
into
an
hour
and
a
half
and
I
really
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
dedicating
enough
time
to
sharing
the
resources
that
are
on
there.
So
I'm
going
to
actually
push
this
off
to
the
November
meeting,
but
this
is
active
it's
up
and
running.
This
is
our
challenge.
Success
website.
If
you
feel
a
little
bit
of
stress
from
the
discussion
around.
A
So,
as
you
work
with
guidance,
this
is
the
the
time
wheel
activity
it
just
sort
of
came
to
my
mind
to
try
to
figure
out
whether
you
should
be
taking
that
AP
class.
This
can
help
you
out
figuring
that
out,
but
I'm
going
to
dedicate
a
the
first
part
of
next
month's
meeting
to
this
website
and
I'll
invite
people
in
from
who
are
on
the
steering
committee
as
well.
We
have
the
picture
retakes
that
are
coming
up.
A
They're,
going
to
be
this
Friday,
so
I'll
send
the
blast
out
as
well.
Putting
that
out
there
Halloween
I
did
want
to
let
everybody
know
that
we're
we
welcome
costumes
as
long
as
that
they're
appropriate,
and
that
there
are
no
masks,
no
issues
of
violence
or
extreme
sexuality.
People
are
more
than
more
than
able
to
come
in
and
have
a
have.
Wear
costumes.
A
You
know
some
sometimes
it's
usually
more
into
middle
school,
but
in
high
school
we
see
some
of
the
costumes
become
exclusionary.
So
you
have
the
Seven
Dwarves
and
there's
eight
people
in
the
friend
group
right.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
intentionally
leaving
people
out
based
on
our
costumes
and
it's
something
to
sort
of
ask
questions
about
as
a
parent,
well,
I'm.
A
A
Time
is
ending
so
that'll
move
everything
back
and
to
the
First
Market
period.
