in our video about customizing the theme we briefly went over the navigation menu and how it functions on your site in this video we'll be taking a more in-depth look at the menu and how to customize it we'll also be going over how to add a social links menu for use with your various social media accounts such as Twitter Facebook and Instagram so let's begin we can head to the menus sub panel underneath the appearance section of the dashboard here is where you can create and manage the menus for your site first give your menu a name and then hit create menu our theme WordPress 2017 supports two menus a primary navigation menu at the top of your site and a social links menu which I'll get to in just a little bit under menu settings you can choose where the display location will be I'll choose top menu for this one that we just created now let's add some pages to our menu WordPress automatically provides a list of all the most recent added pages of our site I'll select them all and add them to the menu once the pages are added much like widgets you can reorder the items or customize some Advanced Options you can also add links to individual blog posts or even custom links another option to add is categories which lets you choose categories of posts to be featured in the menu as well it's sometimes a good idea to set categories as sub pages which will appear as drop-down menu items to do this simply drag the category underneath the page and then drag it a bit to the right to ensure that it becomes that sub page once you're happy with your custom menu hit the Save button and we can go take a look on our live preview as I said earlier this theme includes a social links menu but keep in mind not all themes do support this I'll be creating a new custom menu but I'll be using the customizer this time I'll name this menu social links and then I'll add items to it as custom links for each custom link add the URL address for each social profile such as Twitter Facebook and Instagram once your links are added make sure to hit save and publish and don't forget to set the social links menu to the social links location if we take a look at the social links menu you'll see that WordPress has automatically replaced the icons with their proper social profile icons corresponding to the set social profile as you can see with menus your visitor can easily find the most important content on your website and with da TZ and WordPress it's never been easier to have a fully functioning easily navigational site stay tuned to this channel for more videos and thanks for watching [Music] you [Music]

Blandings team did incredible job organizing things and the students speeches and the like were unbelievable so it was just well attended event and we wish the graduates all the best kyt women just to keep everybody abreast of what's going on we are right now counting on 139 students registered at center school last month I reported that we anticipated 141 based on the count we had at that time right now a definitive count to count on 139 we've looked into trying to see if there are some patterns of students moving in students moving out the last month of the summer we don't have any hard data from power school and the reason for that is the students aren't completely entered into power school in the summer until the whole packet is received by the school from the parents so we're having a little trouble trying to get hard data and patterns on that but with eight sections planned we're looking at 17.3 students for class right now our range in kindergarten is 17 to 20 students with a target of xix so even if tens of 16 students move in we'll still be at around 19 to 20 at the most in class so I think in six weeks 16 students moving in is probably not likely but it could happen so we're continuing to monitor and we'll let the board know as things change in the next couple of weeks I'll keep you informed prior to our next meeting on August 16th hiring update you'll see later on the consent agenda we've been very busy in the human resources office and I need to thank Terry Cavanagh and the team for and the principals and their teams at each school as everybody knows we had a number of administrative changes and hires in the last few weeks of the school year leading into the summer we also had 12 teachers retire and so that along with internal transfers there's been a lot of movement going on and principals are really excited about the the new people they're bringing on board we're about halfway through in the I believe the news Times reported that we had 21 openings it's actually down to I believe 18 at this point I have a couple of final interviews as well the remainder of the week so that that number will continue to continue to whittle down in terms of the munis update um it will we had a press release out and it was in the news times and I shared with the board that we converted to munis for accounts payable we have one last piece human resources and payroll training upcoming for the fall and we plan to finalize all immunise implementation by January 1 of the coming year 2018 I have to thank Ken for coming in new to us this past year and really coordinating the effort working with with John Reynolds has been unbelievable our accounting supervisor and Eric Conklin and our new technology director has been fantastic not only in the planning and troubleshooting but also in training people at the building the secretaries of the building I've talked to two of them directly and they told me things that couldn't have been smoother and actually lisa has consider self of eunice mama she it's really it's people are really excited and it's going well so what we're we're happy with that and then just a couple of things going on programmatically just to remind the board we've talked about the revision learning and mr.

Patrick Flynn who's been working with the administrators on leadership supervision and feedback professional development and our leadership advanced we had a two-day training the end of June and Patrick worked with our team not only on this continuing on the the Supervisory feedback training for the administrators on the first day but the second day we really got into data team training that's becoming all the more important with our strategic coherence plan goal of assessment literacy and the implementation of power school assessment and analytics modules that will be implemented for the coming year so we really didn't need to be on our game for that so our administrators are trained and ready to roll and work with their teams and a lot of focus will be K through 4 to begin and roll up as we go on in the years dr.

Cipolla our new special education director attended a three-day training at Yale last week at the Center for emotional intelligence and we learned about the seedlings ruler program we're essentially learning about how to manage your emotions and recognize your emotions not only for students but for adults really can be a culture changer in your district as I've reported before we've had the asset survey that has been supported by Brookfield cares and there's a lot of data there that tells us our kids have some struggles and we were trying to address that in addition my anecdotal data collected going around with the teachers the teachers from k12 a majority expressed concern about anxiety levels and other other emotional concerns that children are bringing with them to school and before they come to school so the teachers have really talked about their care for the kids and wanting to make sure they're ready to access curriculum and learning when they come to school so amanda with the training is really excited he's worked with a number of teachers already it sounds like a lot of teachers are on board and to kick off the school year they will get the adults trained first so T parents won't see right away a difference with the students students won't be learning some of the new ruler program and ruler tools but the adults will be learning and then a slow roll lot will begin over at whisk in year this year well we're going to train on August 21st I think we're going to do an overview for the remainder of the administrators to share with them and see where they're at and where this might fit with with their school culture program in addition to that dr.

mark Brackett who is essentially the founder of the Yale Center for emotional intelligence internationally known author he is actually kicking off our school year by being our guest speaker at convocation and we partner with Brookfield cares who is actually supporting providing resources to ensure that mr. Brackett could be with us so we're really excited about the beginning of the year and then the last piece is just mentioning that in terms of curriculum facilitation just want to extend again to the board that on I believe it's August 23rd and 24th 23rd and 24th dr. Murray Alcock who is going to be working with us on spearheading curriculum revision and development she will be with us and we invite the board to attend those training sessions don't be turned off by the fact that it's two days since you're not getting officially trained you can come whenever and if you don't have to camera worried but I would really encourage you know if you have any time at all to drop in and see what's going on because I think it's very eye-opening the the level of training that it takes to really develop curriculum people I'll get PhDs and curriculum development and yet school districts kind of put teachers in rooms and pay them the hourly some rate and expect them to develop curriculum and if you heard me say it the first years here we won't do that because we need to provide the training for the teachers to be able to develop a product that we feel is worthy of our teachers time and our students time so we've done substantial work with teachers during the spring of this year and this training that we're doing is for the administrators because if the administrators don't have the training and the background that the teachers who are actually doing the work have then we can have that coherence and that's that's what we're we're looking for and we can't have that the principals and the other supervisors really knowing in depth to the depth that we need them to know what they're looking at when teachers are actually implementing curriculum through instruction and so we've worked with dr.

Alcock and we really felt that two full days of training you know I don't to tell you how important the foundation is we have to lay a very strong foundation if we want this we want to have a strong program so please I'm kind of begging you actually to just come by for as long or as short as you can if you're gonna come for the whole day please let us know so that we can feed you because you'll have to stay awake that's about work and then and then thank you dr. Ruby and then the only other piece there is I wanted to remind the board that dr. Ruby had forwarded the school climate surveys for your version for your viewing and that's all I have right thank you very much thank you question tires that you have had and that you're anticipating and the interviews are there any positions that you're finding or difficult to fill or difficult to attract good question see see okay the center support position okay sensual Spanish position and right now the we're still we still SCBA oh yes yes the BCBA the fourth department chair is MBA so I'll be sharing some some more about that with the board okay yeah so so those right now are the the two that are difficult to find quality candidates and we're brainstorming you know in anticipation that we still coming up come up empty I mean dr.

Ceylon and her crew has been they've been interviewing people and it's just not working and we've made a commitment to it to the schools and to the taxpayers we're not just gonna hire somebody to fill a space because you're bringing somebody into your family and it's because it doesn't work that way so we're I think are you meeting with them tomorrow we have a meeting set up to talk with the two elementary principals to try to brainstorm you know though the what-ifs and you know the plan B and C and D but it's very difficult okay and also a big thank you to both your cares for helping us actually board members always invited but I've invited the profile cares folks to actually come to complication celebrate the kickoff of the school year was fantastic thank you all right that's a good news yeah a lot of good news a lot of good work and I'm really proud of the team and they've done great working very hard this month great progress and forward progress of that yeah I just want to add that it's you know we appreciate the fact that we were able to start the hiring at the interviewing a lot earlier I mean we'd have to go through what happens so you know start early and we're getting some really amazing new teachers and in this yield so it's really exciting great ok subcommittee reports because the Cecilia's subcommittee 5:16 and 6:12 just a national go through the 6:12 BNF and give it update because we're learning at our July meeting as well so we went through the financials through check registers on owned business we had the water project the water project is actually moving forward weekend when we're sending contracts out at this point and hopefully we'll get a good portion of that done during the summer if not we're looking into some temporary water services and if it extends it to the school here that is what move forward with a project is other than I can say the roof is moving along going to spin and you can please somewhere close to a week before school starts given that we have summer weather and rain that's always kind of you know and I see th but the TI expression right yeah I was trying to find the right words not in the words I don't use when it's you know we're get it done and if it needs to extend and then walks out with on weekends but other ripping all done at that point which is what prohibit students from being inside this building it right here smoothly there's notion of their portables when you have all architect reviewing some possibilities for us at this point and insight were giving them one day even that we have an interim director facilities where nobody in the current projects or unfold before we take on anything new at this point we heard about the McGinnis conversion are one of the big things that we took go through and in June had to do with how other boards and committees and people in town community support of Education communicate back we discussed that we would like a protocol that sort of filters everything if across on the board of our debts of the finance members should be going to their chair who's into our chair who carelessly response from our administration and then back we've had a lot of people over the last four years who will go directly to a business record leadership compelling or assistant supergirls and demand information it takes away their time during the day I've been doing what they need to do and we get multiple people asking the same questions so we thought following down from chair a chair would be the best way we don't know how or if other boards in town although a techniques have been simpler will encourage them to do so I think streamlining the communication absolve that's evolved and also controls the flow of information and in kind and respectful way which is what we expect mostly motivations again is the same as the off the table when I scope of work document but we're kind of taking a little bit of a backseat right now once you prepare us we're getting that some additional quotes h1c to experimental things that have been put on the back burner right now Shakespearean was a something that came up from the palette we got ticks when they've had at the power field or fields are under the most special parks at work they provide the maintenance some the magenta partially connected to address the same facilities directors probably won't as of late that we've received a number of resumes we're still in the process of collecting those and looking at them right now in the process is called ANOVA process that were evaluating we're not going our string just like you're when I watched a fella see that just for the sake of filling up will I make sure that we have the proper person in place so there's no floor we have follow-up on a game emailed me today for the specs on an activity with the other accounts was the other big question that we have and if you did maybe what if you ever steal that candy gave us a lot whistle now we're continuing this process or it's a continuation and process as well second we handled the big picture how many budget how we break again transition communis Student Activity and that's an improvement you know it's nobody needs to worry about its own in seven with the ends the accounts everybody stands at the amount of money that's in it is staggering but when you're dealing with every you know everything from third grade field trip to down to be a class of 2016 funds and every little sub organization that happens inside it really is speaking about that all right policy so we know between person we also had part of meeting this evening and discussion the narcan policy really very good discussion tonight as well as looking at the old wall administration of medication and the policies surrounding that of the school my dog in contact about a few parents soon University and narcan you should also be taking a look at up a pen policy for students that have food allergies and other kind of life-saving measures that you got from them you may have the vacanze in some instances so the good the overall discussion and overall work at our general medical administration policy that we have and after much discussion we're going to be consulting with our board attorney in regards to how best to implement what we're working together of American policy and the find a way to kind of implement that into the General Administration of medication which is stressful you know transparency purposes we also did take a look at the EpiPen policy and we found that only a couple years ago we updated that and there are specific requirements in to in regards to storage and there goes to administration and we're working kind of to do the same exact thing with an arcane policy possibly tacking on to the general administration of medication and to address some specific issues who want to address with narcan it's obviously a growing epidemic and we certainly want to address it in the unfortunate instance we may have to use it to possibly save a life and that's what we're saying I think I know in 21st meeting we discussed a little bit about the 9000 series and how we did that and a to go but there were some underlying policies we did not approved in fact they were in contradictory or they you know redundant so we're trying to clear that up and I'm hopeful at the next policy meeting we can address those issues and Steve I'd like just to add in talking about the medical administration that policy was reviewed and approved essentially updated back in 2015 so it's very recent recent legislation and so forth so that so the policy committee is on top of this and it's important for the public on our silver just a point of clarification the policy is not just EpiPens luolian reference that as um extreme all medications and encompasses everything from diabetes to new you know any type of food allergy so it is all policy any questions 20th of June which was actually the day prior to our last warning we spent majority the time discussing and talking about the teacher evaluation plan which you all heard about at the last board meeting so I'm not going to review that the other thing we did discuss was the makerspace curriculum at middle school mister cereth spent some time presenting it and i had spoken about this a few months ago actually regarding introducing this in the sixth grade curriculum about six weeks in the unified arts it will be a kind of mini capstone preparing the students for capstone in looking at the curriculum mr.
