All right, just a reminder, our mission, which all of you should know, is Continental School District, will provide a community environment in which all individuals are challenged to achieve excellence in academics, character, and life skills. Our vision is building for the future, learning, cooperating, and caring. And everything we do is keeping our mission and vision in mind. We are celebrating
003our A letter grade. It's official. Continental school is an A and this will be our um second year a rating. So congratulations all you PS [applause] [laughter] and all of our staff members and Mrs. will have more of a breakdown in her presentation in a little bit. Um we have our learning walks. I mentioned them at our last meeting that we try to do, we started doing four, then we do three, now we we're down to two to three learning walks a year, but we had an amazing and successful day of learning and collaborating. A huge thank you to all who participated. We had avid leaders and we had leader and me leaders coming in who are our reps who come help us ensure that we're implementing the program and giving us feedback. The greatest
004part of this is that we have our students who also um give feedback and do the learning once with us. So, it was a big day. We split up into four groups and we got into um almost every single classroom and they back to the students. >> So, are there any students here that participated in the learning walk? We had our um student leadership lighthouse team students participate and we'll be inviting other students for the second learning walk as well. fall festival and Halloween celebrations. I know it was great to see um everybody um that attended the carnival and our costumes. So, there's some of our um costumes and like I mentioned last month, you might see some Care Bears around. So, our um district wing and office were Care Bears that day. So, we
005had a fun day. And then we had Miss Lupita from the cafeteria. She was Joy from Elemental. So, there you see Joy and the Sunshine Care Bear. watching over kids the other mutos and day of the dead and two back procession. So we celebrated the other muertos here at school for the first time. We're really trying to tap into different cultural events as the year goes on and celebrate different cultures. Um also Mrs. us um attended the two back procession for the most. So she represented continental school and we had Miss Ala there and who else are Mrs. and then Mrs. My daughter was an alumni. It was really cool because there were quite a few alumni students that were also in the procession that had signed up to walk in the procession. They're sophomores
006and juniors now. They were [screaming] really excited. They were right with us. Very nice. So, next year we're gonna get the word out again and participate. I never personally participated. So, put it on November 17. >> Okay. Gifted field trips. We want to thank Grant and Mrs. Romanelli for submitting for the grant funds to allow our students these field trip opportunities. our third graders went to the zoo and they were able to work with the zoologologist and behind the scenes and they um particularly in the marine biology areas. So the kids were very engaged and had a great time. Our fourth and fifth graders went to the Bay um planetarium and tomorrow our middle school students will be going to the UV again. ACLA's conference was um Sunday and Monday so I attended along with
007Mr. Ferguson, Miss Fo and M um and just a little feedback. It was a lot of different presentations and one of the ones that I went to was meeting with the brain in mind and talking about that balance between being in the task mode and in being in um the default mode. And when you're in the default mode is when you're really doing your creative work and thinking and talking about um different strategies that'll be more effective than just crossing things off a list. So um that was very interesting. And then um talking about the uh core principles of culturizing your school of having good culture and we really work um really hard to uh work on the climate and the culture of our school and our students and building that trust and for students
008to build student agency and know that they have a lot of adults that are around them supporting them. And one quote that was there was vision without execution is hallucination. So, we really work hard to put our vision into action with our goals and with the things that we're doing for school improvement. So, I want to um also just commend our team because a lot of this was just um reiterating and reminding us of the importance of staying in the course. Um I also today was the first day of a um impact conference by Cubby um that I attended and it was a webinar and it's talking about taking control of your future, disrupt everything and win and just talking about why I say our job is to remove move the big rocks so teachers
009can teach um so students can learn and it was emphasizing that take care of your people and your people will take care of you and I really feel that we've worked really hard to foster that um to cover for each other so that we can all um shine and be the best that we can be. And mark your calendars for the sweetheart gayla is February 7th. Just a reminder um teachers will be sending out information for grade level baskets of donations that we will use to auction off at the Sweetheart game. We're looking for sponsors. So, um, if you know of any businesses or any local [screaming] sponsor at the level, please reach out to us and, um, we just look forward to another great event. Our jazz band plays, our orchestra plays, and it's
010at the Canoa, historic Canoa Ranch Sensory Garden. We're still collecting any and all plastic carts of all colors and sizes. So, please drop them to the office or send them with your with your children. And thank you. And as a reminder, the future's not ready yet. So, we will make it a good one. And we're going to keep working hard um with you so that we can optimize the experience of school for our students here at schools. Thank you. >> And with that, we'll have our principal report by Mrs. Good evening everybody. It's good to see you here. We're excited to be part of the month and honor all of you right after this. So this is I just wanted to go over our data with you, our benchmark data, our district data, which we
011test all our kindergarters through eighth graders for math, um, reading, language usage, and science. But right now, I'm going to be going over the core content, which is math, reading, and language usage. Language usage is writing and conventions like errors and sentences and such. So this is through a national um um percentiles where we fall. And we're really happy because about two three years ago, we were in the 30s and the 40s for percentile conceration. [cough] So to be starting a new school year where the students are learning new standards and they're picking up where they left off to already be at the 60th percentile almost the mid-50s if not mid50s and above is really huge for us. So the majority of our students are falling into that partially to the proficient, highly proficient. And
012about right here, these are students on the cus of proficiency if they're not already in our proficiency, meaning grade level. And these the orange and the red are the ones that we're working on. The oranges are partially proficient when they're on the bubble, the cusp of proficiency. And these are our minimally proficient students. Whereas before it used to be a little bit backwards. Most of it would be more of our reds would be up to here and so forth and we would have a little bit of blues. So those are our students who are exceeding blues. So we're really proud of them in math. So that shows that our curriculum, our planning, our preparation, going back and doing interventions, all of the things we have put in place are starting to work. And for reading,
013you'll see the same thing. kindergarten to start the year as our kindergarteners. And this is with them. Many of them have not. They're used to tablets or touchscreen. This is them using Google mouse to navigate through benchmark test. So that's really good for 58 percentile 58 percentile of our students are meeting the standards to start the school year and so on. For first grade, 57 second. This is this is huge for reading because if we can't impact that change in reading, our students will start to suffer in math, language usage, and all of the other content subject areas that they're in. So to see our students right here, 68, 58, 62nd, sixth grade, we had a dip at 49 percentile, so almost the 50th. So we have to sometimes we have that slide in sixth
014grade where we have to go back and talk to our students about let's take those tests seriously because we don't want to just keep looking through 61st% sound 58 in reading for eighth grade. So that's a good start for us this school year. >> Language usage again that is them doing conventions like looking at sentences, seeing the proper punctuation, how they should keep fixing them, looking at paragraphs and that starts in second grade where they start to take this test and again we're doing pretty good. So 50th percentile in second grade, 73rd percentile in third grade and that's how we move on with reading grade for the state. Our students get tested in reading and have to pass the reading tests for the state testing in the spring and third grade in order to move
015on to fourth grade. 65th percentile for fourth, 67th and fifth, 70th and sixth and um 69th and 7th and 60th and eighth. So again, we're really proud of, you know, the red is shrinking and then we're giving those students interventions as well as our oranges and our yellows, greens and blues are growing. And we really like to see those look at that the big greens and the big blue bands are really important for us. But really studying where the other bands are at so we can continue to make teaching and learning unique to each student's needs. And that's what we're really trying to do here to meet every student where they're at, whether they're getting pull out interventions, pushing interventions, enrichments because they're excelling or exceeding. So that's where we're at for our fall district
016benchmark. We will be taking our next district benchmark at the towards the end of January. >> And then when you looked at those orange, some of the yellows, oranges, and reds, we have what's called NTSS. So I want all of you to know this. I want all of you to spread the word um to our community. And we'll continue to talk about this in our community in our polls weekly. But this is a system we have here at Continental so that if students if family members meet with teachers, if you know parents have concerns academically for their child, behaviorally, social emotionally, we have an MTSS, it's called multi-tered system of support. So we have an MTSS meeting and part of that team is myself. We have Mrs. Suadis, the director of SP there. We have
017Mr. director services, our school counselor, we have the teacher who's recommending the student um in MTSS, we have um our math coach, Mrs. Ple, our reading coach, Michelle Manali, and our academic behavior support, Mrs. Griffin and Bria, who all come to this meeting at the meeting of the Michael. A teacher will do a request for support or referral if they're worried about their student. and we've come together and come up with either academic interventions that they're going to try or behavioral interventions. For some students, it might be the behaviors that are impacting the academics. So, we look at both types of interventions. We employ those interventions for a few weeks, and if they're working, great. Something worked. If they're not, we come back together. We keep the parents in the loop and we try some
018new interventions. If those don't work, we come back again after a few weeks and as a team we decide if we may need to move on for an evaluation, make a recommendation to the special education department because there might need to be more evaluation done on the student or students. So, um this is what we've been doing and just the first two months we did 82 we had 82 referrals and we had 82 MTSS meetings and when we got the benchmark data that I just showed you, we went together as teams. every grade level met, but we also talked about those students that are in the red, that are in the orange, and the yellow. We talked how long they've been in those areas and if they've been MTSS yet. If they hadn't been, we
019make sure that we're going to be MTSSing them. So, when I say that, we're trying to meet every student where they're where they're falling. We don't want anyone to fall between the cracks. So, if you are feeling sometimes we have students that are really quiet and you as a parent might feel like, you know, they never get in trouble, but I am worried about them academically, please don't hesitate to reach out because sometimes they might be doing, you know, what they can to get by in class, but they might need us to have an MTSS meeting to give some more supports and interventions for them to get them going again and recharging. So, that's what we've been doing, what we have been doing, and that is how we use the data. So, I've never been
020someone who has I'm in support of tests if we're actually doing something with them, not just testing and testing kids just to test. So, these benchmark tests are really important and your support when we have them just, you know, pumping up your kids and saying, you know, do your very best, try to show what you know, that really helps because it gives us a good indicator of where they're at, if they're progressing or if they're regressing. And we also take, you know, we also know that tests aren't for everyone. So, we also take into consideration how their work is in class and their teacher safe work. They have binders in there. So, I just wanted to take the time to let you know the work we've been doing this first quarter and heading into second
021quarter. Uh, and like I mentioned, we did have we call them grade level data dig meetings. So, every grade level has gone into the data room where we have where our students are at. It's covered. It's confidential, but they then write what their plans are, how are they going to move so many students throughout the year, and who are the students that are on the cusp of moving from one band to the next, and um how are they going to also be serving how are we going to support the teachers too to serve the students that are proficient or highly proficient as well? >> And like Mrs. Jo said we are in a we the students hard work, your hard work with all the things you do at home supporting them with homework, with essays,
022with projects, all of the things and the work of the teachers and the work of the site staff here has [clears throat] shown so much growth with our students that it placed our students and our school again at an A letter grade for the state. So, we're really proud of that. And with an A letter grade from the state, we are able to to meet certain parameters to apply for an A+ walkthrough or an A+ school of excellence through Arizona Education Foundation, which is different than the Arizona Department of Education. But with that aid, we did apply for it and we passed the application portion and they're very excited to come and do a walkthrough of our school and our campus to see the culture, the climate, the community, the students, the learning that's taking
023place. And that will be January 14th and 15th. They will be here for one full day. It's a team of people through Arizona Education Foundation, their principles who in the past may have had A+ schools. Um they have it starts with a student le tour of our campus. We have we cannot be there. The students lead and guide and give them a tour. They go around and do classroom visits. They give little tokens for students throughout the day. Um at the end of day one they have all staff meeting not with myself in the meeting or Mr. Lean. Um and then day two they're here for half a day. They call all the students who got those little coins. They meet we do a all call. They meet with those students for about 15 minutes,
024ask them questions about the school, you know, strengths, weaknesses, what they love about their school. Um, then they have a parent community member meeting, a 30-minute meeting with parents and community members to ask the same type of questions. They have a classified staff [clears throat] meeting with their classified staff, and they end the day with having a meeting with myself and Mr. Lean. and that they will let us know if we will be given the A+ School of Distinction. And we want to thank you for that because going through the history of this campus, I don't know if you know, but the when you're driving up here, the what is it called? The University of Arizona where Continental used to be like [clears throat] the grower, it had like the big jungle gym outside that
025used to be Continental Elementary School. So we have the historic society or a group of people who are trying to make continental also a historic marker. We found so much history of this school since all the way dating back to the 1930s that we could find pictures and it's the A+ for us is the community that has been built here for years and years and years to honor those who laid the foundations and those of you who are continuing to build and grow this community. So, we thank you for that and we're honored to work and serve all of you here and your beautiful amazing kids and we'll keep you posted on this. So, thank you for support. [applause] >> Well, thank you very much. Um, I'm going to just >> I would like to
026get a few donations [laughter] this past month. Um, really quick, a group called the random acts of kindness group. Isn't that a cool name? >> Um, >> Santa and a Madera church all donated various things from new wheels to the golf cart to the nurse's office and dollars for the bus. So, with that, I would like to uh welcome Justin from the Vale School District to come up and uh I won't give it away. >> Good evening everyone. Am I going before cult recognitions? And if so, there's a lot of pressure right now, so I'll make this quick. Um I go to a lot of board meetings and the energy in here is electric. So, thank you for having me. I'm I'm Justin Chbro. I'm with the Veil School District right up the road from
027here. Um, we have been partners for a number of years now in a capacity and I just want to come and personally thank um the board members uh and superintendent for for that partnership. If you don't know our our our story, uh again, Bale School District, southeast side of Tucson, early 2000s, about 20 years ago, we were actually one [clears throat] of the lowest performing school districts in southern Arizona. We just had arrows going all different directions, no frameworks, no common language. We brought our leaders together, teachers together, just said, how can we get better? How can we continue to serve kids better and just do things better? And we started implementing frameworks like what are the most important standards that teachers should teach? What are some planning documents teachers can use? What are calendars
028they can follow? What are formatives or tests they can use? What are some interventions they can do? And we got on a really good uh trajectory with some of these frameworks in our district. So much so that we went from the lowest performing school district um to the number one ranked school district uh in 2012. When 29, excuse me, 2009, we kind of packaged this thing and started putting it online and we called it Beyond Textbooks. It has nothing to do with textbooks. It's just frameworks and systems to help teachers improve their craft in the classroom. Well, in 200 um so that was 2008, excuse me, 2009, the Benson School District just right down the road from us in Coochis County said, "Hey, we'd love to be a partner. Can we how can we come
029on board?" And it was almost accidental that they were our very first partner in this Beyond Textbooks partnership in 2009. And in 2010, um the word started getting out. Um, other districts said, "Hey, we would love some systems to help improve education and teaching and what does that look like in the classroom?" And I just want to uh say thank you to uh Superintendent Rico, governing board members, community just for being supportive of our partnership. I'm not your average vendor, if you will. Beyond Textbooks is just a department within the Veil School District right up the road. And we have been partners now officially for 15 years. 15 years is a long time. You're one of our longest standing partners. So, I just wanted to come with a nice little plaque. Maybe I can just
030do a quick picture real quick. Sorry to interrupt the Colt uh celebrations. I'm excited for that. I just want to say thank you for partnership. I love the A rating. Congratulations. That is coming from a district that we strive for high achievement. That is hard to do. So, I just wanted to come personally face to face and just say thank you for the partnership. It's really been meaningful. So, thank you. I APPRECIATE [applause] And I like to say that Beyond Textbooks has been amazing with creating our standards calendars for our teachers. Justin always answers us super fast in the team and we really thank you for helping us over the years. And what we do with our core curriculum is again when we look at Bale's framework that we follow and we plug in our
031standards and we make recommendations for changes and again they're always very supportive and helpful and Bale graciously invited me my first year as a principal and let me do a walk through at Sycamore when they did a A+ walk through and I learned a lot. So, I want to thank you for, you know, always being so inviting to our school community a lot to us. >> We're rooting for >> you together support. Means a lot. >> Thank you. Our members, thank you. >> Thank you. Now, [applause] >> all right. Cult of the month. So, if you are here and you haven't gone back to the table yet to get your cult of the month certificate, please make sure you get it. If you already got it, if you could start lining up here, we're going
032to line you up preschool all the way to middle school. And parents, please feel free to come up, take a video, take pictures, and if you'd like to go, the students will get t-shirts right after you want to meet them [clears throat] at that back table, help them get their size shirt. >> [clears throat] >> All right. And you'll bring up your cult of the month certificate because we're going to be reading through that. And right at the end of the month, we'll be honoring our Bolton Horseshoe recipient right after. So, we ask you all for that. So students, I'm gonna ask you to just say your first name. Okay. What's your first name? Michael. And then you will walk over with Mrs. right there. Okay. And then I'll read you through your quotes of
033the month. Congratulations to Michael, our preschool student of the month. Michael is a wonderful example of being kind, responsible, and safe every day.

[applause] All of the in truly is attributed to Mrs. P's hard work. We hired her as a math coach when we adopted our new rebuilt math program and she went through the training and she is a self-taught coach because in larger districts usually have curriculum coaches who can meet together learn from each other practice and Miss Cole on her own took the initiative to sign up for various coaching webinars.
