002to community non-agenda items is there anyone president who would like to speak on any item that is not on the agenda or any other topic hearing none I believe we have visitors and perfect we have two showcase presentations the high school is going to lead us off and they're going to Showcase Touch of Class and their mtss process yeah so first of all we have our Touch of Class group here with us they have their touch class showcase tomorrow night and Saturday night and it is the theme is a history of jchs so going through all the years uh I asked if I could sing with them tonight uh they turned me down but Mr Hartwell is actually a Toc alumni so they invite him to sing them so but if we want to step
003to the fight just now who would we would like to thank you so very much for um allowing us to come this evening we're so excited to be able to be here as Mr Roller said tomorrow night and Saturday night we do have our annual um showcase and we are doing the history of Jennings County um high school so it goes from 1968 through current um and when I was coming about this everybody's like oh it's a decade show I said no it's more than a decade show um the kids actually broke off into groups um and they have researched Each decade um they've dug into um National History they've dug through the yearbooks I think Mary Hendricks cries every time she sees my phone number pop up because she knows I'm like hey we
004need come down and borrow some yearbooks again um but and then they took all of that they wrote scripts we have a student technical director that has been working to learn how to actually do sound production and she has actually been accepted at IU into that program um and so she recorded the kids doing the scripts and everything and then we're very blessed to have some community members who have donated their time and talents into making um multimedia presentations with the kids um with all the information that they have gathered so that's just kind of one of the highlights we've we've done many many things this year uh in the music department we had Oklahoma just a few weeks ago and before that play even close I already bought the rights for Mamma Mia so
005we hope to see you all next February as we will be doing Mamma Mia [Laughter] so we were really excited to be able that's a show that we've never done the height excited to be able to um but we've you know we're looking to grow the department and get out into the community so that we have people who know what what's going on in Jennings County and all the great things um so tonight we are going to sing Fire and Rain um which was originally recorded by James Taylor uh it is one of our songs from our showcase um so [Music] laughs [Music] just yesterday morning and let me know you were gone [Music] to you I woke up this morning and I brought down this song I just can't remember who to send it
006to I've seen fire and I've Seen Rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end less seem all the times when I could not find a friend but I always thought that I see you again [Music] my body's aching and my time is at hand and I won't make it any other way I See Fire and Ice I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend but I always thought that I see you again [Music] foreign [Music] I See Fire and Ice I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end [Applause] I've seen lonely times but I could not find a friend but I always thought that I'd see you again [Music] I've seen sunny days that I thought would
007never end I've seen lovely times when I could not find a friend but I always thought that I'd see you again but I always thought that I'd see you again but I always thought that I'd see you again [Music] [Applause] great job guys everything like that well if you thought that was good it's even better no pressure guys uh no we wanted to come tonight also and talk about our NTS program which honestly a joke but as amazing as the talent that you just was is how amazing this program has been and the effect it's had on kids last summer we were able to convince Pamela Grove to come over as our mtss coordinator from Scipio Elementary it took a lot of convincing to get her to take the jump to the high school as
008she hit the ground running and has been an amazing partner to work with um along with her being the coordinator we have Josh Land as a remediation teacher in there and TJ Newton is a remediation teacher unfortunately TJ cannot be here tonight he is traveling the county delivering mulch for the football team um so he's all over the place but I just want to say before these guys come up and also Tevin Schultz is with us today we'll talk about our PBIS initiative started this was a missing piece for our high school we had a lot of areas where we had supports but to truly pull together all the supports we've had and and have somebody that could coordinate that and dial it down to what kids needed has been an absolutely amazing experience and
009I can't say enough about what Pam and Josh and TJ have done in that room uh directly what the impact has been so I will turn it over to Pam and Josh and Tevin so thank you guys thank you all right my name is Josh Lynn I'm a I was a 15-year social studies teacher before I moved into this spot and uh what we have created is it's called an mtss program but I'm not sure it's exactly the same way that it works at our elementary school so mtss stands for a multi-tiered system of supports it's a way to basically give give all students regardless of their academic ability the resources and the tools and the the teaching support that they need they need successful and so myself Miss lovegrove and Mr Newton the first
010thing we started the year off and this is a brand new program we had no blueprint for what to do we identified kids that had struggled academically in the past and we really struck kind of went with our core classes but with math and in English and so uh the list was huge uh we had we had tons of kids and we have eight different period periods at High School we were trying to you know figure out how we could help these kids in algebra one and these kids in and so we have put together a a system where we can we've identified these kids and we tracked their grades we track their missing assignments uh and we design specific small group and individual interventions that help those students succeed and so we have a
011room at the high school it's room 206 we call it the panther lab and that is where this remediation effort takes place so the panther lab the majority of the kids that started coming there were pulled by us and they were kids that we had identified as you know failed the class last year or had some sort of other issue we pulled them in during their study hall or during part of the class they were struggling in um but it has grown into something where a lot of these students instead of us having to go pull them out of class and force them to come it's a place where they want to come and so those are the options you know a teacher can send a kid at any time down there we requests to
012come to get this this extra help and so go ahead and go to the next slide there it's just kind of how MTS is supposed to work there's kind of three tiers to it the bottom tier the core instruction that's what takes place in in the normal classroom what are teachers doing to differentiate their lessons lessons so that that students can get the help that they need obviously that doesn't always work for everybody tier two and tier three these are the kids that we can Target these kids that really struggle in in that traditional environment maybe a kid just has too many distractions or they don't comprehend the material they they need that small group one-on-one intervention and so that's just kind of the layout uh go ahead to the next one I'm going to
013let Pam here talk about our numbers how many kids have visited the panther lab and we'll kind of get into we have had over 2 500 visits in the panther lab so far this year so that speaks well Mr land and Mr Newton and these kids they'll come to just for academic stuff sometimes they come in because they just need a pep talk they need they just had a bad morning or something like that and so they can come in they have a moment to kind of um get re resettled and um their day turns out a little full different than what it would have if they hadn't had that opportunity to come in and so we're seeing you know some great success with these kiddos Define [Music] um our first semester we saw um
014186 fewer F's with our student body dimlet we had last year and that's 186 more kids that got a credit uh yes than compared to the last semester uh 102 few ER an impact on these kiddos and one thing I want to reiterate there to the board you'll also notice the days went down and what I what I reiterate that is rigor has went up our teachers are expecting more and rigorous went up as we've kind of recovered from covet and brought back that rigor but our D's and F's have gone down so that's something that I'm as proud of right there as anything is that we've helped these kids accomplish all right so you know as we move forward I did this year has been a huge learning experience for us the first nine
015weeks kind chaotic logistically trying to figure out how to manage so many kids uh some things that we we look to do moving forward that we're kind of in the process of getting started now and hope to implement next year more small group in class interventions a lot of our interventions a lot of the way that we help kids is typically class we want to find ways where we can Target a group of kids in the class so they're they're not losing that that classroom time in front of their their General Ed teacher that um that's kind of what we're gearing towards how can we we better group together a group of students in algebra and help them all at once in a classroom or in English or in ICP whatever second how can we
016work closely with teachers to develop better instructional strategies so you know when we see all these kids that come in that are struggling that you know these kids are really having trouble uh adding and subtracting negative numbers how can we relay that back to teachers so that we are better knows in the classroom how can we help teachers deal with some of the behavioral issues that we see classroom management type of stuff so develop that net ters how can we help them help themselves in the classroom make their jobs easier one of the things that we have struggled with a little bit of some of the higher level math and science classes that uh you know if a kid comes in with calculus help they're going to have to wait until Miss Buchanan gets there
017so um myself I've gotten a lot more comfortable with the math skills this year is a lot of stuff that I forgot but I think that as as we go on we're going to get more comfortable and be able to help more kids so those you know I I think one year under our belts we'll do better for those kids next year and I want to give a lot of credit for these guys these guys have actually gone in and joined Google classrooms for Math teachers from science teachers they're watching the instruction videos to re-teach themselves so they're ready to go help when those kids come in so they're I mean again 15 years of social studies he's not doing social studies every day he's doing math science English and Josh and TJ both and
018Pam included have really dove in to to learn the skills needed to support these kids a couple other things or really just one other thing the big thing that we've found this year is it's there's some kids that it's just hard to reach at times okay we typically try to help kids during their study hall we have an abundance of kids that go to Versailles for our career center and we find that a lot of those students also struggle in some of those core classes um and so how can we find the time when they're only at the high school for four periods every two days to get them some of that extra help and so we've got some plans for that we're bringing a lot of those career centered things that are in the
019process of coming back to the high school I think that's only going to help kids in the in these core academic areas so our ultimate goal is no less Perfection is hard to obtain but I think we're moving forward I've really this has been a huge a huge year for me just to need to change I love what I do the final thing I have here I recorded some of our regulars that come in kids that we see and I asked them one question how is the Panther lab helped you be more successful at school this year and so I think they better speak to how this has been beneficial than I could so I'd like to give you a chance to listen to what they Katie how's the panther I've helped you be more
020successful in school this year uh yes um when I go to the panther lab it really helps me because there's a lot of hand on hand help um I get personal interactions with people that could help me out and I think I think anything else um [Laughter] Austin how's the panther live helped you do well at school this year plaster was Wales thank you Colin how's the painter I've helped you to better School District it's a living Kaylee has a panther lab helped you guys do well matters um they also help us stay organized [Music] anything else all right thank you all right well look uh Tevin talk next about our PBIS all right so one of the new things that we are bringing to next year we have another acronym we know in education
021we have tons and tons of them um so PBIS it is due to us but it's not so how we see it as a group is a way for us to be proactive versus reactive I'll talk more about that so how PBIS works all of the kids have a solid layer of foundation that's left in the same oldings and on the buses they know they know expected of them right when they come in the building we have we'll have rules in Matrix we'll have rules and guidelines display throughout the building and classrooms that'll be more like a matrix that we've created and also whenever kiddos one of the nice things is when kiddos are following the rules and expectations where I think frequently those kids kind of get under the radar even though we know
022they're doing the great things that they are maybe they get missed so this is one thing that will help us Target them more I told Mary Lynn I was going to pick on her before this so we'll just say Mary Lynn's a struggling student in my room look with the behavioral issue so Mary Lynn comes into my room she's not prepared she knows though she needs to get started on her Bell work get her binder out and get prepared to be ready to go he's not prepared maybe I give her one negative thing and but I'm coming back with five statements that kind of the role that we have learned in our udl trainings is there's always five positive encouragements that are coming to maybe one area of concern that we need to focus next
023slide frequently in education we use this picture and I think it really works for every thing we do every initiative but again I said PBIS is all about leveling the the playing field for kids regardless of their abilities or disabilities and that's what this is doing they know the expectations they know the consequences of what's going to happen um frequently we hear well PBIS is just about being nice okay maybe a little bit but it's also looking at what is expected of the next slide um as Mr Lee had talked about with the tier system for mtss we have a similar thing for PBIS that we've been learning about tier one is the whole school population where they are all learning about the expectations the rules that are provided for them tier two is maybe
024those individual groups that might need some assistance in tier three high-risk kiddos that maybe they need a little more one-on-one um we've actually already started implementing this this year with some of our high-risk kids just to kind of test it out and get some some feedback from them that like what could we maybe change for next year for student s um Mrs lovegrove is actually going to talk about some of the high-risk kiddos that we've worked with um I have a just an example of student a and student B these are actual students that we we do work with on a daily basis student a whenever we was looking at at the beginning of the year had four failing grades an average of 10 missing assignments a week um 12 discipline reports multiple infractions in
025the classroom rude disrespect work those kinds of things this kiddo when he first started coming to school would not smile at you would not rarely speak to you if you greeted this person would not would not acknowledge you I was just in a bad mood like constantly um so we sat down created a plan with with the kid as well and found some incentives maybe that they would work for and what would what could we do to help and change things so we do a daily check-in and work sessions in the panther lab in the hub or with me um we've switched how we address with positive phrasing statements so um instead of don't do we need this from you those kinds of things he has work sessions in the panther lab specifically just and
026our celebrations for this kiddo um there we have fun feeling great proud of presence of for this his algebra greatest government 27 to a 65 English 52 to 86 he finished a research paper verbally early like the day before I'm excited now weekly we have a three missing assignments a week so sit late but we're getting them there um or reduce now he will look at you he smiles he greets he says good morning he has told a few jokes and to get work done he'll come in and tell us that at times not all the time because success is a journey not a destination he'll come in sometimes to tell us what he means he made primarily based on Behavior hey great well grades last year weren't very good but it's kind of holding
027their own this year and um just rude and disrespect blurred out whatever came in her head and so we let's let's see what we can do so again we met devised a planned and all of that kind of stuff and we're down to one discipline report and she has two A's Four B's from the C and it's much easier to get along with in the classroom and just just in general in the in the building so those are our top success stories there and we're pretty proud of our kiddos for me okay so at the high school as part of our plan with the ictq and other acronym um for our udl training is we have to have some type of building implementation team or the bits our bits are comprised are comprised of us
028three Mrs Kent and as well as several other teachers throughout our building and we sit down and we discuss what things do we want to see we look at the data and we've really been Guided by one question plus some other pieces of information um but how can we use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior for our kiddos to consistently have that coming from them are they going to have bad days yes but how do we have that majority um and one other thing that as we were working with our bids is we we thought both secondary levels should have some type of alignment and we we started that connection with the middle school and I'll explain more of that here in just a second but having a similar plan along the way yeah there's
029some differences between um so PBIS is all data driven um so it is factual information this is what's happening we looked at what are some of the areas of concern one was excessive tardies um other areas throughout the building and then specifically passing periods that things might occur when most of our discipline happens um so like I said we're working with jcms to kind of have that consistent or congruency across the board when our kids come up as freshmen they already have been introduced to what we know as the Panther Way next slide so working with jcms we have really adopted the same method the do right say right act right looking at you know focusing on kiddos being responsible being respectful and being safe if you look at this I know it's kind of
030hard to see from where you're at but every statement or every bullet point is written in a very neutral manner it's not don't do this don't do that do this instead it's just very calm and Collective the kids will see this it will be a visual for them in the classroom as well as throughout the hallways they will know what's expected already been talking about how are we going to get this in so at the beginning of the year that's our plan to hit it right from the ground running I think that's if you can go to the next slide and then also what goes along with PBIS is the token economy system we are really research ings that are out there for our kids so we can keep track of the behaviors that are
031occurring or the positive behaviors that are occurring as well as using that data to guide us moving forward but overall our plan is to put into our PBIS plane into action in the fall so we will start from the ground running in August any questions last thing I'll say as they close is I just can't thank the group enough for the work they've done and one thing I will say about Pam you can see why she's so vital to us she is one that will bust in my office but it's never for a negative the exact story she just cut told she busted in my office the other day and said he turned it in early and I'm like what the research paper so it's amazing and I also want to thank Taryn Taryn has
032worked very very closely with these guys and pushing these initial and getting things going and without this group never have gotten to the level it has and it's it's a vital thing and it's extremely exciting for our kids so thank you [Applause] thank you for having Sand Creek here tonight thank you uh high school that was amazing boys this thing would get to look forward years to hide lots of great we're excited to um just showcase what makes Sand Creek great and that's our kids we love our kids we we presentations tonight we're going to start with our student council Council um Owen Owen Daly in Easton wow come on up and they're t or well their teacher but they're a sponsor for student council here at Sand Creek Samantha Lau is here tonight as
033well they're going to share what they've been doing this year we're excited uh with coven student council kind of slowed down for a while and this group has really taken care of it from the very beginning I think they'll they'll share like where it all started and the fun things that they've been doing and great things that they're doing for our school and moving forward the plans that they have so I'm going to let Owen and Easton take it away so yeah my name's Owen and um I'm the president of student council I'm the vice president I'm sure um and we're just going to tell you a little bit about what we've done this year and what we're looking to do we have many requirements to be in student council good work ethic peer relationships
034good um this year we got the kick start um as a student council with our homecoming parade it was really enjoyable and fun um and it really brought us together as a whole and something that we could all just enjoy doing and spending time together our leadership opportunities we have done the Veterans Day program where we have passed out papers that gave information about the program they've done multiple fundraisers and we're doing third grade buddies which is helping them get better we were doing a Spring Carnival and we're gonna make balloon animals for and on Awards day we're going to pass out programs um this year we got to donate food to Wayside Inn um so we took we told we set up fires and stuff throughout our building um and we did a competition
035between our neighborhoods our pods the gold pot ended up winding which consisted over to me it's our second grade classroom so our modern yeah yeah um and we donated all that food to Wayside and also as a sixth grade we made hot chocolate stands and opened up our hot chocolate stand to the school and they got to come in and buy a home so donated that money Valentine's Day posters sold Smencils and suckers for each 50 cents and then a soda that was a doll on Friday before Valentine's Day we saw it label and we put together eggs we put some different candy and treats and toy and twin then we sold them for 50 cents um mostly funded from Decatur mold um and the winner so we took everybody's name who bought an egg
036and put it in a drawing and the winner got like like animal thing um and and it was really fun to do run the stands and collect the money that would be no we'll be going to Majestic care to plant flowers and whole weeds we'll visit residents and agree with them so I'm excited to see the years to come with student council in Middle School do you have anything else to say do I have any questions did you make the presentation um no our wonderful teachers did [Applause] a wonderful job [Applause] they're really ambassadors in our younger kids really look council members and I hope we look forward now we finally get to prison boys come on up two of our fifth graders okay we have Ethan Osorio and Trayvon Prince and they are going
037to present an awesome stem project that they did and they just blew it out of the water we're just so very proud of them we Mrs Layton do you want to add anything you should probably ask more about this this is like they're teachers here tonight as well who is amazing at implementing stem in her classroom stem is really fun to teach just because it is a differentiate and meet everyone's needs and we started with the eia kits that were purchased by the corporation and the eie kids are fabulous they come with all the supplies but the truth of the matter is everyone ends up with kind of the same project so there's always that group of kids we heard from the high school the kids need a little extra help but we always have
038that group of kids that hold you to your toes right that you they make sure that you push them and that you come up with something a little extra special for them so that you challenge them and Ethan and Draven are most definitely two of those kids so they actually for their prosthetic project um were given a patient and the patient's needs and they had to purchase their supplies create a budget stay within budget and so what they did was just really cool and unique and it stood out from the other groups which I loved so they're really nervous but they're amazing kids they're going to be the leaders of this community you'll know it when you see them so they things like this are going to be necessary part of the leadership leadership and
039this is just one example of some of their projects like I walk through stay and how did you get how do you think does he had to like show and I was like that's amazing you know yeah there's regular ones that I'm like all the all the time regular times and I'm like yeah it's amazing yeah it really is so step up just a little bit if you could could you please put a presentation yeah oh maybe not just look at them and Nod when you're ready for them to switch how's that okay okay um Jenkins prosthesis by Ethan Osorio and traven Prince this was an image of our prosthetic our science class had to build build a prosthetic for a patient to want to meet the two of us chose a patient named Jacob
040Aiken he is nine years old and in the third grade he was born on December 28 2013. his left leg was missing from the knee down Jacob needed his prosthesis to be 24 inches long Jacob really likes playing golf so he wanted it to be black and silver with a golf theme our main goal was to make a prosthetic so Jacob could plinkle because that's what her patient wanted information about Jacob said that he didn't have a knee so we made me to rotate this white piece of rope is there so the knee could function and move easily without falling off the info card also said that his leg needed to be 24 inches in length our prosthetic is 23 and a half inches long Jacob wanted it to be black and silver with a
041golf theme so we made it got the silver cup and black Golf Club there is a stick to his nub Willis part we didn't know that you can actually attach Prosthetics like this so it would be a whole stick if we knew this information here are a couple of pictures that have been taken from both sides of the ankle these are the movements the ankles should be able to Jacob likes golf so if you want [Laughter] important making we never saw it [Laughter] he honestly just excited to be perfect so we can get amazing grace in which we did we did turns out we did [Applause] do you mind walking it around so we can see excellent job Gentlemen let's go ahead and walk that way walk around the big table yeah and then we'll
042say whether it's in their classroom or within the stem lab this great level and several of our grade levels have really taken off with the stem in the in their classrooms this year and we love I love being invited in I know Mr Thurston does too they invite us in a lot to see what's going on and we always have a good time okay very nice guy give me your hand congratulations congratulations hey Josh before I forget it great job on your other job thank you for the kids great great thank you know knowing these two guys from Sand Creek I love it because it's just perfect that they would say we did too well so now we end up having them that's just perfectly that an experience that they are raised in their classroom
043and I was like [Laughter] exactly who it was he knows I know thank you so much we're just so had this opportunity to highlight some of our students and what they're doing [Applause] well how do you follow that um sorry I know I know let's just go home I do have an inform for you um handbooks you should have received handbooks um this is just a reminder any items that we are deleting in the handbooks will be in red font and a strike through to them if it's in yellow it's been something that's added and you're going to find a decent amount of yellow in the Middle School handbook just because we're trying to to make sure that they match high school so it was some areas where high school already had their approved changes
044you're going to see those changes in Middle School handbooks now and so this is just an inform and we'll bring it back I think the next time Chris do you have a presentation yes so this for a lot of you this presentation is going to look familiar because it is Mrs Johnson uh presented this data in the summer um but we wanted to revisit a few a little a few points um ayp data is based off of a year behind and that was just released in March and we printed that in the legal ads in the paper and so we thought it's a perfect opportunity to remind everybody of what our goals were this year we know that we're working on growth in academics we're all committed to that staff and students have been working
045very hard and so Carrie's just going to take a moment to remind us of some highlights of that data and then update you on what we said we do this summer and what we've put in place you can go the next one please um so we were told that we were going to see in obviously an academic impact to the um from the pandemic with some socioeconomic groups and if you take a look at this um you know more than one year for because of covid but if you look at our paid lunches in English language arts we were going to see moderate to significant um recovery time and that's going to be a year maybe a little less but in our in paid lunches we are saying they significant mathematics and then if you
046look at free and reduced price it's going to take um for us to recover Ela and Mathematics and so we saw that because of the coven ant next one one more Chris yes and then this is just another graph showing it you can see the paint Mills for 2021 Ela it's the far left yellow for the state and in the next 2022 bright yellow is Ela and then you'll see the mouth comparison and this is just comparing our paid meals to our free and reduced price meals which is showing that Gap that and then this is a graph um that compares us to the state average and you can see where we were pre-covered in 2019 and we follow just parallel as the state dropped we dropped the same and so you know our goal
047is obviously to be higher than the state average but right now we're working to get to that if you look at math the next one we we were close and then we obviously had a greater impact after coven and we are still seeing that impact reminder this is old data and then I think Chris I think it's the last one this is just a reminder of what all the way to the end 14. thank you we've already talked about the high school and what they put in place this year so I won't I won't worry about much about the high school but new certified staff we've increased professional development we have a mentoring program and they meet once a month and so we've put that in place and so these are the things we've been
048doing all year we've paid attention to students in poverty in the subgroup and we've increased available supports there because we did see the biggest gaps there mtss intervention we're so showing results we've really honed into the science of reading and we've put some interventions in place with some Bartons and hegarty to help in that area we're increasing interventions in math this year grade four and five cohorts are the ones that we did see the largest impacts and tested grades so we focused um the state did help they came out with standards and needs of support um that were they identified the standards that students needed to be successful in the current grade and in future grades and so as a um Elementary group of principals we looked at those and compared into what how we
