Make a roll call. Looks like the only one missing is Jasmine. Make sure um academic award. >> Yeah, we're back. Uh so, welcome back everyone to a new school year. Um, just like that, September flew by and now we're in October and so we have our first superintendent academic award winners for the school year and we will start with elementary. I do want to just preface these awards by saying this is a great time to just highlight what the whole reason we're here for. And
002so I'm thankful for obviously teachers, all staff members, all employees who work with with students each day, parents, community, our school board. Um you know uh it's it's very rewarding and grateful to work with people who are committed to students and um you know just being student centered and having the opportunity to think about um the reason that we are here all the dynamic things that happen in a school district in a school day. Um it's it's super important for us to really um continue to understand that we're here for it to be for students and everything that we do is student centered. So with that, I will um I'll have the building principles introduce um the student of the month or the person that works in their building who will be introducing the student
003of the month. And we'll start with Brockway Elementary School. Our dedicated second grade teacher, Mr. Taylor, is actually home not feeling well and we're hopeful that he will be feeling better so he can come back to work tomorrow. But um he wishes that he could be here. But um I am very excited to honor uh Joey Robert. Come on up, Joey. Um members of the board, colleagues, friends, and Mr. Wilson, this is from your teacher, buddy. Um it is my pleasure to choose Joey Rodri to receive the superintendence award from Roughway for the month of se September 2025. Joey is an amazing child and I feel fortunate to have him in my class. I'd like to thank Joey's parents, Josh and Tabitha Robert. I think he has some uh family members here too and other
004important people in his life. So, thank you for all being here for Joey. Um, thank you Tabitha and Josh for giving us all the opportunity to work with such a wonderful child. Rockway staff have supported and encouraged Joey through his growth from kindergarten to second grade. Joey's path to second grade has not been without challenges. In school, there is a lot of pressure on students to excel socially as well as academically. As educators, we understand how difficult it can be for our youngest students to adjust to these rigorous expectations. Despite these challenges, Joey continues to work and grow. Joey's Brock's family is extremely proud of the growth this young man has made. In class, we spend a lot of time discussing how to be positive and hardworking and working hard. Sorry, let me start over.
005In my class, we spend a lot of time discussing how being positive and working hard can help you be successful in life. Joey demonstrates these qualities every day. He does this through his actions and his words. Joey shows empathy, understanding, and courage when interacting with both students and staff at Brockway. He exhibits our school expectations of being safe, respectful, responsible, and kind. Joey is a child with many outstanding qualities, and I look forward to following his success through school and beyond. Joey's Brockway team looks forward to watching his continued hard work, kindness, and growth in the years to come. Keep up the great work, Joey. We are proud of you. >> Yeah. No, I forgot that we also have um each of the students that win an awards tonight get to choose. They these are
006just slap wrists. They're super cute with little animals on >> stand right here by the way. There you go. looking elementary. >> Right. Good evening everybody. I am excited to introduce looking glasses fourth and fifth grade teacher Miss Galves and Mrs. DHY um at looking glass and we were talking about um our superintendent awards. They said, "Oh, we know we know we want to write it together jointly." So, they are excited to co-anounce our um academic award winner. >> All right. We would like to invite Micah up here. Well, there are a great number of amazing fifth grade students at Looking Glass. Micah Stevens is our nomination for the October Superintendent Award. Micah is the daughter of Michelle and Michael. was chosen for this award because of her hard work, character, and determination of many
007of the positive character traits taught at Looking Glass Elementary School. Being the fifth grade teacher at Looking Glass, I have the unique privilege of first meeting my students when they enter kindergarten. Micah and I happen to start at Looking Glass the same year. Over the years, Micah has become an amazing volleyball player and has blossomed into an excellent leader. She is currently the only fifth grader on the volleyball team. Still right playing with older girls and she holds her own very well, proving she deserves to be on the court. She is also what I call a quiet leader. She does not necessarily lead with her words, but by her actions, a quiet example. As fifth graders, we spend a year being the leaders of the school, and I cannot think of a better leader or
008better recipient of this award. What impresses us the most about Micah is her stamina and work ethic. She is an exceptional student who always tries her best. She brings a bright outlook and kindness into our classroom every day. She shows perseverance in whatever she does, even when it is difficult. She is an empathetic friend to everyone in our classroom and others as well. I would like to thank Micah's family for nurturing such a well-rounded and grounded daughter that would be going out into our schools, community, and world to do great and wonderful things. We cannot be prouder to have Micah in our classrooms and receiving this award. We know that she will accomplish anything she puts her mind to. And thank you, Micah, for working so hard at whatever task is put before you and
009always having a positive attitude while you are doing it. Last but not least, let's invite Sandy Rena here. Reno, our um superintendent academic awards here and come on up. Before I hand it off to Sandy, I did want to say something nice about Colton that he also be and he was the winner of one of our prizes at open house. So he is a winner and he's had a great first come true. I'm gonna read this letter both on behalf of myself and also Kelly Burley. Uh we are team teaching at McGovern this year and so I teach ELA to Colton and then Kelly teaches him during math. Um so this is both of volleyball tonight and wasn't able to be here otherwise she would definitely be here. All right. Colton is the son of
010Tasha and Victor Wilson. demonstrates perseverance, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning. He approaches challenges with a positive attitude and continues to push himself even when the work feels difficult. His determination and growth mindset have been an inspiration to both his classmates and his teachers. Beyond his academic strength, Holy stands out for his kindness and respect towards others. He encourages his peers, celebrates their successes, and is always willing to win the hand. Colton embodies what it means to be a McGovern Cheetah. Caring, curious, and unstoppable. I am confident that Colton's resilience, compassion, and dedication will continue to serve him well, and inspire those around him. It is an honor to teach him and an honor to recommend him for this award. Congratulations. [Music] And now >> good evening everyone. My name is S Patterson and
011I'm here with the DHS student report. Homecoming was a success. Our football team won in overtime versus Southerntherland. The homecoming dance put on by ASC leadership was a lot of fun. Our theme was neon night and food was kicked by DHS culinary. In sports, volleyball continued to do great. They were eight and two in September and are currently second in the Far West League. Girls soccer is having their best season in years with a current record of six wins, one loss, and two ties. Our metal shop is busily making projects, including helping the culinary classes stools in their classroom and mounting a sign that the wood shop made for the old cast coffee shop. It's fun to see all the CTE classes working on projects together. We have some really talented students. Upcoming events at
012DHS include a tree on Thursday, October 30th in the DHS parking lot hosted by the booster club. All are welcome to attend or participate. If you or anyone you know would like to participate, please contact Jennifer Oul. November 6th, ASB leadership and the Red Cross are hosting a blood drive in the gym at the high school. Donation spots are still available. If you would like to donate, please visit the Red Cross's website or contact KPO tool and we will schedule a spot for you. Walk-ins are always welcome to block. That's all I got for this month. Thank you and go for it. [Music] So, right now we're going to have a brief intermission for those of you who don't want to stay for the whole meeting. Everything's backwards. See later? Okay. [Music] >> My bad.
013[Music] Thank you. >> All right. >> Yeah. On into the superintendent report. >> Yeah. We'll just start with the uh that enrollment report. Um it does show that we're down 12 students from from last month. Um so we'll just continue to to monitor that. It's um there has been declining enrollment. Um I've been looking a little bit more into it even in in Douglas County. So um just slightly. It's it's nothing to be super concerned about with it. Um we'll keep our eye on it. Kim and I have been plugging numbers in um and you know trying to ensure that we are allocating appropriately. So um I did it's not on there but I did there was a couple copies in the back too. This one that said state budget report and so I I
014have that for you guys if you have any questions in regards to that. I'll just read that. Governor Tina Cotch GTK that's what I close spending. So, we spoke about this last month. I told you that I would give you an update each month. Um, she's referring to it in the third bullet, sharpening our pencils, slowing spending, rethinking operations, delaying non-critical investments. So, that's where we're at. Kind of going back even to the budget message that I shared in July. Um, that's where we're living right now and we will continue to do so. But that's a for a resource if you guys want to read through that and you have if you have any questions either either now or in the future just let me know. Um the next the next steps really that last
015slide it's just they will the the state's been really responsive in regards to all the things that are coming down the pike and they'll keep us updated. That's all I have for you. Move on to report items of discussion. Uh recommended SBA policy updates first reading. >> Yeah, I submitted that big pile to you guys last month and um >> Oh, I'm sorry. This is the first reading for this was just one had come back through. Um let me just look at what that is. There's updated graduation requirements that advisory committee to the board that uh that's pretty straightforward. There's just a lot of red line. There's actually just a new policy. The red line's gone. But then there is also the budget committee version two. um education directors for students with abilities. Oh, they're
016not mort. I'm sorry. The only two that we had were um the other one was the graduation requirements. So most of that big pile that you have is the second reading for last. >> Yeah. and I work with uh with Mr. Anderson in regards to graduation requirements. There was nothing nothing to have a question on the personal electronic devices one-way. length of time period. >> Yeah, it's actually the the question really is on 2-2 where it says um the appeal to the superintendent within 10 days of issuing. Excuse me, it's not there. It's about that. But the school administration will consult with the school nurse or appropriate. School administration decisions will be issued and communicated to the parent or guardian within 10 days. On the cover, I believe on the other page of 12 days
017we just spoke about there's two 12elves. >> So 112 and 110. On page 1-3 it says 12 days. On page 2-2 it says 10 days. And I think they're communicating the same thing. >> That policy the whole packet >> took me a bit to find it. one is what those two dashes >> one-3 and 2-2 it's a JF >> so on the first page with the exemption provided for the student based on this request received the AR which is just that exception the the school administration will respond to such a request within 12 school Uhhuh. >> Yeah. >> And then on the second page 2-2, it says the appeal to the superintendent communication to the parent or guardian within 10 days of proceeding. And I just thought they should both looking at apples and oranges
018and I don't know. School administration will approve this. school administration decisions will beated to the parent or guardian here it says within 10 days and over here what I'm reading says 12 days >> yeah what I see what you're saying >> school administration will respond to such a request within 12 school days of the exception and then it said school administration will consult with the school numbers when appropriate school administration says we'll be issuing vision within 12 yeah 12 school days that So it should be 12. >> Yeah, 12 and 12. Thank you for that clarification. 12 and 12. >> I think I was corrected on that. >> But the 10 the 10 can stay the same. The last 10. >> Yeah. Okay. If the 12 got changed in the the actual personal electronic device
019policy, it didn't get changed to match the AR. >> Yeah, that division 22 standards report. Um this is we just have to have this in front of you guys. Uh Mr. Welker, is there anything that you would say here that you do to provide more information? >> Happy to answer any questions. It's basically a report that we that we are obligated to do to the state every year saying that we are following all of the things within division 22 which is actually there's 59 items of which 57 are currently required. It ranges everything from math standards to pesticide use to the purity of our water. >> Nice to see compliance on all those. >> Yes, it was it was a good opportunity for Mr. Will tonight to sit down and just uh and to uh
020what's the correct word ascertain our our level of compliance and other ask ourselves other areas we could do a little bit better in but we certainly didn't want to see need to mark ourselves non-compliant in anything. It's it's an opportunity to improve. there's specific questions on any of those, I'd happy to direct you to the website rather that stuff is posted. >> Yeah, it's always division 22 always gets everyone pretty excited having discussions about um clients and all the things they refer to. Not to be confused with the 59 items. Is that what you said Dave? We >> called division 22. That's the number of the >> Yeah. >> Right. you you want to talk about the Douglas Recreation Storage Unit? >> Yeah, that is one thing I wanted to talk to you guys about
021is so um Doug Wreck, you know, historically um they I was in speaking with Doug and working with Doug, it would be nice if they could store some of their athletic equipment um in a in a more central location. I've talked to Mr. the whole back down at the middle school over over by the the track. Um there's those track sheds that um are already there. I I I don't know if that's the best place for it, but I wanted to at least broach the subject from the information that I've heard. Historically, we've never really um offered, you know, um the community organization or specifically Doug Reck um that opportunity to the store. Um so I did some research um in regards to, you know, if we could make that happen. And I just figured
022that I would put it on you guys plate. I'm not letting into anything that they're saying now that you know both South Upboro and Southerntherland are allowing people to to use um the school district they're able to store their their football pads, shoulder pads, all the things um whatever it may be. >> Yeah, this would be volleyball, basketball, football. It's quite a bit of stuff. Uh, it has to be in a in a location where they can get it at any time because we're storing it right now and seems like I'm down there every time a sport comes around middle of the day, weekends, in the evening, hitting stuff with people. So, it would have to be in a place where they could get to it anytime you norally go storage for something else now.
023relocating something or >> Well, they wouldn't actually just we wouldn't store they they would provide Dougl would provide from my understanding they would provide their own like pod or storage place that we would put on our property and then and then they could store it, you know, obviously how they whatever locking mechanism they did or whatever system it was, but it would just be on our it would be on district property. >> And I and I just threw that out there. I don't know. I could talk with the admin team with the board's with your guys's consent. I can we can work with as an admin team. We can come up with a maybe a location or an idea or a proposal and then we can put it in front of you guys to to
024vote. >> Bus wouldn't be behind the fence or anything but they still get to >> Yeah. Oh, done. Yeah. >> Yeah. You can work with JD and Carrie. >> Yeah. Yeah. I can I can we can I can I can work with the Doug rep and find out where what would be you know if they have recommendations and then I can draft up a little proposal in regards to I mean yeah we would so we would do like you know an intergovernmental agreement just to make sure it's comp >> because there' only be probably couple people that would get in if >> yeah the board to do to work on that. >> I mean, I would it's if people were making requests for me to work on things like in regards to this matter, then
025it' be nice if if you guys approved of it and if you guys are okay with me that >> and then I can work with Doug Rad. We can all work together to to see if we can come up with proposal. >> Make sure we doize across our tees. How big of a storage unit would it be? >> I wouldn't take any more that much, but big enough to put shelves in for the helmet and separate. Yeah, >> I know. >> It'd be nice for them to get a home spot where they can start working on improving their storage. >> Yeah, >> my back room. >> Your back room. put something else in there. >> Yeah. Yeah, I'll take it. I I was just going to wait to talk to you guys about this because
026it's night and then I'll uh I'll just like said, I'll start from um coming up with plan. No, they're just they're starting to come in. We could get the the rose eye pumpkin patch. I will just anticipate that. You'll see a lot of pictures and hope weather stays nice and all it's nice time of the year and all those kiddos get down in the pumpkin patch. Um, other than that, is there anything that the building principles would like to speak to in regards to the field trips? Thank you guys. No. All right. So, how about the adoption of consensus agenda school district board directors approve consent? >> I'll second motion and second. All in favor? I I carried Uh about action items second reading. >> What's your timeline change on the policy that just >>
027um that was just an error. Yeah, that that we can just change that. I can make we can make that change with your guys's approval. We'll just change the the policy and the AR to match both 12 days. Other than that, those the second readings, if you guys didn't see anything, I would encourage your approval for all those policy updates. And then that will also check the box for the personal electronic device. We have to have an adopted policy by the 31st. So, we'll get that done tonight. with the personal electronic devices. You ever talk about storage storage bases for those or anything by purchasing anything or >> we we have talked administratively about that? Yeah. But we the policy we just kept it with on their purse and room in in a in a
028backpack >> locker locked up stored away. I I'd heard I' I'd actually talked to other people what they were doing and it sounds like that was more kind of what they felt too because the expense and it just wasn't worth the expense to to have something in the liability of of stoing it for them if something happened. >> Yeah. I'd be curious whether or not I mean Salem Kaiser spent $200,000 on storage via PE storage. So a little bit more >> we we were we talked about a lot make a lot of sense. >> Yes, we are sharpening our pencil. Correct. >> That'll go over well here in about six months. I'm sure that purchased but um we actually got quotes. So, I mean, I think do you guys remember I think our quotes were
029for the yonder pouches for just the high school and the DHS. Um, it was close to $40,000. We were like >> yeah school review board of directors to approve recommended OSBA policy update as presented. I'll second that. Okay, we have a motion and second. All in favor? I unanimous election project school renew American school prize grant. Uh he read that description. Yeah, that'd be >> project management for the for the Renew America School grant project at Dillard Alternative High School. Energy updates scope of service are attached over the five-year term amount not to exceed 26,363 and payable to community system solutions and fully funded by the Renew America social or excuse me America school prize grant Oregon's renew American schools prize grant and separate from the renew America school federal >> which we got. So
030I wanted >> Okay. So we have a recommendation. >> So is this for what are we using that for? >> Energy update school. That's the only qualified. >> That's what I thought. I didn't know we were putting in I mean citizen or what >> right now? We're not quite sure because that's project manager. >> We're actually still waiting. So the second one let them see. We're still waiting for that Asher level two which is the u they they come out and they just assess what where where we stand. So then they'll then they'll work with the project managers to recommend whether it's windows or plumbing or whatever it may be. Um I think we talked about lights over there. windows >> windows >> and um we have a a match that we have to do
031but the boarding department shouldn't >> we're planning on keeping the school for the long run I mean I >> yeah discuss >> don't have to right now >> I mean at this point >> they're offering to to do this you know you know, >> and you know, Greg could probably speak to this, but I mean, even the what the deal alternative is, you know, they got 50 60 kids over there right now. >> Um, if we can get some decent energy um efficiency upgrades to that old building. It's not a bad spot. Uh Shelby and his crew are down there. Um, you know, so like you said, actually open my store and I think in the future really it's not a terrible idea. >> We just need a motion. >> So I'll make a motion.
032And I move the Wayne Dillard School Board of Directors to approve the budget, excuse me, the project management for the DAH energy update for a total amount not to exceed $26,363 and payable to community solutions. >> We have a motion to all in favor. just we're just waiting. >> No, we got to defer alternative high school grant. Uh the district provide She American American heavy body of of heating, refrigeration and air conditioning engineers professional services for the renewal America schools grant project at Dillard alternative high school energy update total amount not to exceed $11,50 and table to RMW engineers funded by the federal renewal America school grant. The Wood Hill School District Board of Directors approved the Ashra Professional Service to the DH DAH as energy updates for the total amount not to exceed $11,50
033and payable to RW engineers. >> I'll second that motion. >> We have a motion and a second. All in favor? Just let me let me just recap that real quick. So the the second the C ashray level two that's an energy audit. So they come out and they look at the building and they do they really assess um whatever whatever they need to ashray those folks that's actually R&W engineers they'll work closely with the project managers who are help me out Kim >> CSS community system solutions so once the energy audit is get gets complete they'll share what their recommendations are to the project manager And then the actual monies that we'll spend to update whatever ashray >> options that will be coming down the pike too because we have more money to spend. So
034tonight was just for the energy audit and the money to secure the project manager for what will happen. >> This is a graph that Yes. is now coming through >> because it's a federal grant >> and you'll have to use more weight because we're already we've been running into now with the government shutdown already. So, >> who knows? We might someone might have just done an energy audit and got some project management funds for doing nothing. Do we have anyone signed up to speak tonight? I hope I believe so. So, we'll move on to for the good of the order. Um, I know that Kyle would like to say something for the order. >> Yeah, absolutely. So, uh, my apologies for not making it to lasting lives, but uh, I would like to recognize Don
035and Jan for working on the program. Uh this summer we fed over 11,000 meals uh during the months of uh June, July and Augusta being the biggest month which we fed close to 7,000 meals. So just a big thank you to her and the team for being out there. They were worked when it was really hot and uh we had we made good flight of it. On Thursdays we had popsicles and uh so have a little thank you present for her. It's cheesing to say being the light for people in food security. >> Well, can I just say that my grandkids went to the, you know, bus and and always a smile. You know, I know it wasn't always easy. Lots of kids in line and heat and everything, but always a smile and always
036kindness. So, it was awesome. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. >> Okay, let's move on to the building principles. Rob, you want to start? >> Sure. So, a lot of things going on at the middle school academically. Um getting our uh teacher teams put together. We're starting to see a lot of a lot of good work around interventions and supporting kids. And what's nice is one team is coming up with a solution that then can work for another team. So, uh, really sharing sharing that starting to get down to root causes on why kids are are not doing well in school. And so, that's exciting to see. Uh, in working with, uh, with the students on changing changing the culture, uh, we've been leveraging our leadership group. They've, uh, got a slew
037of activities planning. In fact, uh, in that they're starting to film their own PFAS, uh, on, you know, how how we should behave. Our digital media class is also coming up with uh different posters and memes and pieces that can go into announcements. Some that are humorous, some that are serious and really trying to put that that constant message out there on how we should be interacting. And then our sports programs I'll turn to Michelle. We've uh we've had some, you know, some really good success, some tight losses, but >> yeah, our volleyball teams played tonight against a very close game. Seventh grade, lost two to one. And our eighth grade team won two to one, right? Um, our cross country team went to Ford Pond today. I'm not sure how they did. Um, wait
038to hear from Mr. Hunter. And then tomorrow night, our football team's going to go down to South Claw High School and play against Coffinberry under the lake. What time does that start? >> It'll be starting at 5:30. The parade will start. >> Yes. Right, Emily. >> Um, the last couple of weeks, Winning Glass has been working um on looking at some writing data. So, a couple years ago, we adopted simplify writing for our writing curriculum, and they came up with some new assessments this year. So, we've been looking at that data and looking at how it can influence um what we're teaching in classrooms. So, that's been some really exciting stuff. We had a wonderful community event. We had a family dance where kiddos got to come and dance to music in the gym. Um
039put lights up. There was concessions running. There were raffles and it was a lot of fun. From kindergarten all the way to fifth grade. Everybody was out there dancing. Um it was a really great time. Coming up, we have the Halloween skate that will also put on for us. Everyone will dress in costumes and skate around the gym with music. A really fun community event. We also have a lot of exciting learning going on in classrooms. So, we've been talking a lot as a staff about engaging students and making sure that um they're enjoying their time while they're at school. Yes, we want them to learn, but we want them to love it and we want them to want to be there and want to come back the next day. And so, we've been working
040on a lot of engagement strategies and we've had some great things going on. Our second grade had a sleepover party two days ago where they were celebrating their attendance, but they also brought in reading and so they all got to turn the lights down and pretend like they were at a sleepover and read to each other, read to their stuffed animals and it was a lot of fun. We also had a third grade, our third grade class was reading about murals and how they can affect communities and really boost morale in communities by just painting on walls. So they actually created their own mural in their classroom after they were done reading and it's all about friendship and coming together. That again was very engaging. Our fourth grade classroom is having a room transformation tomorrow.
041So Miss Jordy spent hours after school today creating a tornado in one section of her classroom, creating a wildfire in another section of her classroom. And kiddos are going to come in tomorrow and they get to explore all the different sections. and all day will be all about natural disasters. So, just another way that we're engaging kids. We also added something really exciting um to looking glass. It's a gumball machine. And you wouldn't think a gumball machine was that exciting, but when gum is outlawed in your school and you bring in a gumball machine, it really excites kiddos. And so one way that we are rewarding positive behavior is when kiddos get drawn for what's called a cop being safe at looking glass for being strong, accountable, friendly or empathetic. They get a quarter and
042they get to try the gumball machine. They also get a quarter and they get to give it to a friend who they've seen also be strong um empathetic, friendly or accountable. And at first we were afraid that they were just going to give it to their buddy. But the other day I had a first grader in there and I said, "Oh, you gave your extra quarter to so and so." He goes, "Yeah, he's not even my friend, but he was really accountable." So, they're really understanding and recognizing the trace in each other, and that's really exciting. >> Yeah. We had our open house um at McGover and Domino's and then donated 60 large pizzas um for us to feed our families. And so we had pizza and we put some salad out to make it,
043you know, a nice meal and they had water and juice to choose from. And we um we weren't sure, you know, about 60 pizzas how many that want to feed really. We had this idea, but you just never know. We had more than enough. So, um, people were going out for seconds. We were able to give staff pizza and salads to take home to their families. We had Doug Wreck in there. They set up a booth. Um, they took home pizzas to their families. We had um, Cub Scouts in there as well. They set up a meeting and got some information out to families. And then all I think almost all of our teachers were there. I think it's maybe all of them um were at open house and um families were going in and
044talking to the teachers in the classroom and it was a really really fun time. We had um prizes and it was a good night for connection and just really so grateful to be able to feed our families that way and very very grateful for the best >> in high school. High school. Yes, thank you. >> The high school made cookies and we served them too. So, there were four high schoolers um who came and that was awesome. Um, so a lot of people who who were put in a lot of time and effort into our um into our open house, our events committee, they just a group of teachers and some other staff um that worked on making this night um possible and and spent a lot of their own extra time making sure that
045it was a fun night for our families. So really grateful for that. Uh today we had Dana Nerburgg who came back um to visit at all the elementary schools and so um for those of you who don't know who that is she works for Stanford children Oregon so she's an early literacy coach for principal basically and so she comes in she walks through classrooms with us and um our early literacy classrooms and then provides feedback talks to us about what we can do to help our teachers and um help our students. So really really good information. Um, and I will say today I we walked through the day and the results of it are instruction and the conversations that we had about what's happening in our schools and and what we can do um and
046how to improve it on so many levels of what I can do and how I can help teachers was really really awesome and um very motivating. afterwards. Um we also at the government just hired three new fed I so we're very excited um to welcome them to our DLC soft. Um and then lastly we also teachers or math teachers worked with Laura Nelson who um who's a math consultant. Last year we had Jen Hunt and this year we have Laura Nelson um her company called Mathway Northwest and she observed teachers. She went into their classrooms for almost an entire block and then she spent 20 minutes of each of them um she's reading what she observed and then she's planning for the PD for them that'll be based off of what she's on the talk
047based on the need. So really excited about that too. >> All right. Um it's October and October the early elementary school is audited eventful. Um we are definitely out of the honeymoon period and really um letting our personality shine at times. Um but there are some really really great things that are going on and happening at Parkway. also had been in um today and she was able to do a professional development um session with my staff teachers um around comprehension and engagement um through read aloud um and um it was um pretty quick but we kind of got down and dirty I felt like and got through the information and applied it and gave teachers a tool to take back to the classroom to use. Um, and read alouds are not a new thing that
048elementary teachers do, but we just added a little bit more details into it. Um, to hopefully help with that student engagement and comprehension. Um, we uh had our second booster club meeting. So, Brockway hasn't had a booster club or a PTO for quite some time. Um, and so we're really trying to get the word out that we want to um have that happen again. And um, we doubled our attendance from four to eight. um but some really um energetic calm that happens to be right now um that want to do some great things for our students in our school. Um couple things we talked about was also having a family dance uh later on. Um we are envious of McGovern's cheetah mascot. who would love our own version of a cheetah mascot at Brockway. And
049u we are also looking into adding to the Winston community um safari metal animals that are around town. We would love to have our cheetah club at Crossway too. So those are some things that they are focusing on. We will also be having a trick or treat that they are um helping to organize. It is it is happen. Um, we are what else I can share. That might just have to be it. I'm gonna let Terry Brown wrap it up so much. But, um, >> well, always takes everything from me, but she did leave me one thing tonight. Um, which I'm I'm grateful for. She she forgot to mention our boys soccer team. Uh, so, uh, I'm going to shine the light on, uh, Kyle, um, with his new hat and digs over here. He's
050working really hard. He showed up with the New York Yankee hat on. So, we had to obviously direct him to, uh, the Trojan way with his new hat and shirt over here. So, but he is working really hard. The boys soccer team is, and we appreciate appreciate him working hard. So, I didn't want to leave him out when they were talking about all the sports up there. So, Good looking. >> Anyone else? Do you have anything? Okay. >> All right. >> Anything from the city? >> You don't want to know. [Laughter] Okay, >> I'm happy just to be sitting out here rather than >> All right, we're in filming our regular session at West School District on November 25.
