001Oh, at time at this time we will proceed with the agenda provided. If there's not the board members pres of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Okay, it looks like we have uh everyone's here present. So, we're going to start out with the DHS student report and >> turn off. Sorry. My name >> my name is Person and I'm the 25 26 ASC president at Doug High School and I'm here with the student report. Um I'll first just like to say that these weeks have been like really busy. Um all the teachers and students are getting settled back into school and counselors are like moving around schedules and stuff and fall sports are in full swing. Um, if

002you guys want to come to any games, we have a home girls soccer game tomorrow at the point and football's first home game is this Friday. Um, the biggest changes this year has been the phone band. Um, Doug High School doing their best to like implement it. Um, so far so good. We haven't had very many issues. Most of the students been pretty good with it. Um, I mean it's nice to like get done with school and my son's like fully charged. So, um, yeah, look forward to a great year. >> All right. Thank you. >> You don't have to stay for the whole meeting. [Music] So, you don't have to. Thank you very >> uh yeah no I was going to mention I was just going to mention just the enrollment and I have

003a brief notic forecast there kind of double-sided um Kurt and I were actually just talking about this so our enrollment um 1290 which this time last year we were 1246. So we'll start we'll start working with the looks like it's secondary that had a bump and so we'll start working with the the secondary team to kind of determine where these students are coming from and you know I'm sure it could be the Phoenix and we know that Phoenix shut down so we'll keep our eye on that and um and the kids that we have identified try to retain them. I know that Phoenix is trying to get open again. Not sure if that'll happen this school year or otherwise, but it's good to see that the number up in regards to the enrollment. Any questions?

004Obviously, there's not a lot of information there. So, we ended I will just mention 66. So, at the in June, we ended at 1278. Um, so we're even up from where we ended. Yeah, on a less promising um not panic, we talked about it. I think I sent this to you guys. the economic I'll just give you a quick brief brief economic forecast because the the first quarter for the bianium so 25 to 27 bianium which the legislative session just ended um in the summertime and we did secure the 11.6 billion that we were looking to get to fully fund education but the the this first quarter economic forecast wasn't great. I'm not going to read to you guys, but the four bullet points does a good job of some of the some of the

005reasons why we're seeing that. And then really the three key takeaways that I wanted to share with everyone. Um, this news means that it is time to plan, not panic. Um, the positive is that Oregon does have a healthy reserve of about three and a half billion dollars. And with there still being 21 21 months left in the current budget cycle, um we don't want to obviously panic. Um we are not alone. There's that second bullet. You know, our partners continue to provide timely information and to advocate for strong educational funding. So KOSA and everyone's aware of kind of where we're at economically and we'll just continue to move forward and um and plan accordingly. Um and if you guys have any questions, um you know that last sentence I will say I will continue

006to model the highest level of transparency by sharing any and all updates related to economic forecasts that we uh there's a lot of changes that are happening right now and um ultimately um if we have to tap into any reserves um they may have to do so. You guys can always reach out with any question any questions in regards to business information. Um, other than that, I don't want to still know all these guys. TA made a very good point about how busy it's been for the last couple weeks and just we had we are a little bit ahead of a lot of the districts in the county because we started on Monday the 25th and so and it's crazy to think it's even September 10th right now and it's been fast and furious and

007so I will um I'll leave it to the building principles to talk about the good of the order at the end of the meeting. report items in discussion was EA policy update. >> We did. You guys are probably doing more more of these. So, we finished a desk audit that Mrs. Kellison had began and it seemed like at this time of the year last year we were doing heavy policy um all the way through December. It was I think that that actually November and so it actually but and it's it's not going to be the same. I promise you that we this is just the the single um polic recommended OSBA policy updates. Um and so we got them actually in a timely manner. And so I would just um I would ask you guys

008to look through all of these when you get a chance. Um, I'm not going to go through all of them for you, but that that top one is what we had talked about and SA actually uh brought it up in her report that personal electronic device um policy. So, that's right there on the top for us. So, this will be our first reading and then we'll have another reading if you guys have any recommended changes. Michelle and Janna and Craig and Jeff and I all met um to review not just the executive order but the policy itself and that's kind of where we landed on. So if someone were to ask that really this first the first paragraph student use of a personal electronic device is prohibited from the start of regular instructional hours until

009the end of regular instructional hours except as provided below. Um, and then there's those exceptions. Um, and then the other key paragraph is the one at the bottom of that front page where it says, "Personal electronic devices may be kept by students in lockers or backpacks, but personal electronic devices are not to be stored on the students person or in the students clothing during regular instructional hours." And so that's kind of where we're landing. That's what we we've determined as a team um that that's what our policy is going to be. There is um there is more to it. You know, part of the executive order is that you'll have, you know, punitive um there'll be discipline and and the rest of it. And so, you can kind of read through what the first instance

010of non-compliance all the way beyond the third. And then Craig and the secondary team is already implementing um You know, I would I would say that you guys want to talk about what you guys are doing in terms of the implementation. We kind of did a slow about not a slow start, but right now off and away during class 3, but right now during the passing periods they're able to have them because doesn't go until July one or January 1. So um when it gets the that policy funny because we all interpret it you know such a different the worrying is you know well I I look at it this way and Jeff looked at it Michelle looked at it one way Jan looked at it another so we had to come together and kind

011of you know for us the bell in high school is when a bell rings first period against first period is that bell a bell passing period can they have them you know so it was like a um the interpretation was not there so Mr. and told us what a filling was. So, so we went with that. So, um but the kids are are doing really well. We've had a few hiccups along the way with with some phones, which we're going to. Um but for the most part, so far we're doing we're doing really well. Jeff, you can go over the disc phone part. How do we how we do that? >> Yeah, we've actually mirrored what's on there, what you guys see in front of you pretty close as far as the reminders, right? And

012then it's the confiscation um into the third door. Hey, we're checking in at the front office and then after that it's considered a different discipline or category. Um, so it's just that that cycle of, you know, slow progression into, hey, our expectation, right? We know kids are they're addictive things and they rely on them. And so we're really trying to work with our kids to, hey, we're moving that direction. We're not trying to be too punitive and just work towards, hey, we can learn more and do better in class. And hopefully we get that realization as we get to January one and then we have a little bit harder information implementation put in. So >> fun stuff. >> Yeah, which is what we're looking for when we when we talked about it. Not not ripping

013the bandit off. Sort of just the slow kind of the slow roll and you know getting the kids acclimated to it and understanding what the policy is. So, um, I'd encourage you to read through that and if we need to make any adjustments, well, we'll do our second reading and and hopefully adopt on, uh, October, I'm sorry, is it 8th? October 8 is our next board meeting. And so then we'll have this policy adopted and then that'll give um the the secondary admin team to continue to have those conversations with their with their students and then the implementation of that of this policy will be technically January 1st. Um, sorry that was longwinded, but I wanted to really make sure that you guys um have a chance to to weigh in on that too if

014you are hearing anything. So, in regards to the cell phone apologies >> far pretty quiet >> honestly. Yeah. And I think that it's it's been helpful. Um, it's been helpful that we we have taken it slow. I think um and uh >> we got adopted on parent square though a big thing on parents square before school started we did I think that is everybody sent that stuff out they knew it was coming. Yeah. And I think that as we move forward too, just building around their communication plan about how it's a positive and and not, you know, it's positive for them to um get, you know, be detached from that that device while they're learning school and and really trying to trying to incentivize and trying to find a way to to communicate with everyone

015that this is we're doing this for the best mental and emotional and social health for our kids. So I think that that'll be important. Um yeah, annual title one parent notification. So just per the policy, the IGBC, the district shall meet with parents annually to provide information regarding the title one programs and policy requirements. And so that'll happen at our u at our parent night. And then so Brockway and McGovern and the alternative school are all title one school. So, as they as they have their welcome, you guys want to talk about that, Shannon? >> I'll explain just what title one is. It's basically um based off of um poverty levels in the schools and for Broadway, McGovern, and the also the highest. So we are required we we get extra funding for those schools

016and we um pay for um reading anything to do with reading, math, behavior, um mental health. We can use it for all of that. So at our open house that we'll have in the 18th is when we share out information about our title one plan in our program in our district or actually in our school, I'm sorry. Um, and our learning specialists usually lead that and helps answer questions if parents have will look a little bit different this year because we don't have a first time that's designated as the title one teacher um like Brockway does. And so we'll have we're it'll most likely be a booth that we're going to set up. We'll have brochures and we'll we'll talk to families. I'll probably speak with the fans as well about what title one is

017and how we're utilizing this one. >> Open houses open. We have we title funding there. We pay for um feature and extra to help us out. Dave, you want to talk about the integrated? Sorry. Go ahead. You want to move on? Uh, no. One questions. Anybody else have anybody else? >> Yeah. In your packet for your approval is is the integrated plan report. It's actually a report based on the 22 23 to 23 24 school year. So it's it's a it's a a report that we have to make to OD based upon what you might consider fairly old data. Um but but it is required for some of the funding that we received specifically the early literacy funding and the high school success funding. So um just basically a report that how we're doing in

018those areas and and how we're we're progressing towards the goals that they set and we're actually making good progress. I need to think or change. Any specific questions, feel free to to throw them out. But as as you're aware, it's it's two-y old data. And so we're we're we're several years beyond that right now. >> And the data we want to share, they say don't share. >> Yes, it's embargo, but I have a copy of right here. Yeah, 7B there. The OSBA road show. Uh Jeff and I attended that last year. That's just uh they'll be back and they'll talk and so Oregon School Board Association will just there's it was a big session, big legislative session that just ended. So I'm sure they'll have lots to talk out talk about to include probably cell

019phone ban policies. Um but if you guys are interested, if any of you guys are interested in going to that, the Douglas ESD over there on Diamond um Lake will uh they'll host it on October 21st. So dinner at 6:00 and then they did at 6:30 and a short um a short meeting and it's good pretty goodformational and the fact that it's close. So if you are interested, could you let us Michelle and I know >> and then we can reach out to Cindy Doyle and get get people signed up. And then in that same in that same vein, um the the OS the annual convention up in Portland is November 6th and 8th. So um the theme is building bridges to student success. So if anyone on the board is interested in attending that,

020just please let uh Michelle know as soon as possible. We there's uh in the board packet there there's the with the OSBA um recommended policy updates. They also share at the same time the recommended student handbooks um updates. And so there's bees, lees, and nees and wms have all shared um their handbooks with uh new updates. I encourage you to read through those. >> Um yeah, there I think there were three or four on there. I'm trying to find where the package >> Yeah, there's a lot of lot of policy. Yeah, >> good good fire. >> Yeah, >> you take it home. Um field trip um field trip requests. Um I think there's three or four on there. So they're they're starting to come in. Yeah. All right. Move on to adoption of agenda. Anyone

021have any questions on anything on that? >> The only question I had was back on the device um the cellular phone device. Is this a appropriate time to ask that question? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Okay. So, on the exemption form, it says the exemption form is for the school year, but the denial is for 12 months. I'm just wondering if maybe the denial should be the school year as well. So, it says denied request may be resubmitted if circumstances change or after 12 months. My thought is the exemption for the school year, >> right? It should be cohesive and also say doesn't give me the next school year. >> So if it happened in the the middle of the school year, >> it could still >> Yeah. >> for the whole next school year or

022>> Yeah. I mean you're this extension for the school year. >> So I'm just wondering if the denial should also be for the school year and not a full 12 month. >> Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So if you lost your privilege at the end of the year or you have an invention start over >> because every exemption has to be done each year. >> Yeah. Well, and on that note though, Susan, at the very at the bottom, I spoke to Susan about this. >> No, I would just say the maximum, this is something that our committee when we we looked at this, uh, the request for personal electronic device exception. >> Um, and then at the bottom here where it has the little one, it says the maximum duration of the exemption is we have options

023there. I just chose the end of the current school year. So, that's something I can talk to the team about too about because it says you can choose one year for the end of the current school year or the end of the of the students enrollment at the school, but there's options for that, too. I just thought that at the end of the current school year seemed like the most appropriate time that um but I guess it's we'll we'll start to once we once this goes into effect and these exceptions start rolling in, >> we'll we'll have we don't have really have a lot of experience right now about what they look like. So >> it would just seem that it's easier to start everybody fresh at the beginning of the school year rather than

024going oh wait >> for 12 months. So they got an exemption for two two months, but they'd still have to start over at the beginning of the next school year. >> So the language would be denied request may be resubmitted if circumstances change or at the end of the school year >> or beginning >> or after the end of the school. I think that's a good I think it's a good catch. I can make that change. Do you all agree on that? >> Um I move that school district board of directors approve the consent agenda as >> second. We have a motion and a second. All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? Opposed? Motion carries. >> You want to read the scripture? Josh uh Winston area community partnership after school youth program team and

025renewal of partnership to provide after school academic enrichment programs under the management of the Winston Keith Center for students the total cost of 22,000 for under the excuse me for services from August 25th through 2025 to June 10th. 2026. >> Someone talked about this last year. >> Yeah, they went out >> and and I felt like they didn't give us answers like we wanted. I felt like was it do I remember that right? I cuz when I when we approved this last year, I don't even remember what the cost was, but I had to ask how many students they serviced of ours because that's 10 months $22,000. And I felt like when we reached out and my memory could be wrong, but I felt like when we reached out to ask those questions, >> yeah,

026>> there wasn't really a lot of like we as I felt like we asked um >> I think that's what happened is I don't think we even got a response because I wanted to see or I was hoping we could see like their budget and where our 20 like what the 22,000 has spent on how many kids are we servicing 100 kids in that 10 months. month or 12 kids in that 10 months. And what is the 22,000 spent on? Is it food? Is it helpers? Is it But I felt like we reached out and they didn't respond. And I >> Well, I've been down there several times. Quite a few kids. >> Yeah. No. And I wasn't >> No, I know what you're saying. >> Yeah. I just felt like I think that I

027would like to know some more information about it just so we know. Um I feel like we did get that but maybe we just didn't share that with you. I don't know. I mean that's not on purpose. >> No, I know. Yeah. But I I I thought we talked about it like >> I'll I'll look at the minutes and then I'll check with Roxanna and and see if that she can provide that information. But the price is the same. So 20, you know, they wanted I think more, but >> Yeah, >> they asked for more. >> Yeah, I think that's what brought it up. >> But I do think I don't know, maybe Dave, Rob can, and Michelle know how many students go over after school. >> I would say it's between five and 10

028a day. And they do a really good job of tracking that. And so if if if the requests were made, I'm sure that they could provide a hard number >> and more despite more just I was curious like what the money goes forward. I'm sure it's a great program and I'm sure they send money. I don't have any reason to think otherwise. I just I felt like we just weren't provided with the information. So I'm curious and from what I understand it talked quite a bit through Risa. Um but it is it does cover some of salary um food and the um activities that they do and then they they have out some other >> I don't know how they get their other >> yeah I think they do a lot of grants they they

029get a lot of grants apply a lot of grants nonprofit >> um they could share that information with us too >> yeah I feel like I would like to know but I don't necessarily think we need to hold up approving it if everybody anything. But I was I was like just out of curiosity. >> I think Eric I think there work everything. So they got I think they have people that will help them with their homework. food. I >> think they actually have little uh captain meet like there's some criteria before you can um play, you know, they have a pool table and whatnot. >> Yeah, meet criteria before you can engage in those activities. >> Yeah, it seems like a really cool place and especially helping with the homework. So, >> yeah, for sure.

030>> Have you heard from them, Rob, or not? We honestly we sent them your way. It's obviously she was right there close to him. >> I haven't broken down this year. >> Okay. Yeah, she I think she'll be reached out um because you're so close. A lot of your students go there. >> Yeah. >> Possible information. >> Yeah. >> Y I've made some notes. >> Um and I'll look at the minutes too because I think you're right. I think maybe we had talked about this last year and and I'll I'll follow up and see if Kim >> I do I do believe we did get something because at one point I didn't know we were going to have it in the budget and so they were sending out >> I can report back next month

031>> or we can we can mail it back out. >> Yeah, you're all right with that. Oh, I >> we have a motion for >> I move that with what's the school district board of directors approve a partnership with wakeups for the after school youth program managed by G center for an annual cost of $22,000. >> Second motion. >> Okay, we have a motion and a second. All in favor? I opposed. No opposed. Motion carries moving on. for the good of the order. It's been a it's been a been a >> been a wild start. been been a lot of tired nights, but uh a lot of good things going. Uh one thing they didn't um talk about is homecoming will be on August or October 4th. The dance will be up at the high

032school. So if you guys want a chap >> Oh, I thought we were good pay. So just come on out with cookies and uh punch. So come on out. But uh the cell phone's been going well. Um the kids they're starting to adapt on the some of the new environment up there. Um the all the field trips are starting to go. Uh FFA's went on their leadership retreat last weekend. A lot of kids are pretty excited about it. So sports are all in full swing right now. Come up Friday night to the first home football game. Volleyball is doing real well across country and so things are going well. Honestly, on the cell phone thing, high school, you guys are going to see it more than anywhere else. Are they are the kids freaking out

033about it or are they honestly? >> It's just it just depends on the person. >> Really? Yeah. I think overall >> how are the teachers liking it? >> Um they like it. Yeah, they like it. >> So, >> it seems like it would help. Yeah, it's it's way too loose at home. >> We were I think we were a little more nervous than than most, but uh >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. >> Trying to tell that in their hand all the time. You can't have it in their hand. >> Policy include teachers >> or a separate >> policy. That's what we were reading initially. >> Yeah. >> Yes. There there are some expectations that we have for teachers as well. Absolutely. >> Yeah. >> A lot of our stuff are all of our emergency stuff.

034A lot of it goes to our bones after so they're all very important and that's there but we do they're not supposed to be >> try to model. >> Yeah. Yeah. We we had a it wasn't just a one pager. I think it was more than a one pager but we >> was it two pages? >> Maybe three. Maybe we we shared Yeah, we shared the expectations kind of this guideline, you know, if you need to use, you know, it's in case of emergency or if you need to use it. But, um, I'm trying to think of the other expectations that were on there. Um, you know, if it's workrelated, you know, and specifically talks about if it's, you know, don't use it for personal, don't be using it during the school day for personal

035personal. Well, since you brought that up, it's a raptor program. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> We haven't We haven't It's not a requirement for our staff to have the Raptor app on their cell phone, but we're encouraging for the kids to be able to, you know, I can just go, you know, we're turning our I mean I go to lock down so I can slide. So I that was probably 10 or 12 seconds right there and then I can initiate a lock or a lock down right now. So we're we're trying to which is another thing that we've talked about a lot about that kind of going against the grain. Don't use your phone and then we have all these apps that are safely related. >> I mean common sense. >> Yeah. youth, you know, but

036that guy Kevin and I were in a meeting and his office said that the high school had an incident and I mean nothing >> but it just the phone went off in the rocker alert. >> We were in the middle of your interview when it went off one time, weren't we? Michelle, was it your No, it was someone. But we were in the middle of an interview one time and it and it went off and we're >> Yeah, someone has a story about the airport. >> I don't know who Oh, that was Emily. Yeah, it goes off at the airport. That's not >> emergency. Rob, >> um, you know, echoing Craig, it's been a little bit of wild start. Uh I am I am discovering it's um middle school is fun and so to our

037wildart in addition to raptor and you know making sure that we're training and using we've actually had two lowrisk but real world opportunities to use a hold and to use a shelter in place. And so uh it's been good because we we've discovered a couple of little bugs and hiccups that we've been able to work out. Uh sports were off and running. We've got three volleyball teams currently undefeated and I've learned the versatility and the skill set that my assistant has because coach Caro is going to keep that streak alive tomorrow. Uh cross country, they've had two meets. Um they placed fourth and third, so we're creeping up. We're moving up in the rankings. Charles Mitchell and Annabelle Gear are our two fastest runners. They're leading it. And we had one of our sixth grade

038students set a new school record at their first cross country meet. Uh football had their first games tonight, but it sounds like seventh grade had a a very close loft. Uh and um and eighth grade will be currently playing leadership. We've got a great leadership crew and so we're excited about what we'll be sending up to the high school. They had an outstanding welcome back assembly. Uh really got into it, had fun, learned that when you're bald, you're going to become a bobblehead. WS7. And so, uh, there's a papier-mâché image of me in my office. Uh, and then we have our first dance. And I'll echo, you know, you're welcome to go to chaperon again. It'll be on the 18th, but our guarantee is I'll have you home by 5:15. >> Yeah. [Applause] And then

039and then finally, just in working with the staff, they've really rallied together uh in working on our PLT models, bringing in some of that information, and they're uh they're ready to go, chomping at a bit to meet with our center for high school success coaches on Friday and really start launching into the the structure, the work of, you know, making those positive impacts on our students. >> Good. Thank you, Anyone? Um well at Looking Glass we have spent the first few weeks making connections with our kiddos, setting expectations and routines. A lot of fun wonderful get to know you activities going on in all the different classrooms. Friday we had our one day that we had kiddos in the building. So it was the one Friday they had to come to school and to celebrate

040we had our very first skate day and it was so much fun. Um, even our little prekers put skates on and they attempted skating for the first time. Um, I think Miss Cara, my prek teacher, at one time had her hand out like this and she had one on a thumb, one on a pinky, and one on the other side and she was trying to get four kiddos down the gym. Um, so it was a lot of fun. We also had a lot of parent volunteers come in and help out with that. So that was exciting. Um, this week we had my K2 team and my 35 team meeting in PLC's looking at their data from the birth benchmarking and starting to place kiddos, get kiddos in intervention and whatnot. And we had some really

041exciting data. We had four of our classes show 50% of the kiddos in the class at or above benchmark already. So that was really exciting. Um, we have some really exciting math PD coming up this Friday looking at our fruit salad, which is not our kiddos. It's a fruit, but how they rotate in math groups. So, we have someone coming in to go over fruit salad routines and whatnot. And then the most exciting share was um Dina Nerburgg from Stanford Children was in my building today. She is like a coach for principles. So, she's coaching us on how to better our leadership and improve our early literacy in our building. And so, it was the first time she had ever been in my building and she walked through, we spent two hours going into classroom

042watching teachers and whatnot, watching instruction. And when we were debriefing, um, one of the great things she said was about our school culture. She said, "Wow, your students um, really feel seen and heard in your building." And so that was great to get to go back to my staff and tell them because they've put so much work into our core values and our mission and vision. And so that just shows that what they're doing is really paying off. Exciting. >> Thank you, D. >> Um yeah, so it's been busy like Tra said, everybody said. Um we were departmentalized this year at McGovern as you know and so we've just been working on a lot of the technical um adjustments to that and how to make that go smoothly has been a lot of our our

043focus um in addition to you know building relationships with the kiddos and um going over expectations and all those things you do at the beginning of the school year. um to support teachers. We have a lot of mentors who are coming into our building. We have mentors from the ENC coming in working with new teachers. Um we have Norma who was our um mentor teacher in the building as well and she'll be working with our newer teachers. We have um our early literacy coach, Crystal Plicket, who came in. She spent two hours with each of our ELA teachers yesterday individually and planned lessons for the next two weeks with them and made sure that they had a a good start. Um, and she'll and she's in our building a lot more this year than last

044year and we're really excited about that. Um, and we have a math consultant coming in. She'll be in later this month to work with math teachers. And then as Emily mentioned, Dana Nerburgg came in. She we walked around and went to the classroom. She also spoke very highly of McGovern culture and um how nice our teachers were to the students, how our students were um yeah and just the good things that we have going on. And then we also talked about things that we need to work on. And so that was really exciting because um that's what we want to be want. Um and then we had a rules rodeo on Friday. We tried to make it a spirit day to see if we can get more kiddos to show up. We have a great

045picture. We'll share it with you guys of all the staff dressed up. So, that was really fun. And we have ways to improve it for next year. Uh we have open house on October 2nd this year. And um we have a lot of new staff this year and a lot of new IAS and I've been really impressed with the work that they've been doing. Um really impressed. very exciting to have that support. Um, and then we have electives for fifth grade twice a week um on Wednesdays and Thursdays for 30 minutes. And our fifth graders have chosen a an elective out of sign language, ukulele, advanced PE, choir, band, and school newspaper. [Music] >> Thank you. Uh, I'm gonna follow the theme of a crazy start. Um, but a great start at Broadway. Um, I

046feel like for me and for our school, things started off really smoothly this fall. Um, little less drama around Brock Race boarding procedures. So, that has been going super well. um we have um established our routines for dropping kids off and coming into school while using the Raptor system. So um I feel really good about that and um we too have been doing all of our benchmark assessing looking at at that data planning um our group. I am really impressed with our new staff that we've hired. So, there's quite a few new classroom teachers um and support staff that have come in and so they have worked really hard to join our Broadway culture and team um and get to know our staff and our students and families. So, that's been great. uh our Friday

047school day, we did um have an all school popcorn and movie day um for those that were here, but really the intent of that was to also give our teachers time to dive into that data together and to really think about how they want to start those um groups and intervention groups. We have made some changes at Parkway a little bit too and how we're providing that and that our staff is pushing into the classrooms more and providing support within that classroom instead of pulling groups out of the classroom. um um with the hopes that um there's a lot more cohesive cohesion in that instruction. So what's happening in our um daily instruction moves into those small groups of that intervention. So um we have open house on the 18th. So um come on down

048and we'll have some ice cream. Uh we're also working on kicking off our booster club. Broccoli hasn't had a real strong booster club for a while. So um I've rallied a few parents to get that going. Um so our first meeting will follow our um open house night uh the following week on Thursday um to get and we have some activities planned uh typically one a month throughout the school year and our research club and our school team work together to host those and provide a fun fun activity or excuse me for families. I want to thank Kyle too and food service. Um, as you can imagine, feeding three to eight year olds twice a day can be really tricky. And, uh, it is running beautifully. Kids are happy about the food that we're serving.

049Um, they're able to manage all the components of getting their stuff and getting to the classrooms for breakfast and enjoying their lunchtime. And Kyle's done a great job. So, I appreciate him.
