001Alex ring camp and he said I he said I just made I I just made some um e e e okay it is four o'clock so uh I think John will open the meeting for us yes will we're gonna open our meeting at CK Elementary or LS meeting it is four four p.m [Music] 4M Miss be a few minutes late and and same thing with Mr Ashworth he's on the way too and Mr as and so we'll stand stay the Pledge of Allegiance and allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all I'm turn the mic to you no camera just m okay that's great well I want to welcome everyone tonight to our lslc meeting
002I'm going to introduce our staff to you as we bring them up to speak to you um they're listed here but as we bring them up I'll introduce them at that point the first thing I want to talk to you about is um enrollment report for school including the Blended and virtual numbers we are currently around 628 students um we're very transient based on location and some other things so uh we go up and down with that number but we're currently at 628 um and we do not have any virtual students the next thing I want to report out to you is our data from the summit of from last spring um the numbers you can see down the page are growth student growth so that's exciting to see first of all all the highlighted
003areas but we're going to just point out a few specifics um we'll start with the summit of third grade ELA uh they were three points higher than the state fourth grade ELA they were 15 above the state 10 above District a fifth grade ELA we were 11 above the state and 10 above the district and I believe that she might we I put an H on there because our fifth grade teachers they were either first or second in the county last year in all three areas we departmentalize so we're very proud of that so um third grade math uh one point above the state fourth grade math seven above the state fourth above the district fifth grade math was in double digits on both 26 above the state and 22 above the district we're very
004proud of those scores U science very proud of these as well she had very very high science scores nine above the state and eight above the district um so again we uh celebrated that uh the next thing I want to share with you is on that test we had F 56 students that scored exceed standards in ela 83 that scored exceed standards in math and 14 that had exceed standards in science which would have been fifth grade only uh now for the star that we took this school year from fall to winter uh one thing I want to point out is there was double digit growth in all grade levels so uh 17 uh points uh for second 14 third 12 points for fourth and fifth grade was 10 points uh the average overall at
005winter Benchmark was 14 points growth um in ela so for math we were nine points in growth for second 14 for third eight for fourth 15 for Fifth and 12 points overall so anytime we have double digit growth we're very excited one thing down at the bottom uh is the caci is the state Benchmark um and uh we were double digits in all of that so I thought that was very exciting so I wanted to share that with you okay let's go over [Applause] on the second page after analyzing the winter data uh we set a goal of 65% for schoolwide growth because we know that on the star they want to hit 60% as proficiency so our Summit of targets for this year are 52.3 five in ela and 45 in math um so
006we are announcing and celebrating most growth on All Star assessments from September to December and also those that moved to green and exited out of intervention so we try to celebrate both of those because that's exciting we'll give you some intervention data here in just a few minutes um we also recognize growth at the end of each six weeks number three uh was to report on Intervention practices including number of tier two and tier three students we current last year we had uh four intervention teachers we had two part-time and two fulltime this year we only have two part-time so that kind of lowered the numbers that we could assist on students there so these numbers look a little bit different than last year but that's based on staff we currently have a total of
00771 students in tier two and tier three uh last year we Serv us 124 but that was with two full-time interventionists as well as the first semester 32 students have tested out of intervention so we thought that was pretty exciting last year there were 48 at this point so with two part-time we still tested out 32 students into the into Mastery uh we had two part-time reading interventionist this year we currently have 59 students waiting on the reading list meaning they could utilize intervention uh if we had slots in time um ecads are providing some of those supports as expected uh we also and we're going to talk to you a little bit about this later is math intervention we have 93 students that could utiliz math intervention as well I want to mention just
008Vex robotics uh really quick they're actually in Vex right now so they couldn't come and present they have students right now but we have four Vex robotics teams with Tera lockart and Britney board leading them uh 16 students participate 11 boys and five girls and we have hosted three competitions this year at cks so the next thing we want to present to you is the report on social emotional learning and student mental health and I want to introduce Miss web to you our school counselor and Mary Malarkey School based therapist is she she's over there there she is there's Mary so we're very fortunate to have Mary and we want to thank you for providing that for us this year uh they're going to uh go over that with you okay um hopefully you can
009hear me not afraid of being super loud I'm louder than her we've configured this in mon but yes we have so I thought this quote by Stephen cubby was very fitting because beginning with the end in mind that's a lot of what a good school counseling program should do like I do feel like this is the only preventative mental health care that a lot of times people were ever exposed to often times I'll be working with a little person who's got a big emotion and I think to myself man this is the kind of stuff that literally keeps people out of jail later when they Master these skills I mean it does and it impacts their learning too um so I'm the school counselor here KAIT and I'm Mary Malarkey so I'm actually contracted through
010prera um I do a lot of the tier three well all of the tier three here um but we'll get more into that and like what that Scopes out and the difference between our jobs um so I think it's always important when we're talking about mental health to just talk about adverse childhood experiences it's called Asus um it's an assessment that has about 10 questions on it talks about um things that kids are exposed to up to the age of 18 years old they' got a PowerPoint down here I don't mean to interrupt but they're also okay just Mak sure you and ases it the higher number that kids score on this exam it it makes it kind a way we can measure their trauma like how much trauma do you have unfortunately so later
011impacts like Health like the physical change in your health when you're older um your it can increase heart disease and diabetes and um give you more apt to have a stroke you're four times more likely to um have depression um when you're exposed to these adverse childhoods experiences um so I put like a little clip in here to kind of give you more of a understanding of what it is and how important it is to us [Music] experiences called faes are stressful or traumatic experiences that occur in childhood like violence abuse and growing up in a family with substance use or mental health problems when a caring adult or supportive environment doesn't soften those adverse experiences or when they are ongoing or overwhelming they can lead to a prolonged activation of our stress response called
012toxic stress think of toxic stress like this our bodies were designed to escape Predators quickly imagine you walking through the woods and you see it there your brain signals your body to release stress hormones like adrenaline sorry I was trying to get your body prepares you to either fight or run from a bear and that's useful if you're in the forest and there's a bear har is when children rights to their physical and emotional safety and this system is activated over and over and over again what was meant to protect you begins to do the opposite and becomes damaging to your health creating long lasting wear on your body and brain children are especially vulnerable to the effects of Aces and toxic stress because their brains and bodies are still developing the toxic stress from
013Aces and other adversities such as poverty racism discrimination and natural disas can disrupt the functioning of vital bodily systems simply put toxic stress can result in long-term mental and physical health conditions not only that the effects of Aces can be passed from parent to child for Generations through the biological changes and behaviors associated with Aces and toxic stress the person with four or more acents is twice as likely to suffer from heart disease cancer and four times as likely to develop depression and 12 times as likely to attempt suicide the good news is that safe stable relationships and environments and other interventions such as physical and mental health support can reduce the risk of Asis leading to toxic stress and stress related health conditions to learn more visit www.g CA so that is a glimpse
014at what the Asis is um and it it literally changes your body's response to things so like your fear your heart rate um becomes shallow your breathing becomes shallow your muscle tension and you're having to do all these things when in response to stress that you might not even be exposed to the stress that triggered that response um and going to a school is big this one and um you know just being exposed to other relationships and people around us we don't know how to interact with other people so a lot of the things that we do is like the emotional regulation and all that is like it's essential and vital for kids to understand like how important it is to be able to deal with those things appropriately because we look at kids a
015lot of the time and I can never talk about trauma without saying um you know like it's not what's wrong with that kid or you know what it is it's what happen to them and I try to always keep that in mind it's kind of like a trauma inform formed care um that's invoked in my brain um because it is it's always what happened to them like nobody wants to act out nobody wants to have those kinds of behaviors and what is that behavior communicating what what need does that child have to be okay to be back to based on but some of our kids unfortunately live in a state of toxic stress and it's a lot more than what I'm comfortable with honestly it's a lot um and I don't know how she's done
016it all these years by herself being by her side and doing it um it's been a lot um I step in and help where and when I can um and it's helpful and I think we work really well together um but I'm not always able to um you know provide my services because I'm having to meet one-onone with kids but um she does a great job with what she does um so Al 63.9% of us adults have experienced at least one ace was 17.3% experiencing four more um according to the United Health foundations West Virginia is ranked 44 out of the 50 states with the highest value of a spes I think that speaks volume um because the things on that list of the assessment is things that no kid should have to Ender like
017abuse having a disability discrimination domestic violence in your house incarceration um not being with the parent parent separation things of that sort so it's things that we don't always typically look at when we look at a kid's behavior that I think's vital and is really important yeah um so here you can just see like it our needs are growing um every year I do A needs assessment or have made that a part of my practice within the last few years because it's been very helpful and helping me get a a glimpse at our big population and um there's a question on there I go in the classrooms this is part of my usual first lesson that I do with them and it's I use like a Google um know Outlet form so it I can
018export everything into Excel which helps me look at it and see where the needs are very quickly um but there's a question do you need to see the school counselor about something is there something going on that you feel you need to talk about and even from last year that that Rose from 77 kids asking for a one-onone to 113 and then you can see there the severity that they they perceived their issue to be um and some of it ranges from I'm upset with my friend or somebody yelled at me on the way to school to I don't have food or someone's getting beat up home um but you know to a kid any issue can be a big deal and some of them they're normal unfortunately shouldn't be normal um here's just a
019glimpse of kind of what's been going on in our school um and you can see there like kind of the number of sessions is is growing um this is just during my time at CK first year I was split between two schools so I wasn't here as much and that that's probably part of the reason why those sessions are lower but last year we I saw 153 individual students and it spanned 4 72 sessions um this year I'm already at 148 s individuals as of the 25th of February spanning 355 sessions I often feel like I can't get through everybody that's needing scene and I'm depending on teachers to help me triage and referrals weekly two to three kids weekly that I've been getting referrals over the last like month and then so we've had
020n CPS referrals this year um I think three threat assessments and that's just using our County form to determine is this really a threat or not and do we need to pass it on or not and then for suicide R triage assessments this has surprised me the amount of kids that have suicidal adiation in elementary school and self harm it's it's really surprised me and it's made me really sad that that's um something we have to address at such a young age our kids and then here's just some of that in a different a different way for you to look at it the grade represents um the student scene and the her grade level if you need a breakdown like that and then the grade is the amount of sessions or times that I pull
021them now my work is more um School counseling we are supposed to be solution Focus breath um we're not trained to have kids in our office for like an hour sometimes it has to be that way because that's what the kid means um and Below you can see the modalities that I kind P from um I do lot I try my best to stick to solution Focus brief but sometimes people need different things so I may pull from cognitive behavior looking at how you're thinking how your thoughts affect your feelings what what feeling are you having why are you having that feeling what do we need to do to get you to a better feel um emotionally focused reality grief a lot of grief counseling unfortunately different things um neurodiversity affirming behavior intervention that's become
022a big thing here uh probably across our country but as more people are getting diagnosed with ADHD autism we need a lot more help with social skills and practicing how we stand up for ourselves how we communicate um lots of pricess response um executive functioning strategies like some kids I had a kid today who was upset because he he like had trouble not blurting and like he know he knows that we're helping you be comfortable um managing your your load and how do we manage time what systems okay you may have a deficit here but what systems can I teach you to put in place to help with that one of the ones I deal with a lot is empathy and teaching kids empathy you would be surprised to know the number of kids that
023do not feel empathy at at all because they're not exposed to that at home you know like it's some things are not always taught um early on um so that's something that they're having to learn later and we're having to teach them I think that's essential too so this is me this is what I do I'm a part of the Esh Grant which is expanded School Mental Health um Grant it's a um Grant that's funded by the state um it's also funded by West Virginia DHHR and um the Weare Federal grant I'm not sure how fam you guys are with that but um what I do I'm here and I'm at Pritchard and I also do outpatient at Wake County and drug and Drug Port so I'm here three days out of the week um
024Wednesday through Friday typically um and I do one-on-one services so the Esh Grant is a tier one tier two and tier three services so she provides the tier one and tier two I do the tier two and the tier three so the tier tier one is the promotion and prevention it's for all students um so the tier two is the atrisk students um early intervention that's where I SCH a lot of the Lunch Bunch groups that we do um we spend roughly two hours a day doing Lunch Bunch sometimes it's one sometimes it's two but most of the time um but during lunch Bunch it's a time where we're teaching these skills and we're asking you know like things that are what are what's hard you know what's going on asking about their day and
025some of the things that these kids learn out so as she's talking I kind of like do a little side thing you know like I'll sit down and I get a lot of my referrals doing that because selfer they self- refer can you call my mom and see if I can talk to you you know um because I would love to meet with all these kids but because of my job and commitments other commitments I'm not able to sit down and do it unless they're on my schedule and I have that parental consent that's not to say that I don't you know engage with her if she's overloaded and has a couple students like I'll grab them and talk to them too she has to BU Insurance unless it's like a crisis response kind of
026thing to do the intakes for the kids that I receive um for referrals myself um so the tier ones her we both do the tier two and then the tier three is the therapy that's the one-on-one that I do with the kids um set on my schedule every week um there's only one kid that I have that lives with Mom and Dad um out of my whole case load and I think that that speaks volumes majority of them are with grand parrot or other um members of their family and I think that that just goes without saying how hard these kids' lives really are um they are it's it's not you don't have to have the Grant in order to be a part of ush um it's a model that is used um and you
027do have to have parental consent I don't know what else left out I do teleah Health Services as well so even through the summer um I will still be meeting with these kids regularly for the parents that will allow me to um probably maybe if she'll let me do it here at the schools in the summer otherwise I'll be at the Pressa offices or we're allowed to meet at The Parks or playgrounds or you know whatever is convenient for the parent I'm willing to work with them um on doing so they don't have that Gap um of the summer and we can continue to build our relationship and rep for and you know um help them work they need to be helped um but those intensive interventions for those high-risk kids um it's so important
028my ones that want an hour or I'm not getting even 30 minutes is a lot in School counseling day if you're teaching lessons like my ones that need more and I know I try to get them to go to her but not always will parents agree to that yeah even if it's what their kidneys um this is like just kind of an image of our lunch punch participation they also kind of um during our needs assessment at the beginning of the year they they've let me know if they want to do this or not and it's become a thing they all really enjoy it um we do check in with them but we're also doing work like we have to attend to some work and and the work that we're doing is more rooted in
029cognitive behavioral therapy like what thoughts are you having um if they're negative how is that serving you how can we shift that and we're using a program called positive actions this year um that Sarah has provided for us they seem to like it and there you can see um I'm really happy with the amount of kids the percent of participation that we have they get so excited like we walk in that door at lunchtime and they literally all come running to us like are we going today are we going today and if you're not in here they're checking the have Duty they are checking I'll like I'll be walking down the hall and they'll go is it my DayDay like I don't know check the door this is like friendships too and a of belonging
030it gives them something to look forward to and it gives them a way to like realize that they connect with other students in a way that they wouldn't talk about in the class because they're sharing like they share their pit their load point and they share their Peak their high point that up there's their lunch punch room uh so we've we have blamed storage area and it as best as we could and it's it's it works nice now it's convenient yeah it um okay and then here this is a more moner one um I feel like to be honest with you our kids could use a lot more um I'm lucky if I get in everywhere once a month I try to do as much as I can um but there you can just kind
031of see like I have six Kinder barten classes and I try to remember to pull in all the special we that that aren't in the two rooms that I physically go in and it it takes a while to just get through everyone and give them what they need this year of used too good for drugs thankful to have that program and Bradley Jordan and uh Sean have helped get me refills on that which I greatly appreciate uh because you know copying at a school this size can be an issue um it The copier is always in high demand um I try to make sure my lessons are in alignment with the American School counseling Association and West Virginia Department of EDS Student Success standards um it's one thing being very honest with you and this
032is kind of why I put wears Waldo in the background it's not uncommon for me to be in the middle of teaching and my phone ring usually it happens at least once a day and somebody's like hey this kid's crying can you come help and I'm like well I'm kind of in the middle of a lesson with 20 kids right now uh and then I'll try to coordinate while with them and wolf teaching so that's kind of that's kind of sometimes a thing um but everybody here does work really well together um Miss Trader all of our principles will come show up yeah she they've played a big part in it too um there's one kid on my Cas Lo that we had a meeting with um and he's improved drastically with s Trader and
033Miss barley that they included me on their meeting so that we could all work together to get him on track as he wasn't doing so great there for a little while um the collaboration is great and the communication between our staff I feel like that's wonderful and it's rare um it is very rare I've worked in this field since 2016 so um not super long but I've been in a lot of schools um and I've seen a lot of kids and the way that this Administration works together with one another and communicates it's like no other it really is Miss barley she's constantly constantly on it like everything she doesn't wait sure that prolong things if something needs done that gets done um same with Caitlyn she's been great I love that I'm next to
034her so that we can our offices are up out each other it helps so much um because we're able to use each other there's supplies you know somebody's crying and I am somewhere or maybe have someone comes looking for and I'm like you know I can help you even though she does she's not getting a bill for that with her job but she will and I appreciate that because it's it is needed um but with that being said I do feel like I barely get to scratch to the surface and I do feel like School counseling lessons social emotional lessons they're not getting this any other place most of the time it is important it does impact their learning being able to regulate your emotions does impact your focus like these are all skills that
035every adult needs to be successful that they get to learn in in School counseling um if you wait till later in life it makes it a lot harder for them because then they go to get their first job and they're not able to take instruction from their boss or they flip out on a customer they're really upset I've done two jobs for five years so I love I love it here in doing this or I wouldn't still been doing two jobs but my other job I do therapy and I can tell you it's very similar sometimes the adults that I work with sometimes you're on a lower level emotionally than the kids because they didn't have this they weren't raised knowing how to pay attention to this kind of stuff um if data's a admin's
036love language classroom God insist meat and potatoes at Elementary School counseling really feel that way that's where we we make those changes when I have to do body safety we start body safety next week that's always a lesson that is hard it's always hard part of me dreads it but I also know that it's so important it's the law it's the law for a reason um every single year I had multiple kids come forward and share that something like that has happening to them or is currently happening to I feel like change occurs more if it's more likely to hurt the age of like Elementary School school kids because I've worked a lot with teenagers and one thing I know is once they get in that brain of this is who I am this is
037what I've been taught those poor beliefs are embedded in them from childhood um and it's really hard to adapt and change at that point um so nailing it like before they get to that Middle School level and understanding like this is a part of my growth and this is the things that are really important and they're going to allow me to be successful um it it can change their whole trajectory their life literally like it it would remodel they've done scans where the brain the physical brain changes when trauma occurs if you scan somebody that's healthy and you scan somebody with a lot of adverse childhood experiences the brain looks completely different so that goes without saying these things that takes Babys sets the body keeps theore is a good book for more information on
038that and then um here you can just see some ratios like the American school counselor Association recommends 250 to1 counselor um in 2324 the national average was 376 to1 during 2324 our state had an average of 309 to one and then according to zoom in our County the average currently this is amongst all of our schools is 259 to one and then here right now we're um 627 to one so we gladly take more help if if that ever becomes a possibility and I hate to even say that during Rift season but it it is needed because I do often feel like I'm dropping the ball and I I try not to I try to triage people but everybody's not getting their needs met because they can't get it done in one day just very
039bluntly telling you that um thank you and here's a link if you need more information I appreciate your guys's time thank you I think I did oh yeah thank you okay we appreciate both of you and the information and the job that you do okay at this time miss mana's going to go over attendance data and attendance interventions um I'm in charge of the students attendance and I put in the computer talk to them um the first six weeks we had an attendance rate of 94.7 and I was really excited um we also had 255 students on the first six weeks that had perfect attendance at that time great second six weeks we went down just a tad which wasn't too bad we hit 9 4.3 226 with per attendance and then the third place
040we said flu a flu B Co trip and all the great things came we still were at 93 and we only had 152 but we had 38 students that eared C attendant for the first semester so I was really happy with that as the weather's getting warmer we're going to let them go out on the um the Garden area I mean the court area out here we're going to have ice cream with them when the weather gets warmer I'm sorry with the data that we have up here we've decided that we're going to try to set a goal for the four six weeks to have a 95% attendance rate for this for the uh for six weeks and by the end of the year we'd like to have a 96% um on February 25th our
041chronically absent percentage was only 14.6% which was really good because the Count's absent chronically absent was 2439 so we were really below them so I was really happy about that we've gone down some too dur that time now um this is something this is a saying that I put on my door because I really believe this there is a direct correlation between regular School attendance and student achievement we're committed to establishing early habits for regular School attendance and students by laying the groundwork for their ongoing and future success setting goals is essential for the students to be made aware of how important we think attendance is at our school and I want their parents parents to know that as well because when you're working with little kids a lot of times attendance is not there
042it's not all just up to them their parents have to be made aware of it also so as we um as I just said we use the the data from up the top to set the goals but every day like on point B I call the parents daily when the kids are out and I tell the parents I'll say I want to call and check on your child and see how they're doing if they're sick give them a hug tell them I missed them we want them back at school and I want to make a connection with that parent and let them know that I love their kid I tell kids every single day I love him I want to see him back at school and I want to make that connction for the parents
043and the parents really say they appreciate you call me call and checking on the kids so I hope that helps Angie is doing some meetings that are helping great too celebrating attendance is a critical part of our success when she started PBIS we included attendance in that as well and for a while we did U for the last year and this part of the year we would have um attendance meetings and we would give them a badge and we would take pictures and they were doing great I know the last one we had Mrs West class highest we've ever had had a 99.3 attendance rate for the month of uh January she only had three students without perect attendance that month it was great they had one miss Cole's class was second with 97.3 and
044no one had below a 92 six so I was really proud of them and um but we decided that we all got together and talked about it and we decided to mix things up the last part of the year so in February we said and we're going to do a dance for all the kids with perfect attendance we had a dance during their PE time and all the kids with perfect attendance during their PE time they got to have a dance and they L that didn't they last last um last Friday I think they got to do a dance on their no not Friday morning here on Thursday they got to have a dance for their prict attendance and now in um March we're going to do March Madness like basketball for the tardies but
045we're just going to concentrate on the tardiness we don't want them to have any tardies so every morning I'm going to give Miss Farley a list of the of the classrooms that had no tardies for the day before I've already got the list ready for in the morning and um we're going to keep track and the kids have no taries for the month of February get to go over and shoot hoops and play basketball on the last day of the month we're going to try to do something with maybe behavior and attendance on the month of April and have something to do with an eggnut so we're trying to mix it up and let them have some games with it too as well so anything that we can do with attendance to celebrate it and
046make it happy and make them know that we want to celebrate attendance and have them here because it means a lot for to be at school we have a blls board out in the hallway you can see when you go out it's CK is the place to be and every month I try to put a picture of the students that were there every day and for the month we we give them their brag tag we take their pictures and um the bees on there say we want them to be here every day we want them to be on time we want them to be ready so this this Pon board just goes over what we want for them every day and I love for their pictures up on the board they like to come by
047and see so I love attendant I love the kids I like to here every day and we're trying to get him here thank you okay at this time Miss Trader is going to talk about uh the another attendance intervention and discipline report on the number of out School suspensions and positive behavioral supports being utilized at school and Miss Franklin will jump in in a minute our special ed teacher and sat leader and give you a couple dates updates on Sat hello um this year as you probably know the attendance director has instructed all the schools to have site meetings for people who are strugging with attendance um our attendance really isn't that bad here um but our punctuality is so we have a lot of kids that just drag in tardy and I mean some
048of them have four kids in the car and then that's four different classrooms that's um disrupted and and it's a it's well it's a lot of kids we have a lot of kids and if they're coming in late is just a big disruption not only to their learning but to everybody else in their class so we've been cing through our attendance data to locate students we who have less than 90% attendance so we are doing those meetings with those people but also um we're looking at taries as well so um when I see some students are late habitually I'm not talking 8:00 sometimes it's 9:30 or 10 and I don't think sometimes parents understand what they're like I don't know if they think they're just coloring until their kid gets there I don't know but
049um that's the importance of our SAT meetings and I was really nervous about doing this but it they have been we've only had one parent who was confrontational and found we found out she drives by two other schools to get here so get get here on to um but anyway one parent uh we we had a meeting with and um one of she's got two daughters one of them H really has a docu like we have the documentation that she has a medical issue um she she really can't sit in line our drop off line is long but we are out here at 6:55 so they've got and there gaps in it so there are plenty of opportunities to get the these kids here on time they all want to come in on two wheels
050at 7:35 is what happens so um with this with this family you know since she did have a medical you know we have the medical documentation we gave her permission to park at the wonderdome and walk her girls in that has helped a lot um it's it's not to where I want it to be but it is you know it is getting better um we had we had some other people who I really don't think that I think it's one of those things um you get what you allow and so when we're when we're pulling the parent in here to talk to them they're like oh you know um and when we have the teacher in with in the site meetings and our communities and schools liaison she she goes above and beyond offering help
051one student it was a breakfast issue and he was like um she said can you bring him in here on time he can come right to my office and get breakfast I mean we have breakfast here but um sometimes it's just an excuse and we have we have options for those um and when we get the parents in these meetings with the teacher and they say look Mrs Shoemaker first grade one of her one of her meetings that she was in she said look I teach phonics at this time and if they're not there they missed a whole phonics lesson I can't go back and teach it again in because I've got to teach all these other kids everything else and um you know they when they see okay you know that's a big deal
052they're if they're not coming in till 8:30 they missed all of their reading so that's what um that's what we're doing in these meetings they're non-confrontational we um you know we bring them in usually sometimes they're nervous and I'll say listen we're just here to help we're here to help you um find a uh a you know a u what am I trying to say solution what can we do to help you get your kid here on time because it's important and we want them to know it's important and not you know not just so um Terry ly Queen looks and says you you guys are doing a great job but because these kids who are here late every day are they're missing something and they can't get that time back so it's important um
053so we've had like I said uh our meetings are non confrontation we we you know we we're very nice and we uh we come up with Solutions with them um sometimes they'll say you know it's my fault and I'm sorry and I'll do better and you know it is the parents fault because these kids aren't driving themselves to school um so far we've had initial sat attendance set meetings with 22 students parents of 22 students of these nine were scheduled up for follow-up me meetings because they did not comply with the plan um I've been scheduling meetings yesterday and today um we've got 10 more in the works initial initial sites for attendance and punctuality um we are uh when I say we're very non-confrontational if we have a follow-up meeting I my backbone gets
054a little stiffer I told teacher today my back bones get stiffer every day um me go ahead with PBIS um uh PBIS this is the third year for us we're still trying to to get there um we have added Educator's handbook I don't know if you guys are uh um familiar but I I had D print off a print off on one student this is the data we can get Behavior data when we're looking at this um so this is one student I took the name out but this one student you can see is this sheet right here had five referrals and we could see you know what the actions were we had a restorative conference twice redirection once this student had did have one out of school suspension it tells you the time of
055you know what days of the week what time of day so if it's somebody that's getting in trouble at the same time every day we can kind of see what's going on at that time um the next page it tells you this kid's all over the place but um tells you where it happened what the offenses were who the employee was that that put the data in Educator's handbook um and then the last two pages is docu written documentation so we can look and say who did this or who put this student um referral in and their documentation exactly what happened um and uh so when we go if we have a a student who uh needs an FBA for example a functional Behavior assessment we've got all kinds of we can just I can
056just print it off my computer right now and see what we've already done with the student um as far as out of school suspensions this year I forgot to write it down but um I believe it was five different students and no no more than two consecutive days for any of those and a couple of those students were um students with IVs who um we just needed to come up with a better plan when they come back so uh you know we're not trying to suspend kids we don't put every single thing we do with behavior in weave us because they're still babies we do put the suspensions in there because that needs to be documented okay that's all I have is good you can do Awards oh I forgot that we can also we
057had to pay extra for this but um if if a if a teacher wants to you know send a message to the office that this kid needs a shout out they could put that in there too and so I try to print those off every day and at least every week and we give them a shout out over the intercom so it's good thank you m hey Miss Franklin if you want to share some s they should have a copy of that as well um the SAT yours is collared looks like has the boxes on it got so I'm the SAT leader one of them um so I just wanted to present you with some data um I also am a teacher so um at the beginning of the year we had 73 students inide
058um roughly about 30 minutes per sat meeting um so that is 36 and a half hours I am out of the classroom at the beginning of the year to do SAT meetings um I feel that this is a lot of time away from my kids um I feel like it does affect their test scores because we are such a large school we have I mean we H probably need more kids in set just like we have more kids that could benefit from Intervention but um so we started with 73 uh five students were exited from sat because they um Behavior or academics improved six students qualified for special education three students moved out of out of our school 12 students were referred and qualified for a 504 plan uh five of those set students were
059gifted referrals so right now we have 42 students in set so that equals about 21 hour hours and we have to have these meetings every 45 days so as soon as I get through the whole list of s I'm starting again for the next review meeting um so uh at the bottom it says has to be held every 45 school days um when I have a set someone rers them I have to have that within 10 school days so I try to schedule my SATs on Fridays so that's the only day I'm out of the week has maybe happened twice this school year because if I get a new referral I have to have it within 10 school days so I am out of the classroom at least one and a half to three hours
060every single week to do sets so that is one and a half to three hours that I am not giving instruction or co- teing um so then I'm also spending a lot of time on the next page um you know making the SAT schedule filling out notices making copies uh filling out the paper sending alerts reminders preparing the meeting work um then if they get referred to 504 or special education I'm making copies of that giving those to the appropriate people um it's just a lot of a lot of time um the next one is um for the 504 uh that's not me but um 504 we have 36 students currently on a 504 with one waiting for their itial so that's approximately um between 27 and 36 hours of school year so that's at
061least one hour a week so far that the 504 coordinator is out of the classroom not giving instruction because she has to have the 504 meetings so it's um I feel like with such a big school we could really benefit if we had a position that was sat 504 and then when they're not doing Sater 504 we have a lot of students that need reading intervention and a lot of students that could benefit from math um so I just want you all don't have a copy of this because I'll just show like this is my schedule of how much I'm out of the classroom these every block is when I'm out so this is September this is how I'm October so you see it's not just on Fridays like I had originally wanted November December
062this one's February so the SAT leader is you know I get that we have to have it and we have you know but I just really think that it we could really benefit if it was an its actual own position with a SAT 504 because our kids are benefiting from the SAT but then the SAT coordinator you know we're out of the classroom so much that it is it's it's affecting our students um it's affecting Behavior because I'm not in there to co- te or pull kids who need extra help um so I just wanted to present all of this um and we're only losing five fifth graders so next year we're we will still be at this plus all of the Kinder new kindergarteners that will be referred next year so um and that
063schedule is not that's just someone else does fourth and fifth grade sets so that's just kindergarten through third somebody else has uh there's 10 fourth and fifth graders so she's pulled out of the classroom to do those set meetings every single every 45 days so I just wanted to give you guys a little bit of data about the need for um I don't know how what the solution is but we need to come up with some sort of solution on how to balance it out um because it's a lot a lot a lot of work and I love doing it I love doing the paperwork and helping the students and all that um but I'm also missing out time with my students so I just wanted to give you guys little that thank you m
064okay next uh we have our PTO next year's President coming up Miss Hodge and she would like to share just a little bit with you on what PTO has accomplished this year hi how you guys doing good how are you I'm good I am Sarah Hodge I am one of the vice presidents of the PTO right now and I just wanted to go some things that we have done for the school and for the kids this year so far um I would also like to say that we have a very motivated group on the PTO year and we work hard to do as much as we can for the kids and are always looking for new ideas um some of the things that we have done this year we did Grandparents Day um Grandparents Day
065is when the school invites grandparents to come down and either have lunch or breakfast with with their grandkids and we also have a Scholastic Book Fair going on at that time and then after they shop they go out and get pictures made our um secretary Rachel Perry made three took 364 pictures printed them off and gave them all to the students uh we do a Halloween the school does a Halloween parade the students and the staff dress up walk down Beach Street and around to Route 60 Burger King over here in the back to the school and we provide treat bags of candy for them um we also have a Christmas movie that we do every year in the Wonder and we provide snacks such as popcorn or cookies um our upcoming events are we
066have field day we do field day out here on the field and our PTO members help with those along with many volunteers that we can get uh we provide t-shirts for the fifth grade graduation and of course we have to pay for saacks and the phonics which this year is only $113,000 um in order to in order for us to have these events we have to fundraise our fundraisers this year so far have been we did um at our open house we sold t-shirts and decals and we made about $2,500 off of that we've had two Scholastic Book Fairs and the total of those were $832 and we had same's Workshop we made $372 off that and we have by weekly snack sales um through January so far we've made $1,066 um so right now
067we're at a total of around $1 14,179 um thank you all so much I appreciate everything you all have done for us thank you thank you thank you Miss and when she said Saxon phic is only 13,000 that's because last year they started a new series it was 20,000 and they raised every bit of that but just a few dollars for us so I can't brag enough on our PTO and these ladies up here that help my job or make my job a lot easier every day so I appreciate everybody here and of course you all as well I just want to go over a couple highlights um I'm not going to read those to you um I know you all have another meeting next um but there are a couple things I wanted to
068point out to you um if you'll go to the last page there just a couple concerns I wanted to talk to you about and I know some of them are already being addressed but I just kind of wanted to share some information with you we do know that extra classrooms are still needed and I know that project is um ongoing um but we are still you know in that need we did we were able to put a special ed classroom where um we had one of the prek that is no longer in the building so that has been very helpful we have a full special ed classroom in there this year so that was awesome so thank you for however that was worked out um this is something that goes with the data that Miss
069Franklin presented from sat um we have and we've given you all the data on this so I don't know if if I mean if one person could do this position or whatever you know you could possibly consider but we could certainly use some more intervention we could certainly use a you know a part-time sap person so if somehow those positions were combined if they could do intervention sa and 504 um and with a school this size it's a lot and this they do everything that's asked of them these meetings are always on time there's never out of compliance um so you know they make it work but it's a law with the school this size so if that could be considered in any way I don't know if you could combine that position or not
070um but if we would really appreciate your consideration with that also with the counseling um if you would please consider looking at the numbers and data that Miss web presented to you we certainly could use another position there or a halftime that is here every day that maybe a split somewhere else or that type of thing but um her numbers continue to grow we know why with all the needs that students are facing emotionally and socially um you know and she definitely goes above and beyond and um does an amazing job at the East playground over here it's still having some draining issues uh we've talked about that they've looked at it the city came up they said you know they might be able to help with it as well they did come and look
071and he felt like the tube or the drain was maybe too small for the load that's coming out so he thought that maybe a larger drain size would help with that um but it stays covering half almost half of that playground when it rains heavily and then if it's cold it freezes and I know the county has worked diligently over the years since we've been here at CK to in the new building to get that cleared up and drained but we it is still an issue and and affecting you know them getting to go out for recess and we all know that kids need recess and they're also part of our PE minutes um this is something I want to talk to you just a minute about um I'm asking if you could please consider
072letting us pay over time on the first day a substitute is absent due to the amount of rooms that are assigned to custodian in our school and considering the large area and the large amount of bodies I mean almost all of our rooms have 20 to 28 students it often becomes a major issue affecting you know teacher affecting their day when we can't have a substitute um or not a substitute because there's often not a substitute but to pay overtime for our GS or gals here um we gave you a copy of how many rooms that they all have um so if Peak the person in Peak back here is not here and we don't we can't pay somebody three hours overtime on the first day there's two four six eight 10 12 rooms that
073do not get clean and then it kind of really affects the teacher as well um so it's that important that I put it on here and I just ask that you look at that and and reconsider that um I don't know if it's something you have to do for the whole County but we have a large amount of students that make you know more less than you know just a small amount of students and um when one person is out it's quite a bit of area that is not covered and most of those rooms on the first page have a bathroom so yellow has 10 rooms and 10 bathrooms so that's that's what's being missed if we can't pay somebody overtime for that so it's a lot and um we're a large school and you
074wouldn't believe how it affects um morale in the classroom with the teacher when it's not clean so that would probably if I had to Mark anything on there that might be close to the top um but again I want to thank you for always supporting us um they fixed the lights this week um and a lot of our plumbing that needed done anything else that they they've been working on our air we've had some issues with that so I want to thank you for um getting them down here and providing all the services we appreciate everything you all do for us and um those are really the only big concerns that we have that we'd like for you to consider how is the uh how's Carnegie going the math curriculum Carnegie's uh we have actually
075Danielle is coming tomorrow and uh the guy is coming next week uh so everything's going well with that we've had lots of support with that I feel like our scores um are showing that it's you know working um and doing its job uh we do have some areas that still need need some support um you know teachers of course I have as principal have always given them the freedom to teach their standards and pull in supplemental curriculums so we still have some areas where you know teachers feel like you know okay I still need to bring in some other things to you know meet all the standards but third fourth and fifth they're not using anything else uh K2 we're still providing some support there um and bringing in a few things as they're still
076learning the program and navigating uh some of the support we have to provide is you know navigation through the program and learning that so we're still working on some of that but the validity and third fourth and fifth um most teachers love it we've seen in our test SC I just want to say as a special education teacher I use it and I love it because it's my kids are not out of same Pace but they are still getting the standards they're still getting what you know General students are getting I I love it I I think it my math has gone above since like what I was using and that's one thing we saw with our fourth grade I walked in and saw a group of teachers I they didn't even see me and
077I walked in you had a veteran teacher a new teacher and and they were going through a lesson and watch them bounce off each other and see how it was going to play out and they were just they love to do that they said they do it every day during planning just to make sure and see how it's going to go they really embraced it they really have and one thing that I think we saw with growth with our fourth grade co- teing group um it was unbelievable we don't usually see that with the teaching group and the growth in that math class was unbelievable so that's where we've seen a lot of difference as well is with the special ed students um they're getting it they're able to follow it and and do well
078with it so and your ecaps have been expanded to second grade and I know we've talked a lot about intervention needs right are we seeing any success with the ecats in the room being able to provide yeah all they often you know they'll go in when we do our walkthroughs they're leading small group they're pulling students under the direction of teachers of course that's not the same as a teacher presenting that but they are all we are very blessed with our ecats and who got the positions but you know they are all working doing small group pulling out uh trying to meet that need um with things but often they need to do a you know a group and retach and that type of thing but our need is so large here it just can't
079be met by the ecats during instructional day and then your uh your state Benchmark data is is really good thanks I was looking at the district this morning and um you know I know we've got a data meeting coming up but it it was impressive so there you know give everybody a pat on the back because the yeah the work that's being done is is obvious and then the chronic absence rate um again we're not all the way through our data meetings but that's the lowest I've seen so far so some very positive things right what's your ecats are are they going through your um days as well as your teachers so we're including them which is expected you know they they attend our plc's and sometimes kindergarten will attend the plc's as well but
080uh one two always does okay good much as we can utilize them oh yeah and we are and like I said we're very fortunate that we have strong um eats because we uh they're able to do that you know some need more support than others but I can say that we've got a strong group so we're hoping that happens with third grade as well I know all the eats that for kids that are in sa the you know small group instruction or one-on-one instruction is included in SAT plan and I know a lot of the E are are doing a lot of that yeah they're learning as well though and I feel strongly that next year they'll even do better right anything else any other questions comments you guys here telling it thank you hitting
081it out of the par we appreciate all the hard work a lot of hard work up here these ladies I appreciate each and every one of them so please get your drink or now I'll follow up with you on your list okay okay give me a week or two I think I meet with you Thursday so for data okay okay we want to recess I'm sorry everybody in favor and it's 50:06 p.m. for those that have joined us online uh we're going to end this stream now travel to CK mle we will start a new stream at CK midle hey
