Um the staff is anxious to say the least. Um hopefully for their retro check. Um this has been a year excited to start um coming back into year two of our five-year contract. Um
006so that is uh one of the things I know I've been hearing a lot from the staff over the summer. So we're excited about that. Again, excited for a new start to the school year with new leadership, some changes. Um, so we're excited for that. Um, also a couple of things in case you haven't seen throughout email, but we had a couple teachers received some awards and recognition. One being Corey Lola, um, who was also actually she received a Fulbright teacher change award this year as well as Patricia Storyo for a student impact recognition award for her engagement with her students. And then Corey's also Corey Lola is also um submitted this summer for a NJA Frederick Hip Foundation for Excellence. Um so she's been working on that regarding her symposium that she puts on
007every year. So um that was just a couple spotlights for teachers over the summer. So um and then I had my conference earlier in the summer. I know some teachers are going to work on my graduate classes. Um so we're excited about that and some new staff coming in. So, we're looking forward to a good 25 26 school year and that's it. >> And I'm here if you have any questions. Thank you so much. >> Thank you very much. >> Next is the principal report John. >> Good evening everybody. My way up here. Thank you, Miss Sunda. I wanted to echo that for Corey and also Patricia. I'm very proud of our staff every day when they walk the halls and in the trenches and work very hard when they get recognized and acknowledged uh
008globally outside of our community for this as well. So again, kudos to Cory and Patricia for their hard work and hard work pays off as we all know. A couple things as we begin our school year. I thank you. As you walk around the building, you see I say this every year and it doesn't get uh old, but when you see reflection off from the the halls, this hallway was actually closed today because they're just finishing finishing touches on it. our custodial staff, our maintenance staff, our grounds um staff, our IT staff, our administrative assistants, our transportation department. Um those of you that you know have been education know that the doors don't close in June, uh they continue open. There's a lot of work that gets done in between um the book ends of
009September and June. And without that work that gets done by all those staff um and the security staff as well, um we wouldn't be ready to go um on September. So, we're excited that we are ready to go and we're looking forward to a really another year, a great year in September. Um, I don't know if you saw, but the screen that's behind you has caught my eye because that's our senior walk um of our class of 2025. So, I'll try not to get out and start crying again. Um, but it's really cool to see those individuals that are now on their way to mostly to college or career or to the military or other things that a new class coming in. All of our staff uh and parents um welcome back. Information will be
010coming out tomorrow morning. So for those of you that are our parents as well as board members look for that'll be through Genesis which is our main nexus of communication. All the pre-season we say forms that need to get filled out completed are all becoming your way. Um we have transitioned almost to a full uh digital mailing with a very small actual hard coverment for a couple reasons. One is you find that paper is good but it's a lot of paper. Um it's about 50 documents and we look at all the stuff that gets sent out. Um so there's a a kind of a small amount that will go out. One, it also reduces cost for mailing. We find that with Genesis being as effective as it has been now over the last several years
011that it's very effective to get everything out. So, you'll get a welcome back um letter, but you then you also get a um digital mail that will come out to Genesis as well for all of our parents and students. Master schedule um is pretty much set. Thank you to Courtney Delaney, our guidance staff, our child study team um who and also our academic supervisors who work very hard behind the scenes um with Mr. camel and I on a regular basis hard to believe that we're in August talking about the schedule. Um you know kind of being finalized when we started the process early in December. Um but we are ready to go and and really happy because our focus always is to build a student centered schedule. Um and and often times that's a challenge
012right because based on staffing that you have the groups that you have um and the counselors have been in and out case members have been in and out this summer as well making sure they have the final tweaks uh done to them. Um as Miss Sun has said we're very excited for a new school year. um a lot of great things to look forward to. Um you know, education is just is uh so much different when you're when you're looking at it from the book end, right? And and I know there's a lot out there about, you know, teachers and what they do, what they and the aspect of summertime is a time for refreshment, time to be with family, a time to recharge um because it is absolutely a um a challenge um in
013education. It is no better gift though to be a teacher, an educator in my opinion. So, we're blessed to be able to have our staff come back. We have a few step new staff members coming back. We're excited to see them next week for our new staff orientation and our suborientation as well. Um, we're really looking forward to working with with Miss Sunday and the rest of of the teachers um to focus on our students and do the best that we can for them every single day. Um, I can stand here and say that that's what our our staff does every single day. Sometimes we fail, sometimes we fall short. Um, but every single day we're trying to do the best for the students that are in front of us in our classrooms for when
014there's 800 of them in front of us every week day. A couple key dates, fresh orientation. We do do a half day orientation. That's really stage four of our transition program, but now in the building four times um as incoming nth graders and now they're official nth graders. Uh so that transitions to half day where they come in, they go through their schedule, they meet their teachers, um they're with the peer leaders um throughout the time period and they get a chance to be comfortable. We also had some um open campus tours this week for students that become really popular. Kudos to our guidance department for Bush and John to say, "Hey, can we get a couple days before we get to orientation to just get like is that necessary?" Absolutely 100% it is. Um
015our parents that come in, I saw about 25 of them on Monday walking around with our peer leaders. um they it's a breath of fresh air for them to come and say, "Okay, I feel a little better um about where things are." It's a big building. It's a big campus, right? So, um we'll also have a nice period uh day for them next week as well as a transfer student day. So, it's a day when individuals can come in with their parent, their guardians and and walk around and get comfortable with the peer leader, which again is your face. Um look forward to that next week. Our first full day is the 4th um for all students. 9th grade parent night is September um 11th. back to school night September 18th. 9th grade parent night
016is really just a special night for 9th grade parents only um with administrative staff and some counseling staff that starts at 7 o'clock on 11th and 18th back to school night. We had it set up a little bit earlier. 6:45 is our start. Um trying to get parents out before 9:30 is kind of our goal. On the other end for those again that have walked that walk as parents, right? Either as an educator or as a parenting, you know, it's a it can be a long night. Um but it's also a really important night. So, we're we're looking forward to that. Um, and behind me here, um, as I transition to athletic reports that are getting done, um, Mr. Dexter gave me a report here and first and foremost, fall season has begun. Campus is
017full. Um, tennis and football started last week. Um, so that was kind of our stepping into it. Um, all fall sports started on Monday. So, all of a sudden, we had a buzz. We have, you know, some detours to work around. That's okay. We'll figure it out. Um, but it's great to see the building alive again. um you know and and as you look at the picture of the students behind you and as you walk around and see students here for drive right that's what makes High Point High Point right the building is a building it's the staff and community members um and students that really brings to life so having those kids come back even though it's a little progressionally at 8:00 in the morning on Monday when they come here from practice it's
018really great great to see so fall sports are are um 100% a go and that's a great thing um a couple things I just want to highlight for um fall sports is our first varsity football game because of all schedule change that the state does every single year is actually August 30th um which is before the season again is against our favorite rivals the Jefferson Falcons you may know that yes um so that's on the 30th and then we have a special night and I was going to highlight here because it'll be September board meeting will be after September 12th we're going to do um Mr. Dex was organizing a first responder night um actually Jefferson was was the place that Mr. in Iraq. I think last year this um and we stood there together
019in instance we both said next to each other we want to do this at high point. So through this mission Dexter again one of our um also administrative leaders um he's got that off the ground for honoring all of our first responders and military veterans on the 12th at our football game on that night. And then also it's back T-Mobile um has reinvented and redefined their marketing from last year. So the T-Mobile, if you see like a gazillion posts about T-Mobile, yes, we are trying to get them to continue to partner with us. We like to have um funds that are available for us to be able to utilize to improve our facilities. As you know, as you work so hard on the fiscal responsibility as a board member of the budget, it's nice to
020have um some availability, maybe some extra funds. So T-Mobile is partnering with all schools. They're doing their social media contest again. Um so Mr. Dexter is heading that up. So follow along on Instagram um and Twitter and you'll see a lot of postings coming out for that. Um and they're you know asking that the banner be held which is no problem but a football field. We'll make continuous announcements to try to get them recognized. It's a dual partnership right they want customers and we want to build partnerships for for facilities. So um and segueing over here to our our division champs. Um again we had uh several that were uh division champs. Baseball was one of them. um spent a lot of time with the baseball team as many of you know. Um these are
021this is our fourth straight year of uh NJ and Jack P. We're excited about that. So you can see the four Pete um this group here of students, players, and parents um in the booster club for so many years have worked on a project to bring fruition um for the baseball clubhouse. I'm excited to say that that is in um and the wall is built um and it's being filled up for storage as we speak. um not really today, not tonight, but this morning it was. And that will be a shared sports storage space with um baseball and also field hockey. And the underneath and the above upper deck area of that um is actually the clubhouse where they're going to be able to do live announcing um staff and students. So really looking at
022one of the areas we want to branch into is more of broadcast journalism working with our media program and also our current staff that we have um because there's definitely a niche in there for students uh that want to be part of that. So, just want to say thank you to our booster club. That's the baseball soft booster club. They've raised a lot of funds, tremendous amount of funds uh to get this project in place, thousands of dollars, um to improve our facility. So, we're very excited about that part of it. Um also, thank you to our community members that helped out and volunteer at the time. Um Laurating was one of them. Um Jeff was very helpful as a grounds person just kind of giving some insight. There's a lot of parents um that
023were involved with concrete and ground work and just making sure that you had hands on deck. So when it comes to community project, that's what it's all about. But we're just very thankful for them and and the funds that they were able to raise to improve our facility. So I think Mr. Cam, would I get this thing? >> Y the arrows or the >> arrow. >> So this is the actual shed just got placed today. Don't ask us how we got in there. We got in there on the skate. It was amazing. The machine that was in there, as you can see, um it started in the picture, but there's actually a wall that we put in place. um heavy block that we helped lay and get in place behind it which we're looking to
024add on to and improve. But there's about 2 feet of space between the wall and the back stop which is what we wanted for ladder space we needed but also this wall space. Um and yes uh they had a little machine that got that moved out of our parking lot down into that area. Um and the guy was as Jesse as even as like you got two inches on this side and you get an inch no problem slow and they got in. So the upper part it has the windows the doors are facing the back stop where they're able to watch the game live and broadcast it. It has doors on both sides of it as well. This entire again >> there you go. >> So this is a a timeline of the actual event
025today. Thankfully, you can't see us in the shadows. Supervising and covered my eyes a couple times, making sure they had space. That was the uh you know, a time period of to get it in place and set, which was a a miracle perspective from both sides that came all the way up the parking lot. Um that's the two from above, which the whole hillside is now cleaned up. They have steps on both sides, access steps on both sides of the dugout. um to be able to access that versus >> and those and those wind go back when those uh those black tarps come down, right? So then the broadcasters can see the >> Yeah. So they're going to have to look those those actually the the wind guards which are the black tarps two levels
026will come down right in front of the uh cast right out have clear sight. You don't see it this side. You may have saw came in double doors on the other side of it on the other side of it as well. Um and that gives us an easy access to get things and now also have one access to this side. That way if field hockey come from this side they have easy access um to it. So thank you again to club and all the community members that were part of that >> little. We didn't notice that before that there any questions? I'm sorry. >> No, I just wanted to say uh that if it was not for participation of Mr. Val and his presence and his knowledge in this area and his advocacy for this
027it would not have happened. Uh this is a major project that required limited if any funds from the board and your participation overseas project was instrumental moving forward. Pleasure question >> play. >> They have fall coming up. So >> next we have Mr. Shane Campbell. uh updated us on curriculum instruction. Um first on the agenda tonight are our district goals for next year. Very quickly, it's important to note that our first goal is really the same as our first goal last year that we're looking to do a one and done and move on. uh making sure that our strong school culture is stronger, that our students and our staff every day come in, they feel supported, they feel positive, they feel energized is an area that we're not satisfied with that we want to work
028more on professional development, on instructional practices, on restorative practices to make sure our climate um is even stronger this year. Our second, I consider this perhaps the third wing of the tech revolution on the internet. Um I was teaching there before the internet. Um but going online pretty much I dating myself there. Uh but essentially having open resource everything online was transformative as was um this uh phase of the digital revolution and I think we're in the third phase in a sense. This is a holistic goal. This is not jump on this technology as soon as possible and do the best uh and greatest uh new tool. This is to be 21st century citizens where we think about safety, we think about ethics, um we think about reducing and becoming more productive but in the
029context of what is right, what is safe, what is fair as we embrace this new technology. So those are our two district goals here. This could be the last time you hear me speak about QAC for some time, so I'm sure you'll be safe hearing it. Um, we have been working on this audit for over two years. It is exhaustive and thorough and last month we received a letter from Trenton that said we have passed you. Um so we're very proud of the fact that we are highly effective in all areas and we are one of only a handful of school districts in the county who have earned this um recognition. It's extremely difficult for the past few seconds. A few have and we're now among that that that few. Just a couple things to
030remind you about what this was. It's a three-year process. The audit looked at data from three years ago, right? I guess two years ago, if you think of this past school year, two years prior to that, then a year ago, they came and did the audit. This past year, we worked on our improvement plan. And this coming school year will actually be the basis for the next cycle of the audit. So, it essentially um never ends. However, a quick look here. There are five areas districts must score 80 points or 80% or better in all five. The one that is the most difficult is all districts lose points a considerable amount of points because no one gets 100% of their students to pass every assessment. So that's the area that's tricky. of the 100 inpoints
031for compliance as we were for every aspect of the audit. 100% perfect A+ very proud of how um hard everyone in the uh in the office works to make sure that we are on top of all of our requirements. But of the 60 points, you'll see there test scores, product absenteeism, and graduation rate. you had to earn at least 40 out of the 60. So we were audited. We came in at 34.4 uh 5.1 points shy and that was based on 2223. So we went to work and in 2324 we improved improved improved improved. Very proud of that success. Still not good enough. That got us to 37.6. But now after this past year, we're at 39.7. Round up, we've got our 40 um and we have successfully passed QAC, which is um which is
032nice. It's nice to be able to say that we went through a rigorous audit that was exhaustive and we have been deemed highly effective in every area. Um it is important to note it is not just our success and our improved performance. It was an adjustment to the rubric. We didn't um make a point of this because you take the rules you're given and you work with them. However, if you look at this, the prior rubric said that K to8 and 9 to 12 districts, 50% of the performance component was assessment results, whereas for K to 12 districts, it was only 33%. So, it's particularly more difficult for K 8 and 9 to 12 districts to pass them. The new revised rubric is a bit more equitable. It drops it to 42% which um helps
033by putting the points in some other areas where we excel. One of those are so once again we pass. Um also want to thank uh the board um Mr. Dunn who was on our committee the board office um Mrs. Kaufman, Mr. um the staff, the students. It's their performance that got us over overwhelmed. Uh and our staff. So, we want to thank them um for their support and participation. Um one of the areas we've been measured as a key component is chronic absenteeism. If a student misses 10% of the school year and the there only a very few number of um excused absences from the state standpoint bring your child to work day, veterans day um and I think it would be a draft perhaps not there is very minimal. Okay, essentially every absence counts
034and if you're out 18 times you are chronically absent. Now, if 10% of your students are chronically absent, you have to go through an action plan. So, on the agenda tonight is the reauthorization of our action plan, which you'll see in a moment clearly has proven effective. Our guidance team led by Mrs. Delaney in particular, our main office staff, Mr. Talin, Mr. Emma, Mrs. Sarno, and several teachers work. They don't always dress in matching um but they're um work very very hard to target and identify at risk students and then support them. So here's product absent cases this huge issue in New Jersey right now coming out of co over 20% down below 15% um and really trending in an outstanding direction. This afternoon I went and looked this up. I think this is even
035more telling. Not only are we improving chronic absenteeism, but there are eight high schools in the county that have 9 to 12 and we're right near the top. Um, some districts have as high as 25 to 31% chronically absent. So 14.7 is not good enough, but it's relatively strong and we measure ourselves against um our peers from time to time. So we're really pleased with that. Any questions on a PAC or chronic absenteeism or district goals? No. I will be the third person to mention that we have a wonderful outstanding educator. Uh 62 fullbrite recipients have gone on to win Nobel prizes and we're excited that Miss Little one day is one of them. Um for the meantime, she'll be uh participating in a really prestigious exchange program. She will not know until December what
036part of the world she goes to. teach. It'll be about a two or three week um commitment and throughout the year she'll be working with her fullbrite cohort um in meaningful PD. Two of our board members, Miss M. Diaz and Mr. Dun took up Mrs. Lyola's um invitation. This summer she sponsored a domestic exchange program where students from around the country um did a week was it >> did a oneweek visit um and she organized the entire program had all the hosts at her house for celebratory reflection and it was really uh the kind of thing that she does. So, we're really thrilled with her and we're thrilled two weeks from today, New Jerseyy's number one staff comes back, bagels, coffee, and 180 days of uh of greatness. Um, so we're a lot of summer
037left, but we're getting ready. So pleasure. >> Thank you. >> Okay, back to business. Other business uh just not uh two events. New teacher orientation will be held August 27:28 8:30 to 2:00 p.m. And substitute orientation on August 27th 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. And then under other business, we have a resolution on our board goals. Be it resolved that the board of education approves the following district goals for the 2025 2026 school year. Um they were as Mr. Campbell presented, but I'll read them. One, continue to focus on improving school climate so as to foster overall wellness for both students and staff. Student and staff well-being will be supported through an increased focus on managing student behavior. expanding our use of intervention strategies, expanding classroom practices focused on student engagement and targeted instruction and
038providing staff with professional development to support at risk students. And number two is an increase the degree to which students and staff understand the growing capacity of artificial intelligence AI leading our school community to leverage this technology in an effective and responsible manner. So, I'll make that motion to accept that resolution and I have a second. >> Second. >> Okay. Uh, any comments, discussion on our goals?
