So, that will be going out shortly. I want to
011acknowledge teacher appreciation week. I want to of course thank our teachers for all their hard work, everything they do every day for our students and supporting our students and our schools. I also want to thank the PTOs because they have been supporting our teachers and they do so all every day, but especially this week with special treats in the faculty room. So, thank you to them. Today was also school nurses day. So, I know our school nurses were able to celebrate themselves today. Um, and the the students really celebrated them, which is really nice. I wish also to congratulate the singers that were accepted into the 2526 Allstate Chorus. We have Vita. I'm just going to say their first names.

We are going to do a seventh grade parent orientation meeting for current sixth grade parents here in this auditorium. We're going to do that meeting at 6:30 and then at 7:30 we are going to do a mandatory parent meeting for incoming 9th graders. So that's a mandatory high school meeting for our parents of current eighth graders for students who will be at our high school next year. We are also going to be hosting our ESL family engagement night in the main gym. We are going to be sending out information. It's going to be set up where like almost like a cultural fair with the table set up around
013the gym. We we are purchasing passports for our students who can visit with their parents. Every student will get the passport. As they visit the table, they get a sticker to stamp their passport. And then when they go to school the next day, they show their passport for a free homework pass. That's for K through six. Um and then they can have a free homework pass. And we are also the EMTs in town are looking to host an intro to first aid course and an intro to CPR course on parent partnership night to our students in grades 6 through 12. So that sign up for those courses are going to be going out shortly. I want to remind everybody that we have two giveback days for not using our three mandate our three snow days.
014So the giveback days are the Friday of Memorial Day weekend and the Tuesday of Memorial Day weekend. So we have an extended weekend, Memorial Day weekend. Our clinical interns, as many of you know, we had, I believe, 18 clinical interns from Ramapo College. And then we have maybe about five more from different colleges. Um many of them were Saddlebrook um alum themselves. And so their last day was last Friday. We wanted to just thank our cooperating teachers, our teachers who took on the student teachers. they're now called clinical interns and really grew them over the course of this entire year because in the fall semester they did their observations and the spring semester they do the student teaching and take over the classroom and they really formed strong connections with our school. So thank you
015to our student teachers but more importantly thank you to our teachers who took on the student teachers because we couldn't do it without you. Field day at the elementary school we are switching it up this year. So we've been focusing on school pride a lot. Go Falcons, Falcon Nation. And you see subtle changes across all of our buildings. So we decided to change up field day this year. K to3 will have one field day at their school. Um that will be one morning information for that will be coming out from the school principles and 4 to six is going to have a field day here. They are we're organizing it. The PE teachers along with Minionello have been organizing it. They have stations set up. The plan right now is to bus the sixth graders.
016one bus at each school, take the sixth graders here, then they go back for the fifth graders and come back for the fourth graders. The PE teachers have activities all set up and it's going to be a friendly competition where they tally up their their points and we see which school is the winner at the end of the day. And thank you to our parents who are going to be supplying pizza and I'm sure some other treats. So, we appreciate all that support. At our June board of ed meeting, we are going to be recognizing our teacher of the year awardees and also our retirees. So that'll be a special meeting where we'll have those staff represented. So if anyone wants to come and support them, please do. As a district, we've been focusing on
017our two goals, our chronic our two main goals are chronic absenteeism and student performance. So I sent out letters personally to students who exhibited patterns of chronic absenteeism, which means you're absent 18 or more days throughout the course of the entire school year. So if they were absent, if a student was absent 18 or more days last school year, they they received a letter in August just reminding their families of the importance of attending school and notifying the school and such. Then if you're absent two days per month, then by the end of the school year, you're you have 18 absences and are labeled as chronically absent. So what we did was come October, if you had four more if you had more than four absences, you received a letter and we did that pattern
018throughout the throughout the school year. Our principles have also been following up and if you haven't already and your student does your child does have a high number of absences that is bordering on chronic absenteeism, there's a strong chance that the principles are going to be reaching out to you to schedule an in-person meeting to review an attendance some sort of an attendance contract or agreement. Our student performance, we've been working really closely with our teachers. Our director of curriculum has been working closely with our teachers on um on targeting their instruction towards the needs of our students in an effort to incre increase our student performance on the state testing. So we're really excited. We have shown growth over the course of the last two years since COVID, but we are extremely excited this
019school year to see our results. We fortunately we won't get the results until probably the fall of next school year, but we are very excited. We have high hopes. We know that our students are taking it seriously. our teachers are taking it seriously and when I walk around classrooms especially at the elementary level and I have fourth grade students talking to me about the state testing I know that we're doing something right so I'm really excited and we're very eager to get these results um Washington as our student rep shared they had their muffins with mom today they hosted it was very well attended and also tonight the SBI hosted a mother's day tea that was also very well attended and they did a fabulous job we stopped by before the meeting they had it
020nicely decorated They had the food display was beautiful. The tables were decorated. Um they did a fabulous job. So I just want to thank the SBA for supporting our families for Mother's Day. I also I shared out but I want to share again our lacrosse our boys lacrosse team. They seem to be on somewhat of a roll. I don't know how they did tonight. I know they had a game this afternoon but if you go to northj jersey.com there's two options to vote. So we we have we are in competition for team of the week. Our Falcons went 3-0 last week. They beat Clifton, Waldwick, and Wehawen by a combined total score of 29-9. And I have to say that we have a young team, I believe. So, they I want to commend our coaches
021for all the work that they're doing with our students. And then there's also an option to opportunity to vote for our player of the week, Jonathan Schnapper. The soft uh Jonathan is a sophomore. He came up big in three wins for the Falcons by getting 44 saves on 53 shots for a 830 percentage. Schnapper hit a milestone along the way by surpassing 300 career saves. So, please go to northj jersey.com. You can vote as many times as you wish to vote, but voting does end Thursday at 5:00. So, when I checked yesterday, we were in the lead, but I do need everyone to or we are asking everybody to go to north jersey.com and vote as many times as you could before 5:00 tomorrow. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Dody. Mr. Karate. Okay. So, first

We're going to add some new um canopies out front, overhangs, and also we're trying to do the back entrance to the athletic field.

023a meeting a few days after that or early next week. We'll work on that date. Um the athletic field work is is completed. The artificial turf field installation is completed with the lights and visitor bleachers. We're now working on the fencing going around the track um and the entire field, but that we're looking to open up the uh field for use uh on Monday.

So, the PE teachers have finalized all the events and the activities that's going on that day, the logistics, and we're going to just meet and make sure we iron out all the other details as much as we can.

That's what that was my question. I apologize. Um, no, it's okay. So, the approval from the negotiation with the SBA. So, now for the non-tenured administrative staff, the board members have the link to the exhibit. Um, and the title of Brook Hannenburgg as part of that addendum is
031now going to change. So, right now it says supervisor of early childhood and special services. It's going to be supervisor of special services and principal. Um, as she does serve as principal of Washington School. So, that change will be reflected on the agenda. That's on the exhibit on 79 as discussed on Monday in close session. Thank you. Got it. Okay. Okay. I have to finish your motion. Um, I need a second. Second. There we go. We have a second. Does anybody have any questions? I did. I didn't. Okay. So, 75, we have um a power professional who has resigned. She recently started with us and she's um moving. We have a leave of absence. We have number one is maternity leave. Number two is an updated medical leave for one of our staff members. 77
032appointments for um some of these are for next school year starting in September or really technically August for new teacher orientation. Number one is a Spanish teacher for our middle school. I had shared um during the budget meeting that the need for this Spanish teacher is because right now we have one Spanish teacher for grades seven and eight. So we are looking to right now our seventh graders are pulled out of PE to have Spanish a couple days a week. So having another Spanish teacher at our middle school will enable our students in seventh and eighth grade to actually have consistent instruction in world language and then hopefully be able to in many many chance many cases start high school with Spanish 2 as opposed to Spanish one. Number two is a power professional that
033is going to be starting this school year. Number three is a teacher of English and special education for next school year. Um I want to acknowledge the steps are listed. Now if you recall with our negotiation with our teachers, we condensed our steps from 28 to 21. So next school year 25 26 nope 26 27 school year will be 21 steps on our teacher salary guide. So what that means is every single year over the last five years we've been or last four years we've been condensing the steps and what I'm sharing that is because the step number does not align with the number of years of experience. So it might seem a little off to you, but it does align with their years of experience and the offer that was given to them. And
034number four is a power professional also. She currently works for ESS and we are going to put her on our team, get her on board. Point seven, eight are stipen positions. Number one is just a revised ESY staff/child study team summer hours that is listed in the exhibit. Then we have some coaches. So we have our head girls soccer coach, head girls tennis coach, assistant girls tennis coach, the head boys soccer coach, assistant boys soccer coach. Those are essentially the same. It might be a new um assistant girls tennis coach, one of our middle school teachers. Then we have head football cheerleading coach and assistant football cheerleading coach. Those are new coach uh new football cheerleading coaches. We have our head cross country coach, a head volleyball coach, assistant volleyball coach, co-assistant volleyball coach, and
035then number 13 was it must have been she she was omitted from the climate and culture committee. So we added her on 79 is the non-tener administrative staff. Just note to the board that that title for Miss Hannenburgg does change um per that addendum. Then we have the non-tener teaching staff, non-tener custodialmaintenance staff, non-tener bargain, non-bargaining unit staff, non-tener administrative assistant staff, and we have a contract for Mr. Karate, our business administrator for next school year. And point A5 is to approve May 23rd and May 27th as non-working days for members of the SBCMA. That's our custodial and maintenance association. So that way they are able to have those days off. That's what the board agreed to. Thank you for explaining all of that. Does anybody have any questions? Roll call, please. Mr. Traverso. Yes.
036Mr. Akcomando. Uh, yes. But on P22425.78 on number six and seven, I would like to say good luck to them. 78 7 and8 7 and eight. Yeah. And on P2425.84. Well deserved, Mr. Karate.

That's all right. Congratulations. Thank you. So, Mr. Archello. Yes. M. Rolledoff. Yes. Miss Torbick. Yes. Okay. So, uh, committee reports. Does anybody have any committee reports? I mean, budget was the budget. We did the whole viewing on Monday night. So, we're good. Do you have anything? I do not. Okay. Negotiations, there was nothing. Okay. Uh, any leison on reports? Nope. Anyone? Nothing this month, but we'll
037bring it home strong next month. Okay. No, I got I can I can update you along a little bit. It's not too much. Okay. So, Long School, as we heard earlier, uh did their teacher appreciation staff meals this week. They did a few different countries. They did some for lunch. They did some breakfast.
