Welcome back to our first board meeting with school in session. We're going to have a reporting out from board members who have attended some
002of the items and uh that have been happening on campus. We had uh one back to school night from the high school. Um we've had a few events going on. So everybody is up and running. Um we are going to start right now though first with um our little report from Okay, good evening. First board meeting of the year for school. Um, as we begin the new school year, I'm filled with optimism and excite excitement. Um, we've already seen a strong um and positive start. Our later start time of 8:00 a.m. has been wellreceived by both students and staff. Students appreciate just a few minutes of rest in the morning while the staff are reporting that their commute has been much smoother with the reduced traffic in the morning. Um, as far as professional development
003goes, today we successfully launched our first professional development session under the under the new 90minute delayed opening schedule. Uh, professional development is one of one of the most important ways we invest in our educators, ensuring that they have the time and tools to grow in their practice. Teachers worked in professional learning communities, which are small collaborative groups that focus on sharing strategies, analyzing student work, and improving instruction. This additional time that we have built into our school calendar will enhance collaboration and instructional practices throughout the year. Uh last week, we held two uh we held a successful high school back to school night, and this week our middle school will host theirs on Thursday evening. I'll leave the details of those back to school nights um for the principles to share in the reports later
004this evening. Um I'd also like to remind um everyone that schools are closed uh next Tuesday, September 23rd in observance of Rashashana. And to our Jewish community, we extend warm wishes for a health healthy, happy and peaceful new year. Um we will begin um with uh we will continue with our coffee chats with the superintendent this year. Uh these informal gatherings provide an opportunity for parents, staff, and community members to connect and share ideas. Our first coffee chat is scheduled for Thursday, October 9th, and I look forward to those conversations. Um, thank you everyone and I just I look forward to real a really exciting and successful year ahead. >> Melissa, our business administrator is going to give us an update on our referendum. As I had noted prior to in our previous meeting, we're
005going forward with the referendum and we have promised that we will be as transparent and informative to the community staff and all stakeholders at hand. With that being said, we are going to give some sort of blur every meeting just to keep you of what's going on. Some of it will be needy and some of it will be just mundane. We're going to have a meeting where there's we're just starting to do X, Y, and Z, but we want to make sure that everyone is informed from this point forward. And if there's ever any questions or any concerns, please reach out to someone here on staff, uh, one of our, you know, office and find out your answers to your questions. >> Thank you. Um, so we're in the beginning stages of project planning. The
006board has kicked off the ground. We're moving forward with referendum. So, we are at the stages where we're identifying projects. I can tell you that most of the projects are upgrades. Um, a lot of our facilities are original from the 60s. A lot of the areas that we're looking at. So, um, that would qualify for some of that state aid relief. So, we are looking at that. We have not come up with a project list yet, though. So, we are conducting a demographic study. You have to do one every five years, but we are not quite there yet. um were shy of by six months, but our original demographic study that was done like four and a half years ago did not account for all the development in Rosland and what may be coming with
007Greenbrook. So, it's really important for us to see what the impact of all the building in Rosland and now Greenbrook will bring to us. Um we are working with the bond company and our bond attorney to discuss various potential project amounts and tax impacts. Um, obviously we will, the board wants to keep it as low of an impact as possible while still doing as much as we possibly can. Um, right now we are working with, you know, the architect to identify the areas of need to have productive discussions with the board of ed and as Miss Calderon said, we will be hosting more meetings with the full board, um, the architect just to start, you know, having these public meetings about the projects that we're going to be doing. And that's it for right now.
008Good. Okay. Mia. Hello. Good evening everyone. Just a few items to update you with uh regards to curriculum and assessments. The district this week has received all ISRs. That's individual student reports from Pearson and those will be going out this week. They're currently being processed and then those will all be mailed out this week. Um, additionally, we have some seniors that will be taking NJGPA again in early October. Um, unlike previous years, the DOE has not indicated any alternative pathways. So in the past there have been uh scores that students can hit on ACTs or SATs or uh ACUPPLACER that actually could be a substitute for NJGPA once students have sat for it. But they the DOE has not indicated anything like that so far. This administration of NJGPA will actually be the last time
009that NJGPA or NJSA is in that format in that static format. Okay? Because in mid August the DOE announced that moving forward as of now NJSLA and NJGPA for math and ELA are now going to be adaptive as opposed to static and in assessment language. Okay. What adaptive means is that the difficulty level of the questions adjusts based on previous responses. So the test really looks different for everybody. Really only the first one or two questions are the same and then the questions that are served to students varies depending on how they answered. So theoretically that gives districts and families better information to use because you really know how high or below grade level those students are achieving. Uh the testing platform will also be different. So up until now the one that we've all
010finally come to know and love Pearson after NJGPA in the fall in the fall that is going to be different. We are now using one called Cambium Assessment Inc. or CAI. Okay, so the format's different, the platform is different. However, all the skills and standards that are assessed will still be the same. Um, also, all school districts will be participating in a field test during an October 27th to November 14th testing window. Okay. Now, my understanding, and all this information is just coming out, I'm actually going to be at at a training for it on Thursday, is that these are not like complete tests. It's just like a sampling. So hopefully it will be uh minimally intrusive on time. Okay? And we will work with certainly with with both buildings and make sure that it
011that that we are participating doing what we need to do without really um intruding on the on the time of students. Okay. Results will not be provided for this field test as its purpose is to refine the system and ensure the valid validity of test questions before the statewide implementation in the spring. Um, additionally, all middle school students have now taken the first I Ready benchmark assessment called diagnostic one. uh at the end of the year last year we recognized the need to reconsider our benchmark assessments and at the end of the year we had a committee of both math and English teachers and administrators and we did we landed we decided on I Ready for a few different reasons already the data that has come from Ire the from that first diagnostic is much
012more useful and valuable than its predecessor okay I ready representative have actually met with ELA and math uh teachers and supervisors twice since the beginning of the year. So, they were here uh on the opening days of school. They were here again last week working with our teachers. Okay. This data will help us facilitate more targeted remediation and differentiation and also better enrichment. Okay, it will help us challenge those exceeding expectations of grade level as well. Uh and finally with regards to I Ready, parents will also receive their child's performance report for diagnostic one. We are actually going to mail uh a hard copy of all those results within the next week or so. Okay? So parents can receive them. They can sit on the uh on the kitchen table on the counter and and
013families don't need to look through through emails and access them that way. Moving forward, diagnostics two and three might be an email, but especially for this first one, we thought it was important for parents to receive an actual hard copy of it. And that's all I have. Thank you very much. Those beautiful children up there. >> Great middle school kids. So, my own child's in middle school this year. Oh, congratulations. >> So, I'm feeling it, right? No more faking it. Having a great start to the school year. We have a wonderful uh incoming seventh grade class that we are very excited about. Um the building feels calm, but it feels exciting. New as always, kids getting lost, which is where they should be, right? So, all develop developmentally uh appropriate stages. At the middle school,
014our focus is on transition. transitioning the seventh graders in. I want to shout out to our staff. Um they do so much each block every day to help guide the kids. The number of teachers you'll see in the hallways opening lockers, showing kids how to open their locks. Uh we just have an amazing team here at the middle school. Special thank you to Mrs. Arbaji. She always creates like slides that all of the teachers use so that on the first couple days, like block one, they're all learning the schedule. Block two, they get to walk through their lockers. Block three is something else. So, it helps create continuity with the transition. And then a special thank you to Mr. Martin. Uh he assisted me with grade level assembly meetings this year where we make sure
015that the kids know the high expectations we have so that they can be successful both academically and behaviorally. So, really excited about about this start. We had our seventh grade welcome night. Thank you to Mr. John Sorantino and Mrs. Stephanie Santino. Uh they it's a kind of a fun night here. It's really laid-back and casual. The kids just come into the building. They can do backyard games. There's a DJ here in the calf. They can do video games, board games. It's just an opportunity to get the kids in the building and have fun so that they can, you know, view our building as a fun place and a safe space to be. So that was a successful night. Last week we had our cl excuse me, our club fair. So, we post uh these posters
016along the the glass windows of the cafeteria during the lunch block. The kids kind of walk around the halls here. The advisers are out with some students and we always want to encourage our kids to get involved. We know statistically the more kids are involved, the more connected they are to the building and the more successful they will be. So, another transition activity there. Oh, a little sensitive. Sorry about that. I'm like over clicking too excited. Okay. Then last Friday, we had our seventh grade trip to Spring Lake Day Camp. That's in Ringwood. That's an an annual tra uh tradition. Mrs. Priori pulled it off this year. Um you can see in the background, we don't do any of the water activities, but there's a lot of team building activities and they do them based
017on their teams. If you recall, we have the team model here in the middle school. Um so they kind of work with their team of teachers just to do fun activities. Uh and that's a really great day because it's during the school day, so they don't have to attend class. That was on Friday. Also part of our transition, not just for seventh grade, but all the students. We continue to kind of work to perfect our lunch block. Uh we did lose quite a few minutes with the changing of our bell schedule this year, but these are the activities that we offer to provide academic support to students and to give them choice. Uh so we have our learning lab in room 121, which is stationed by our supervisor. They provide uh extra help to our
018students. 124 is the room that the PTO donated. It's a counseling corner. It's a small room for kids to kind of just have some quiet deescalation time. Uh we do have lunch detention for some kids uh on occasion. Um we also have room 128 which is a quiet study room. That's something that the student body requested from last year. Um so we decided to offer that. That's new this year. And then in the library they have the zen for silent reading and also they can do board games during the lunch block as well. So a variety of activities. And then finally like Mr. Machoi said we have back to school nightmate coming up this Thursday. The booster clubs uh will be in the small gym beginning at 6 p.m. So the doors will open at
0196:00. I'll have my welcome message in the auditorium at 6:30 and then block one will start at 7:00 p.m. So hopefully I'll see some of you there. Thank you. All right. Good evening everyone. The high school um had a great opening this school year. It started off with two big events prior to the opening of the school year. We do a senior privileges meeting for the seniors and their parents. This is where we go over the New Jersey manufacturer share the keys programming and that's presented by um Mr. Lot, one of our driver education teachers. Then we talk about campus parking um off-campus lunch privilege that they get which will start on September 22nd along with our late arrival early dismissal privilege. Um so we just talk to the students about the expectations that we
020have for them so that they're very clear and then also that we maintain safety throughout all of these processes because our we have a lot of seniors coming in the building and out of the building throughout the day with these privileges. Um and then on August 20th, we held our freshman orientation which was ho hosted by our weunite peer leaders. Um the class of 2029, I know, right? Every year I'm like, "Wow, that sounds crazy." But it's so it is so exciting. Um our peer leaders do a phenomenal job welcoming the students into the building. They get them um familiar with the building. There are building tours as well as building connections and putting them into peer groups so that they feel some sense of community. before they even enter the building on day one
021of the school year. And then we had a successful first two days of for the school opening on the first day with the new start time. Not only was the staff happy when they came in because there was no traffic, but all of the students, I mean it, and I seriously mean this, every student walked in with a smile. They were loving the new start time. Um I even think the sun shone a little brighter that day because of it. Um so it was a great first day. And then on day two we hold our class meetings. We meet with all of the ninth graders um in the auditorium, the 10th graders, 11th graders, 12th graders, and we just talk about our expectations for them. We just review the school rules with them to let
022them know like this is how you're expected to behave. And so we're very upfront and clear about that and consequences that follow if they don't follow those rules. And then we also share with them opportunities for them to get connected with the school. I'm always mindful that students are most successful when they feel connected to the school community. So we always make sure that the students are aware of the opportunities they have to be connected to the high school. Um, and then we have we've already have a whole bunch of activities in I guess we're two and a half weeks into the school year already. Um, we had our senior parent night. Thank you to the guidance department for hosting a night where they talked about the common application and just some kind of mystifying
023um, concepts for senior parents, especially first-time senior parents. So, our guidance department did a phenomenal job with that. We also had our school picture day on September 10th and Mr. Miller who runs our yearbook did a phenomenal job organizing that along with our PE department for allowing us to use their class time for those pictures. And then we hosted our club fair again making those connections. We make sure that we host the club club fair early in the year so that the students have an opportunity to see what do we have available to them. And uh every year that we host the club fair we try to think of a way to like make it better, what can be improved. And so this year we had it running down the 600 hallway. Um so someone
024walked by like wow that seems like a lot. I go it is a lot because students are stopping at the tables now like as they were walking down the hallway they were forced to stop. So I just wanted to say thank you to Miss Hobie and Miss Fernola my assistant principles for putting together the club fair as well as the club adviserss and the club leaders. We had over 30 clubs present for that. So, it was really great to see the interaction between particularly the freshmen and even some of the sophomores joining the clubs. And last Thursday, we had our back to school night. It was um I have to give kudos to our maintenance department. Our building looked phenomenal. It was clean. It was immaculate. Um the teachers were excited to welcome the parents
025to the classrooms. We had the jazz combo and the orchestra performing. That always adds a little extra touch. We had student leaders from the National Honors Society and Student Council there assisting the parents, the many parents who were lost because the building is so expansive. Um, and I felt that the night was really like a positive night, right? Like I just sometimes it's like an energy you feel in the building and I felt it was really good, but I was validated by receiving a few emails. Um, and I don't know if you can imagine this, but sometimes as the principal of the building, you don't always get positive emails coming your way. Um, but I had quite a few emails from parents saying like, "Thank you. This night was so impressive." And while some of
026them were ninth grade parents, I even had a senior parent reach out and that I thought really stood out. They were just said, "Thank you. The teachers were fantastic. The curriculum is spot-on. Like, we're just really pleased with everything that's happening at West Essex High School." So, that was just very validating to me and made me feel good. Um, and then just looking forward, so next month's meeting, you guys will meet the board of education student representative to be determined. I'm having the first interest meeting tomorrow at lunch. So that process will begin. Um, and then we also are continuing our culture and climate committee. Miss Fernacola is going to um lead that committee this year. I think she's changing it to more of a student voice option. And also in that committee, they'll be
027doing the no place for hate again. And that's something that's very near and dear to us in in the building. And that's a wrap for the beginning of the school year. >> We do have some board members attend. So first >> um I want to echo for my house of two high schoolers that the early start times has been wonderful for all of us. Um I also attended the senior college night and it was very well prepared by the guidance team. Every family got an individualized folder. Um it really went through a thorough slideshow. I think the majority of the parents are new to the college process. Um so they were very patient with ample questions at the end and can definitely have them. But it was it was definitely a good opportunity to connect
028with the guidance team and sort of make sure your child's on the right track. >> Yeah, I was at back to school night and I had to shout out um to those student helpers you were talking about. They were not wall flowers. They proactively looked for people like me who were like looking down, looking up, looking they were amazing. Um and just you know to reiterate what you said Dr. Relable energy in the building. It was really exciting to see parents so excited and the teachers are really just amazing. It makes me so proud to be a parent here. Um the teachers each one like each classroom is very unique. I mean the Spanish teacher only spoke in Spanish. I don't know what she said but she brought so much energy and I was like
029I want to be in the class. I was excited. I want to be in the class. um it was really a great night and so please report that back to the teachers because they I think I've heard the same kind of feedback that you did and to reiterate what R said um thank you thank you so much to everybody that listener Leslie and to the you know teacher rep everybody who worked really really really hard to get um the later start time I think it's really having an impact at least my And I know great feedback as well. Um I was able to attend the um high school back to school night um which as everyone has spoken about was you know very a very energetic um evening. It was so great to hear the
030we had the tell me if I'm wrong. We had the jazz >> jazz combo >> and the orchestra. >> Correct. Okay. So, which was great because they played throughout the night on and off. There were culinary did cookies and and desserts and there were act there were the boosters were there. Everyone was selling their, you know, their items, their apparel. Um, it is Deb said quite funny when you see these parents and they have a schedule and they're like and they're asking like Damian or one of the helpers and they're like, "Where do I have to go?" They're like down there. Make a left. like, "Oh, God." You know, they're running, they're like, they're leaping through the hallways to get where they have to go. Um, it it was just it really was a very
031pulsating night. Um, it went very well. It was a beautiful evening and I think all in all, everything, you know, just went couldn't ask for a better night for everyone. Not one complaint for anyone. And I'm sure that the middle school will go just as well. Um, you know, those a little bit more nervous. I think it was their first time coming to the new campus from you know the elementary school. So you know Dr. Wish you good luck this week. >> I'm sure everything will go well for you all. So with that being said um we have a safety and security update. We have a committee report. >> Um yes good evening everyone. Um before I start my uh safety and security committee I just wanted to uh thank the uh the two um
032principles that um just made in their presentation. I've always been proud of being a parent of uh West Essex School. Although my daughter graduated, I still speak so highly about our school and I'm so proud to be part of it. Um even continuing with the board of education. Having said that, um, safety and security committee, we, uh, meeting called to order in August 25th at 5:00 PM at the middle school board of education office. The committee reviewed recent activities, including the West Essex administration meeting held on August 6 and emergency notification testing with North Coldwell Police Department and West Essex staff on August 14th. Testing has been completed with objectives to ensure direct 911 connections for middle school and high school phones. Verify activation of lockdown functions from both school phones and north global PD
033dispatch. Confirm transmission of email, text, phone notification, test blue lights and P PA announcements and review the Tango Tango computer AD dispatch system. Discussions included the lockdown and shelter in place procedures, communication coordination with the local police, and ensuring doors are secured, cyber threats, BTMA, and emphasized that ebikes are not allowed. The committee also discussed the importance of class 3 officers in the school safety coordination, noting the need for full coverage and consistent officer rotation. Some policies were also updated. Our next step are to continue routines routine drills and staff training. Ensure regular emergency testing, keep class three officers scheduled rotating, and additionally consider permanent hours in the afternoon to provide security during after school extracurricular activities and athletic events. And that'll be all. >> Thank you. Um, we've added a an additional report this
034year going forward. we have new union representation for the staff. Um, so during one of our, you know, get to know you meetings, I offered them the opportunity if they wanted to come and talk, you know, at our board meetings to just update the board on anything that was happening within the school or anything that they felt we should be aware of. So, with that being said, we are bringing um Miss Blanchard, who is actually the president, and she is going to give us a report today. I can't believe how much we've gone over and today was only the 10th day of students in school. So, I really don't have uh much to say, but I did want to highlight um one of our members, Anthony Lambo, was chosen as the uh I had to
035read it. Um the 2025 SEC fall leadership keynote speaker. um and he spoke on um the topic of like resilience. Uh former high school teacher, now he's at the middle school and kind of bringing that type of leadership and enthusiasm into the classroom every day. But thank you so much for the inclusion and uh I look forward to communicating with you all this year. >> Thank you. We appreciate it. >> Any comments or questions from board members?

Um, yeah, we we sent the email. We think it would be beneficial for the kids to break up their day. I mean, they're they sit in the class like they sit in the school for almost seven hours. I I feel because of the studies that have been done, it would be a very beneficial for them to get some outside time other than the PE class that they don't have every day, but to be able to have the option to go outside, uh whether it just be a a little quadrant or even field access. I know we need eyes
042on the kids. I know we need um we need shop runs out there, but if if it's feasible and you guys can come up with a good solution, you know, we're we're willing to help out um any way we can and um we we appreciate that and I know the kids would too because they're really asking for it and it was a a group of parents that sent the email and we're all we're all really gunned for it. So just we appreciate your consideration. >> Can I ask? >> Thank you. Can I ask a quick question? Oh, here's a good question for you. you mentioned you had based on the data um that you've seen, feel free to share that with the board, you know, in an email or whatever. Okay. >> I didn't see
043the initial email come through. So, but feel free to share that. >> Thank you for being here because it's really really nice to hear and see um directly from parents. So, it's really nice that you're here. >> I appreciate it. Thanks for having us. We'll send it. >> Um the board would like to thank everyone, the community, the teachers. Um, we know that some of the bus schedules got out late. Um, you know that there was a there's a lot of transitioning because we did put out the survey, you know, to see who was going to take a bus this year and who wasn't going to take the bus because I don't know if you are aware, but originally we thought that we were going to have to eliminate busing, courtesy busing. We were able
044to keep the courtesy busing and now we're just trying to look at a few things that we can find, you know, fine tooth over things and maybe cut a few buses to eliminate things and, you know, keep things a little bit more on a schedule so that everyone gets here, you know, the right time that the start time and everything. So, we appreciate all of the in, you know, the kind of like I did here during back to school night. I just got my email about the bus schedule, you know, so we do understand that. We're sorry about the circumstances to it, but you know, Miss Kea is just really working on it to make sure that it's fluid and that we can address everything as it goes forward. So, we appreciate all your patience
