and families and g s to the next school year i do have a few items to catch everybody up on first of all we did have a great day on tuesday september sixth when we welcome back our faculty and staff one of the first times or few times we had all of our faculty and staff presen sullivan spoke head of a lisa fury was able to break the ice with her speech at the beginning and john and i met today and we think that there was a nice chord struck between the three speeches about how  look to engage in a good year this year with our faculty and staff and our students so we're glad that took place the next day september sixth was the first day for grades one through twelve students and we are excited to have our students back our buildings were clean the custodians and facilities department worked very hard the d p w and the highway department came in over the last week of the summer to clean up the grounds around our schools and i have to say the the collective effort with the town of minister's office and gerry bo and other folks in the d v d of you and highway mike's into a row are just amazing teamwork amongst the different departments and throughout the town and so we're very thankful to to all those departments that help the schools open up in a in a good way for all of our families and all of  students and staff i bring to your attention the counter for for of parents of faculty and staff this is the counter that's been given out in hardcopy as well as a time line on the front is the all the months of the year with our parents and students and teachers are on the same page with when students come to teach and say i celebrate this holiday i'm going to be out next door tomorrow the teachers can make accommodations and if over a reasonable time for a quiz to be made up for homework to be made up  because you want to make sure that we have knowledge and respect of holidays that are presented in our community and the first holidays it will be coming into our calendar will be the jewish holidays next week i believe it's friday the twenty first birthday place and we hope that this calendar respects all religions and all folks that we represent and have in our community and also gives our faculty a chance to to navigate their academic day and academic we could cordingley to keep the work moving so we'll see how we do this year i think last year when all of our athletics at the high school has started was very exciting right around mid august you see the field start to fill up with young students boys and girls for anything from field hockey to football to soccer and it's exciting i think the first games of our given played and because luck to all of our student athletes it from our high school we have also to day in students day to day in gauging students in good teaching learning but also help with our park requirement where all students have to be tested on a device so that was a win win it allows us to be compliant with that state expectation but more our professional development around the achievement gap that we're doing this year around social motional learning which will continue in this year also with technology that they offer and provide he ended the grants that they give out each year  impact every single classroom so every time i get a chance to take the foundation for the month education i do and at the start the year with those great things in place is helpful to our teachers and impacts the students directly  y we have a couple of events coming up but right now our p t o s are p t a s palms patrons boosters all of those folks are asking for support to give students of enriching experiences in classrooms or an athletic fields or in the band room or in the music room or the marching band we can't thank those volunteers enough for the work that they do so instead of thanking them at the end of the year i want to proactively say thank you for your work that you do to start the year those funds  always go to good use and all the extras that our students are able to take advantage of and in some ways some of the basics that us students are able to take advantage of are funded through all those volunteer groups so thank you to all those folks in advance when we talk about opening schools i want to let folks know that we are planning a meeting with our after school care supervisors in groups to see how the year started talk about their enrollment in their capacity and if they have wait lines for services provided especially at our elementary level we want to talk to them like we did in the spring to problem solve around any issues they may be had they may be having in the spring we found out that we have a lot in common a lack of space high a role the more families and students that are coming to us for services and there has to be some some things that we can figure out to conserve our families well and  will we will do that kind of work and then we'll invite a parent group in to use the feedback group to work at their feedback as well there were several families that we start at the end of august that had frustration around that issue and where we want to make sure that we can have dialogue you know brainstorm as best we can and if you can have some strategies so i want the public to know that that work is being done and i will be contacting the parents that contacted me to to get a group together to meet after we meet with the supervisors of each one of those afterschool programs and then so just big thank yous and events to keep in mind the belmont public school teachers gallery of art will take place at the home building from september seventh through october sixth i believe our teachers have some sort of an opening event this friday so please check our website that's great stuff they are a talented group you see all the art from our students in the conference room in the superintendent's office i think the teachers work is probably equally as good if not a little better if they are the teacher i in the rain last year they had over four hundred students in the family show up we're hoping for a good night and would like to make sure that folks come out to great event thank you to john haas and one of our parents and thank you to jim davis in our coaches for making sure that that happens s all student athletics at the high school is

school nights and be a presence at those to give people information we are also bill of allah myself and others for that many will be speaking at every p t o between now and the middle of august to give everybody an update so we think our p t o presidents for helping organize that calendar so we can all get in front of each school community and give them the information about the building project where we are and where we hope to be over the next few seventy people that we've been solicited invitations to the entire community for parents and guardians and educators so we have about thirty educators and thirty community members and ten students taking part on september nineteen september twenty those are full day events and we're also doing it event here at the general at seven pm on tuesday the nineteenth to give everybody an update everybody's welcome to come we're going to send out one more reminder tomorrow from my office and we're really hoping to get a good audience at the night a vent as well you'll see these around town this is the new logo with the belmont public school building project he'll address i'm sorry i website address will make these available everywhere we can so people can continue to log on you can sign up for e mails on that site you can look at the calendar of events that have to do with the building committee and pretty soon they'll be capable in dialogue and video and that and also just to note that many of the events that superintendent failand mentioned as coming down the pike also will have will present opportunities for community members to ask questions about that school building project because there will be information available offered to donate the balance of the funds of their account for the belmont public schools for whatever's needed i was determined that the money could be used for of that equipment and the total amount was one thousand dollars so we thank jane in the entire class of forty nine donation from president mailing of our two thousand seven hundred for sure which goes out to our entire community we really hope that that donation escalates into a higher robot for our adult ed classes to get everybody could notice and ability to sign up so we twenty thousand eight hundred sixty eight dollars to bum one high school which was deposited in the high school donation receiving a revolving count the money will the money will be used to supplement the cost of educational supplies purchased at the high school and i would say  folks who contributed  things so for the community we just want to talk a little bit about the enrollment the transportation the strategically and in the hiring that happened over the summer preparation for the opening of school for the school committee this will be somewhat of a repeat from up w elementary level it goes through every grade now the class size and i think it's important to note on a few things first of all we'll do our formal role in presentation after october one because that's the date that the state uses to record the official mark of all the public schools and roll that for the for the year and that's the date in the roman number that we have used throughout our entire time here as we have projected a roman to look back on historical note is that total one number and they wait until october when because it has to be a shift of families that may have moved out of the district and a shift if it was it had may have moved into the district so we experienced that kind of transition like most districts this year has been a little different year but  new students a district that means that we're bigger by one hundred thirty five students than we were last year now that's a function of a small graded high school leaving a graduating in june and a maybe a bigger can a garden coming in and also it's the result of a substantial amount of folks coming into the district each school has gotten several more students and the cherry wins the prize for the most new students right now it's probably close to ninety new students that they have taken in net new the high school has taken a net new we think about fifty four and at the elementary level we believe we're somewhere around  i should say not new the gross new numbers the numbers that we know of new students coming in is one hundred three at the elementary ninety one at the middle school in fifty four will figure out the net number as we start to exit the families the reason why we give you that gross numbers a it's all we know right now we don't know all the families have moved out can be when you total up all the students that are new to the district just grades one through twelve doesn't count kindergarten it's right around two hundred seventy students so we're meeting two hundred seventy new students not counting the three hundred thirty kindergartners that we all know and you were acclimating another two hundred seventy families and students to this district so they come in it all grades anywhere from twenty five in ninth grade to twenty eight and sixth grade another twenty eight and fifth grade so these are new families coming in that we need to walk that we need to acclimate in transition into the belmont public schools and the culture of the climate in the and can access all the things that we offer and about more public schools so we are looking at one hundred thirty five net new that's an unofficial number that's that's bigger than the hundred that we anticipated and what i project for the october one roman does that number will only get higher because there's only one way our current students can go which is some folks may leave who haven't told the shot and there's only one way for new students to go which is either the same or higher and i can say that after these sheets were printed last week i personally assigned seven elementary students in the last two days so i know that that number is bigger by seven so it's really one hundred forty two so when we have been projecting an average of about one hundred students  year this year is a little bit of a blip and increase every minds we have two or three years ago we had one hundred twenty four so that average has been and if you remember the sheet that we have used quite often with the public  we have been looking at this this same chart that we just keep populating each year so people get used to consistency we had ninety four one year of a back in october one in two thousand and thirteen we had one hundred forty two and then we went back down to eighty six eighty one and last year was one hundred five and this year we're at least at one hundred forty this year so that tends to be a little higher again these things average out over time but it continues to be a concern of the district that the enrollment that we see is outpacing the allocation of staff that we've been able to assign to our schools from the overwrite the last three years and we have assigned ten teachers or f t s in year one five so the other part of this conversation at the elementary level is in an attempt to keep our class size down home we have assigned families to attend schools outside their attendance syria so to explain to the public who know this as part of the registration process but we guarantee that you live in town you can go to a belmont public school but we just don't guarantee which one we hope to put you in your home district in your home school but if the class size becomes too high we reserve the right to have you attend another school so we can keep class sizes balance and if you notice in the sheet that we have in front of you we had a goal of keeping class size at twenty two or less at the kindergarten age which is a very important grade and we achieved that we added an extra kindergarten class at the burbank and by doing so we were able to fill up those classes at the burbank but also fill the other schools up as well but knock over twenty two we added an extra first grade at the bottom of this year and we were worried that we might not get enough students over to the butler because we're again we're trying to assign students from all of the district but we're not trying to take too many families out of their home area the class size that the butler first grade even though they added an extra class a still twenty two twenty two twenty one twenty one  so build it in they will come so we had classes they seem to fill pretty quickly we did not add agreed to this year we have two extra classes in our grade three that currently has a class of three hundred ninety two students in our  three and we added a great four class this year that when brooke and again we filled that class up that class just twenty three twenty two twenty two twenty three twenty one so the classes that we added in the funds of the town provided us were well used in an obviously well needed absent those added classes we would have had significant class sizes in all four of those five grades so we think we take the town for the support and we know moving forward that if these numbers that can continue to increase that that kind of support is going to be actually needed as we move these children up to the middle school and as we try to move teachers and classes over to the burbank modulus that that will happen next september so the roaming picture is fluid  upward and the official recording of that in the official presentation will be at i'm second meeting our first meeting in october which will all be able to use official data other any questions  appreciate their hard work when you have a whole lot more students were very thankful that we were able to add one more bus to our fleet we currently have eight buses yes so as our road has grown to over forty five hundred just from a few years ago being thirty five hundred we have over a thousand more students that we had just seven years ago a lot of students and with that comes the need to get students from home to school and school hoops so that's been a very big task t and this is also the second year that we're using the online registration system is it's really been successful we really are putting up i think june fifth so before school even let out last spring we have many many  students registered for the bus already and registering really really helps the business office in configuring their routes to try to optimize the traffic that is in town and we try to get students to school as quickly as possible i can say that today we have eight hundred  thirteen students registered for the bus so that's about one out of every five or six students in the bom of public schools takes them takes the bus to and or from school so it's far as actual operations this year overall receiving positive reports from the the buses and i think everyone knows that the buses service all three levels elementary middle and high school with some exceptions to that is that we're making some adjustments in some of the ro start times and some of the routes themselves for buses that service the cherry and information that the buses have been late to school consistently already and so we want to address that we typically wait for the first week or two equilibrium is the least proud of using that word so travel doesn't get bounced off until after the first couple weeks but we're aware of consistently bus number eight at the cherry was late and so we need to make some changes levels to look at the bus rival times and probably at the end of this week well enough data to begin to look at if there are any other estimates that we need to make them i also so as far as bussing kind of operational information i'd like to remind the parents about well in schools many i think we all know that school districts are required by law to provide busing for all students in grades going to got through six with two miles or more from their assigned school so one thing i'd also like to say is that parents and scrooge should know that a number of the buses that we have already had near capacity so what that means is a number of students have the sit through to a seat so all my students kind of slide in next to  able on that bus we of us can actually hold more than the number of students that were actually assigned but that assumes every seat is three students to a seat and that's really not feasible in a lot of cases surely not a high school probably not the cherry possibly the elementary school one thing i'd like to let parents know we we communicate this but sometimes parents are really aware of unless and until it happens students in grades going to gotten through second grade must be met at the bus stop by a parent or another adult known to that student sometimes they may be a neighborhood of children and one of the parents from the neighborhood receives all the children that that's fine but if there's a can it gotten through second rate student on the bus and there's not an adult didn't receive that student the protocol is for the test to to remain on the bus and at the end of the route the bus will take that child back to school in bringing the main office and then the principals are to recall the parent if on the off chance that the school was on occupied that the principal secretary is not there then the bus would actually take the child to the police station and that's all just to make sure that the student is safe it doesn't happen very often but who helped drive a lot of this work the online pieces been very helpful to facilitate the payment in signing up in creating bus rosters that we can actually use to contact families and interact with folks very specific to the bus route that they're on and they get to the parents and it like every year patience is appreciated over the first few days this year was a little different because we had a lot more students in and out of the bus route and i appreciate tony's patience in a push of the parents patience with letting things administrators to our to our district and preschool assistant principal one for part time but at the high school as well we're very thankful to have all those folks on board and there is no  shortage of work when it comes to ensuring that all of our new stuff are brought into the district with mentors that are provided with training at the last week of august with with janice that's a two day event in first year teachers and second in teachers good mentors which is a huge help to ensure the successful entry into the belmont public schools and that if you're new to teaching or if you're a veteran teacher who comes from the district we want to make sure that those of those educators have the transition i needs to take in terms of the delts in terms of the children to make sure that we are providing the best opportunity for students to learn but again we in terms in terms of their social and emotional learning and it's through that we're there we have  understood more deeply the work that we need to do for our african american black students both in terms of our understanding of how learning best happens and how students miss learning when they feel safe and welcomed and for the whole child th bring to school every day and through our climate surveys that we did last year and the middle and high school students who responded indicate for those who self identified is solely or partly african american or black that there were spons ame way that that their peers are feeling lucky and therefore their brains are are skinny for thread instead of learning all of those pieces have come together in our work over the last two years and it was with that in mind bed that we spent this summer  members of the leadership council meeting basically every monday all summer long for a couple of hours every every monday thinking about we're bringing this to all staff we need all staff to start to think about well what does it mean for me as an educator what are the the ways that i need to become more aware and left war on the experiences of all the students in my class and particularly those who don't feel like they have a place at the table  secretaries it's our custodians our food service it's everybody all of the adults who work with our children every day so that the matter who is is interacting with the child he or she knows it that adult supports ve decided that our larger goal of implementing short term plans and developing long term vision to address student achievement gaps for this year our goal would be first of all to knowledge that we have an achievement  gap to recognise that we all have a responsibility to address and to create an environment where people can feel curious and courageous to address our african american black students experience in our classes and schools and the impact it has on their learning  it's really about the focus of the adults in the adult learning and of course we hope that will have some media and it and for our students but the work needs to start with the adults so as as you know on opening day we get that  with the speech that that john shared with everybody on september sixth the following day was a faculty meeting and part of the work we did over the summer was to build the meeting took the professional learning in the slideshow so that it would be the same in every school and most of the principals were there at the various points or in the summer as well as the directors so together we we just we figured out well what was the right amount to try and do on that day knowing of course it's also the first day with students so it's with race growing up in experiences of race in the media and beginning to practice that that ability to feel curious and to have the courage to talk about things that maybe you hadn't felt comfortable talking about before so that was step one tomorrow is another meeting at which for which we have designed the same presentation and learning activities for all teachers across the district will be meeting in fact with the groups for the elementary and then in department groups for middle and high school and that focus of tomorrow's meeting is around implicit bias how does your brain work and how do you need to become aware of that so that you not do things that would feel hurtful to an african american or black student so that and we'll also look at some more of the local data including state standardized test data as well as grades  student learning goal so thank you to lindsay rinder who last year developed a set of them that are just samples models that that include resources links you can click on and and things you can read to to understand how to go about the work trying to smooth the path so that people who are instant interested don't have to think of on their own how to put it all together of course they can be modified and this year she added a couple more so will be sharing those with also all teachers a t the end of the meeting tomorrow and hope that some will feel inspired to want to take it on as their own professional learning for this year and then will have as on the october fourth the early release day that you had mentioned earlier we are very pleased to have instructors from ideas ideas stands for initiatives for developing equity and achievement for all students they were formally called p m i empowering multicultural initiatives and they  oh a very wonderful job with active anti racist teaching and cultural proficiency and we thanks to the foundation for belmont education who awarded a very generous grant to us to be able to to bring them to the district will be having two instructors in every school so six workshops through our workshops really working on identity and that and your own identity and understand you know identities so that and its impact on your practices to cater for as an adult working with children and then following that will continue to offer opportunities during the year now the principals will continue to make this part of the work they do with their faculty all year long as will the director have a date still to be determined on that or dates series of dates but that will be another opportunity and that's that's the big picture work of the short term these these weeks leading up to october fourth and really  who has ideas about it and also looking forward to our meeting next week where we'll share what we learn from our summer reading books also on these topics  ok i'd be curious to think about or learn later on how this work trickles down to the student level and how they are informed about the efforts formally or informally and i mean clearly informally it will it happened in interactions and in subtle and explicit ways it would just be interesting to sort of get a sense as time marches forward how educators notice during the last two agenda items together we've got an update on hiring obviously we're seeing the classroom is another being served re imagine that can be helpful in some of these things how did we do in hiring kind of busy african american black and so it's a both and we need to keep working on that and we need to make sure that all of the white educators understand and and can do a better job of becoming more aware and developing that lands to make  will be interesting over time to see how this work does trickle down to students and what that means for student experiences and then students academic outcomes because ultimately we're school and that's that's why we're here we want all students who achieve a high level of we believe that that's our major belief in this also some changes that may trickle up to policies and practices that we as school districts have in place or school buildings have in place that we might need to reexamine so when we start to have these conversations about it and make sure we're creating a place where we're building relationships and our folks are welcome and we get we ask for feedback on that and then they tell us they're not then you start to ask well why and how come in who are those folks and then as you start to look into that so it every every quarter it comes with a couple of different you know new data points that we want to shine light on with the hope and expectation that when we shine light on enough of them that we are hiring a little differently we are engaging kids in a certain way differently we are not only focused on how we make all students feel but maybe the scaffolding that we need we need to do to some folks for the african american or they just came to the country last week or they don't speak the language or how we were going izing our resources our policies in our culture of our schools to make sure that everybody walks in feeling that way because that's when the money will go and so we've identified areas that we really need to be examined in the they very much point towards our african american black students and their experience in their student outcomes and when we think about the the good work that we do in the district every day and i think a lot of our teachers were nodding their heads like i understand you mean i want to take this on i've been talk to my colleagues about this but when you look at the data you realize it does work to be done and so we're ready for that work and we're saying that work out loud and we look forward to it and the work that we do with all students will enhance the experience of the office of the students and the work that we do and some students i think we universally benefit all students as we go through their work so i think janice and i think the entire faculty and staff are taking it on and i think that we got a good reception in our first few meetings and work with our adults and so we look forward to more of that and as we have with r c l when we get to that point to report back there might be some metrics that we want to use and talk about as to how we report that back but i think that we actually need to look the work take place of the adults first before we get to that point i remember one of the metrics that we used and talked about with i c l was the survey and that said last year was the developing the trust so that families feel they can come to us and we could have converse open and honest conversations about their students experience in school because if a student kids is is not feeling welcome at school  the pair probably knows that whether then if i think we need to have that relationship in place so that we can have those conversations that's that's one one way and we need to do those relationships for a lot of reasons but but that hopefully is one i'm on the agenda for february first at the general i can certainly reach out to the others and i'm also looking to pick out two i've spoken with basic and the other aftercare programs and offer them to learn some of what we're doing as well classrooms according to strict vision in teaching so what where what we mean by that goal is that we are on a short term set of goals that we have for us also provide space immediately at all he loves the district we're also exploring the work through building a new high school which really could be labeled as a new school in the community it could be great seven to twelve through twelve or nine to twelve we have done visioning work hard to start to talk about what  learning is going to look like over the next you know several years up to twenty five or thirty years to make sure that the school that we build actually provides a context and is a tool in that learning just the building that we learned but actually helps the learning take place and that visioning work will continue on september nineteenth and twentieth as a i referred to earlier tonight and that visioning work after it informs what the new school could look like and how we pick our options so then transition into a lot of data that we will use to create an extra teacher plan for the district we are trying to get i would i would call it too far out of this visioning work if this is good work that we're getting from educators and students and community members but what we see in the future of what we want to engage actually of how we best how they must learn how teachers best collaborate and engage students if it's good enough for the new building it needs to be good enough to push the district work forward so we're go double up on that work and we'll be working with a facilitator that separate from the building program to organize that work for us russian teacher plan that we will do later in the spring i guess i just feel like we have a lot of medium bowling balls that we're starting to juggle with a lot of these things that we're doing but we think a lot of them have consistent work amongst it were trying to mainstream that work in and and be very efficient and productive with the work that we're doing with our parents and teachers so we think that that goal being one that is front and center will help facilitate that work not only for the space issues that we have now in the new high school but also for the next teacher and so that's still the goal to to have those forces move out of the districts where for is as far as the belmont high school building committee there's a slew of meetings that are out there that we're asking the public about again i look i ask people to look for this website in this card will be given out every everything that you'll be  over the next month and a half to two months meet belmont to all your open houses build a follow who's the chair and i will be at every p t o meeting that starts the school year and we will be a presence to not only give you updates ask you for your feedback let you know what the visioning looks like let you know of any updates around all the different aspects of this building project and there are a lot of different aspects of this building project to keep everybody informed as we walk ourselves through the fall of this body the school committee will be have to be front and center in this to making process because at some point in late november early december we'll be asked to decide whether or not we think the building could be seven through twelve a through twelve or nine through twelve if we can keep on this aggressive timeline to make that decision we can give that information to our architects who can then shape the schematic design of the new facility that will be presented to the town in the spring and the m s p in the spring that has to be then approved by the and this way not only in the spring but then again in the summer with the hope that maybe next fall or the latest next spring that we could have a vote by the time to fund a project that people fully understand fully support in feel is a good fit for the for the time of the month so this is an exciting time for the district this is a project that i think will be one of the bigger ones of the t take on to the next few decades so we want to make sure that we engage every part of our community and and listen and take feedback and input and reporting these so that they'll be a lot of  i think it'd be helpful for the viewing public everyone to speak with people at the swimming pool at starbucks at wherever you find yourself and try to engage people in conversations because it's in everyone's best interest to pay attention to the work that's happening a happening and as you say rapidly send it to that in there are specific community forums that have been put on the calendar and again the website will sort of provide those dates but there are specifically designed to try to engage different members of the community says some of the evening or some on saturday we're doing some in a read after drop off so we have the basic the goal is to acknowledge that certain times work for certain people but we want to make sure that everybody has a chance to contribute and all of those community forms will be the only updates on what's going on but also specific opportunities for the community to have a voice and to come to the microphones and make sure that the building to a school committee and then the rest of the on a project for pretty
