Principal's Video Post
- I will be prerecording a video celebration of our students that will be in your inbox by 8:00am on Mondays.
- I would like to see the percentage of students receiving certificates increase.
- We currently only have 23% of our students completing the target number of puzzles in STMath at their grade level. This is from the past week
- Over the past 4 weeks, only 50% of our students met their usage requirements in Lexia
- I will mail students their certificates and they will be recognized in our Bitmoji School
- We will recognize our students in a variety of ways
Student of the Week
- Please provide me with the name of the student of the week in your classroom and the reason why you selected them by Saturday at 6:00
- At the leadership team, we discussed having a student of the week in all 3 areas (Safe, Responsible, Respectful)
- I would like to hear your thoughts on this. We could recognize more students this way but given our relatively small class sizes, it may feel a bit like everyone gets a trophy and dilute the meaningfulness.
- Please let me know via email, by 11/10, that yes you think this is a good way to proceed or no keep it at 1 student per clas
Lexia Certificates
- Students who have completed a level will receive a certificate
- The scope and sequence only calls for K0/K1 to complete one level
- At the leadership team, we discussed having K0/K1 students who completed their prescribed amount of time a certificate
- Please let me know via email by 11/10 if you think that this is a good way to proceed
- This week we have 2 K0/K1 students receiving certificates
- There are 13 students (7%) schoolwide receiving certificates for completing a level this week.
ST Math Certificates
- Students who have completed the prescribed number of puzzles will receive a certificate
- K0/K1= 20 Puzzles
- K2-1= 40 Puzzles
- 2-3 = 60 Puzzles
- There are 42 (23%) students receiving certificates for the week of 11/2
Birthdays of the Week (2 for this week)

Office Hours
- This was an exercise in futility, frustration, and guilt for me.
- Though I miss people just popping by my office we are leveraging texts and emails to get our questions answered
- I will no longer be signing on every morning at 8:30 for drop-in hours
- I will hold 8:30 office hours to discuss certain timely topics. Attendance at these will be voluntary.
- If you would like a standing meeting with me please let me know and we will schedule.
COVID
- The Governor had an interesting press conference today at 1:30
- I have linked it here
- Here is the Globe article summarizing the press conference
- Please listen carefully to the press conference and the scientific evidence that he and the doctor are citing
- Today Joseph Allen from Harvard's Chan School of Public Health conducted a DESE sponsored webinar for superintendents and facilities directors
- Here is the Chan School of Health's June Report on the Reopening of Schools
- I am sure that many of you have read it but in case you would like a refresher
- Based on what the Governor is saying and our experiences with how we welcomed back HIPP students I believe that if the district reopens we should fight to implement our full hybrid model. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts
- As an aside, listen to the Republican Governor's thoughts on Donald Trump at the end of the conference
