but excused absences yeah all right I'm glad to be back Jo Chief Court representative of the uh school district have support so who want would like to begin I'll start I'll start with what's going on in the high school right now so um there's a lot of excitement about the
senior trip which is coming in mid-march um student council is holding a movie night just to get um excitement up for that too and a lot of teachers have been uh talking about like alternative trips and a lot of kids are taking trips on their own with their families and um
like friends and stuff and that's usually why they're not tending to go on the senior trip but everyone's really excited just for this time of year um other than that we have uh a history class of taking a trip to DC and that's the sophomores and a few seniors who are in um a push I believe and then finally
we had a New York City trip to go see Hamilton on Broadway it was it was awesome we saw them in late like we saw them about a week ago and um it was it was a really great trip um we had some freedom to roam around in the beginning and then um we all gathered together to
see Hamilton for the Performing Arts you're in town which is our our School Musical is happening next week and we have the preview assembly for it next Wednesday and then this year we're doing a Pops concert which is going to be um in the mid-march and this is like a new event for this year so that's really
exciting other than that there's just been a lot of um talk about the Eagles and just a lot of uh events like spirit days for that so that's kind of what's going on in the high school right now uh it's been a busy for it's upcoming busy month in the Middle School throughout the month of February they're doing a
lot for um anti-discrimination and inclusivity for Black History Month uh for example they're doing um like a not place for hate sort of program where they have um this mural of a hawk on the wall with a pledge um for inclusivity and against um
prejudice and discrimination and students sign their name on a feather and they put the feather on the hawk and it makes out we saw it on on our way there it's actually very beautiful and they've also been doing Black History Month uh trivia over the announcements um throughout month of February um and during lunches they've
done a program called no one eats alone which is mixed lunches students um are like assigned different tables rather than um having their own choice of who they usually sit with and other in inclusivity activities uh like along those lines uh they're also doing read
for the house which if you're not familiar with what it is they're um it's like a reading program organized to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House students are asked to read daily and they have adults or teachers or Guardians have um they pledge a certain
amount of money for each minute red uh for the students and then the students just read as much as possible and um all the proceeds go to the Ronald McDonald House which is very nice and the eth graders just recently started um uh course selections for next for
next year uh they're asking BMR for advice on things like that cuz it's their first time doing it and they said it's been going well cuz the the two students we meet with are graders so they're going through that process for the first time but yeah other than that um they have Matilda Jr which is the um
spring musical for them they had a Winter Dance recently which was a good turnout um yeah that's pretty much it it was pry busy month Joe I don't know if the board had an opportunity to formally congratulate you you being acceptance I think you got out about it but you weren't here so
congratulations thank you thank you thank you I don't know if we have a final decision for you for a university yet not yet I'm leaning more towards pit but I'm not sure is it between pit and pit and Pen State pen State yeah great um so here's
the question right you know we met in work session at the end conversation uh with a board member and and the question is like the feeling is that hand of seniors are you know getting into the good schools right not just you the majority of our kids are we getting
what's the feeling we don't have survey right we don't have like the file from the guidance Department like what is the actual feeling among classmates are we getting into schools that we think we should get into are are students being awarded like the Merit money that
they're hoping for at least some of it um if not are they finding Pathways to considering options for the trades are are kids excited about their future next year yet or is there what what's it like out there and just a bell curve
everywhere right so what do you feel I feel like right now um most of the it's mostly been early decisions coming out so and that tends to have more positive uh feedback because it's a lot of students the acceptance rate tends to be higher for early action and early
decision so um from what I've heard most people are getting good results back and and good money we've always had an overachieving grade like all through all through middle school and through high school so I think so far throughout early decision i' would say it's been mostly uccessful a lot of people um
getting getting good news and as far as trades go I feel like we won't hear as much about it until later in the spring just because there's no like set decision date for the trades and for military like there is for for college which is May 1st so I think we'll hear more about that as as the year
progresses yeah I agree I think even if kids work into their first or second schools there they're really excited for the other options that they have and I don't think anyone's extremely discouraged with with any of the schools are going to because we see the B board out by the principal's office that's
listed the schools that kids have gotten into but you know it's hard to determine right we don't the disappointments aren up on that board right so it's hard to kind of collect that information sometimes the private privacy thing you know you don't want to ask any questions but you know the board would like to
know the administration would like to know like you know how are we do are we preparing are we preparing the senior class for where you want to go and what you want to do as our role right College and Career Readiness uh so as you talk to your friends and your and your peers you know maybe dig into that a little
bit you know good feedback you know whether it's good or bad if it's quality feedback we would value it sounds good yeah all right so um great job with your report at this time I going to delegate the next part of my superintendent
report to uh Lori Massie we HED L Mass over a year ago and you know when the board came to me at the end of the year say like we feel like we know you know mo some of the administrators we haven't seen them in a while we like to see them back out you know at the meetings well
Lor's never been to a meeting and I don't think the board has ever actually had a chance to be forly introduced uh to princial masses so it's been a year um we're super pleased to have you you've made a great Mark in the district so so so far and um it's a pleasure
working with you but ly take the time to introduce yourself to the board and the community and tell us how things are going all right well good evening thank you for having me I'm Lori Massie um so I am the principal at story and Jennings and what it honored is to be at these two buildings um I put a little
presentation together to kind of just tell you about who I am as far as an educational leader and what I feel is important and how to make buildings successful um but I will say that the staff at both Jennings and sty make my job extremely easy because I have
wonderful wonderful teachers and I'll go into some detail about I have very high expectations and I got no push back at all from many of my staff members when it was like okay guys you guys are doing an awesome job it's time to kind of raise the bar so I'll kind of go through that um in the presentation at any point
if you have any questions um feel free to um ask away I'm sorry I don't want to have back to you um so who I am as a leader uh what I feel is important we want our students to cide we want success there and for me that begins with our teachers
um it's important for my teachers to feel supported it's important for them to feel appreciated and it's also important to make sure that we have that communication and that um partnership with our families so before any of this can begin any um administrator at the
building level will'll let you know our number one goal honestly is the safety um of our students and our staff so that always starts and this year at the two buildings we have what we call called the sac which is safety and kindness that is the theme of our building so
safety is always number one so we know we are following all the updated mandates it's something I take extremely um serious you know not only do we do our drills we have our doors locked we're making sure that there are no um adults or anyone in the building that we do not know so before we can even get to
the academic success we have to make sure that everyone at all times bus that safety so with that um it's important for I like I said for my teachers to feel that support and that partnership and that communication with um home and family so like I said the the value of our
teachers is where the success lies in my opinion and it's also important for that collaboration so I talk about collaboration not just between myself and with the um the staff but the staff with one another so I'll go into a little bit more detail of how I tried to implement that this year to make sure
that teachers have um a sound Ino with someone else being that in both of my buildings there's only one of every grade level so I wanted to kind of create a community between the two buildings so that's something that's very important to me and Innovation um I want staff at all times to feel the
Comfort the freedom the flexibility to try new things uh we ask for students to do it all the time you know I want you to problem solve I want you to take risks it's okay to fail well that starts with our teacher so I want them to feel that comfort knowing that they can try whatever they think is in the best
interest of our students and I will support them it may not work and that's okay we learn from that just like our students do so that's something it's also very important to me um as a leader so like I mentioned I have high expectations um but that does not come
without the support of myself and the encouragement I am not going to ask teachers that I expect you to raise the bar here and then send them on their way it is something we do together you will hear any of my staff when I talk it is never my building it is our building so it's what can I do to help you and to
support you to where I know we need to go when I said about the teachers when I said okay we're going to raised the bar they were all on board and the conversations I've had I'm extremely pleased um I also provided some resources and I'll get into a little bit
about how this all started so last year when I first started it's midy year so my job at that point is to really get to know the culture of the building get to know the staff get to see what are we doing really well and where are some areas that we can kind of improve I did that through walkthroughs I did that
through um observations and at the end of the year we have what we call summi of meeting with all our teachers so it's a really nice opportunity where I can talk oneon-one with teachers and say okay so tell me what do you feel we're doing really well where do you feel some areas that we can improve here's what I'm seeing so this is when I kind of
laid the ground the foundation then and I said all right staff we're doing a really good job we as a district are going to look at in increasing our small group time because that's our biggest bank for our buck but with that comes a lot of independent time for students not
with teachers so that's why I was like this is a time where we now have to raise the bar as what are our students doing independently I don't want to see busy work I don't want to see just a bunch of worksheets I want to see engagement I want to see Hands-On activities I want to see um students
that have accountability for what they're doing that independent time because I can go in classrooms and I could be a pair of eyes and students can be quiet and and they could be looking at a book doesn't mean the reading doesn't mean the comprehending so what are we doing to make sure that that time
independently is time while spent so that's where I kind of had these conversation I want you to start thinking about this teachers over the summer this is the direction we're going come the new year but I'm going to be there along the the entire time with you I had individual conversations with teachers after the fact like what do you
think about this what if I do something like this um so what we then created was a Google doc of resources it was a p to two and then a 3 to five of all different resources that teachers could use that are utilizing right now Within in their classrooms because it was like
let's work smarter not harder I have an activity I'm going to share it you can kind of go on you can see if you want to use it you can modify it to make it work for your classroom for your grade level so this way we are sharing the different resources that we're doing because we have success share it with those that
are around you around you so that's how this all started we then um I wanted to talk about that collaboration I thought it was important we have two meetings a month one meeting is a fact meting that I run with both schools and the other one is an opportunity for teachers to
collaborate with I call their grade level partner they have the flexibility of doing a zoom or coming to each other's building and some grade levels enjoy going to the other building they like to see the classrooms they like to see the activities like to see the Hands-On materials that teachers are doing so at that time teachers um
sometimes I give them of what I like them to talk about and sometimes I'm like what do you guys want to talk about what are some challenges you may be having that you want to kind of Bounce an idea off of colleague so we had time that we gave them to look through the um the resource of that online Google doc
there are times that we talk about the the equity lessons that we're doing in the elementary schools there are times we've talked about PD sections what did you learn in that P the the whole thought is to have a conversation that the next day you're going to use this in class um so there's different U ideas of
what they talk about during this time but it was just a nice idea that I'm a third grade teacher and now I have someone that I can go to and say I'm really having trouble with um a fluency Center what are you doing what are you what's working the teachers are doing a phenomenal job as far as um adding
different Resources with sea Sal sees Sal has been phenomenal as far as an accountability piece for our students so again that brings our Innovation different things that teachers are trying and sometimes they have to tweak it they have to modify it they may not like the way it worked with
something so they're they're making those changes what I did at the beginning of this year was all my observations were done on this guided reading piece and the time of that small group where I'm looking at that accountability piece so I wanted to follow through with what we talked about at the end of last year and when I tell
you I'm thrilled I'm so happy of what I'm seeing teachers um facilitate within their classroom so now that we have that we're not stopping but now that we have that we now have a focus as our two buildings on math cuz math is just as important as far as as far as that small
group is concerned so my second round of observations teachers know I'm going to be coming and I'm going be looking at that small group math same thing what are we doing well how can I help you where can we improve we also started an initiative um so this came from a post conference I
was having with a teacher and what I love about my teachers is my teachers are always wanting more I can give them um some feedback like yeah yeah but what else can I do like they're they're now they're like okay let's let's keep that bar going so we had a conversation um with a teacher and I said have you ever
heard of voting think in classrooms it's just a different approach to instructing your math and she says no so by the time the post conference was done the book was in her Amazon cart by the next day it had spread around the school that everyone was buying this book it was something they all wanted to try and
then it's going on to the other school as well so then it turned into let's have a volunteer book club so we met over the summer um and we had a a discussion about this the book this is nothing that was mandated this was just something that teachers wanted to try so
what I love about this is this is the time that teachers are facilitators they're not that teacher standing in front of the classroom talking to the students all you hear is students talking problem solving they're discussing they are showing their
reasoning or explaining their reasoning and why that's important to me is when we look at the data from our njsla for math reasoning was one of those low points so this is an opportunity for those students to really have um a time to explain their thinking so let's say
I'm in a group and I may not understand this concept as strong as the other students in my group but what happens is they're going to Now teach me I'm going to learn and now I have to take my um iPad and I have to now explain to the teacher how we solve this problem so now I'm accountable for my own learning and
it's coming from the support of my peers so there's a lot of problem solving um to the teachers that kind of took this and ran with it I wouldn't say they're experts by any means but they're getting there um asked me to come in and formally observe during this which I never would do this is something that's
new for teachers I certainly want to give them that pressure but they asked for um an observation on that and I didn't have too much feedback to give because again this is new and they're they're really kind of getting their feet W wet with it and I was extremely proud but what those same teachers want
to do now is they want to kind of open their classrooms what we're going to call our instructional rounds just like doctors do their rounds we as educators are going to go do our rounds and we're going to go and observe the teachers doing this style um of teaching so the teacher kind of gives problems to
students they're all around the room in their groups they're problem solving they have to um solve the different problems and they can explain it and then the teacher kind of reviews it later so it's it's it's wonderful to see in practice so now we are again going to go and bring it to the other grade
levels within the buildings not mandated it's for those that want to it's not done every day it's it goes along with the math program that we're using so that is something that we're doing in the area of math to kind of improve again those math scores so weal I talked about the
teachers and I need the teachers to feel appreciated I I want them to feel um valued within their own building so I try to do something each month so I do my wagon so I come around with my wagon and and Lisa going to test so it's
actually cute in the very beginning they don't know what's coming so I knock on the door and I say Mrs M I need to see you in the hallway please and they come in like wo you are awesome and I have you really can't see but I have all different snacks and I've got drinks and it was like I appreciate
all you do thank you for all you do would you like a snack and this goes to every staff member in the building I've done this with coffee so they're they're picking up on now when I come to the door and ask to see them one time I had a teacher sure I go and I knock door I said um I need to see in the hallway she
said there's there's no woot loot wagon I'm like no I really need to see you so um I try to do something different we just finished our door decorating contest so we do have to have our door shut and locked so our our hallways don't look as vibrant as I want
them to so we did a decorating um contest and it brought our hallways to life so um each school had a winner I had the custodians be the um the Jud tomorrow sto finds out who their winner is and there was a prize for um the two
classrooms that that won uh we've done hidden rainbow which is just a little Rainbow that I hide around the school I did four each building and then you have to look at the number on the back you bring it to me and there's a prize that goes along with that um rainbow right now we're doing a hug and a mug so
that's a little mug so this mug is kind of giving you a hug and it's got all kind of treats in it kind of like you know the boo that you do around Halloween time so that's what our hug and the mug is at at this time I can't say what March is but I'm really excited for March um it's going to be it's going to be a lot of fun but these are the things I hope teachers kind of look
forward to and they they feel good at the end of the day knowing that they were recognized for the good that they do each day in our schools um like I said safety and kindness is at the heart of what we're doing at both buildings so with that we
have a monthly kindness assembly we have little sheets of paper at both buildings that story is the story light bolts and N Jennings it's our Jennings um uh kindness stars and anyone in the building can nominate students for any reason codio staff secretaries support
staff teachers it's catching someone doing something kind doesn't take much to give a smile doesn't take much to give a lending hand so I want to highlight those type of behaviors so they are nominated and each month we have an assembly um what I do is I go
through them all and I pick the one that I want to start with the reason is because we really the entire sheet I can't do that for every student because our asss would take 2 hours and our kindergarteners would be rolling on the floor after some time so I try to pick a a student that maybe isn't always highlighted in the most positive light
and I want to make sure that they get their time to shine or I pick something that is something I want kids to hear Look What Lori did oh my so I'll pick things that are happening in before pair after pair Our Kind it still matters no matter where you are in the building or what time of day it is so I try to
highlight those I read them every everybody else's name we come up we get a picture there's music when you come in kids are dancing um at the end we do a little bit of dancing so with that we have a lunch with the principal and then we have my fun Friday phone call so I'm going to go
to the next slide which shows lunch with the principal is a big deal so each month there is a different theme it might depend on what you like as a student it might depend on where we are as far as the holiday or if it's the Eagles that are going on and we do this in front of everyone so everybody see
what it's like when you're a kind student you sit here at a table for two reserved only from Mrs Massie and their special guest sometimes kids come dress like this little girl she she matches with her her unicorn outfit matches our Decor so they they know the day that
they're going to have the parents know so they kind of um get them dressed up this will go in the newsletter and it will also go on the website so it's a nice time for me because it's 30 minutes of oneon-one time I learn about family I learn about Traditions I learn about what they enjoy Sports um and we have
very nice conversation so what happens at the end of the assembly the student that won the month before gets to come in they put their hand they Shake it up Shake it up Shake it up and they pick out a winner and then everybody kind of um puts and hollers because that person will be having lunch with the
principal so it is it's a big deal um these are I don't know if you can read these but on Fridays I call fun Friday phone calls and I call them fun because it's an opportunity for me to home to give some good news and that's just a
nice feeling the first thing when I call the first thing I say is everything is okay because they see the number and they said oh my goodness is it the nurse or what happened is so and so in trouble and I said I'm calling with some really good news and what happens is the teachers give um information as a Google
sheet and each week they nominate this is where I tell them I want you to put something that made your heart feel happy and made you like all warm inside because you notice a student do something not for any reason but because they're just being a kind a kind soul so when I call home um I will explain
exactly what they have done and I said I just want you to know your child knows nothing about this nomination so when they come home please please make a big deal and let them know that they're teacher in their princi schol very proud of them and job well done to you at home because we as parents we instill these
values and we hope that when they go off into society that they are showing what we're asking them um and being the person we want them to be and I want parents to know that yes they are so you'll see that some of them are will will be um we're very proud of him he
was proud of himself one wants to make sure that his room is gets clean because obviously he can do what he has to do so it always makes my day because I'll have parents that are in tears um and then kids will come the next day or that next Monday and oh my gosh got a phone call I
got to go pick out um when we got to dinner I got to go get ice cream so that's why I call my fun Friday so again this is connecting home with school and not always having the conversations that aren't always the fun ones we make sure that we make some fun phone
calls and that brings me to communication um it's important for me to be as transparent as I can be with not just families but with staff I like to make sure that they know as much as information as they can in real time so every uh Friday I do a massive minute so
that will let teachers know what's happening the next week what's coming up this could be districtwide of something that's going on um anything that I can kind of put on there I put on the link for the uh fun Freddy phone calls who's going for our PTA meeting so it's a spot that they can go to if they're they
can't remember something's coming up in the mark perod I know I'll go check massie's minute um and then the open door I want staff to know my door is always open whether it's a professional question a challenge or having something personal I'm always there for them and same thing with parents um parents email
I'm not a big with email I call in so if they send me an email let's talk about this my door's open I've had parents come in they want to discuss things absolutely what can I do to help you to make you better understand what's happening in our schools so I make sure that that communication is there and then that phone call so it's not just
the phone calls of concern but it's also to let them know what the great job that their child is doing at our building so in conclusion that's me I want to have fun I want to be positive but I do have high expectations and I think it's important to support the
teachers along that way um making sure that the community feels that they're a part of this learning experience because they certainly are we can't do it without them and all of us together is what's going to make us be the brightest that we can be any questions I do I know you're I know yeah
but just a one-on-one can you I always make you tell this but the dentist chair when you first started I me if you could just share that so I think that is just like really the picture so um I like to go into preschool because I don't know if you know you go into preschool there's Play-Doh there's like this thig
snow there's a sand there was a lot of fun things to do in there so I would go in there and play different toys and they were in um kind of like the kitchen area and I don't know how it started but all of a sudden they needed to play dentist and I was the patient so I sat
down in their little chairs and I was news to news with all the preschoolers and I had them took turns and they came into my face and told me to open my mouth and I was like they're like no open a I was like so here they are
looking at you have cavi so that you you've got to be ready to be in it with the the Freer so um I think I I did okay in my exam after like the fourth kid went by like okay Mrs Matthew really has to go now because every germ that's in this room is now I'm swallowing it but
it was fine it was fine but they know when I come in they're asking me to would you read a book I you know I go when I know when Go Noodle time is um I haven't been brave enough like when it's 30 Dees and they're outside to go see outside the playground but when they're inside I
am I I am I'm not I'm not sure the board will have any questions about the presentation but I will say all the things that um L present the teachers here will bu us uh you know there two things in common right that balance
between small group grp instruction keeping the student conducted at a dependent time all all those methodologies they're all current they're all research based and they're all really difficult to implement execute
consistently consistently right um and the fact that it was able to you know build in some opportunity for teachers to take risks without you know feeling support I think is is a great sign and you know you know I remember when I interviewed you you know you spoke about
these things so it's it's great to see everything kind of coming together in action see by see that you're enjoying the job abely thank you oh thank you yeah thank and the only thing I will share like this was when you first started I was
having probably a post observation with a a teacher post observation conference and the teacher was going on and on about like oh my gosh I was so embarrassed I looked back and realized that the new principal was on the floor in the classroom I didn't realize she I didn't know who it was I didn't know it
was probably like one of your first days so that is really just I think speaks volumes to how much you've added to the um experience at both building like you were one with the teachers and the and the students and we really appreciate it and and teachers embrace it cuz not all teachers love the fact that you're going
to be in their classroom every single day and I told them that I not here and I got you I'm here because I can't help if I don't know what's going on in the building so I come in every day for a walk through um just to get a pulse of what's happening and it's come to the
point now if they don't see me during the day I miss you where are you have you been like so now it just becomes part of the norm and I love that and the teachers love it so it is really just building that sense of community because it's important to me for for everyone to
feel like a family and I think that through this time together this past year we've kind of we're getting to that point of feeling that sense of community and then having that trust for me knowing that I'm there um to help them whatever it is a big meeting thank you principal Massie for
coming out just a few other kind of points of emesis before we move into the next presentation um I do want to acknowledge uh Kelly's leadership in the uh H state New Jersey fair funding Collective
meeting that was here last evening also attend John Chris Kristen done a lot of work behind the scenes but we hosted 13 districts in this room um K led the discussion everyone had similar concerns about how the school funding is form is actually functioning
and the shortsightedness of some of the elements of the formula and how it has hurt districts like had tach it everyone shared some of our concerns and we're hoping for a better outcome this year I think it was a really great night and we do some positive feedback today and uh
