summer retreat last week. During retreat, the board discussed the results of our annual self-evaluation with our NJSBA field rep. The board also reviewed and discussed progress made to date against our board goals. The presence of the NJSBA field rep at our retreat enables the board to have the retreat
qualifies training hours which captured maintenance of our board certification in addition to helping us perform better as a board. Overall, it was a very successful event. Our next retreat will be in February where we will establish new goal new board goals. And last, I know that the fall sports season is
ramping up and I just want everyone to hopefully last you a good summer before the new year starts that I have a few items to report. First off through uh staff orient new staff orientation man along with support of our incredible administrative
professionals I helped prepare standing new staff orientation that began this morning and runs through Wednesday. She can speak more about it but I want to note that I'm really impressed with the level of organization and planning as well as the impressive energy not only hires but also her ad presenting and
sharing with them. The three days are organized by themes. Today's theme is learning your district policies and procedures. Uh tomorrow's theme is teaching and learning in today's educational environment and Wednesday we have the theme of establishing your
learning environment and I give an opening for be able to share great job of it. Um another update we received notification today about a preschool grant. This is not unfortunately the preschool expansion
grant. Um, so now I'm getting hopes up there. This is actually the NJPE, systemic change facilitation grant, which will begin in the 2627 school year. Um, it's the nearest prominent preschool expansion grant, but Miss Bronco put it, this will assist us with
embedding inclusive practices for preschool students with disabilities by transforming system supports and intervention systems. In other words, assisting us in making or making two of our four PSD classrooms into BSI, which is integrated classroom for the 26 27
school year. So, we'll have a one year planning period to roll that out, which is actually an interesting segue to my next point. Uh, we found out late last week that state assessment will be pushed out for the school year that has already begun, begins on July 1st for those scoring at home. Um, our students
will report two weeks from tomorrow. All right. So, staff close tomorrow two days after that. Um, thankfully the governor's office reported that we were not blindsided. So, don't for knowing that, we we will be writing, but honestly, we don't know
exactly what to expect. And finally, your reminder, I brought this up uh for our presentations for the September and October meetings. Uh September 15th, we're going to be at Cedar Crest. Uh Dr. Keith at education will be presenting on the port of graduate project. um which
is really just moving right along. We're year three of the three three-year planning period. October 6th, we'll have the AP presentation as well as recognition of scholars. Ostensibly, I'll be co-presenting with Mr. Hazler, but we both microphone for that one. And
then October 27th we'll have the district assessment data presentation which ostensively I will be co-presenting but she she holds that presentation now so I will probably see these after her. Um, something really nice I want to bring up too and then I want to make
sure we get roll talk about new staff orientation is that we we reached out to staff members to see if we can get a panel of teachers early career experience points between see if they want to take some time to meet with our new members as
part of orientation. This is purely voluntary. We need a dozen people. We got to the point start turning people away and we shut down the possibility to submit 24 and we're still looking for work
now. Hey, we need someone else. I just think the culture staff proud of that powerful message for our knowing that so many people wanted not blindsided. Um, I'll try to figure
it out, but um, I didn't want to take my stuff, but I wanted to share. So, you pretty much shared everything I'm going to share. Um, which is good. But, yeah, it's a great group. We probably have about 30 people there today. We invited not only our new uh,
tenure track teachers, but also anybody who's doing a leading place for us. Um, and we invited student teachers. They're going to come tomorrow for our curriculum portion. So, we just wanted to make it all inclusive and welcoming so that everybody knows that we want them to feel a part of the group. Um, I was going to speak to the inviting the
teachers on Wednesday or tomorrow. So, we are excited. I think we've got 12 teachers who are going to come in and be a panel. We definitely have more teachers who were like uh we had to had to shut it down. We'd end up with more teachers than the new teachers. Um, and it's only a half hour. So, we also
invite students. Um I know we have a couple students that might be um attending to um but that's something that the supervisor team came up with as an idea to have some students there to to share with the new staff what their thoughts and views are maybe answer some questions. Um but today was really
successful. Today was a lot about policy technology getting on board with all of our different platforms. Um tomorrow is all about feeling instruction um Danielson our evaluation system um kind of getting sat and then Wednesday they'll spend time in their classrooms
getting able to so they'll go back to their schools um set their classrooms work with the principles and whatnot. Um we want to thank our attorney for lunch. It was fabulous today. Thank you so much. Um the administrative team provided breakfast today and tomorrow
the PCA is provided breakfast to them and that was lunch. So we gave them swag. We have t-shirts and water bottles and some keychains and stuff. Uh pens. Um so all grounds be fine for long days
