1/11/2022 at 7:31 AM

Discussion: Submitted by Allison Stansberry, Jr-Sr High School Principal
     I want to start this board report by expressing my sincere gratitude for our staff. Mr. Pester, Ms. Paige, and Mrs. Polak all graciously gave up their regularly scheduled plan to add another section of classes so we can have spaces to put kids in that were initially scheduled for Industrial Tech. Mrs. Polak is teaching a section of Psychology, Ms. Paige is teaching a section of study skills to 8th grade, and Mr. Pester is teaching Weights. Their plan will be during advisory. Mrs. Schaffer is also offering another section of Networking. This has been an incredible help.
     Also, as you will see in the professional development section, we have a lot of amazing things going with strong momentum. Our staff is willing to learn and grow collectively and it has been incredible to see them put our work into action. We truly have some of the best here at Raymond Central!
     Professional Development - On December 8, we had PLC and had rich discussions as we continue the topic of disciplinary literacy. Our objectives for the day consisted of:

Defining expectations within our campus goal
Having an understanding of shifts for teaching reading within the disciplines.

We provided concrete examples of reading within the disciplines. After the PLC PD we broke into PLC’s. As I walked around, we got great feedback from staff about how the PD presented to them allowed them to grasp a better understanding of how they can incorporate more reading into their content area. Some of the groups even started revamping their PLC goals.
     On January 4, we came back as a staff after winter break and did a few housekeeping things that prepared us for 2nd semester. After that, Brain and I led a PD on Optimizing the use of learning targets throughout a lesson. Our informals and walkthroughs during quarter 2 were focused around this. We first started with accessing prior knowledge which comes from our Teacher Performance Framework. The framework states:
     Domain I: Teacher Planning and Preparation - The teacher plans using district and state content standards, district supported curriculum, instructional materials, and strategies, evidence-based resources, data, and community context to address the needs of each student in achieving rigorous learning goals.
     Indicator I.a: Standards and Objectives - Designs lessons with clear measurable goals closely aligned with state standards, district curriculum resources, and unit outcomes; and State standards, district curriculum, and lesson goals are aligned, written, visually displayed, and verbally referenced throughout the lesson. We then discussed the learning targets for the PD session. The learning targets were as follows with the activities for each learning target underneath:

Define definition and characteristics of learning targets.

Actively read pages 461-462 of The Skillful Teacher using the following note taking symbols to code the text - * interesting; ? question; ! a-ha

Brainstorm strategies for visually displaying and verbally referencing learning targets throughout each lesson.
- Modified Frayer Model and Gallery Walk: Teachers created a Modified Frayer Model on large sheets of paper and wrote down their definition and characteristics of learning targets as well as examples of visually referenced and verbally displayed. They then rotated around to other groups and looked at what they came up using the above symbols.
Develop a plan for visually displaying and verbally referencing learning targets throughout each lesson.
- Partner Discussion
Our success criteria was as followed:
Describe your plan visually displaying learning targets throughout each lesson.
Describe your plan for verbally referencing learning targets throughout each lesson.
Identify 1-2 strategies you will need to implement to help remind you to visually display and verbally reference the learning targets throughout the lesson (e.g., set a timer, add a learning target slide throughout the deck, have students write the target in a journal).

We had them fill out a Fast Feedback form with their plans and strategies. The next component of this to ensure that our learning targets are directly tied to the standards. More to come on this.
     On January 6, the Jr/Sr High MTSS Core Team composed of Tasha Osten, Brian Gralheer, Caitlin Roussan, Amanda Coufal, and myself met with Kala Peyton from NDE-MTSS to start our implementation rollout. We had a fantastic discussion with action steps to complete prior to our next meeting in March. We will then spend two full days on June 14-15 with our MTSS Core Team as well as our MTSS Leadership Team (which is the same as our Teacher Leadership Team) and will begin the heavy work. After the meeting, we felt like we really were headed in the right direction and were reaffirmed that the work we are currently doing is the right work. We are also working on our MTSS Google Site Page for staff and once we get that up and going I will share screen shots of what it entails. More details to come!
     On January 18, our Teacher Leadership Team is heading to Fremont to watch Joe Sanfelippo speak. Dr. Joe Sanfelipp is a Superintendent in Wisconsin. He also has a number of publications, however, the one I have recently read that I thoroughly enjoy is "Hacking Leadership". In this book, he identifies 10 problems with school leadership and provides dynamic, right-now solutions. It is a very easy read.
     One of my favorite videos by Joe Sanfelippo: https://vimeo.com/603238481; Direct Link to Joe Sanfelippo’s 1 Minute Walk 2 Work Videos: http://www.jsanfelippo.com/leadership-challenge
     Other Happenings: I have been nominated through the ESU2 to be a part of the Learning Acceleration Project through NDE. About the project: Nebraska’s Framework for School Renewal and Acceleration calls us to optimize instructional practices leveraging data so our students are equipped to learn, earn, and live the life they envision for themselves once they leave our schools. A vital component of this work is providing learning opportunities that are responsive to teachers, leaders, students, and Nebraska schools’ unique needs. To this end, the series aims to leverage the expertise, knowledge, and experiences of Nebraska educators to support learning acceleration.
     Over the spring semester, the team will:

deepen our understanding of the foundations for learning acceleration
develop a shared vision for learning acceleration in Nebraska
diagnose existing strengths and gaps
co-create a scope & sequence for a learning acceleration PL series

Once the project is complete the goal is to train other districts on this project. I will be attending the first two days on January 24th and January 25th in Grand Island.
We have purchased Mastery Prep ACT Curriculum. We will be piloting this program starting next week with approximately 18 students. Students will meet on A Days with Mrs. Winfrey. The hope is to see how the program goes and learn more about it so we can potentially bring it to our sophomores and juniors next year.
We have 4 incredible student teachers joining us this Spring from UNL:

Jenna Kramer with Andrea Hicks (Special Education)
Austyn McKee with Jill Huck (ELA)
Grace Ellis with Carolyn Enevoldsen (ELA)
Radley Shaw with Andrew Placke (Social Studies)

     Austin Anderson graduated in December and left for military training on December 28th. We are so proud of Austin and his commitment and sacrifice. We can’t wait to see the amazing things he will accomplish.
     We have brought Campus Life to Raymond Central. Campus Life is a positive place where students can go to have fun with friends, talk about relevant issues, and be heard without judgement. It’s a place where students are challenged to make good decisions and lead in positive ways in their school. This is for students in grades 6-8. The first event was held on December 16th and there was an overwhelming turnout. Derek Farmer, who is leading the charge, was ecstatic with the number of students that participated and we will be meeting on January 7th to get the next meeting scheduled.
     We had SEVEN students accepted into the Wayne Honor Band, plus two as alternates. That means everyone who auditioned either made it in or is an alternate! Accepted: High School - Josie Hain - Flute; Josie Lahm - Flute; Rosalie Tvrdy - Clarinet; Armin Barr - Tenor Saxophone; Morgan Lahm - Trumpet; Gareth Mills - Tuba; Junior High - Marissa Tvrdy - Trombone. Alternates: High School - Asher Lahm - Baritone Saxophone; Junior High - Lindsey Morris - Trumpet.

     2022 is ?nally here! I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday season. Our students and staff de?nitely deserved a break. I want to thank our students and staff for their hard work and diligence throughout the ?rst semester. Because of their efforts, we were able to not only keep our doors open, but also keep activities running as smoothly as possible. Our winter sports teams have been experiencing a more "normal" season compared to last year.

The wrestling team has seen a successful start to the season with a 15-3 dual record and a number of Top 3 Tournament ?nishes this season. They will be heading to Arlington this Saturday, then will host a Sr Night Quad at home on January 20.
The girls basketball team sits at 7-5 with recent wins over Arlington and Centennial. Next on the schedule is David City and Ashland-Greenwood.
The boys basketball team is currently 4-8 with a recent win over Conestoga. Next on the schedule is David City and Ashland-Greenwood.
The Central Players have competed in 7 tournaments with competition ranging from Class A to Class C2 and have been doing well. They are a small, but mighty team this year. In many of those tournaments, the Players have placed in the top half of the competing schools.

Notable upcoming Events at RC:

1/15/22 - 8 AM - Central Players Speech Invitational
1/22/22 - 9 AM - Boys and Girls Reserve BB Tournament

Submitted by Amanda Coufal, Director of Special Education
     This month, Caitlin Roussan (school psychologist), and myself will be presenting to the MS/HS staff on Special Education topics such as: purpose of IEP meetings, team member roles, accommodations, strategies, etc. We will hold the same presentation at the elementary schools at a later date.
     Rachel Beck, Speech Language Pathologist, has resigned from her position to be closer to her boyfriend as they look towards the future. This was a very hard decision for her as she loves her job, the students, and loves being part of the Raymond Central staff. In a short amount of time, Rachel has been a huge asset to our team. Her expertise, data collection, goal writing, and communication with parents and the team are phenomenal. If/when we hire another SLP, Rachel would be willing to help with that transition process. This would be beneficial for us as a district to provide that opportunity for training. We wish Rachel good luck in her future endeavors!

Overall, the Winter Pilot NSCAS testing process has gone smoothly. A shout out to Mr. Steve Rose for assisting with the technical side of testing, making sure the Chromebooks are working and the student information is correct in the RC data rosters so the information communicates with the testing platform. Mrs. Stansberry and Ms. Osten are coordinating the ACT assessment and are attending those trainings.

Discussion:      ESU#2 has been working with NDE regarding funding in the American Rescue Plan - Homeless Child and Youth (ARP-HCY - 1). This fund provided an unprecedented amount of funding that we have the opportunity to utilize for students. ESU#2 is proposing a collaboration effort where the ESU will help to apply and assist with the management of funds. This is a competitive grant application, which means we may or may not get funded. The funds will be used to provide professional development to your staff and to provide additional Licensed Mental Health Practitioner therapy services. Stay tuned and keep your fingers crossed that our grant is approved.
     We were notified by the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) that we have been selected to receive a desk audit on the federal grants (IDEA, Title, ESSER) for the 2019-20 school year.
