Easton Public Schools Strategy 2016-2018

Vision

In collaboration with the community, the Easton Public Schools will provide an intensive focus on the whole child and advance programs to inspire each unique

learner to attain his/her fullest potential.

Theory of Action

If we further engage the community in the education of all Easton children, ensure the physical, social and emotional well being of our students, maximize

resources, secure increased and necessary funding, and advance programs and initiatives in state of the art learning facilities, then we will inspire each unique

learner to attain his/her fullest potential.

Core Values

Academic Excellence and Equity for All Cooperative and Caring Relationships

Respecting and Valuing Diversity Commitment to Community

Strategic Objectives

Family and Community Engagement

Build transparency through improved communication, better use of technology, establishment of a Family and Community University, and strengthening of relationships with community partners.

Ensuring the Social and Emotional and Physical Wellbeing of All Easton Students Grades pre-k to 12 Deepen our focus on student wellbeing both social-emotionally and physically and ensure program enhancements, curriculum development and improvement, and faculty support in these areas.

Resource Efficiency and Attainment

Evaluate district practices and protocols for managing human and capital resources and secure funding to ensure that all students are receiving the educational services they need in the most efficient and productive manner possible.

Advancing Student Achievement

Provide and unyielding commitment to meeting the unique needs of all students through the strengthening and expansion of programs and offerings that will prepare all of our young people for life in the 21st century.

Strategic Priorities

Family and Community Engagement Social Emotional Wellbeing Resource Efficiency and Attainment Advancing Student Achievement

Community Partnerships: Broaden relationships with area higher education and local organizations to better utilize shared resources and embrace Easton’s rich history by promoting agricultural literacy programming within the schools.

Assessing and Adjusting Offerings Accordingly: Conduct Youth Risk Behavior Survey at the secondary level in an effort to establish baseline data with regard to risky behavior being exhibited by Easton teens. Enhance health and physical education and support offerings to address increasing student physical and social emotional needs.

Funding Excellence: Educate the community of Easton on the high costs of educational excellence and seek to increase average per pupil spending to be more consistent with at the minimum, similar communities demographically and ideally the highest achieving school systems in Massachusetts (top 10%)

Early Childhood Education: In an effort to ensure equity of early learning experiences and improve district wide student achievement, establish a Kindergarten model that makes a low or no cost full day program available to all Easton students.

Family Education: Create and develop Easton Family and Community University to provide a variety of offerings covering that will support and enhance student learning

Analysis of Student Service Offerings: Assess and where necessary, develop therapeutic support programs (PreK- 12) that are designed to assist students dealing with significant emotional issues in an effort to provide broader support (such as Bridge Programs for students returning from hospitalizations and/or alternative programs for students with significant emotional needs).

Streamline Human Resource Management Process: Assess and address existing issues related to human resource management.

Focus on Teacher Excellence: Recognizing our dependence on teacher excellence, ensure that recruitment, hiring, mentoring, and supervisory practices are of the highest caliber and universally applied across the district. Also ensure that teacher and administrator compensation is regionally highly competitive to ensure that the system remains attractive to outstanding educators.

Page 2




Increase communication with students, parents, teachers, and the general Easton Community by maximizing use of technology and the media

Guidance and Career Services: Assess and expand where necessary those supports that ensure student success in school (guidance counseling, career counseling, adjustment counseling, transitional services) and better prepare them for post-secondary

experiences.

Program Review: Examine staffing and administrative models to assess effectiveness and cost efficiency and consider implementation of those that will better serve students and improve learning experiences.

Emphasizing STEAM pre k-12: Expand Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) offerings and learning experiences pre-k through grade 12.

Community Service: Further develop and expand community service projects and work study programs with local businesses and town departments that focus on increasing student understanding of civic duty.

Social Awareness Programming: Assess what exists in EPS regarding social competency programs (i.e. Open Circle) and make necessary adjustments and changes based on staff and student feedback and data showing effectiveness. Investigate the use of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports at the building level and Response to Intervention tiered system of supports with a universal screener and BCBA support.

Facilities: Ensure that high quality district facilities are in place, properly maintained, and are capable of

meeting the needs of the 21st century learner (Place special focus on upgrades to Pre-K to 2 buildings and the examination of possible alternatives for location of school district central offices.)

Uniform Excellence: Expand collaborative opportunities amongst all district administrators and leaders to ensure that expectations of our teachers are consistent across schools (both vertically and horizontally) and that we develop an effective system of peer observations and feedback to promote a growth mindset and high expectations for all students across the district.

Transparency in Budgeting: Further communicate budget process, educating key stakeholders on the limitations of the town’s finances and the constant need for fiscal prudence.

Faculty Wellness: Establish faculty committees at each level to promote faculty health, wellness and resilience.

Paraprofessional Role: With a perceived discrepancy in the role of paraprofessionals across schools and a desire for greater consistency and efficiency, work to establish the most effective model possible for providing these essential services. Focus on examining how they are used, streamlining their assignments, and providing opportunities for peer observation and training/professional development in areas such as RTI, ABA, CPI and SPED laws.

Strengthen and Expand Interventions: Implement the use of Curriculum Based Measures for Math and ELA at the K-7 level, (RTI and Progress Monitoring) with an expansion to include grade 8 (ELA, Math, and Science).

Page 3




Intervention Professional Development: Provide professional development opportunities designed to heighten teacher awareness about the challenges that children face when living with poverty, substance abuse, trauma, and family dysfunction.

Special Education Program Re- Alignment: Seeking to strengthen the delivery of services, ensure consistency in the development of IEP’s, and provide for greater oversight of special education placements, add Special Education Coordinator positions at all levels of the district. Also study and develop where necessary, in-house programs that better serve our challenged learners and reduce unnecessary out of district placements. Ensure that coordinators provide professional development to special education and general education staff to improve diversified instruction.

Examine and Improve Academic and Co-Curricular Program: Revisit schedule options and grouping practices, establish advisory period at middle school level, balance class sizes and consider class size limitation policy, expand and/or adjust course offerings, ensure greater equity amongst schools in the areas of common planning time and time on learning, and create new ways toaddress the needs of at risk and exceptional students.

Transitional Services: Provide more communication, support and guidance for students and families when transitioning between schools (ex. grade 2 to grade 3) to ensure greater consistency for students.

Alternate Funding Sources: Seek out and secure alternative sources of funding for important school initiatives.

World Language Enhancement: Expand world language study, to included primary grades and provide a broader spectrum of offerings throughout the system.

Enrichment Activities: Expand enriching learning experiences to reach a broader spectrum of students, increase engagement, and better prepare our students for a rapidly changing world.

ART DEPARTMENT KRISTYN SHEA, DEPARTMENT HEAD

FISCAL YEAR 2018 BUDGET SUMMARY

The Art Department seeks to provide a K-12 program, which gives students the opportunity to learn the language of art, to think creatively, to solve visual problems, to explore with an array of materials and techniques, to look at master works of art, and to share their original ideas with their peers. Students are taught to appreciate and to engage in an increased level of craftsmanship as they proceed through the program, and they are encouraged to apply their art skills to other aspects of their lives. Students are also taught to notice and to see out artistic expression in the world beyond the school–at home, in museums and in the media. New courses: Graphic Design and Sculpture have been well received. Our future goal is to add second level courses for Sculpture and Graphic Design. This will allow us to offer further and focused exploration in these areas.

The Music Department desires to make it possible for every student to sing, play instruments, write and compose or listen to music intelligently; to learn about the fundamentals of performance, and to become a knowledgeable consumer and producer of music according to his/her individual interest and ability. We also seek to make music a pleasurable experience, as well as a vital force in the daily life of each student. Over the past ten years the participation in the music program has grown starting at the elementary level, and continuing through high school. In Grade Five at R/O all students take Band Chorus and Orchestra; at Easton Middle School 60% of the students in grades 6-8 participate in a music performance ensemble. At Oliver Ames 25% of the student population is involved in the music program. We have also been successful in adding courses to benefit the general population of students, with the implementation of AP Music Theory, the Guitar Class, Music Technology and Theatre Arts classes at Oliver Ames. These classes provide additional learning opportunities for students interested in the Arts. This year the number of band students and guitar students increased at the High School. All ensembles at EMS also are larger than last year. As the program grows, we will need to add equipment and more instructional materials.

FTE’s

Department Head ............................ Stipend Teachers OA .................................... 2.8 FTE Teachers EMS .................................. 2.8 FTE Teachers Elementary ....................... 2.8 FTE With increases in student participation, more equipment is needed such as school instruments, instructional music texts and sheet music. Next year we will need to purchase a new digital piano and a new string bass. Many of the instruments in the EPS are very old and we are finding we need replacements especially of the larger, expensive instruments as the marimba and timpani drums. Due to the old age of our school instrument inventory, increased repair funds are needed to address issues with band instruments, string instruments and acoustic pianos.

HIGHLIGHTS AND SUCCESSES The OA Show Choir and Jazz Band have consistently received high ratings this year in competition. Though they will not attend, the Show Choir received an invitation based upon their ratings to participate in The FAME National Finals Competition in Chicago. The OA Jazz Band recently received a Gold Medal from MAJE and the opportunity to participate in the MA State Finals this month.

The Chamber Orchestra collaborated in two performances with the OA Orchestra and Concert Choir, The Messiah Sing and Winter Melodies. These community events give students the opportunity to put their skills to the test with professional and adult musicians. The success of our ensembles is due to the level of instruction in daily classes. “Seussical the Musical” was a rousing success with a cast, crew and orchestra of 80 participating students.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH CORINNE MCCARTHY, DEPARTMENT HEAD


The 2018 Physical Education and Health budget is structured to provide the financial support necessary for all levels of the department. This includes upgrading and replacing equipment for all levels of the program. The K-12 Curriculum is based on the Physical Best Philosophy and the “Fit for Life” curriculum. The K-12 program consists of teaching the basic skills of human movement, dance, low organization games, fitness and a variety of individual, dual and lifetime activities. Students are encouraged to participate in all class activities to their fullest extent and within their individual capabilities. Health Education is currently offered at the Easton Middle School to grades 6-8 and we are anticipating hiring a Health Educator for Oliver Ames High School as a continuation of the current health and wellness topics. The Physical Education Department will start using a fitness testing program called Fitnessgram. This program will be used to track fitness progress in grades 3-12. The areas of progress will be cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength & endurance, and flexibility.

TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT JOHN SOUSA, DEPARTMENT HEAD


Our budget is a continuation of our five year plan, with an emphasis on long term sustainability, maximum impact on learning, and in line with the district goals we look to optimize our resource efficiency.

Our mission is to provide IT services to Easton Public Schools, with a focus on the education and learning aspects unique to a school system. This includes a wide array of services. Everything from engineering new infrastructure such as storage or wifi, to helping students and staff reset their password.

By performing as much as possible ‘in-house’, finding ways to be more efficient, and utilizing open-source technology where possible, we are able greatly reduce outside service costs. As such we are able to maximize the impact our funding has on users, with more devices and better services.

This budget seeks to further utilize our existing WiFi, expanding our chromebook fleet and meeting the new state demands of online testing. We have also expanded our central printing program to grades 3-12, and will continue to do so in the coming year for K-2.

RICHARDSON OLMSTED SCHOOL DEBORAH HAMMETT, PRINCIPAL


At RO we believe in equity and excellence for all. We respect differences and believe all students can achieve at high levels through hard work.

In our heterogeneously grouped classrooms, children of all abilities learn together. Teachers work exceptionally hard to make grouping decisions to target specific skills. We change these groups many times throughout the year using teacher observations, student work samples and periodic assessments. The lessons are developed based on student need. Each student has unique strengths and challenges yet the goals remain the same. We pride ourselves on grit, optimal growth, and compassion for others.

Even with very large classes, interventionists, coaches, special education staff and classroom teachers work together to make individualized and inclusive instruction possible for our students. We use an “all hands on deck” approach based on thoughtful planning and efficient scheduling.

Our students are now required to demonstrate digital literacy as part of grade level expectations. Teachers share sets of electronic devices, which are in constant use as children analyze resources, create presentations, communicate and collaborate.

FTE’s Principal ................................. 1.0 FTE Clerical Aides ................ 2.0 FTE Assistant Principal .................. 1.0 FTE Custodians/Subs .......... 5.0 FTE Teachers ................................. 36.0 FTE Nurses .......................... 1.6 FTE ELL Tutor ............................... 0.5 FTE Library .......................... 2.0 FTE Reading/Math Teachers .......... 2.0 FTE Lunch/Playground (p/t) 8 Secretaries .............................. 2.0 FTE Special Education Staff: Refer to Special Education Services pages Art, Music & PE Staff: Refer to specific department pages

HIGHLIGHTS AND SUCCESSES Our special education students now have more effective supports in their classrooms and less need for instruction in separate settings. Thus, we were able to trade an existing teaching position for a new Therapeutic Learning Center (TLC) teacher. We now meet the needs of our students with social/emotional challenges who might otherwise need costly out of district placement.

A kind, accepting environment is essential for our children. Our “Kindness Challenge,” featured in this article, exemplifies our strong social curriculum.

CENTER SCHOOL ANN WEINTROB, PRINCIPAL

FISCAL YEAR 2018 BUDGET SUMMARY Center School is a community of learners where children and adults value each other’s differences and respect one another’s choices. We set the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning while emphasizing the role effort plays in meeting one’s goals. We strive to provide a nurturing, structured environment that fosters independence, and results in academic and social gains. To this end, we set high expectations for faculty, staff, parents and children as we work together to make positive changes that keep student success a top priority.

This budget serves to support faculty in maintaining a school-wide atmosphere that allows students to reach their maximum potential. Students are stimulated intellectually and nurtured emotionally. Providing a rich and innovative curriculum in a safe and supportive environment, we also strive to build the foundations of good citizenship, the understanding and appreciation of diversity and the ability to resolve conflict constructively.

In addition, this budget continues to support critical early learning interventions in reading, writing and mathematics. Response to Intervention (RTI) prevents learning gaps and ensures the readiness of our students for the intermediate grades. Our specialized TLC program provides support for the emotional needs of our diverse learners.

HIGHLIGHTS AND SUCCESSES Through a community partnership with the Old Colony YMCA’s Easton Branch, Center School piloted a second grade Water Wise Program.

Focused collaboration on math curriculum writing, across the three PreK-2 schools, resulted in the completion and implementation of at least one math unit at each grade level.

Several enrichment programs including yoga, dance and karate instruction supported our school year theme, Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies.

MOREAU HALL SCHOOL THOMAS HIGGINS, PRINCIPAL

FISCAL YEAR 2018 BUDGET SUMMARY The mission of Moreau Hall Elementary School is to provide a positive, child-centered learning experience for all students. We take pride in being a “bucket filling” school as we exemplify our core values of positive attitude, respect, involvement, determination, and excellence. Our school’s approach to developing well-rounded citizens is directly aligned with our district’s core values.

The FY2018 budget seeks to provide our faculty and staff with all the necessary tools and materials to educate our students in the modern world. Our Response to Intervention program will be supported and implemented in order to provide all students with targeted small group instruction in literacy and math each day. We will support our teachers through the purchase of current and specific materials as they design and implement new units of study in the coming years.

We will seek to support all families, including our English Language Learners, in the Moreau Hall community as we educate each other on respecting and valuing diversity within our school family. It will be important to develop and sustain programming to reach all families in our district and meet each student’s distinct learning style.

HIGHLIGHTS AND SUCCESSES As part of this year’s theme of “Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies,” our students participate in walking club during recess each week. Collectively, they have walked an incredible amount of miles!

Moreau Hall students participated in their second “Hour of Code” event this school year in order to continue to gain useful technology literacy skills and learn the language of computers.

Thanks to our supportive parent community and dedicated students, we were able to raise over $10,000 during our Direct Donation Campaign. This money has gone to fund amazing programming, such as our Ooch the Yo-Yo Man assembly. Ooch taught us the value of being great mistake makers!

PARKVIEW SCHOOL CHRISTOPHER GETCHELL, PRINCIPAL


Parkview School strives to provide all students with an intrinsic, genuine sense of belonging, significance and fun. We believe that when these three elements are in place, then students are best able to achieve their full potential as learners. The students at Parkview create their own agreements within the Parkview Constitution at the very beginning of each year. This contract is aligned with our district’s core values of academic excellence and equity for all, caring and cooperative relationships, respect for our diversity and a commitment to the larger community. Our student-made constitution, in tandem with our core values, drives all educational and budgetary decisions within our school.

This budget serves to provide our faculty with the resources necessary to keep our mission thriving for our students. Utilizing all of our personnel as efficiently as we do allows us to provide critical early learning interventions in reading, writing and mathematics to ANY student on daily basis. This Response to Intervention (RTI) process prevents the growth or development of learning gaps and ensures the readiness of our students for the intermediate grades.

In addition, this budget serves to support new, more specialized education to meet the needs of diverse learners, cutting special education costs and keeping our student in their home school. We are also aggressively pursuing innovative STEAM programming to better prepare our students for learning and work in the 21st century.

EASTON MIDDLE SCHOOL LUKE CARROLL, PRINCIPAL


The Easton Middle School recognizes the unique needs of middle school students, while providing a safe and respectful learning environment that inspires students to “Make Their Mark.” This year at EMS, we have continued to expand exciting STEAM opportunities for our students, including the addition of Vex Robotics to our curriculum, the opportunity to bring Google Expeditions and Virtual Reality field trips to the school and the expansion of Bridgewater State University’s City Lab program to include a hands-on, inquiry based lab experience for the entire eighth grade. Congressman Joseph Kennedy also visited EMS, participating in a panel discussion on the importance of STEAM education. Additionally, we held Pathways to the Future, a first event of this kind in Easton, and a huge success. The exhibition for students involved more than 50 presenters from the science, technology and engineering career fields. Our Easton STEAM Education Team developed the idea as a means to improve student access and engagement in the STEAM fields. A very generous donation from Wings of Hope has allowed us to reinstate our late bus at the Easton Middle School. The bus supports students who participate in the many different after-school opportunities and enrichment clubs, including sports, Student Council, Art Club, Book Club, Jazz Band, Freedom Writers, Earth Squad (Recycling Club), Video Club, and School on Wheels Club, to name a few.

HIGHLIGHTS AND SUCCESSES Science from Scientists The Science from Scientists program partners EMS students with real, charismatic scientists each week in our grade six classes. This provides all students with the opportunity to participate in hands-on, student-centered lab experiments. The lessons promote an in-depth understanding of abstract concepts. Think Tank This newly renovated computer lab is a student-centered, flexible learning space that will be used by teachers and students. All of the furniture is mobile which enables students to easily work together in groups. There are six televisions which act as large monitors, so that students can project what they are working on for their group to see. The "Think Tank" also has an enormous touch-screen interactive flat screen computer. There is also another area with floor to ceiling whiteboard paint for teachers and students to display their work. For students who want to use film to express their learning, iPad Mini's and tripods are available. The "Think Tank" is an innovative space that fosters creativity, collaboration, communication,

and critical thinking.

FISCAL YEAR 2018 BUDGET SUMMARY The Business and Technology Department continues to seek course offerings and experiential learning activities that enhance our curriculum. Two new courses in media were added to the business program of studies and a course in Internships will be added for the 2017-2018 school year. Students who enroll in the Internship class will conduct career exploration and will work with a local business to gain hands-on experience in their field of interest. In an effort to enhance student financial literacy, members of our junior class participated in the first annual “Credit for Life” fair. During the fair, students engage in financial decision-making based on their individually chosen career path. Students are challenged to manage their personal budgets while maintaining a balance between needs and wants. The mission of our department is to enhance student’s understanding of the global business world and to prepare them for college or entrance into the workforce. We continue to purchase textbooks, online programs and software to enhance our instructional practices. Many students participate in DECA competitions where students learn to appreciate how critical business decisions and ever-changing technology impact consumers and affect business operations. New textbooks for our Finance classes will further support financial literacy initiatives and future purchases will include Creative Cloud software for our web design course and improved digital equipment for our media classes.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT JAMES SULLIVAN, DEPARTMENT HEAD


The 2016-17 budget allowed us to maintain entry-level and some secondary-level courses of Woodworking, Power Technology/Small Engine Repair, Metal Technology and Engineering and Architectural Drawing classes. In addition, the Industrial Arts Department started a new Construction Technology course. This course is an exploratory course that is a combination theory and hands-on projects and utilizes traditional building materials while also exploring green technologies and alternative energy systems.

During 2016-17, the department purchased a new horizontal drum sander that complements our surface planer and gives our students a better, more professional finish on their projects.

The shops continue to benefit from materials donated from Easton community members and businesses. Hand tools, hardwoods, and aluminum and copper sheet metal that are beyond our budget are a few examples of donations to the department. These extras stretch our budget and motivate our students because these materials help to upgrade and enhance their work.

FTE’s

Department Head ........................ Stipend Teachers OA ............................... 2.0 FTE

Materials and other consumables consume a significant portion of the department’s budget. Increased material costs have resulted in smaller student projects, reliance on donations to support the students or student purchased materials.


This year’s Wood 2 students were the first to make nesting Shaker Oval boxes from maple, cherry and quartersawn pine. Forms, cores and shapers for 7 different size boxes as well 2 copper water trays to heat and bend the wood were made in-house to support this project.

MATHEMATICS MARY ROMANS, DEPARTMENT HEAD


The mathematics budget for 2017-2018 reflects an awareness that we live in a complex age in which mathematics plays an increasingly important role for society and the individual. By challenging students through problem solving, making connections, reasoning, and communicating using appropriate technologies, the math department will help students adapt to a continuously changing, technical world. The core courses for all college preparatory students include Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. Beyond this, a full range of opportunities exist for students to broaden and to refine their mathematical skills through specialized and advanced courses that will prepare them for college and career opportunities. During the 2016-2017 year two STEM related courses, introduction to computer science and robotics, were added. With this new budget, the mathematics department plans to offer two new courses. As the natural progression of introduction to computer science, we will add Advanced Placement Computer Science. In addition, we have proposed making our statistics course semester-based with the addition of a semester-based discrete math course.

FTE’s Department Head ........................ Stipend Teachers OA ............................... 12.0 FTE Teachers EMS ............................. 6.0 FTE The budget for instructional supplies and texts is instrumental to achieving the mathematics department’s goals.


Students in computer science and robotics classes collaborate to problem solve and strategize to create innovative solutions given various scenarios.

SCIENCE DEPARTMENT MARIA ANNUNZIATO & NANCY DONAHUE, DEPARTMENT HEADS


Science is an attempt to make sense of the universe. Science education should invite and support curiosity, investigation, critical thinking and foster an awareness of the physical nature of our world. The Oliver Ames High School Science Curriculum is structured to provide students of all abilities with the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills in the Life Sciences, Chemistry and Physics, and includes electives: Forensics, Anatomy & Physiology, Environmental Science and Science Design. Technology is integrated throughout all courses via instruction and student use of laboratory materials to enhance science literacy. The Science Department budget supports materials that reflect current scientific research. Laboratory materials are required to reinforce learning in all courses, and these supplies are particularly technical and costly for Advanced Placement courses. The Science Department’s Science Design Class, currently works with fifth grade classes on engineering and design and will expand this program to include third grade classes next year. Last year the science department offered an additional Environmental Science course for students who did not wish to take the Advanced Placement course and a full year Anatomy and Physiology course. Both courses were well received.

FTE’s

Department Heads ...................... Stipend Teachers OA ............................... 13.4 FTE Teachers EMS ............................. 7.0 FTE

HIGHLIGHTS AND SUCCESSES The budget will continue to support the successful Science Design course and collaboration between fifth grade students who are mentored by high school students in the completion of an engineering design challenge and the popular Science Olympiad at the Richardson-Olmsted School.

SOCIAL STUDIES MATTHEW AUGER, DEPARTMENT HEAD


The budget for the 2017-18 year seeks to provide students a robust array of courses to develop an understanding of the interrelationship of past, present and future in a rapidly changing world. To encourage effective participation in a society based on the free exchange of ideas, our courses foster critical thinking skills for analyzing information and making informed decisions. As Americans, an understanding of our democratic heritage with its complex political, economic and social systems is essential for effective citizenship, but we are also citizens of the world who must become aware of the connections, historical and contemporary, between America and other nations. Finally, our courses strive to promote a respect for individual and cultural differences to increase our understanding of ourselves.

The Social Studies Department added three new courses this past school year to add to the already diverse offerings in the department. We are committed to a program that allows for students to pursue more specialized study in the social sciences. In addition, the department supports numerous opportunities to extend learning beyond the classroom through various clubs and student organizations.

GUIDANCE SUSAN MANCUSO, DEPARTMENT HEAD


The Oliver Ames Guidance Department is now in its third full year utilizing Naviance and its second full year with a staff of five counselors at the high school. Easton Middle School was able to purchase Naviance services as well, which brings us closer to our goal of a streamlined 6-12 college and career curriculum. The Easton Middle School staff will begin the process of utilizing Naviance with the 7th and 8th grade students to focus on areas such as career exploration. With only two full-time guidance counselors at EMS, it has been difficult to implement or develop new curriculum as the majority of the time the focus is on the social and emotional issues of the students, where the need is greatest.

FTE’s Director of Guidance/Counselor OA ................ 1.0 FTE Counselors OA ................................................ 4.0 FTE Adjustment Counselors OA ............................. 2.0 FTE Counselors EMS ............................................. 2.0 FTE Adjustment Counselor EMS ............................ 1.0 FTE New Guidance Counselor EMS ........................ 1.0 FTE Counselor Elementary ..................................... 1.0 FTE New Elementary Adjustment Counselor ........... 1.0 FTE Clerical OA ...................................................... 1.0 FTE Clerical EMS ................................................... 1.0 FTE The budget for supplies is instrumental in providing resources and materials to students, particularly tools and materials to reduce stress, depression and anxiety and to assist students with college and career exploration.

HIGHLIGHTS AND SUCCESSES Approx. 50% of the Class of 2017 applied early action by 12/2016 with some receiving acceptances as early as January to institutions such as American Univ., BU, Penn State and Villanova.

In October, 340 sophomores & juniors complete the PSAT and we anticipate 335 students will take the AP exams in May across 18 subject areas.

For the 2nd year, OA offered Virtual classes. 29 students took courses in AP Human Geography, Italian Language & Culture, World Conflict, Bioethics, Astronomy and Int’l Business.

Common App workshops were held in August for the Class of 2017 to assist students with the application process.

This spring we will be offering a seminar for 1st generation families to help them with the college process.

A sophomore parent night will also be held this spring. As more students are applying early action to college, we find a need to start meeting with families earlier to prepare. The EMS counseling staff will be offering their 2nd annual coffeehouse. This evening event allows parents the opportunity to meet to discuss relevant topics including bullying and social media.

EASTON MIDDLE SCHOOL LIBRARY/MEDIA CENTER JESSICA GARBOWSKI


The EMS Media Center’s budget for the upcoming fiscal year will be used to enhance our collection of books, online databases and e-books. In addition, the final conversion of the video collection to digital and DVD format will be completed. A portion of the budget will be used to maintain the supplies of the library printer and to update the technology/ devices housed in the Media Center. This past year, we worked towards our mission of converting the Media Center to a 21st Century Learning Commons. In February of 2017, the computer lab in the Media Center was changed over to the “Think Tank”. This new space is a model classroom that promotes creativity, collaboration, problem solving and communication. It has state-of-the-art technology that promotes a student-centered project based learning environment. Teachers are able to sign out this space for their various classes and are supported by myself and the library staff. During the 2016-2017 school year an updated Digital Literacy curriculum was added to the courses for grade 6 and 7 students. These courses give students the tools that they need to navigate research and presentations, while finding credible sources. The final stage of converting the Media Center into a “21st Century Learning Space” will be to promote digital resources, enhance our Makerspace, change the physical layout to promote flexible learning spaces, and work with the new EMS schedule changes to provide support for team-based activities and projects. The 2018 budget will allow for these necessary last steps to take place so that the Media Center will remain a relevant place for Easton Middle School students to gain the skills that are vital to our digital world. The Makerspace renovation was funded half by school budget funds and half by a very generous private donation.

HIGHLIGHTS AND SUCCESSES The EMS “Think Tank” construction was completed in February 2017. This room contains flexible seating, multiple monitors for students to display their collaborative documents, a white board wall and a touch screen interactive panel. Before

After

Once again, the EMS Media Center and the new Digital Literacy curriculum was featured at the annual MassCUE conference.

The library plays a vital part in transforming student learning. The library budget seeks to accomplish this mission by purchasing an array of resources that will meet the unique needs of students and faculty.

SPECIAL EDUCATION THERESA SKINNER, DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL SERVICES


The Special Services Department oversees the provision of special education services for approximately 640 students aged 3-21. The law requires that to the maximum extent possible, students with disabilities are educated with non-disabled peers and have equal access to activities and programs in the least restrictive environment, ideally within their home school. A major goal of the department is to provide professional development for staff and improve and develop programs that will effectively meet the needs of eligible students. By building capacity within the district, we will decrease the need to rely on outside consultants and programs to educate Easton students. Notable changes to the department include adding a full time PK Facilitator, School Adjustment Counselor at the PK-2 level, extending the Therapeutic Program to the 3-5 level, extending the Life Skills (ASD) Program to the 9-12+ level, and adding a School Adjustment Counselor at the PK-2 level. The proposed budget is aligned with the district’s Core Values and Strategic Objectives and reflects the allocation of resources that ensure building capacity within the district in order to maximize resource efficiency.

Increased use of technology and specialized curricular materials has allowed students to more successfully access the curriculum and make effective progress.

HIGHLIGHTS AND SUCCESSES The Special Education Department has extended the Therapeutic Learning Center to grades 3-5 and the Life Skills program to grades 9-12+. Program development enables the district to provide needed services in Easton and decreases the need for out of district placements.

The Special Education Parent Advisory Council has sponsored a number of workshops this year for parents as well as hosted Ability Awareness days at the primary schools.

Professional Development has included improving IEP writing, supporting the social and emotional needs of students, and effective strategies for teaching reading

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT LISHA CABRAL, ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT


Research supports that teacher quality has more of an impact on student achievement than any other single factor. Professional development keeps teachers abreast of current issues in education, helps them implement innovations, and refines their practice, all of which serve to enhance teacher quality as well as the effectiveness of our instructional programs.

We provide a range of professional development opportunities for staff members, primarily through Easton University. This internal resource allows staff to learn collaboratively and conveniently from instructors chosen specifically for their expertise in areas that are directly related to and supportive of the Easton Public Schools’ Strategic Goals.

Further opportunities include, but are not limited to:

• Reimbursement for participation in graduate level coursework • Full-day in-service, after school, and summer collaborative sessions

offered in-district • Opportunities to create and teach rigorous, aligned professional

development to colleagues • Off-site conferences and workshops • New Teacher Orientation and Mentoring Program • Curriculum Leadership Team

The most significant professional development at the district level will be the units of study being completed in every grade level and content area. Implementation of units began in the 2016-2017 school year, and this will continue in 2017-2018.

The success of Easton University has been expanded to Easton Community University. This program provides the same level of quality information, resources, and outreach for parents and other members of the Easton community that have been provided to staff. Topics are tailored to the interests of the community and are designed to further open the lines of communication and collaboration between the Town and EPS.


Teachers and administrators have provided PD to EPS colleagues after attending conferences and workshops to share what they have learned.

EPS teachers have also held workshops for teachers outside of the district to share their expertise. This includes presenting at state and national conferences as well.

A dedicated space for professional learning has been set aside at Richardson Olmsted for use by staff for courses, workshops, and other collaborative opportunities.

EXPLANATION OF OUTSIDE FUNDING

There are four sources of funding from agencies outside the normal budget and special Town Meeting appropriations which already includes taxes and local aid. The first is specifically targeted state and federal aid/grants. Some of that funding is for SPED programs. That picture changes each year. The second is private/parental/neighborhood contributions (including individual staff member’s unreimbursed expenses). This year we again assessed activity fees. The third is the venture called FEEE (Foundation for Excellence in Education in Easton) which allows the school system to solicit and accept contributions which are eligible for tax deduction for targeted school purposes. These funds go into a revolving account which is overseen by the School Committee in the same manner in which it legally oversees the normal school budget. FEEE funds are used for technology items and given to teachers who apply for grants for their classrooms. The fourth is a category of charges: tuition, gate receipts and other charges for admission, rental fees for the use of building and fields, which also go into separate revolving accounts overseen as above. It is important for the public to be aware that the schools do not rely solely on taxes, but are entrepreneurial insofar as they can be legally without this additional support, the schools would not be able to survive. On the next page, you will see the numbers associated with these alternative forms of revenue.
