VII.C. Principals Reports

Preschool and SES 3-6 Principal’s Report: Mr. Comley
Program/Staff Member Spotlight: Mrs. Elyse Belina does an outstanding job of working with the high need students at SES. Mrs. Belina does a great job managing not only students and the responsibilities that comes with that, but also many adults. Coordinating them to work with her students is no easy task when it comes to that many people. Mrs. Belina has shown she is a great teacher and we are happy she chooses Schuyler as her home! SES K-2 Principal's Report: Mr. Kovar Staff/Program Spotlight: I would like to highlight Megan Reinert 1st grade teacher. Ms. Reinert has shown so much growth as a teacher, and employee of Schuyler Community Schools over the last 3 years. She has embraced the role of team leader of our school improvement team, which involves many hours and extra work with creating agenda's and completing extra tasks. She is always willing to help when needed, and has grown as an educator in her classroom. She works hard to develop meaningful relationships with her students and parents, and uses strategies from APL and Capturing Kids Hearts to accomplish this. I am very proud of her accomplishments and achievements. Rural Schools Principal's Report: Ms. Bebout Program/Staff Member Spotlight: I would like to highlight ALL of my staff at the rural schools!!!! For 2 ½ months they had to share a building, classroom space, specials, and many other things. What could have been a struggle for some, my teachers & paras made the best out of the situation. They worked together, the students did activities together, and students and staff made new, lasting friendships. On the last day before Christmas break there were hugs, a few tears, and a nice send off to the Fisher friends. I am very proud to be the administrator of both of these buildings! Middle School Asst. Principal's Report: Mr. Zavadil Program Spotlight: This month I want to recognize the work of our Middle School Band and vocal students 6th-8th grade. They sounded wonderful during the contests and you can tell that they have been working extremely hard under the leadership of Mr. Ehmke, Mr. Coatney and Mrs. Bywater Staff Member Spotlight: A staff member that I would like to recognize this month is Ms. Mally. She is our 7th grade Science instructor at SMS and she has been a strong and positive member of our team at SMS. Her instruction in the classroom is excellent and follows the Schuyler instructional model. Her ability to form relationships with our students is very impressive and appreciated. Middle School Principal's Report: Mrs. Burton Staff Member Spotlight: Mrs. Carol Reha works as SMS, Rural, and Preschool Nurse, continues to have a positive impact. She is extraordinary in her role, but she also works to serve our district by heading up the District Wellness Committee and School Health Index Committee. In addition, you can find Carol serving Schuyler in Salvation Army, TeamMates as both a board member and mentor, a member of the Catholic Church, and P.E.O. Treasurer. Schuyler can also regularly be seen in the stands at wrestling meets and baseball games. She is a always encouraging our students with her spirit and strengthening our Warrior Pride!

High School Assistant Principal’s Report: Mr. Kasik Program/Staff Member Spotlight: Staci Shonka is in her first year at SCHS and she teaches Geometry, Algebra and Dual Credit Algebra. Mrs. Shonka taught at Hays Center for two years and at Columbus High for five years prior to joining us here at Schuyler. She grew up in North Platte and is married to Greg Shonka who farms in the Schuyler area. Mr. and Mrs. Shonka also has two daughters and they are expecting baby #3. She also is an assistant soccer coach and a freshman class sponsor. Mrs. Shonka is a great teacher who works hard at her craft and is not afraid to be a leader in her department. Mrs. Shonka says that the best part of Schuyler is getting to know a new group of kids and spreading her passion for math. Upcoming Events: The start of the new semester has been smooth and we are gearing up for ACT testing as well as working with the NDE with our priority plan. High School Principal’s Report: Mr. Grammer Program Spotlight: Our high school has for the past two years have been planning and updating our Horticulture program at the high school. The program, which we re-started this year is setup and ran through our green house at the back of the high school. The classes, of Horticulture and Floriculture develop skills in relation to floral arrangements and landscaping. Mrs. Trotter is the teacher assistant for the Horticulture and Floriculture classes and she works with our Ag teacher - FFA sponsor and floral projects. The purpose of developing this program was to assist our students in developing skills in the above mentioned areas. This is the second year we are re-running these classes at the high school and has had more success so far this year. Staff Member Spotlight: The staff member to be recognized for their work in the high school this year is Mrs. Erin Trotter. Mrs. Trotter has worked for the past two years with Horticulture and Floriculture classes at SCHS and landscaping for the district these past two years. She has taken on the challenge of rebuilding these programs, with energy and enthusiasm. The students in these classes work hard to produce quality flowers and work with community on these projects. (poinsettes) She has helped to grow this program and bring fun to the classroom of SCHS. Students are lucky to have her as a teacher and staff are lucky to have her as a colleague. Erin graduated from Columbus Lakeview in 2003 and UNL in 2007. She has been married to Michael for the past 11 years, who is our Art teacher at SCHS.

VII.D. Directors Reports
Rationale:
Staff/Program Spotlight: I would like to highlight our volunteer youth coaches for girls and boys basketball this year. K-1 girls Josh Paccas, 2-4 girls Michelle Burton, 5-6 girls Brian Vavricek, K boys Ulises Fuentes, 1-2 boys Robin Burton, 3-4 boys David Hild, 5-6 boys Mason Kovar (Midland Basketball Boys). There will be many other parent and family volunteers who will give their time to help make these programs successful. We will have held our Coaches Clinic on Thursday, January 10th, and practices begin on January 14th, and run through the week of February 25th. There will be a total of 7 sessions for each grade level. I will give an idea of the number of participants at the next board meeting. Middle School Activities Director's Report: Mr. Zavadil Program Spotlight: Middle School Boys basketball is off to a strong start with 38 students signed up to play. The 1st game of the year is Vs. Central City in Schuyler tomorrow. Staff Member Spotlight: I would like to recognize Erin Trotter and all the work she does in the Field-House helping to organize the employee schedule and managing a lot of the day to day operations. She is absolutely fantastic and works very hard to keep things running smoothly. The Field-House is very busy this time of year and is an excellent resource for our students and local youth teams. Notable Event: The Knights of Columbus will be hosting a free throw challenge in the SMS gym on Friday at 1:30 January 25th. I am very pleased to be working with the Knights of Columbus on another fun event and want to thank them for doing this for our students. High School Activities Director’s Report: Mr. Kasik Program/Staff Member Spotlight: Dan Wolken is in his second year here at Schuyler. Mr. Wolken has taught and coached at Bartlett Wheeler Central, O’Neil St. Mary’s, Lindsey Holy Family, West Point Central Catholic and Valentine before joining us. He lived in Fremont until he was 13 and then moved to West Point. He teaches History and is the Head Girls BB and Track coach. Mr. Wolken brings a lot of teaching and coaching experience to Schuyler, he works hard to make Schuyler better. Mr. Wolken says that the best part of Schuyler is how respectful our students are. Upcoming Events: Our basketball teams will be competing in the conference tournament in a couple of weeks. Our wrestlers have their 13-Team Invite on Jan. 12th and we are also hosting the Central Conf. Wrestling tournament on the 26th. We are also hosting our first annual Speech Invite on February 2nd. Student Services Director’s Report: Dr. Lefdal Program/Staff Member Spotlight: UNL High School - After a semester of UNL High School courses being offered at SCHS, I believe it is important to reflect on the successes, learning opportunities, and down-right struggles of our programs. Let’s start with some basic data that will help us better understand the courses and things we have learned so far. We initially signed up 116 students for UNL courses. We had 30 days to test the courses and see if those students could make it in that type of educational environment. After 28 days, I removed 44 students from the classes and put them into appropriate level courses. We have since added 27 classes and have 99 classes being taken. We had 26 students pass courses in UNL, 41 are still working on courses, 5 students failed a course, and we had 19 that had to be removed due to IEP and language issues or if they moved or dropped out of school. I consider this to be a very successful test run of the program. We have learned how to better operate the classes, which students might be most successful in the programs, which classes are realistic for the level of the student, and when to best use the classes. The second semester will look quite a bit different from semester one. We have a better understanding of how to best use the courses, and which students can be successful. The most valuable piece is that this is a wonderful opportunity for the students at SCHS. We were using the program as a way to recover credit, but I see this program accelerating students and increasing class offerings for our college-bound students. What an amazing opportunity for all of our students. Program/Staff Member Spotlight: Alternative Education - I would first like to thank the board of education for allowing me the opportunity to work with Dr. Hoesing on this program. Although it is still in its infancy stages, I believe this program can and will help many of our students. We have set the maximum number of students at 10, and we currently have 7 students in the program and have 5 that are interested in joining the program second semester. We are working with students to individualize a plan for each one of them. Mr. McClintic has been leading the students through coursework and has seen some early successes with students who hadn’t found success at school before. We continue to work with students on attendance and other challenges and barriers that these students bring into the classroom. We have a long and challenging road ahead of us, but the program is up and running, with a few tweaks along the way, I believe we can have a very successful program. Program/Staff Member Spotlight: College Credit Classes - After reviewing the dual credit and college credit courses, we have so much to be proud of at Schuyler High School. We have 70 students taking 103 college and dual credit courses. Being able to offer our students these opportunities to advance their high school career and prepare them for the rigor of college coursework is nothing short of amazing. By allowing for reimbursement of the course after completion and after criteria have been met, this allows for "leveling the playing field" for all of our students and shows first-generation college students that it can be done. Bravo SCHS and the Schuyler Board of Education! Shout out I would like to thank all of the office staff for all of the amazing work they do for our district. This is a difficult position and all of you handle it with grace, kindness, and awesomeness! Special Education Director’s Report: Mrs. Vrba Program/Staff Member Spotlight: Brenda has been working with our medically fragile students for the last 25 years in the Schuyler Community School system. (Although she has 38 cumulative teaching years in this very specialized field of special education.) Since it was Brenda that provided home-bound services for this group, they are truly like her very own "adopted kids". She is continuously working to improve their instructional programs and/or finding ways for them to enjoy real childhood experiences. One of her young gentlemen is a freshman this year. He has experienced numerous challenges and changes as he has transitioned from the Middle School to the High School. Just like a concerned parent, she suggested maybe spending time with him would help him feel calmer and settled. Brenda stepped up and volunteered to spend mornings with him for the whole week before Christmas break which allowed "coaching moments" for his teacher and paras to happen. (It was NOT an ideal time because she had so much planned for her other students at SMS!) But she did make it work!! Through Brenda's love and compassion for her students, she has been able to develop and maintain a strong safe relationship and "family bond" with her students and their families! Notable Events: In November and December, I spent numerous hours in classrooms conducting observations on my team of special education teachers. This group of educators face some tough obstacles every day in our classrooms. We know that every child can learn BUT they may have a different learning style and work at a different pace to reach mastery. Each child is unique! It is difficult for some core subject teachers and/or general education teachers and/or classmates to understand that..."fair doesn't mean giving every child the same thing, it means giving every child what they need". Special education teachers focus on making modifications and accommodations to the curriculum to ensure their students are being successful in our classrooms. Curriculum and Assessment Director's Report: Dr. Gibbons Spotlight - I would like to express my appreciation for the new staff that attended the APL training. There had been a mix up with dates so we had planned for December 4th and 5th but the teachers were flexible and were able to make the date change to December 13 and 14th work. Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) - The Nebraska Department of Education has created a new designation for the lowest performing 5% of Title 1 schools in the state. Schools are identified based on state assessment performance, growth and progress on state assessments, progress on proficiency for EL students, chronic absenteeism and scores on the school's Evidence Based Analysis (EBA). No school in the Schuyler Community Schools system was designated as a CSI school. 2017 - 2018 State Assessments - I have created a website with our data displays for the third through eighth grade Reading and Math NSCAS at https://sites.google.com/schuylercommunityschools.org/assessmentdata/home Data for all schools in the state can be found at http://nep.education.ne.gov/ What you will see in that data is that while we are not where we want to be, we are also not significantly below the state average in any area. I would really appreciate the opportunity to visit with the curriculum and planning team to go over the data in greater depth. Schuyler Assessment System - Schuyler Community Schools has made the purchase of the Renaissance suite of assessments. This assessment suite will help us better monitor and track the progress of all of our students to ensure that they are learning what we expect them to learn. We will have a training on January 21 to look at understanding and using the data from these assessments.
