Today Mayor Parker announced the 25 public district and public charter schools that will be part of the Extended Day, Extended Year School pilot program next school year. The pilot will help provide safe environments for students, and enrichment programs that are determined by the schools and based on the needs and interests of the individual school community. Elevate 215 attended the event to celebrate the inclusion of two of our grantee schools in the pilot--The School District of Philadelphia's Juniata Park Academy and Pan American Academy Charter School--and to show our continued support for the Mayor's "One Philly" vision for education that fosters collaboration between ALL public schools and focuses on evidenced-based school practices. #PHLed

#LOSTTHEIRMINDS #CCISDWRONG #NOTSTRONG Corpus Christi ISD strengthens support for teachers, families with 2024-2025 cellphone rules As CCISD continues planning for the upcoming school year, the district continues to review input from families and staff to help ensure safe and productive environments at all schools. In response to growing concerns from teachers and families that cellphones are a significant distraction to the learning process and to fostering healthy social connections, the district will have rules in place to minimize the use of phones, smartwatches and other devices. “While we have been, and will continue to be, a leader in blending technology into the learning process where appropriate, we agree that phones have become a significant distraction during the school day,“ said Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez. “We are glad to join other districts around the state and nation in placing reasonable limits we are confident will immediately result in a healthier school environment.” For students in grades PK-8, communication devices, as well as ear buds and headphones, must remain turned off and put away during the school day, including testing days. The elementary school day is 7:50 a.m. to 3:10 p.m., with middle schools beginning at 8:50 a.m. and ending at 4:10 p.m. For students in grades 9-12, communication devices, as well as ear buds and headphones, must remain turned off and put away while in the classroom setting, including during testing days. Students will be permitted to use devices between classes and during lunch. Students needing to use a phone may request to visit the front office. All classrooms are equipped with phones that include emergency alert systems, ensuring assistance can be summoned quickly. Students accustomed to doing schoolwork on their personal device are reminded district-issued Chromebooks are available. “We understand this may be an adjustment for some of our students and families,” Hernandez said. “We appreciate everyone’s support as we work, every day, to help our students have the best possible learning environment, which includes minimizing distractions to foster learning and friendships.” The rules are rooted in district policy issued in 2018, which authorizes schools to follow guidelines set forth in the Student Parent Handbook and which authorizes consequences, including confiscation. Schools will work with students as they become accustomed to the consistent expectation that phones will be put away. If needed, consequences will follow progressive discipline principles, which begin with a reminder warning to follow the rules. Detailed information is available at ccisd.us and in the forthcoming Student Parent Handbook. The 2024-2025 school year begins Monday, August 12.

The Inverted Pyramid: Listening Through the District, One School at a Time! Forest Acres Elementary (Easley, SC) Enjoyed meeting with teachers and the FAES Admin Team! Our meeting covered four topics: 1. Make It Better - recommendations for improving the district 2. The Strategic Plan - how to achieve our five goals 3. Innovation - what innovative ideas do you have for the school and district 4. The Framework – updates regarding progress on the five year plan for the foundational practices with MTSS/RTI at Work This concludes the listening sessions at all (14) elementary schools in the district. Love the culture in each school and appreciate the hard work from each employee. A few quick notes - (1) the one word used by our parents, students and community to describe our district from the recent Cognia visit was "SAFE". Maybe that is why we expect 50,000 new people in our county in the next five years. (2) Yesterday was my first visit to a middle school with the inverted pyramid ... I asked the teachers how did you acquire the trust from so many parents to create a school where students feel safe and their reply: the students came to us with a sense of belonging from the elementary schools! What a compliment! (3) We will always tweak our approach each year but our core is solid so we will not be changing too much next year. Listening allows us to grow but to take everyone up the mountain together!! The first two laps (Early Childhood and Elementary) are finished for the Inverted Pyramid. Now we move to the middle school for the third lap! Team73! #EngagingToday #EmpoweringTomorrow

I am thrilled to share, below, the three pillars of my candidate statement for the Flagstaff Unified School District Governing Board. While the two-year seat is uncontested, I believe it is essential to be transparent about my goals and vision for our school district. Therefore, I am eager to present my statement to the community. I have also included, at the bottom of this post, a link to the Coconino County website where you can read my full candidate statement and the candidate statements for individuals running for the three, four-year seats. Local elections significantly influence our daily lives through decisions on education, public safety, and community services, so make sure to be prepared and know who you support! My platform is built on three pillars: educational excellence, community engagement, and equitable achievement. 1. Educational Excellence: Fostering a culture of continuous improvement within our schools that emphasizes the development of critical thinking, creativity, and lifelong learning skills is central. To achieve this, FUSD must focus on supporting professional development for teachers, promoting innovative teaching methods and ensuring our curriculum prepares students for challenges they will face in the future. This, alongside valuing diversity and promoting equity amongst individuals, will prepare FUSD students to be responsible, informed and engaged members of society. 2. Community Engagement: Parents play a crucial role in their children's education, and I am dedicated to fostering open communication and collaboration between schools and families. I will work to strengthen partnerships between schools, families, and local organizations to promote broader and more open discourse which will build a supportive and inclusive environment for all students based in respect and focused on student development. I will prioritize transparency in decision-making and actively seek input from all stakeholders, ensuring that the voices of our community are reflected in the policies we implement. 3. Equitable Achievement: I will aim to foster an inclusive environment that values diversity and provides equal opportunity. With a focus on implementing culturally responsive and relevant teaching practices and providing resources that are tailored to support the diverse needs of students, FUSD can ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education. To do this, I will advocate for responsible budgeting practices that prioritize classroom needs and student outcomes across all schools. By optimizing resource allocation we can provide our students with the best possible educational experiences while maintaining fiscal sustainability. My full candidate statement can be read: https://lnkd.in/gD4NyZeU

Charter schools are student-centered and can serve the unique needs of each of their communities in ways that district public schools cannot. In exchange for local autonomy regarding students’ education and wrap-around services, charter schools must meet or exceed the goals laid out in their charter, such as student proficiency and community service. Families often choose public charter schools because they are often run by community leaders and former teachers who want the autonomy to make decisions to best meet the unique needs of their students and their families. Key Academy does just that. https://lnkd.in/gfbZ_AAD #WeAreCharter #Dyslexia #Education #OneSizeDoesNotFitAll #CharterSchools #StudentCentered #PublicCharter #CommunityNeeds #LocalAutonomy #StudentProficiency
