Naples HS Board of Education Report
September 2018
Welcome Back!
- Naples JRSR High School opened their doors to students on Tuesday, September 4th. Students arrived to school with eager, smiling faces and have quickly demonstrated their readiness to learn. In effort to foster “community” and to lay the foundation for a safe and supportive learning environment, “Opening Day” assemblies were held for all students by grade level. During the assemblies, we explored the district mission and the role of the student in that mission. Additionally, we emphasized the Naples High School Learner Profile, RISE (Respect, Integrity, Safety and Excellence) with a video message from faculty.
- Prior to the start of school, the High School welcomed the Class of 2024 with a 7th Grade Orientation on August 21. Seventh graders are acclimating extremely well and certainly a wonderful addition to our learning community!
- The Class of 2018 kicked off the celebration of their graduating year by attending a Senior Picnic on Friday, September 7th from 10:00 – 2:00.

Mock DWI/Distracted Driving Event - Monday, September 17, 2018 Time: 8-11am
The Naples Central School District will be holding a Mock DWI/Distracted Driving event on the morning of September 17, 2018. The event will feature a staged two car accident with Naples students acting as victims. Local fire and ambulance crews as well as police will converge on the scene to help the injured and unravel the cause of this needless accident.
High school students will also attend an assembly aimed at raising awareness about the consequences of underage drinking, impaired driving, distracted driving, and other risky behaviors. Speakers will address both legal and moral issues linked to these issues while providing essential knowledge of NYS laws. The goal of this Mock DWI/Distracted Driving event is to reduce incidents of underage drinking and provide our youth the tools they need to make good life decisions and become responsible members of society.
The final phase of the event will involve four stations and have a station rotation model. Students will hear from a guest speaker, be able to visit with vendors, have reflective discussion with staff, and be able to pledge their safety. Thank you all for your continued support and help to create an educational experience for our students.

Launching MTSS in 2018-19 at Naples HS
Multi-Tiered System of Supports
Agreed Upon Assumptions:
- All children do not learn in the same way.
- All children do not learn at the same rate / speed.
- All children do not arrive to school with adequately developed academic and social behaviors.
- An individual teacher cannot meet EVERY NEED of EVERY INDIVIDUAL student. We must embrace an "all hands on deck" approach.
What MTSS Is:
- A multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) designed to ensure EVERY child may receive the additional time and support necessary to learn and to achieve at high levels.
- MTSS encompasses RtI (Response to Intervention - Academics) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (Behaviors).
- What it IS NOT: A process of documentation to achieve classification in special education.
The Naples HS Faculty engaged in exploration and dialogue surrounding MTSS during our Faculty Meeting on September 10. The agenda for this meeting included:
- Making a Case for MTSS at Naples High School (rationale) - Teachers worked in small groups to jigsaw three resources (Naples HS data points, John Hattie's Visible Learning research, and Mike Matto's RtI research).
- MTSS at Naples High School (menu of supports and interventions at three tiers) - Teachers classified various instructional and behavioral supports and interventions at each of the three tiers of intervention.
- "Our mission is to help children. Although some data is positive (graduation rates and Regents results), other data like an increase in classification of students with disabilities, free and reduced lunches, and chronic absenteeism are concerning. MTSS "should not be a way to meet state mandates, but a means to serve humanity." There is always better work to do for students at NCS."
"According to Hattie, as teachers we can help and create change with students. We have the power with multiple tools in our tool box to support MTSS :)"
- "Teacher, personal goal setting, teacher strategies, RTI have the most positive impact on student achievement!"
"Each tier is reaching a different kid and not just the mid-range kid but those on each end as well."
"Why RTI? Not to raise test scores, but instead to realize every childs hopes and dreams and give them the educational and behavioral skills necessary to achieve them despite home life, disabilities, learning style, etc"
- "Research supports that early intervention and support of all students correlates to higher student achievement."
Two resources which outline our system of supports for students who struggle academically or behaviorally may be accessed below:
- MTSS Menu of Supports at Naples High School, which outlines various interventions and provides a brief description of each.
- MTSS at Naples High School, which captures the MTSS pyramid at Naples HS
1:1 Devices and Digital Agendas at Naples High School
Student Agendas
- Naples High School will no longer be utilizing and / or distributing student agendas previously purchased through the vendor, School Date Books. Effective September 2018, students will be instructed on and encouraged to use the calendar function embedded within our Learning Management System, Schoology.
- Note: While Schoology also has a gradebook feature, we will continue to communicate all grades through SchoolTool as we cannot verify the accuracy of those listed in Schoology.
- Mrs. Radin-Snaith shared more information with teachers during Opening Day on 8/29 and with students during Welcome Back Assemblies on 9/4.
Device Distribution
- Student Chromebooks and Ipads were distributed to students who had returned their AUP and Device Contract documents on Friday, 9/7, and Monday, 9/10, during Lunch A and Lunch B.
- Kudos to Anneke, Ben and Bernie for their organized and efficient distribution process.
Launch: Digital Citizenship in 2018-19
- After reflection on last year's 8 week rollout of digital citizenship education at Naples CSD, a team of teachers devoted to the program decided to take a different approach to the initiative this year.
- On August 29th, opening day for staff, a workshop was held for all teachers and support staff to attend to learn about the new digital citizenship format. Here, the new standards that needed to be covered were discussed and then staff had voice and choice to decide which one standard they wanted to cover in their curriculum at their time convenience throughout the year.
- Teachers will now have the freedom to choose how they are going to implement digital citizenship within their current curriculum. They will now only be responsible for one standard they feel comfortable with, instead of all eight.
- On August 30th, teachers were able to sign up for work time dedicated to brainstorming lesson ideas with colleagues and their departments. The goal is that teachers would now have more freedom to choose a standard that could easily be embedded into their curriculum, perhaps something they already cover throughout the year.

Acceptable Use Policy
The High School AUP has been modified in the 2018-19 school year. On the one hand, the document is now less restrictive in terms of what students can use devices for. We changed the phrase “for educational use only” to “appropriate for the educational setting.” This makes it OK for students to use their devices purposes not directly tied to school, as long as they are school appropriate.
At the same time, we are tightening down and being more explicit about what is not appropriate:
downloading or using games/apps that are obscene, lewd, or violent.
any use (in or out of school) that disrupts educational setting by compromising other students’ physical, emotional, or mental safety.
cyberbullying (in or out of school).

Restorative Circles at Naples HS
The aim of restorative practices is to develop community and to manage conflict and tensions by building relationships and repairing harm. The building of social capital (aka connections among individuals) is a huge part of community building circles, where students will have the opportunity to communicate and build deeper, more positive connections between one another. When social capital is well established, it is easier to respond effectively to conflict and restore order and repair relationships. The reasons we want to incorporate these into Naples are that when people are happier and get along better they are more likely to be cooperative, productive, and more likely to make positive changes in behavior. Community building circles are really driven by the students and their thoughts and beliefs, with mutually agreed upon values and norms. Students will be more inclined to make positive changes when adults do things with them rather than to or for them. The community building circle provides a safe environment for students and adults to gain a deeper appreciation of commonalities and differences, encourages respect and caring for all, allows for deeper connections and a sense of belonging, and also helps students learn how to communicate and problem solve.
Due to the demands and intensity of day to day work with being a staff member in a school, it can sometimes be difficult to connect with one another throughout the school day. This can create sense of isolation and really increase stress levels. As the school psychologist in the high school building, I see the negative effects of this first hand throughout the school year as different teachers stop in and unload. After attending the training for circles this summer, I realized that we as staff members were also missing this piece of connectedness, community, and support. If we are to promote this type of communication and openness, I felt that it was important to also model it and give teachers the opportunity to connect in a nonstressful environment. I was overwhelmed with how quickly and seamlessly it seemed that staff participated and opened up during the opening day circle. I think the best part of the circles for staff is that everyone got a chance to connect. My hope is that staff realize that by making time for that type of community building activity that they know that their well-being is just as important as standards and test scores.

From the Desk of Mrs. Kastner, 7th - 9th School Counselor:
I sat in a circle 3 days this summer at a 'Restorative Conference' training with Ms. Steenburgh, wondering what I was getting myself into. It felt a little like group counseling but clearly wasn't. There were objects in the center of the room that I later learned represented different items or were tools for Circle exercises. While our large group of adults all worked in a school, we were very diverse- ethnically, racially, district-size, socioeconomically, and religiously. Some people were eager to be there and others were clearly miserable.
I silently wondered how we were going to come together as a group-the ultimate goal of a Community Circle. I discovered that you could share when asked a question-or choose to sit quietly and pass with no judgment. I learned that what you chose to share was up to you and could be as personal, or not, as you wished. At times the silence between conversations felt awkward because we aren't used to it in a world that moves so fast. Sometimes we sat in a circle and sometimes we worked in small groups. We started and ended each Circle exercise with a fun question, an icebreaker, or inspiring quote that made us think, see similarities and differences, and at times, laugh and bond. Some activities incorporated movement and engaged more than our mind. We added pieces of ribbon of our choice to a wreath and made an object-a talking piece-all our own, unique to our group. The awkwardness faded rather quickly-and soon most everyone was participating and adding to our conversations in the Circle. I learned that there was a lot of symbolism in Circles-one chair for each person, talking objects that may represent other things, objects created by the group that became part of the process. I was taught that you could only talk in the Circle when you were holding the 'talking piece' and that facilitators participated too. We were encouraged to actively listen, and soon I found myself learning how to better quiet my brain so that I could hear the important things people, I was now learning to really know, were choosing to share.
Something significant I find hard to describe happened within the 3 days-people shared quietly, then shared more. Those reluctant became engaged and honest-and open. We didn't always agree but we always respected each other's opinions. Our daily lunch break became this comfortable gathering place by choice, not much different than our Circle. I learned that we had far more in common than we had differences.
I walked away energized by the simple approach. Does just giving everyone an opportunity to speak their mind and have their peers listen create trust? If this much sharing, bonding, and building of a community could occur in just 3 days, what could we accomplish in a year? How would strengthening our community change our school? Stories and research on schools that had implemented Restorative Practices and Community Circles were filled with warmth, positive change, and signs of more compassion and kindness towards others.
Ms. Steenburgh and I went back to Mrs. Ashton and passionately shared our plan-an ambitious one, to introduce circles to our middle school students in just a few weeks. With full support, I tentatively reached out to Mrs. Powers, asking for scheduled time in her classroom to try this approach. She enthusiastically jumped on board. A week later-this past week-we nervously kicked off our first Circle group in FCS-tentatively called Fishbowl Tuesday's. While I made a lesson plan, in Circles I learned, you sometimes edit the plans as you go so it becomes what the group wants or needs but I still wasn't sure what to expect. Would students buy-in? Would they hate the process? Would everyone just pass and not share?
We put the chairs in a circle, a chair for each of us, and soon students entered the room, tentatively seeing the grouping. Some loved it instantly, and others I could sense felt unsure. Mrs. Powers and I watched closely to see where students sat, an indication of who they may feel comfortable with, and information we could use later to make lessons go more smoothly. We began by discussing the norms of the group-the talking piece, the ability to pass, the need for 100% honesty and kindness. We started with an icebreaker that got them moving-they had to stand every time a statement made applied to them. Soon students were giggling, asking to go next, choosing funny and lighthearted questions that revealed a lot about our members. Some students struggled to choose a question when it was their turn-and peers jumped to their assistance. The second step of a circle is typically asking students a question that can be serious, funny, or even related to issues that are occurring within the school. Today I chose to ask students what the definition of a 'Community' is-and asked them to build their own ribbon wreath as they spoke. Mrs. Powers and I were shocked by their knowledge of the benefits of a community, their stories of how our local communities have come together in times of struggle, and how a community can support its members. They were then asked to share what unique trait or ability they could bring to our community to make it more fun, interesting, or valuable. Students volunteered a variety of information-often knowledge that even their friends in the class didn't appear to know! For the last question, I asked students to take turns describing the most interesting piece of information about them-and found out about world travels, family members who were important to them, struggles some had, etc. We ended with a closing quote-'Without a sense of caring, there is no community'.
After the last class of students cleared Mrs. Powers' room, we had a moment to reflect and both shared excitement about where this could go. I had learned more about Mrs. Powers in our first Circles than I had in the 3 years I'd known her. I observed students who were quiet and reserved in the hallways and lunch share meaningful information. I watched students with social skill deficits given the time and support by peers to answer questions in their own way without pressure. I do not know where we will end up with our Circles practice but I do know with just one week's meeting, that it's worth the effort to explore its possibilities!
