Music News
This year, music class has changed due to COVID guidelines recommended by the Department of Health. To aid in instruction during these unprecedented times, the always supportive curriculum office provided funds to purchase music kits. This means that we can give each student their own materials to prevent sharing. Big shout out to Stephanie Phillips, BSD’s curriculum director! Included in the kits are: rhythm sticks, sand blocks, an egg shaker, and rhythm and pitch notation manipulatives. 5th grade students were also provided with a recorder to take home and have been learning with online tutorials and using flipgrid to share their progress.
We look forward to the day we will be able to share musical experiences as a larger Flynn Community with school concerts, PTO celebrations, and school assemblies.

Winter Recess Begins on February 19th
Winter Recess in the BSD

February Break COVID Reminders
As we approach February break, here are a few reminders about the State of Vermont’s directives around COVID that we all must follow:
Travel and Hosting Travelers
“Visitors to Vermont cannot gather with Vermonters or with people from another household. This includes sharing lodging with another household. Travelers may not stay with a Vermont host or stay in a Vermont lodging establishment or short-term rental with another household. Even if they have completed quarantine, or intend to quarantine with another household, they may not gather with another household in Vermont."
Gathering with other households includes weddings, funerals, sleepovers, playdates, or any other activities done with those in another household. If you do any of these high risk covid-spread activities, quarantine is required afterwards.
Even if you have had COVID-19 OR received the vaccine, travel and quarantine guidelines are still in place and applicable to all Vermont residents.
CDC and other states are saying that once vaccinated quarantine guidelines do not apply, but Vermont is saying differently. This is partially due to the high transmission rate we have at the moment. Vermont is the leading state for transmission at the moment. Here’s a link for more statistics.
Travel guidelines remain that anyone who travels outside of the state must quarantine for a total of 14 days from the day they return to Vermont OR get a test on or after Day 7 and quarantine until a negative test result returns. Day 15 would be the first day you may leave your home without testing.
Masks
At this time, the CDC has just recommended double masking, but our Vermont epidemiologists are recommending 2-ply cloth masks that fit correctly over your face. The important thing about masking is not how many you are wearing but that there are no gaps in your mask. It should fit snug around your nose, across your cheeks, and under your chin. If this VDOH recommendation changes, we will let you know. If people choose to double mask, that is fine but it is not currently required.
Here are some BSD procedures we would like to remind our school community about:
Food Celebrations at School
Classroom Celebrations:
Please think about non-food options when planning or contributing to classroom celebrations. In addition to students with severe food allergies, we also have students with food intolerances, religious dietary preferences/practices, and chronic health conditions that exclude them from participating in food-based celebrations. Please be mindful so that ALL students can be included fully in classroom celebrations! If your celebration must have a food item, please contact the BSD food service department to arrange for options that can be purchased through and delivered by the school kitchen team. (Click here to review the whole procedures document.)Kindergarten Registration and Virtual Town Halls

Latest Superintendent Update
February 5, 2021
Dear BSD Community,
February is an important month as we celebrate Black History in our schools. This was first celebrated in 1926 during the week of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln’s birthdays. Carter G. Woodson developed the idea with the goal to raise awareness and celebrate the contributions of black Americans. Woodson wrote about education extensively and he challenged our education system to tell the true and whole history of black people. He challenged the system to teach black history from the experience of black people. Woodson wanted to create a week where we delved deeply into black history to educate our students about the realities of their great achievements and struggles in America. In 1976, Black History Month became a month-long celebration.
100 years after the beginning of this celebration, I am struck by how much work we still need to do across the country to make sure that our curriculum accurately reflects the experiences of our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities, that our teaching and learning is culturally responsive, and that our BIPOC students see themselves in the stories and history that they study every day. I am also struck by the amount of work we need to do as a society to create racial equity. The inequities, trauma, and harm to our BIPOC communities have played out so publically in the past year, and I believe this highlights our responsibility to be brave and to take action. As a white leader, I feel great responsibility to confront and change systems that perpetuate segregation, racism, and white supremacy.
While I am relatively new to Burlington, I have seen our strong commitment to this work. I have also seen and heard that we have much work to do together to address issues of systemic racism in our city and in our schools. I have heard from BIPOC families that they do not feel consulted, valued, and communicated with. I have also heard that we have lower expectations for their children. And I am acutely aware that we need to do a better job working to support and treat our BIPOC staff with respect and care.
I also know that BSD is committed to this work. I see teachers and librarians who are mindful of the books students are reading, and I see discussions about history and current events that ask hard questions of our community across all of our schools. I see a system that has worked intentionally to integrate schools and to value diversity. I know that we are working together on this and that we can address our systems to make them more equitable for our BIPOC community.
I am honored to be a part of a community that is ready for the work necessary to become an anti-racist district. Some of this is underway now. Under our Board’s leadership, we raised the Black Lives Matter flag at every school to show our students and staff of color that we think they matter, we have started both adult and student affinity groups, and our District leadership team is working together to lead with race and equity in our hearts and minds. We are also building upon our foundation of restorative practices, doing the work to create culturally responsive and supportive learning environments in all of our schools. While there is much work to do, we are on the journey together and I am grateful for the energy in the District to move this work forward.
Happy Black History Month,
Tom
Budget - Town Meeting Day is upon us and the Burlington School Board has approved next year’s budget to go on the March 2nd ballot. You may recall that in December our initial projections showed what might be a 13% increase in property taxes. I’m happy to say that our team has worked hard to bring that number down substantially. We were able to identify nearly $1.5 million in reductions without impacting programs or direct services to students and were able to apply more than $4 million in surplus funds to reduce the tax impact. As a result, we are projecting a tax rate increase of 6.88%. Please find more information on our website or check out our budget one-pager. Don’t forget to vote!
BHS Leadership - Please join me in welcoming Interim Principal Lauren McBride and Interim Assistant Principal Gayle Botelho. At a Special Board Meeting on Tuesday, February 2nd, the Burlington Board of School Commissioners unanimously approved their appointments, meaning Principal McBride and Assistant Principal Botelho will stay in their current roles until next school year. Moving forward, BSD is in the process of launching a national search for the next full principal of BHS. We will be open to candidates from Vermont and beyond and will solicit community engagement to help make a decision that best meets the needs of BHS and our community. The position will be posted for external candidates on February 9; qualified candidates are encouraged to apply at www.bsdvt.org/careers.
Downtown BHS Updates
DtBHS Fit Up Funding - The Vermont House of Representatives has passed their version of the FY20 budget adjustment that includes a $3.5 million appropriation in support of Downtown BHS fit up. The bill now heads to the Senate. At this time, we have every reason to believe that the Senate will also support this appropriation. This is exciting news as it will lessen the burden of this cost on local taxpayers.
DtBHS Construction and Logistics Prep - At our new DtBHS campus, more sheetrock is going up, plumbing for new bathrooms is taking shape, and a few of the interior doors have been installed. The BHS Register and VtDigger went through a press tour last week, and WCAX and MyChamplainValley joined us yesterday! BHS teachers (in addition to teaching) are going into BHS to pack up and label their teaching supplies; these will be moved into DtBHS during February Break. This week, BHS teachers began touring DtBHS, and for many, it was the first time they were able to get into the new space.
Town Halls - The BHS Leadership Team began hosting DtBHS Town Halls this week to help show the space and answer questions. The next Town Hall is Wednesday, February 17 at 6:30 pm, via zoom.
Kindergarten Registration and Virtual Town Halls - Do you have a student turning 5 on or before September 1st? It is time to register for Kindergarten! Visit our website to register online; please register by March 15, 2021.
In a normal year, we would extend the offer to join us at Kindergarten Information Sessions in your community and at each school, where you could hear from kindergarten teachers, talk to our Afterschool team, connect with our Preschool director, and ask questions of the registration team.

Restorative Circles at Parent University - The Office of Equity has teamed up with Parent University to offer a new series in Restorative Circle keeping for Multilingual parents. Meeting weekly by language groups on Fridays, participants have come together to discuss the joys and challenges of attending BSD schools. They are getting familiar with the circle process, bonding with each other even in the virtual forum, and building capacity to become eventual RP circle leaders themselves.
Reducing Racial Disparities Grant - BSD has secured a grant from DCF and is working in partnership with Up for Learning and Burlington Community Justice Center with the goal of eliminating racial disparities in suspensions and punitive disciplinary practices in our schools. Our goals are to establish a process for authentic youth engagement and work to replace traditional disciplinary models with restorative practices. As part of this work, we have secured a part-time position as a Youth and Family Restorative Liaison to help guide this work and implement Tier 2 Restorative Practices.
New BTC Afterschool Program - Too many cooks in the kitchen? Not a chance! BSD's Expanded Learning Opportunities program has partnered with Edmunds and Hunt Middle Schools, BHS, and BTC’s Culinary Arts Program to offer students opportunities to cook up fun and delicious recipes afterschool! Chef Cheryl Niedzwiecki and her culinary students are offering live cooking demonstrations and instructions to a limited number of in-person students as well as streaming and recording these demonstrations for students to complete at home. Students interested in participating virtually receive all of the necessary ingredients and cooking tools delivered to their residence so they can follow along with Chef N. Over 25 students participated virtually in the first demonstration, many were joined by their parents and siblings making for a fun multi-generational cooking experience!
2021 Scholastic Art Award Winners - BTC has 13 student artists from our Digital Media Lab and Design Illustration Programs the 2021 Scholastic Art Award Winners.
