Principal’s Reflection

Two weeks ago, we rolled out the implementation of SDM – School Dismissal

Manager, a web based tool used to manage the dismissal of students. Historically,

parent volunteers and school office staff have spent up to 3-hours each day translating

notes from home into bus passes and afterschool activity rosters. In less than two weeks,

over 70% of parents are using the tech application to communicate absences, tardiness,

and/or any changes to children’s usual dismissal plans. Each day, at 2:05PM, teachers

and administrators receive student dismissal rosters via email. We have received a lot of

positive feedback from parents regarding how easy and efficient SDM is to use. Our

target is to have 100% participation by the end of this month.

Pine Hill will resume the practice of supporting the growth of aspiring educators

through supervised practicums, internships and student teaching placements next

semester. We will have two elementary education field placement students from FSU

working under the supervision of Ms. Gird (Grade 1) and Ms. Custodio (Grade 2). Ms.

Feldman will oversee an Occupational Therapist intern from UNH. In addition to CORI

checks, we now require fingerprinting clearance for all university students placed at our

school.

In December, we start the preregistration process for kindergarten enrollment. All

families with school-aged eligible children (children turning age five by the September

1st cutoff) will be contacted and asked to confirm the status of their intent to enroll their

child/children in public school. According to the Town of Sherborn census data, there

are 62 kindergarten eligible children. In addition, we are aware of five children whose

families deferred kindergarten enrollment from this year until next year and we

anticipate accepting two students into kindergarten through the METCO Program

application process. Official kindergarten registration begins in February.

I would like to recognize the professional talent and leadership of the Pine Hill

Curriculum Leaders for their work to align our report card content to the Massachusetts

Curriculum Frameworks for Mathematics and English Language Arts and Literacy.

Thank you to Heather Mackay – ELA, Robin Mansfield – Math, Jettora Lundquist,

Science, and Rachel Correia – Social Studies, for spearheading the revision work.

Report Cards will be issued on January 29th

Re: School Committee report

Date: November 23, 2015

As the year progresses, much is happening. Below are a few highlights.

Educator evaluation

Qualified Peer Observers continue to work with their fellow educator(s). Overheard recently, a

QPO noted “I am benefiting from the conversations about teaching and learning as much as the

paired educator.” On December 9th

the QPOs and I will meet to discuss how things are going and

to share ideas for the spring QPO training session for a new cohort of QPOs to continue this

important collaborative work. Applications for the next cohort of QPOs will be released

December 1st.

Professional Development

The district-wide professional development day is scheduled for Monday, November 30th

, with

all K-12 educators and administrators participating. The morning sessions will find Chickering

educators refining their literacy curriculum; Pine Hill educators will launch their Challenge

Success work in creating a climate of care; Middle School educators will continue their work

with Martha Heller-Winokur on close reading strategies; and High School educators will attend

two technology sessions, facilitated by high school peers, that highlight how technology supports

teaching and learning.

In the afternoon, all K-12 educators and administrators will gather at Mudge Auditorium to work

collaboratively with Resilient Kidshttp://www.resilientkids.org/ for a launch of the district-wide

Challenge Success focus of connected, confident and focused DS students.

Educators present at national conference

This past weekend, three middle school educators attended the National Council of Teachers of

English conference in Minneapolis. Ms. Laura Mullen ( ELA Curriculum Leader) and Ms. Ana

Hurley (Science Curriculum Leader) presented “The Art of Observing: Combining Science, Art


& the Poetry of Joyce Sidman”. Poetry author Sidman co-facilitated the session with Laura and

Ana. The unit that Laura and Ana crafted was shared with attendees, along with a link to the

curriculum artofobserving.weebly.com . We are proud of Laura and Ana’s accomplishments and

their showcasing the great teaching and learning at DS. Additionally, Ms. Veronica Moy

attended from the middle school.

RE: Monthly Report


Coordinated Program Review

On October 20, 2015 I participated in a training webinar for our upcoming CPR. We were given some

basic information regarding the process and next steps.

On December 4, 2015, Dr. Karen LeDuc and I attended Web-Based Management System training in

Canton. This training focused on the process of uploading documentation that is required to assess our

compliance with State and Federal Regulations in the areas of Special Education, Civil Rights and

English Language Learners.

Our documentation must be submitted to the DESE by May 17, 2016. The on-site visits from the CPR

team will take place in the fall of 2016.

TO: Sherborn School Committee FROM: William H. McAlduff, Jr. Interim Superintendent of Schools DATE: December 4, 2015

RE: Interim Superintendent’s Report

Student Assessment As you know the DESE Board voted to support the Commissioner’s recommendation to create an enhanced version of MCAS as the state’s new student assessment program. You have received information previously outlining the details of the Commissioner’s so-called “MCAS 2.0” proposal. The plan is for implementation of MCAS 2.0 to begin in the spring of 2017 for students in grades 3-8. The district will have an opportunity, if it so chooses, to engage in the PARCC version of the assessment program next spring as opposed to continuing with MCAS for 2016. Details on the deadlines for making such a decision are being finalized now so I will have a little more to share with you on December 8th.

The Public Schools of Dover and Sherborn do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex/gender, gender identity, religion,

national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or homelessness.






Attached please find the FY 2017 Budget for your review.

learning aspects. I will then provide a general introductory overview of other budgetary items. Mr.

It is my expectation that as a “first pass” there may in fact be some questions and comments as part of

this agenda item although not expansive in nature. Please find below a suggested action plan for

continuing the FY17 budget development process beyond December 8, 2015:

School Committee members as well as Advisory Committee Liaisons to submit „first pass”

questions to the SC Chair (Anne Hovey), in writing, no later than December 21, 2015. As she

receives questions Anne will forward them to the Interim Superintendent.

The Pine Hill Administrative Team will work with Central Office to provide written responses to

these questions for the January 12, 2016 SSC meeting where questions and comments will be

reviewed as well as any changes or adjustments brought forward by administration.

Administration will continue working with the School Committee to discuss and provide updates

on the proposed budget at the February 9th

meeting as well.

On February 10, 2016 the SSC is scheduled to present its FY17 budget to the Advisory

Committee.

We anticipate continuing to respond to questions and comments from both SC and Advisory

Liaisons throughout the process in the manner described above.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Sherborn School Committee



RE: Donation from Sawin Fund

I respectfully request that Sherborn School Committee vote favorably

to accept a $13,000 donation from the Sawin Fund.

A fund to support public schools in Sherborn was established in 1858

as the “Dowse School Fund” in support of a public high school. In

1871, Martha Sawin died and left her estate to the Town to invest and

apply the income to support a public school. The assets were

eventually turned over to the Town and the Sawin Fund remains,

which provides an annual donation to the Pine Hill School each year

to support student enrichment and guidance.

The Sawin Fund proposes a donation in the amount of $13,000 this

year. Funds will be used to supplement field trip costs, a school-wide

enrichment program TBD, the naturalist experiences via Broadmoor

and Hale Reservation (in cost share with the CSA), afterschool

enrichment clubs, and guidance needs that may arise.

Thank you for considering this donation.

The District Information Management and Technology line item was over budget due to the replacement of classroom projectors. The balances of Food Service, Building Use, and Miscellaneous Gift accounts was also provided.
