As part of that process, we will be using a new system for posting News and Announcements. This is the last post that will be made to this blog. Below is a link to the page on our new website where you can signup for the new News and Announcements. You will immediately notice one of the improvements in the new sites is that you can sign up for many blogs at once. If you have a child in one of our schools, you should have received an email from your school principal with a link to signup for the News and Announcements. The link in this post and the link in that email serve the same purpose. There is no need to do both.<br />
<br />
If you signed up to receive emails from this soon-to-be retired site, you will need to sign up at the new site. Our apologies for the inconvenience but we are sure you will find the new system better in many ways.<br />
<br />
If you no longer wish to receive email alerts from any of our News and Announcements, you do not need to take any action.<br />
<br />
This blog will remain accessible for those that use it as a reference but we will no longer add any new content.<br />

your preferences for each of the options is available and can be completed at
any school or either Town Clerk’s office.

While we have your attention, we'd like to forecast a bit into the next school year. As we continue down the<a href="https://sites.google.com/lssuvt.org/pbl/home?authuser=0"> Road to Proficiency</a> there are two programs that will aid in our travels next year. Both programs are lead by<i> <a href="http://www.upforlearning.com/">Up for Learning</a></i> and will involve powerful youth and adult partnerships. These programs will help students and our community deepen our understanding of how the brain works and why school is changing. The programs are called <a href="http://www.upforlearning.com/initiatives/mindset-metacognition-motivation">M3: Mindest, Metacognition, and Motivation</a> and <a href="http://www.upforlearning.com/initiatives/communicating-school-redesign">CSR: Communicating School Redesign.</a> During this work, 42 students will be trained as youth facilitators. We are excited to work with <i>Up for Learning</i> on these initiatives and look forward to engaging the public this fall on our progress and proficiency based learning systems. pgranthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16270098022204952893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463694012359512554.post-6016420251967530662017-06-08T10:10:00.003-04:002017-06-08T10:10:53.634-04:00Annual School Report<div class="MsoNormal">

Today at PA students in all grades set out on foot to help local businesses, organizations, and with community endeavors. The group pictured above helped Water & Light clean up Clark Park. Other students helped local establishments, such as the Congregational Church, the Morristown Library, the Bike Exchange, MACC, and the teen center. Some students visited with seniors at the Manor, helped prepare food for Meals on Wheels, read to elementary school children, and planted more than 50 trees at the Oxbow. Lots of work was done in the rain to help clean up, spruce up, and fix up parts of town and the school campus. The service was organized and planned by NHS students and concluded with some fun student-led activities at school. Students felt great to be giving back; one student said, "thank you for letting me do service today, it feels so good."<br />

They recently purchased three new buses that are now in use on some routes. These buses have seat belts. Students will be informed and trained on proper use and expectations. During this transition, please encourage your children to use the seat belts and follow procedures. Please call us if you have questions. Thank you for your support and understanding. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In a joint meeting with the Stowe School Board and the Lamoille South Supervisory Union, the Elmore-Morristown Unified Union (EMUU) interviewed Peter Clarke, a consultant who specializes in Act 46.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">We have entered that time of year when lots of celebrating and exhibition of work occurs. Last week (and continuing through the end of May) our art students opened an exhibition at Helen Day Art Center in Stowe. AP students are wrapping up testing and the PA Dance Team will provide a fun and exciting year end show this Friday in the PA Auditorium at 7pm. And, there is lots more to come. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Starting with Prom this weekend some of those big and traditional celebrations begin. Soon, there will be the alumni banquet, clubs and sports year end parties, and, of course, the biggest of them all, Graduation. Our community certainly should celebrate the amazing work of our students and the this important time in life of our seniors. Congratulations! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">We would like to ask for your help in ensuring that your student’s parties, prom, graduation and other end of the year festivities are memorable and safe. Please join us in making every effort to prevent alcohol or other drug use.</span><br />

<span id="docs-internal-guid-1116aa0a-e2fe-b86f-a6bd-c7c0b118f03c"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Young people risk health related, and potentially fatal, consequences when they drink alcohol. These risks increase when alcohol is mixed with prescription or over the counter medication and/or illicit drugs. There are also legal consequences for persons under 21 years who possess alcohol with the intent to consume or who use a drivers’ license as false proof to purchase alcohol. It is important to remember that it is against the law to host a gathering where alcohol is consumed by minors.</span></span></div>

<div>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-1116aa0a-e2fe-eb66-8b53-caea4bdc9778"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Alcohol and other drugs, such as marijuana, over-the-counter, and prescription drugs, impair judgment, perception and motor coordination skills. Youth often underestimate the impact that drugs, especially marijuana, have on driving. Marijuana impairs vision, distorts perception of time and space, inhibits reflexes, and may cause drowsiness. These effects are especially frightening when we take into account a teenager’s inexperience behind the wheel.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">1. Talk about expectations around alcohol and other drugs</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">4. Know the warning signs of a problem</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Learn more about these strategies and how to take action from ParentUp (</span><a href="http://parentupvt.org/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">http://parentupvt.org/</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">), an initiative of the Vermont Department of Health.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The truth is no matter how much we support or shelter our children, they will face situations and stresses that can open the door to substance abuse and other serious issues. While students may complain about our concern and vigilance, <b>studies show that the key reason kids give for not drinking is that they don’t want to disappoint their parents. </b>The truth is that children care deeply about their parents’ opinions—even if they don’t show it directly.</span></span></div>

Since 2009, Stowe, Morristown, and Elmore have been studying
various forms of governance options through four formal committee processes,
including two 706b studies, the most recent of which resulted in a successful
merger between Elmore and Morristown in 2016. Discussions between Stowe and
Elmore-Morristown Unified Union around Act 46 began more than 19 months ago,
and the two districts jointly agreed to pursue an Alternative Structure in the
spring of 2016. Since that time, board members have been working with the
administration to conduct a comprehensive self-evaluation—the basis of the
proposal. The March 22, 2017 meeting continued board analysis of the required
data, including a deep dive into enrollment and demographic trends. The boards
also requested that the administration provide options for outside consultation
and associated costs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The boards expect to complete data analysis and a first
draft this spring, at which point input will be solicited from 1) legal review
(to coincide with the end of the legislative session when rules and changes to
the law will be final), 2) the community, and 3) preliminary review with the
Agency of Education. Once that input has been incorporated, the boards expect
to ratify the proposal and submit to the Secretary of Education by November
2017.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At the state level, board members are closely watching the
progressions of Rule 3400, pertaining to the proposal for Alternative
Structures, and S.122, an act relating to increasing flexibility for school
district mergers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next joint meeting of Elmore-Morristown Unified Union
and Stowe to continue the self-evaluation work will take place on April 26,
2017. The agenda and location will be posted closer to the meeting date;
however, a general work plan can be found at <a href="http://www.lamoillesouthsu.org/">www.lamoillesouthsu.org</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>

This month, I encourage you to go back and take another look at the Road to Proficiency website (linked below) and bring some questions to conferences. Conferences are a month away, but it’s never too soon to start scheduling these important opportunities to check in with your child’s teachers. You can all the main office starting March 13th to schedule (888-4600). We will have staff on hand that day to answer questions about your child’s future, the Personal Learning Plan (PLP-Wolf Track), post high school opportunities, and Title 1 funding. We look forward to seeing you. </span></span></div>

The current fine in the state of Vermont is $249 and 5 points on your driver’s license. Attached is that statute.</span></div>
