I'm here tonight to present the superintendent's recommendation that the governing board adopt resolution a 407 we're claiming October 10th through the 16th, 2021 as the week of the school administrator. Normally at this time, what I would do is recognize the dedication and the work that our administrators do in terms of giving a safe and nurturing environment, providing instruction in the classroom and then dedication and community chore service. But this is a year like no other, and it has been extremely challenging for administrators this year. I have never been more proud of a group of, of individuals as, and be a part of a group of individuals. As I would say, the school administrators for San Juan unified school district in the year 2021, they're doing work that they never thought they'd be doing their contact tracing. They're talking to people about vaccinations. They are talking to people about substitute shortages in filling in classrooms on a daily basis. And they are working harder as a group than I've ever seen a group of individuals work. So it gives me great pleasure to, to bring this forward. I'd also like to recognize and have come forward, Mr. Richard Judge, president of the San Juan teachers, excuse me, the San Juan Professional Educators Coalition and Diana Marshall as well. You guys both come on up front and they, Diana is the president of the San Juan Administrators Association. And they're here to thank the board for the resolution and Rich, I'll let you if you'd like to say a word or two and Diana you as well, go ahead. - I'm old-school here. Thank you, president Villescaz. Members of the board superintendent Kern Ms. Cunningham. It is my privilege truly to represent the dedicated, hardworking site administrators, psychologists, and program specialists at the San Juan unified school district. Mr. Oropallo has it right. Our members have worked very hard this year. They've met the challenge during these very trying times with creativity and resiliency. They want to ensure that a quality learning environment is in place in the face of these hardships. On behalf of the San Juan professional educators coalition, we should express our appreciation for you taking the time to recognize our efforts this year, and to recognize our dedication to our profession. Thank you. - Good evening, school board members. I just like as president of San Juan administrators association, we'd just like to thank you so much for this acknowledgement, the work, not only at the sites, but at, through all of the departments and the administrators in all of the departments, the amount of actual work that they're doing this year to make it as smooth as possible. I believe that this work is very appreciated. So thank you for your continued support. - Thank you, Rich and Diana. That is a, this is an action item. - Thank you, it is indeed an action item. And first I do, I will be asking for a motion, but first I want to see if there's any comments or questions. I just want to express my, my gratitude. Our administrators have turned into public health experts. COVID testing experts, safes school safety experts, experts in how to manage. They were already experts in managed personnel, but adding, you know, the broader school community. It it's definitely been, been a hard road ahead and we are certainly appreciative of the kind of above and beyond that our administrators have gone. So I just want to express my thank you on behalf of the board and ask everyone to join me in a round of applause thank you. (Villescaz clapping) And now is there a motion to adopt the resolution number 8407 proclaiming the week of October 10th or 16th as the week of the school administrator. It's been moved by Ms. Costa and seconded by Ms. Creason all those in favor, please indicate by saying aye. Aye, that was unanimous, thank you again. (Villescaz clapping) Thank you, Mr. Oropallo and team. We are now at item E2 our high school student council reports tonight. We have the absolute pleasure of hearing from our student representatives from Rio Americano high school and San Juan high school. Welcome to you all. And we can began with Nate Vanderka and Lana. I've got a vet question from Rio Americano, and I apologize in advance and invite you to correct me if I've misspelled your name. Thank you for joining us. - Good evening, president Villescaz, members of the board, superintendent Kern and Ms. Cunningham. We are Nate Vanderkarr and Lana Avetisyan Thank you for inviting us to share with you a little bit about what is happening at Rio Americano high school. Rio is adopting and changing with the times overcoming obstacles and finding success in our students and faculty. With so much happening in the world we are trying to find ways to best support our community, responding to the pandemic and raging fires. We are putting on our first blood drive, where students are given the opportunity to donate blood to those in need. We have also just put on our largest and most active club rush week yet with over 50 clubs and attendance and a display in our quad that would match college campuses. Another way we are trying to include our student body is by getting together with our ILS program and finding ways to include them in mainstream activities at our school. Every Wednesday and Friday, a student from ILS joins two of our student government members and monitoring and overseeing the student store. They learn how to operate machinery, interact with customers and organize clothes. Rio is also turning a new page and highlighting the struggles of mental health, our counseling office now as a part-time mental health professional that can aid and advise students on beth, on the best ways to maintain adequate mental health. We are currently in our online suicide prevention awareness week, where we provide educational and informational resources in order to raise awareness about suicide. The next month we were putting on events and publicizing information and again, educational resources in order to raise awareness about breast cancer. We're also finding new ways to appreciate our faculty and staff. Next week is our first faculty appreciation week. We are going all out to support and recognize our staff. - Since sports are back so our, our student sections, we are showing out for our athletes and coaches with rowdy students sections the lead spirited and engaged fans. Unfortunately, we have canceled or postponed many of our events this year. So we are trying to find ways to put on activities and events outside during school hours. Everyone said Friday at lunch, we put on games play music, Play music, and put spike ball nets on the field so that students can socialize and have fun in a COVID safe environment. We also just had our annual annual cheer pasta feed, where our students, faculty and parents show up to a night of music performances and food to raise money for cheer coaching staff. Over homecoming week will look very different than usual. We are putting on a homecoming week with spirit days and lunchtime activities. Each class will be decorating their hallway with their chosen city to go with the overall homecoming thing of cities. Then on Friday, we are having an extended lunch period, which will include games, music and an ice cream social. With the help of our parents we collaborate, collaborated with PTSA to have a school-wide caravan from Rio's parking lot to the football game at Del Campo. The football game will be held at Del Campos. We stand in need of bleachers and have to make necessary arrangements in order to have games. We also have our outdoor senior family picnic this weekend, where seniors on their families can meet up, eat and enjoy music. Thank you so much for having us here this evening. It was a great opportunity to represent, represent the interests of Rio Americano high school, thank you. (audience clapping) - Thank you, Nate and Lana, and I appreciated the teamwork and the report. I'm going to see if my colleagues have any questions or comments of you. Checking with my colleagues, Mr. Hernandez. - Thank you for that report. I just want to commend you when the world tells us so many things that we can't do, you guys have found a ways that you can and to benefit our students. So thank you very much for that. - [Villescaz] Ms. Creason. - Thank you for the report. Just a couple of notes. You hit my heart on a few things first and I'm sorry. Acronyms throw me off sometimes ILS. - That's our Independent Living Services. - Thank you, appreciate that. So you really hit my heart, you know, the blood drive. Can you talk a little bit more? Is that during school hours? - Yeah, so we've had signups over the last two weeks and it actually filled up within the first day. - That's awesome. - All of our slots filled up and then the blood donation organization is going to come next week during school hours. And kids usually choose their least active period. So typically their elective class to go donate blood during that time. - That's wonderful. And do you do that multiple times a year usually, or? - Yeah, it's typically once every semester, but I think we're going to go for twice this semester just because of the environmental disasters and the pandemic and stuff. - That's wonderful. The breast cancer awareness really hit my heart too. So often that's the conversation share saved for older women when really everybody at a younger age, men too, at any person needs to have that conversation and awareness. My mother passed of breast cancer when I was 11 years old. So that's an issue near and dear to my heart. So I really commend you for elevating that it's huge. - Thank you. - I know I have more, fundraising. You mentioned the fundraiser coming up and I was just at San Juan high school earlier today. And fundraising was something that was discussed with the class and I'm just wondering, how are you making that work? Like what is, what, what kind of fundraising are you doing? - Well, we're trying to make ways to just fought to just be as safe as possible because we really want to stay in school. And so what really we've been doing is we've been contacting places where that have outside of school. We contact places that like have food for everyone that can, we can raise food with everyone, but during school hours, we usually just, well, we haven't done this yet, but we're planning on an ice cream social. And with this, we're going to try to have masks as much like safety as possible, and just try to raise money in a COVID safe way. - Wonderful well, thank you for all of you. - Thank you. - Thank you both very much for, for the report. And I just, you know, love all the activities happening at Rio and really we really appreciate when you all come and share them. So thank you very much for coming. I wanted to invite you if you wanted to, to share just a little bit more around kind of the, it sounded like there was an effort around peer support and on with an emphasis on mental health in particular, is there anything, you know, that you see you'd like to be happening that you might not be able to, or just something that, you know, we might be able to lend support on that or anything else you'd like to share about those efforts? I really appreciated the mentioned. - I mean, yeah, over summer we kind of had planning sessions, not knowing what the year was going to look like. And we basically came to the conclusion that because not everybody has social media and because not everybody has access to everything we're doing and they don't look at all of our posters and everything, the most efficient way to reach everyone on campus is through like a rally format essentially. And so when that's kind of hard during COVID, so our ideal goal in the next few years after the COVID guidelines has sort of died away and we can all be safe indoors is to have like the mental health conversations in a school-wide setting where everyone's present and it's person to person. So it's more engaging and personal and having mental health experts come and talk to the school in person or going classroom to classroom because not everybody reads all their social media posts and not everyone is as active as the next person. So our goal in the next coming years is to have school-wide settings where all 2000 kids can come and be in one place and we can have more engaging conversations about mental health. - Excellent, I really appreciate kind of the additional context there and it sounds like you're thinking pretty long-term, but if there's anything in the short-term or long-term, you know, we can be helpful with, or that I can be helpful with, please, please don't hesitate to let us know. Thank you both very much for joining us next up. - Thank you. - Thank you. (audience clapping) Next up we will hear from Natalie Castaneda and Jovanni Castillo from San Juan high school. Good to go. - Good evening President Villescaz, members of the board, superintendent Kern and Ms. Cunningham, I'm Giovanni Castillo, currently a senior at San Juan high school. And I am an avid. - I am Natalie Castaneda also a senior at San Juan high school. I am cheer captain, ASB president, and also have been AVID for the past four years. Thank you for inviting us to share with you a little bit about what is currently happening at San Juan high school. - Like many students at San Juan high school. I feel like we've been dragged down the list of priorities. We received our books two weeks after our first day of school. We just recently received our Chromebooks for every classroom, and we see more substitutes and teachers, this lack of resources cause colleges applications to come to a complete stand still because of the lack of computers and may teachers halt their lesson plans. Although we acknowledged that we are all going through a tough time and one of the toughest we will probably be faced with in our lifetime, we feel that our priority placement made it a little harder on us. - Recently, ASB has been struggling a bit with trying to plan events around everything due to it getting canceled last minute, or us just being told no to events, but we have just put on our first spirit week of the school year, a week ago during our homecoming week, which went pretty well. We were also able to hold our annual club rush during the same week and many students were able to find enjoying clubs they were interested in. We have had some fun Fridays since school started with activities and games for students to hang out and do during lunch, which have been successful. We also were able to do homecoming court this year, even though we didn't have a dance, which allowed students to elect their fellow classmates to be nominated and possibly win homecoming royalty for their grad grade class. As for upcoming events, we are working towards planning for our senior night football game, which will be on October 29th. And the annual alumni picnic will be taking place this Saturday, October 2nd at rush park from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. We would like to extend the invitation to you all. - After spending a year and a half behind the strain, it feels good to be back in person and connecting with students to teachers, although the transition was a little shaky at first, we were like, we never left. For many students, especially myself. Being able to have that sense of human connection back has made school so much more engaging students who would never participate in class are participating. We have more people in the stands than ever, and our school spirit is through the roof. We're all trying our hardest to make a good situation out of the problems we are faced with. - As seniors in high school, there have been many resources to get us ready for college, whether it is having supportive teachers who wanna see us succeed or having programs like avid or pipeline to college, we have also been provided with great opportunities that help us prepare for our future. Most students at San Juan had never even thought about going to college before attending high school, but with the help of avid in our college and career center here at San Juan, more students are seeing college as a possibility for them. Avid, I can say from personal experience helps students prepare for college, especially those who are first in their family to pursue higher education and know nothing about the college process. - We would like to say, thank you, for giving us the chance to speak about our school. (audience clapping) - Thank you both so much for joining us this evening and for your reports. I'm first going to check in with my colleagues to see if there's any questions or comments, Ms. Creason. - Thank you for your report and mask faces are hard. I believe you two were in the class today. It's nice to see you guys again and thank you for hosting me today. It was a wonderful conversation. So as I mentioned in class today, books are gonna be discussed tonight, and I know you might not want to stay around, but that's going to be addressed. And it's a really important issue. So I appreciate you bringing it up. The Chromebook advocacy, as I said earlier today was amazing. And I appreciate, you know, you guys reaching out and I hope that we can continue to collaborate to my colleagues, had a great discussion with their class today. There's a lot of great ideas that came up. Some things are board related, some aren't, but I did commit to help them, you know wherever the right leverage point is to get them there. So I just really appreciate the initiative and advocacy that you are all willing to do regarding events it's my understanding that an announcement will be coming out later this week. So staying tuned for that, is that correct? - There's already been some communication out. And so Trent are we having more communication this week? (indistinct) Okay, but the information has been shared with school administrators as the new guidance did go public last week. - So more on events soon, I know that a lot of folks want, you know, we're back on campuses and folks want to get together and do things. So I get it within safety guidelines, we should be able to do that.
