much money they do and we're going to figure it out we're going to find a way and make sure that everything has every opportunity PTO symptom of those organizations that help well so ghmc that should

talk a little bit about that Foundation meaning of German beer on the president of the Grandview Heights marble Cliff Education Foundation hopefully most of you are familiar with us when you're probably best known for our fundraising event every winter which is the the Education Foundation gala Austin said we are a source within the Columbus Community we are actually one of the largest education foundations in the Greater Columbus area we were started 26 years ago with the intent of formally starting an endowment that would van lifelong learning opportunities for both our community and our school last year I just last winter I gave up I was pleased to announce that we have an asset-based as well over 1 million dollars that we have grown in the last 26 years which phrase did you do with Dowling and a lifelong funding source for ways that we can help our community in a day Chrome try new things both as a community as well with the schools are we donated almost $1000000 to the schools and communities over the past few years on such things like Empire programs for sinus technology programs community and public Start programs 3 years ago or so we read in one classroom and each one of the school so to try to test our 21st Century Learning designs we've done community programs are we going to do a number of scholarships throughout the course of a year I last did not least the Globe Investor and the uniforms as well as the wellness center in a number of other things so for those of you more familiar and participated I'm doing anything to the auction showing up with the game thank you I'm if not love to see you tonight February 24th will be this year's new Ramen yard facility looking forward to it thank you the things that we believe in here I think it's really important to make sure that everyone has what were after without together the principal sometimes is a hard job lot of people give me that look you got to got to kind of learn from  I'm always proud of our teachers and I mean this sincerely I would put our teachers up against any building anywhere student service building relationships and caring about kids in particular when you get into the high seasons of times sometimes it becomes more the lady one should and sometimes Disney lost I don't believe that there's certain examples broken feel like I could have reached it better or differently doesn't always happen the way that we wanted to for every single to work really hard at that I believe in our staff picture of your is great illustration of what Rabbi talked about this Olympic Staffing and we talked a lot about our why why are we here superheroes in its Mount Rushmore obviously  and we believe you know that the most impactful educators would be on Mount Rushmore of his life for people that have the largest impact on their lives how many of you would choose and as you know from me up there and then High School by  that's because they care about me they love me they did anything in the world to help me grow and helping realize my potential including kicking me in the butt and I was a junior in high school because I wasn't working on my for the classroom  the night Malaysian you really believe that educators will have an immortality and influence on our kids on your kids and so relationships sporting thing that we talked about our building and there's there's a form of that I talked about a lot with our staff and that's relationships number one bill Christian passions interested invest in their lives understand what they want to do what happened understand where they want to go in life what they want to accomplish and do everything you can to help them realize those rules okay S4 Stop PlayStation has relevance share what you know until they know you care about it since it's cliche and so true and the only way you're going to be relevant as an educated Zelda lationships between the only way you can make that content relevant who build relationships with kids and you understand who they are there's greater relevance always leads to that are simple for me is based off of Willard and Willard Avenue the lottery search in and talk about the rigor relevance formula you talk about relationships as much and so I kind of disagree with him on the order of the ARs said relationships with III I believe it's the foundation but ultimately it kind of drives what we do and try to talk about it a lot and are built that our goal as for our Educators to end up on that mental brush Friday for our kids for years  solo Univision is you have a really small school  and right now we're working really really hard to make it small every single school in the United States of America better work on that name of that cellular structures processes and systems kids don't fall through the cracks and it doesn't matter how you have your building that work has to happen and that's what we're working on a multi-tiered system to support essentially it's a lot of different Boston beans intervention it structures & Systems and make sure that we're supporting our kids and every went and a lot of schools they talk about academics now Young Thug look at it the airport maybe and that's kind of dry them what their intervention model is we do look at that it's also moving attendance and this is a big that's awesome putting social emotional mental health is really really important that we look at mental health we believe that's probably the biggest Gap in education ever so we collect data we have teared support systems for every kid in the area mental health and we parked with families and really try to work on the work and how New Jersey are emotional health in obviously the universe as well you know you want to make this? We want to make it a reach that we have some very very town of kids in this building you've done very very well by the way thank you sent us some incredibly talented kids and sometimes quite honestly we getting wet and we're working hard to give them ownership in their learned give new opportunities  okay so one thing that we worked at on really hard this building is this idea access to high river courses and that includes college credit plus sure many of you for that also includes AP and honors classes we don't use the other terminology anymore that's not a baby kid that's not an honor skit what does that mean try to buy skids and we try to work with families to make sure they're set up at the perfect just right schedule and classes they can be successful but this shift in a p horses in particular resembles that helicopter taking off it's unbelievable all the way back in 2011 and 2014 AP classes total last year we had 179 and 350 dish total as a big ship that has that happens it's really important going on your capacity in the building to support kids we worked at that I think we have a long way to go honestly but I got to tell you that 98.9 kids in those classes ever see the Seer and those AP classes Let It Go also and see it more times than not it's really exciting  academic Signing Day is something that we started into I'm 13 and you can see I'm looking and predators are a wonderful College of your house or Jane shots can you wait out of minutes you rather have heard of Microsoft lot of Christmas she's wonderful but one of the things that we are on for years ago I need an exciting day in Florida today to celebrate academic Excellence scholarship has raised in their first year .7 million in total scholarship offers last year's over 11 million our kids are doing great they really really doing great things works out of that word text Sean Henkel on his right up front and he's one of our new staff members Sean can you stand up and wave he's going to talk to me just a second I'm going to talk to you little bit about attendance will still have a few more people Caleb Evans and some physical sense science Chemistry hours is part-time Spanish and correlations or time French some of them one of the things that I want to have mr. tickle talk about is the new state law with regards to tenants and he's going to do that right now Cimarron closet Harbor City  I do enjoy this new job Granny song on thank you all for being so welcoming as fat has been fantastic although as assistant principal it's kind of Doom and Gloom guy you to talk about negative things Somali join that aspect of as much but sweating and all the data  what the kids are being able to do here in Grandview and compare that to the hours that they spend in the class quite honestly this law really is not intended for district such as ours it's intended for others is really is but unfortunately we have to abide by them as well this is the could literally be a three-day class and we still wouldn't get it all in so I'll go real quickly here basically what there's two categories excessive absences and this would include tardies everything is reported now by the hour it's no longer how many ages of absences by by hour so if someone shows up tardy 30 minutes to school will guess what that's an hour of absence now Sunday Nest that is now six hours of apps  you have 38 hours a month we now need to place you intervention plan if I know and if you miss 65 hours in a year so now where you going you're less fewer than 11 days  four year you're on an absence intervention plan habitual truancy they call the 32nd of hours of an excuse I'm sorry excessive that would be this is a good one too it is what include unexcused absences but also so that's something very new the next category B habitual truancy which only includes unexcused three consecutive hours 42 hours per month for 72 hours in a school year again that would then be a print involvement on the absence intervention team  then fall on absence intervention plan absence intervention plan does there are the things we have to do it so it's getting interesting yeah and it's not our idea so please don't blame us for just wishing for them actually have to follow the law like everyone else but those are some of the new things  okay that was I'm sorry the Maine Greenhouse translate for okay things are going to see mr.
