  JICHS Leadership Team Report

      14 June 2021

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LEADERSHIP TEAM: 

• Student Experience Survey

PERFORMING ARTS:

• PA Monthly Presentation

SOCIAL STUDIES:

• Please see the slides for SS June updates! :) We’ve added the TOK Exhibition below because it would not fit correctly on the slides. (Thanks to the Art dept for the idea on the slides!)
• IB TOK Exhibition: This serves as the internal assessment for Theory of Knowledge, a requirement for the diploma. Students selected three objects and evaluated how those objects demonstrate how theory of knowledge manifests itself in the world around us.  All of the IB TOK exhibitions will be on display in the library Fall of 2021, but Mr. Webster would like to offer the BOD a preview below.

SCIENCE

• (Evans) Marine science students went on a field trip to DNR to participate in a fun-filled day on the Education Vessel Discovery, in the classroom dissecting oyster bags and analyzing oyster bed health information from 4 sites along the SC Coast.

• (Lyles) Biology 2 students completed a series of one-pagers about human body systems.  They included drawings, new terminology, and information about the effects of radium of the systems. The radium information was a way to wrap-up and connect ‘The Radium Girls’ to our final unit.

Project 1    Project 2     Project 3     Project 4

• (Epps) Our Integrated Science students have finished reading Nyxia and were excited to talk with the author, Scott Reintgen, when he joined our Zoom classroom (courtesy of Dr. Ball and the JICHS library). Every student had the chance to ask whatever questions they had for Mr. Reintgen; some asked about being an author while others asked about his other books. A few students had some grievances to air about the fate of some of his characters! After being struck with some inspiration, one student assembled a diorama of a scene from Nyxia and he got to show it off to the author himself.

• (Reeves, Epps) Earth Science had DNR come to us to work through a few oyster bag dissections. The students found and identified several different species of bivalves, crabs, and other organisms while sifting through the plough mud right in our own backyard.

CTE:

• Eight of Mr. Nisoff’s Networking/Computer Service students received their industry certification in TestOut PC Pro and TestOut Network Pro last week!
• Ms Foye’s Culinary Team took second place in the SC Dept of Education 2nd Annual Farm-to-School Junior Chef Competition!

Academics/School Update of Events

Student Vaccinations

June 3rd was our second vaccination day. Everything went as expected. 

HR and Payroll Update

Prestige, Lynn, and I continue to work with CCSD on the payroll transition. The PEBA accounts for retirement and benefits are set up and ready for July 1, 2021. Lynn and I are working with supplement insurance and retirement vendors to create new accounts for JICHS. At this time, we appear to be on schedule for a smooth transition.   

Email Accounts- .C@charleston.k12.sc.us

I recently met with Matt Gilbert and spoke to Mr. Nawrocki, the Executive Director of Technology for CCSD, on the phone about our email accounts and Google Drive. CCSD has a plan in place to transfer our email and Google Drive accounts to our new .C accounts. The CCSD Tech Department will work with Matt, Dana, and Chris on the transfer. I did receive clarification that the email address issue is with Munis, not the state department. If we are not getting paid by CCSD, Munis will deactivate the account so we cannot keep our current email account. FYI- the .C account is used for contractors not employed by CCSD. Munis recognizes C. accounts as nonemployees so it will not deactivate the account. The .C account cannot be created or activated while we are getting paid from CCSD because Munis will recognize that and deactivate the .C account when it updates. 

The email change is not popular with our staff right now. However, I do want to share that CCSD is allowing us to remain on their network, which is a tremendous help. If we had to get our own internet pipeline and firewalls it would be extremely costly at this time and take months to implement.

EIR Grant

We have two teachers and two students that will be attending the Design Camp this summer.      

Design Camp-Teachers and students will meet to listen deeply to each other’s experiences.

            1. Dates: June 24 and 25, July 28th and July 29th, Oct 22nd

The facilitation team will focus on creating conditions for story-sharing in a safe and confidential manner for both student and teacher. We will conduct EMPATHY INTERVIEWS.

Graduation

Graduation is June 18, 2021, at 9:00 am in the Backyard. CCSD reduced social distancing from 6 ft to 3ft. With this new guideline, we are able to create one six-person section for each graduate (6 attendees per graduate).
