BYRON-BERGEN CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT	• FALL 2019 FOCAL POINT

Superintendent’s Message

Welcome back to another great year at Byron-Bergen Central School District! This year we are expanding our important work to include a multi-year Social Emotional Learning (SEL) initiative.

With the help of Whole Child Connection, a University of Rochester afiliate, we will improve social and emotional competencies in our student body. Our goal is to make sure we are teaching our students to do more than just get good grades. We are preparing them for life outside of school and that includes the ability to manage their emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

SEL has proven to have many positive outcomes including greater success later in life, lower rates of risky behavior, and higher academic achievement. Additionally, engaging in SEL has proven to increase the job satisfaction of those who work with children. This initiative has the potential to make our District an even better place to learn and work and I look forward to seeing how SEL is making a positive impact on our students.

It’s going to be a great year.

Best regards,

Byron-Bergen Central School

MISSION	District’s MISSIONis to inspire, prepare, and support using the

VALUES of compassion, humility,

NEWS from the Board

The campus underwent some dramatic changes over the summer as the Capital Project continues to move forward. Many aspects of this project are complete. The auditorium, tennis courts, driveways, parking lots, and roofs all look wonderful – to name a few. Many are still in progress including extensive work at the Elementary building, as many were able to see
at our Open House. I am excited to see the progress continue over the next year and look forward to the completion date of August 2020.

You may have seen news that one of our neighboring districts recently had a creditable threat to their school. We all hope that a tragic event will not happen in our community but the Board of Education chose to be proactive with District safety measures. Safety is our first priority and we are doing all that
we can to minimize any possible threat

m!
Happy fall, everyone!

I am proud of our bus safety standards at Byron-Bergen. Our transportation staff is dedicated to door-to-door student safety, but we need the help of our community members.

You may have heard the news that there has been a state-wide increase in the number of drivers passing stopped school buses with flashing red lights. Not only is this against the law, but it is extremely dangerous for our students’ safety.

When you are on the road, please keep in mind that a bus with yellow flashing lights is coming to a stop and trafic should slow down. When the red lights are on and the stop sign is out, the bus is stopped to load or unload students. It is never safe to pass a bus with flashing red lights. I thank everyone for using safe driving practices around our school buses and ask that community members remind any new teenage drivers about these laws.

For more information, please feel free to contact me at 585-494-1220 ext. 5112.

Best wishes,

Sonya Durkee

Byron-Bergen buckles up, every trip, every time

Byron-Bergen students up through sixth grade are now being reminded by their bus driver to buckle up. Every trip. Every time. This new bus safety initiative comes as New York State legislators work to mandate seat belt use for all students.

“The bottom line is that we want our students to be as safe as possible,” said Elementary School Principal
Brian Meister. “We consulted with area districts currently requiring seat belt use and their results have been overwhelmingly positive.”

The Transportation Department was provided seat belt training during annual school bus safety training at the beginning of the school year. Seat belt signs are on display on every school bus and parents and guardians of Elementary School students have been asked to talk to their children about the importance of seat belts.

“Many of our students understand the connection between seat belts in cars and seat belts on buses,” said Elementary School Assistant Principal Betsy Brown. “During our Bus Safety meetings in September, one first grade student shared with his classmates, ‘I wear my seat belt in my
mom’s car every time, so I should wear it on the bus too!’”

Welcome Rebecca Manfreda

The District is proud to appoint Rebecca Manfreda as the first Director of Instructional Services. This newly created position is responsible for collaborating with faculty, staff, and administrators to improve the quality of student education by overseeing curriculum
development, implementation, and alignment with New York State standards.

“On a typical day, I may be found observing teachers’ instruction, analyzing test data, assessing education
standards, recommending instructional techniques, arranging professional development workshops, developing assessments, and responding to teachers’ and administrators’ questions on various topics,” said Manfreda. “I also attend the Board of Education meetings to keep them informed of the work that is being done within the District.”

A Brockport native, Manfreda earned her Bachelor’s of Science in Mathematics and Education from SUNY Brockport, a Master’s of Science in Education in Reading from the American Military University and a Certificate of Advanced Study in Educational Administration from SUNY Brockport.

Ms. Holler earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from Mississippi State University. Prior to joining the Byron-Bergen team, she provided services
to people with physical, mental, or substance abuse disorders as a Health Home Care Manager in Rochester.

“As a counselor, I will advocate for and support students on a daily basis at school,” said Ms. Holler. “I am always available to talk with students regarding any matters for which they would like support or guidance.”

Ms. Holler was born in Buffalo and grew up in rural Mississippi. Although she
will miss the hot weather and southern cuisine, she is excited to be back near her original hometown and extended family. Outside of school, Ms. Holler enjoys cooking Thai food and spending time with her family, friends, her dog, Stew, and her cat, Tom.

Elementary School NEWS By Brian Meister, Principal

Byron-Bergen Elementary School welcomed back students in grades UPK-6 with many exciting changes to the school. The building continues to be under construction; however, several classrooms were near completion and able to be used. These new classrooms are larger and are equipped with new projection systems allowing for better access to interactive learning. Students are very excited to learn in these bigger, brighter spaces. Our cafeteria and kitchen is fully up and running with two new service lines and new more eficient equipment. The new pavement portion of the project minimizes trafic in the front of the building where students arrive and dismiss while providing added parking for parents and teachers. Several areas of the building remain under construction. To accommodate the reduction in space our faculty and staff have done an excellent job making the boring hallway partition walls look like exciting murals and making glossy tile-less floors feel like students desks are ships in the ocean. We are anticipating work to continue through the year and through the upcoming summer. We are all very excited to see the beautiful final outcome. Please visit our District website for updates and information about the project.

Jr./Sr. High School UPDATE By Patrick McGee

The 2019-2020 school year is underway and we are off to a great start. Students are settling in nicely to school and classroom routines and we look forward to helping each student work towards peak performance. Our school pride
has been on full display through academics, extra-curricular, and sports. It is our goal to make sure that students feel connected to our school learning community.

We continue to support strong communication between home and school - it is essential for students to reach their highest potential. We have a strong social media presence highlighting accomplishments of our learning community and important calendar dates through our website www.bbschools.org, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Please follow
@BBCSDBuzz for all of the latest updates via Twitter and

Instagram. Parents can also utilize our SchoolTool system to monitor their child’s attendance, grades, and assignments. If anyone has any questions regarding using SchoolTool, please contact Jessica O’Neil at (585)494-1220 ext. 2004.

Good luck to all of our student athletes as they head into Sectional play. Once again each of our sports teams continue to thrive in the classroom and through athletics. Many of our teams this fall have wrapped up Genesee Region League titles and will compete for Sectional titles in the coming weeks.
I continue to be so proud of our kids’ dedication and effort.

We are committed to academic excellence while fostering a culture of respect, responsibility, and positive relationships. Please feel free to contact me anytime throughout the year via telephone phone at (585) 494-1220 ext. 2401, email at pmcgee@bbschools.org, or stop in to see me. I am confident

of Excellence Award winners. The purpose of the awards are to unite varsity coaches in challenging their teams to achieve a statewide honor. To earn the School of Excellence Award, 75% of a school’s varsity teams must qualify and receive the Scholar-Athlete team award.

“I’m so proud of our athletes,” said Byron-Bergen Jr./Sr. High School Athletic Director Rich Hannan. “These students are applying the discipline learned on the field of play to their academics and results are incredible.
Congratulations to all our student

College and Career Counselor honored with national award

On Saturday, September 28, 2019, Byron-Bergen College and Career Counselor Rob Kaercher accepted the Rising Star Award from the National Association for College Admissions Counselors at their annual conference in Louisville, Kentucky. This national award “honors individuals and programs that exemplify excellence and dedication
to serving the needs of students in the transition from high school to college.”

Kaercher’s position has many aspects from exposing students to a variety
of job experiences to helping them complete their college applications. “I try to help them find a career path that matches their interests,” said Kaercher. “I have college and career assessment tools to help with this, but talking to the individual students, reflecting on what brings their interests and what they enjoy in their classes, is the best way. Each student is different. It’s all about personalized attention.”

When asked why Byron-Bergen stood out in the nation-wide competition, Kaercher replied, “It’s visionary for a small, rural school to have a College and Career Counselor. This position is much more prevalent at private schools, prep schools, and in large, urban districts that
have created a college going culture.

Byron-Bergen is somewhat unique in that my colleagues in the Counseling Department can focus on the social and emotional development of our students and I can focus on helping with the transition out of high school. I hope that we continue to see more rural schools, and schools in general, see the importance of developing a College and Career Center to enhance the school counseling department.”

I couldn’t do my job without the

flexibility and enthusiasm of our

amazing faculty and staff.

- Robert Kaercher

Another difference between

Byron-Bergen and larger districts is the variety of career paths students are interested in. “This award highlights the transition of students from high school to college, but every year I help
students transition to four-year colleges, two-year colleges, military careers, and many students enter directly into the
work force. Each of these students are

valuable and I hope that I can help them leave high school ready to fulfill their goals.”

“We are extremely lucky to have Rob on our team,” said Byron-Bergen High School Principal Pat McGee. “It’s not enough just to have a College and Career Center. It needs to be in the hands of a dedicated professional counselor with the knowledge, connections, and passion for helping students map out their futures. This is a well-deserved honor.”

“I couldn’t do my job without the flexibility and enthusiasm of our amazing faculty and staff,” said Kaercher. “They meet with students, join field trips,
write letters of recommendation – their support allows me to connect the dots.”

In addition to the national award, Kaercher received the Rising Star Award from the New York State Association
for College Admission Counseling in August.

“I think this is one of the best jobs in the world because I really enjoy working with the students, staff, and faculty,” said Kaercher. “These students have dreams and goals. They are curious and want to explore. That really keeps my job fun and
interesting.”

The District transitions to a new School Resource Officer

After five years with Byron-Bergen Central Schools and 22 years with the Genesee County Sheriff’s Department, Deputy Matt Butler is retiring. As the District’s first School Resource Oficer, Butler focused on building relationships with students of all ages.

“I wanted to be an SRO because, as a Sheriff Deputy, I rarely had positive interactions with young people or families,” said Butler. “I wanted a change, to make a positive impact on
kids. I can’t remember a time in my 17 years in the Sheriff’s Department that I high-fived a kid. Here, it’s every day. It’s really rewarding. I’m going to miss
the kids – the young ones and the older ones. Just talking to them. Safety is obviously my first priority, but a huge part of this job is building relationships with the students. I’ll miss that.”

In retirement, Butler and his family are relocating to South Carolina where he will spend a lot of time being a dad
and playing golf. Butler will continue

to work in the District until the winter holiday break. During that time, he will help the District transition to the new SRO, Deputy Rich Schildwaster. As
a Byron-Bergen alumnus, Schildwaster is looking forward to his return to the school District. He is eager to continue building the relationship that has been established within the community through the SRO Program.

Schildwaster has been with the Genesee County Sheriff Ofice since 2015. He is a DRE (Drug Recognition Expert), a member, of the Crash Management Team and a CRASE Instructor (Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events). Schildwaster is
a United States Navy Veteran. While enlisted, he held the positions of Mechanic, Military Police, and Recruiter; wherein he was stationed in Virginia Beach, Virginia and Sicily, Italy. Deputy Schildwaster attended Genesee Community College for studies in
Criminal Justice.
