The Annual Elementary School Turkey Trot
The Turkey Trot looked a little different this year, but on November 5th and	school day. The approximately three quarter mile course twists through the 6th, Bees in UPK through grade 5 enjoyed the sunny weather to take part in	woods and ends with a sprint across the open grass to the finish line. This this tradition. Instead of an all-school run, classes ran during their gym period	year’s trot included many best times, smiles, cheering, and teamwork. Great to allow for social distancing and to complete the event during the regular	job, Bees!

Superintendent’s Message Dear Students, Families, and Community members,

News from the Board

This fall, we embarked on a school year like no other. It took months of planning and many long days with my team of exceptional administrators and educators, but on September 14th, our doors reopened to welcome students back to school.

Since that day, we have listened to feedback from students, families, and staff to continually improve our educational experiences. I have to say, it’s starting to feel like school again. Our students and staff have been champions in adopting the “new normal.”

Our system isn’t perfect, but we are basing decisions on current best practices to keep our community as safe as possible. I hope that the measures we have implemented will continue to protect the health of our community...but, we can’t do it alone.

As winter brings with it cold and flu season, I would like to remind everyone that taking safety precautions outside of school is just as important as during the school day. Please continue to wear masks, practice social distancing, and wash your hands. Daily health checks are required for all students and staff as a key preventative measure to stop the spread of germs. Staying home when you feel ill will help protect your friends and neighbors and I encourage you to please take these guidelines to heart.

The District’s ability to stay open is in your hands. So wash them.

On behalf of the Board of Education we would like to express our appreciation to our families. We understand that everything going on with life and school learning can be daunting and stressful. Our families continue to do a wonderful job of keeping kids engaged in learning.

We are extremely happy that Byron-Bergen has been able to bring students in grades pre-K through 5 back to school every day while following the
CDC recommendations and guidelines. We would have liked to have been able to do this for ALL of our students, but due to the recommendations and guidelines we were not able to do so. The Board is encouraged that we’ve only had two COVID incidents within our District and look forward to being able to welcome everyone back to school as soon as it’s possible. The Board was also happy that some of our sports teams have had the ability
to compete. We are looking to the day when ALL of our students can follow their passions.

Best wishes,

Mickey Edwards
Byron-Bergen Central School District Superintendent

Transportation Update By: Jaime Vindigni, Transportation Coordinator

Our top priority here in the Transportation Department is the safety and

well-being of your children. The COVID-19 pandemic has not changed that for our drivers, aides, and mechanics. They have been workingdiligentlytokeep our safety standards as high as before.

• After every run, they clean the high touch areas.

• At the end of every shift, they clean and disinfect all seats, windows, and railings.

• Drivers and aides wear face coverings at all times. In addition, aides also wear gloves.

• Each child has been given an assigned seat to insure they are social distancing and to know who each child sits by for tracking purposes.

• Bus windows have been cracked open to help with air ventilation.

• Mechanics clean and disinfect any area of the bus they come into contact with when doing maintenance on them.

• The mechanics are changing the cabin heater filters more often.

You as parents can also help us with our safety standards. You can also reinforce some of these changes with your children.

• Please make sure your child has a mask when getting on the bus. They must wear them at all times.

• Students cannot share items.

• Pick-up and drop-off locations of students must be at one location for all five days.

With all these changes this school year, a few things still remain the same. Students can still say “hi” and “bye” to their drivers. They can still talk with their seat neighbors on the bus.

Our drivers care, love what they do, and will get your children to and from school safely.

Seniors On October 28th,
the Class of 2021 braved the wet weather to show their school spirit. After a class picture from
the roof of the High School, the seniors enjoyed lunch, games, and a well-earned break from studying to spend time together as the Class of 2021.

Elementary School By: Brian Meister, Principal

News

Let me begin by thanking all of our parents, staff, and community for their support and encouragement over these past several months. I am pleased to share that we have had a successful reopening of school and our students have settled in well with positive habits both new and old. Despite the restrictions, our students can be heard throughout the school spreading laughter and joy. I have the very special privilege of greeting them all each morning as they enter the building and am so proud of the wonderful character they display with happy greetings and waves.

As you may know, we have unfortunately had to reduce or eliminate non-essential visitors to our school. This has regrettably meant the loss of some of our special opportunities such as birthday lunches with parents and perhaps most notably our annual Open House Celebration. While the loss of some of these cherished events has
been disappointing, we have made the most of our opportunities by engaging families in virtual meetings and conferences through Google Meet and most recently celebrated the fall with a very well attended drive through Trunk or Treat Parade. Many thanks to our parent teacher organization STEP Boosters for planning and putting on this amazing event.

Since we are unable to have visitors in our school, let me share with you little of what you might see if you visited our school. Each morning, as our students unload from the school buses they are greeted by adults up and down the bus loop and in the hallways. While many of us worried about how the students would handle wearing masks and maintaining physical distancing,
I am pleased to share that they are

doing wonderfully. Our teachers have built in routines throughout the day that allow for masks to be removed and are quick and kind to support a student who may not feel comfortable. In classrooms you will see students sitting physically distanced but still talking and socializing with one another. We truly know the importance of social interactions and continue to find new and creative ways for students to collaborate and socialize while maintaining safe personal space.

Beyond the topic of COVID and reopening plans, our school continues to provide unique and innovative ways to make learning interesting and fun. For example, our 5th grade team has found a safe way to once again hold the Annual Alien Museum. This very popular hands-on experience

allows students to learn about planets and the solar system while developing research, writing, and presentation skills. Each 5th grader presented his/her “alien” in the form of a written report and presented it to classes throughout the building using Google Meet.

As we prepare for the upcoming winter months, we will continue to stay focused on both the students’ physical and emotional health while providing a meaningful and engaging learning experience.

I would like to thank our community, parents, and friends for their continued support of our
school. If you have any questions, please contact me at (585) 494-1220 or by email at bmeister@bbschools.org.

Update

Jr./Sr. High School By: Patrick McGee, Principal

I would like to thank all of our teachers, families, and students for as smooth a start to the school year as we could have asked for under these unprecedented circumstances. It is absolutely wonderful to just be back connecting with our kids. While not ideal or what we ideally want, I am thankful for everyone making the best of this situation. I especially want to thank our students, staff, and families for their patience and flexibility as we continue to navigate through the
complexities of this school year.	 BYRON-BERGEN CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT As we move forward with our Reopening Plan, it is important to discuss the difference between

the remote learning expectations in the spring of 2020 (Crisis Response) and the Remote and Hybrid Online Learning expectations for the fall of 2020.

I want to stress to everyone the difference in how school looked during the closure in March through the time school ended in June versus how we started school in September. Our priority with staff, families, and most importantly our students last year when the crisis hit was to do the best we can to get through the year without adding any extra stress or anxiety to our teachers, our students, and our families. I have attached a graphic (Crisis Response vs. Remote/Hybrid Online Learning) that outlines the difference between school closure from March to June and school beginning in September. While this is not an ideal system, the reality is that we have to bridge the gap and get all of our students back on track whether they are in school or learning remotely.

We continue to support strong communication between home and school - it is essential for students to reach their highest potential. This fall we have added an app called ParentSquare. ParentSquare is a multi-purpose platform to facilitate communication, collaboration and increase family engagement in schools. If you have not registered for the app or need more information, please call the main office. We also have a strong social media presence highlighting accomplishments of our learning community and important calendar dates through 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 Leora Brown at (585)494-1220 ext. 3116.

We are committed to building relationships, connecting with our students, and promoting character and academic success while fostering a culture of respect, responsibility, and positive relationships. Please feel
free to contact me anytime throughout the year via the phone at (585) 494-1220 ext. 2401 or via email at pmcgee@bbschools.org. I am confident that by partnering together we can ensure the success of each student. We are Byron-Bergen!
