Message from the Superintendent – School Safety & Se...

September 5, 2024 Dear Shrewsbury Families, Colleagues, & Community Members, Like you, I am deeply saddened and angered by the news of yet another school mass shooting that took the lives of innocent children and educators, this time at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia.  Our hearts go out to the Winder community as they mourn the deaths of their classmates and teachers.   I ask that you read the rest of this message as updated information about our approach to school safety and security.   Please remember that the most important things we can do to keep our schools safe are 1) to ensure that all of our students have a connection to and sense of  belonging in  their school communities,  with support for their social, emotional, and mental well-being; and 2) to report anything that concerns you about someone who is acting or communicating in ways that could be threatening  or otherwise seems "off."  Please see below for specific ways to share concerns with your school or with the Shrewsbury Police. You can always access school counselors and psychologists on your school’s website by clicking on “mental health and wellness resources,” or call the school and you will be directed to someone who can help. Please remember: These incidents are disturbing to all of us, and it is easy to personalize them.   It is natural to feel a range of emotions when we see the news of tragedies where people, including young people and school staff, are senselessly murdered, and it is normal to have thoughts of “What if?” regarding our own community.  While this is scary to think about for all of us, as adults we need to do our best to be calm and reassuring with our children, rather than transmitting fear and anxiety. Social media can amplify fear.   Many students have viewed the news of this latest mass murder through a variety of online platforms.   I strongly encourage parents and caregivers to be aware of your child’s media exposure regarding this incident and to speak to your children about it.   Children process violent events in different ways and can be affected by them even when they occur elsewhere.   Please click  here  for resources regarding how to talk with your children about violence and mass shootings.  The Shrewsbury Public Schools, Shrewsbury Police Department, and Shrewsbury Fire Department have been working together for many years in an effort to make our schools safe.  We, along with our community partners, are constantly reviewing our safety plans and procedures, conducting drills, and making improvements in an ongoing manner.  We continue to seek out and implement best practices – last year, a consulting firm with expertise in school safety and security visited all of our schools to conduct an audit of our approach, and provided a report.  You can view a summary of their findings  here . Our staff and students prepare for possible emergencies.   In addition to traditional fire drills, our students and staff participate in lockdown, lockout, and shelter in place drills that could apply to intruder or active shooter incidents, as well as other scenarios such as a tornado threat.  We utilize the  Standard Response Protocol  as a framework for our approach to emergency response.   The most important school safety work we do is creating caring, respectful school environments where students are supported and feel comfortable reaching out to adults.  We know that the potential for school and community violence is minimized when students feel connected to their school community, when they have access to support for their emotional well-being, and when students who perceive something is not right with a situation tell a trusted adult.  We actively work to create these kinds of school cultures.   If you see something, say something.   Please see the information below regarding how to contact our school district or the Shrewsbury Police Department if you believe something is not right and might pose a threat to our community.   You can send an anonymous tip to the school district using our  School Safety Tip online form .   This tip form is linked at the very top of every web page on our  website . You can make a non-emergency call to the Shrewsbury Police Department at 508-841-8577. Text a tip to the Shrewsbury Police Department at 410-847-7837.  You can use the QR code below as well.  Thanks for taking the time to read this.  Please do reach out to your child’s school if you feel they need assistance. Respectfully, Joe Sawyer Superintendent of Schools

Information re: Monday's Solar Eclipse

April 4, 2024 Dear Shrewsbury Families, I’m sure you have seen many news reports about the upcoming partial solar eclipse that will occur on Monday, April 8.   I am asking that you speak to your child(ren) (no matter how old they are!) about the fact that during a partial eclipse it is  not safe at any time  to look directly at the sun without special eclipse glasses , even when it is mostly darkened at the peak of the eclipse.   It is very important to note that permanent eye damage can result from looking directly at the sun during a partial eclipse.  The  American Academy of Ophthalmology warns  that  “looking at the sun without the right eye protection – even for a short time – can damage your retina permanently.  It can even cause blindness, called solar retinopathy.”   I ask that parents and caregivers talk with your children to remind them not to look at the partial eclipse unless they are wearing special eclipse glasses or a viewer that meets the ISO 12312-2 standard.   Eclipse glasses or viewers should be inspected to ensure that they   are not torn, scratched, or damaged .   Important: Sunglasses, smoked glass, unfiltered telescopes or camera lenses, and polarizing filters are all  unsafe  for viewing this partial eclipse – one must use eclipse glasses/viewer.  Please see the bottom of this message for links to expert information on safe eclipse viewing. You can click  here  for a simulation of what it will look like in Shrewsbury, where the eclipse will begin around 2:15pm, move toward 93% coverage at the peak at 3:28pm, and then will continue until ending just after 4:30pm.  As most of the eclipse will take place during and after preschool, high school, and middle school dismissal times, there are not school-wide viewings taking place at those levels – however, these students will be reminded about the eclipse and eye safety this week and again on Monday, and I ask that you reinforce this message at home. Our elementary schools are providing the option for students to view the eclipse prior to the end of the school day using proper eclipse glasses provided by the school; the principals will send out more specific information to their school communities about this.  Each elementary school will be teaching students about safe viewing this week and on Monday as part of this process and reminding students again at dismissal. Thank you for your assistance in reviewing and reinforcing with your child – no matter how old they are – the importance of not looking directly at the sun during the partial eclipse without eclipse glasses, so that this incredible astronomical phenomenon can be experienced safely.    Respectfully, Joe Sawyer Superintendent of Schools Solar Eclipse Safety Links:   NASA Multilingual Safety Infographics American Academy of Pediatrics – Watching Safely with Children American Academy of Ophthalmology – Solar Eclipse Eye Safety Prevent Blindness: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Eyes During Solar Eclipses Solar Eclipse Children’s Education Links: NASA Eclipse Information Page NASA Science: What is a Solar Eclipse?

Superintendent's Update – March 29, 2024

March 29, 2024 Dear Shrewsbury Families, Colleagues, & Community Members, I would like to provide you with a couple of brief updates and an important  message  regarding our expectations for respectful cultures in our schools. First, I want to call your attention to the work of the Preschool-Grade 4 Capital Planning Study Committee .  This committee consisted of parents, educators, and leaders from Parker Road Preschool and all five of our elementary schools, along with members of the School Committee, Select Board, municipal administration, and School Department administration.  The study committee met several times since September to examine our community's potential future needs for school buildings in grades PreK-4.   The final report of the study committee can be found here . The study committee's consultant from the Collins Center at UMass Boston presented the findings of the study committee at this past Wednesday's School Committee meeting -- you can view the presentation here and the presentation slides here .  I appreciate the work that the study committee did to lay a foundation for addressing PreK-4 capital needs years in the future by identifying variables, making recommendations, and suggesting potential solutions. Second, I want to provide you with an update regarding the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget process.  This past Saturday, the School Committee and district administration participated in the annual Saturday hearing of the town Finance Committee.  You can view the hearing here and find the presentation slides here .  We are fortunate that, unlike many Massachusetts public school districts that are facing cuts in personnel and programming in the coming year, our finances are stable thanks to the investment our community made in passing the operational override in 2021, for which I remain deeply grateful.  We will not require any cuts, and will be able to make some targeted investments for key requirements in special education, student mental and behavioral health, English language education, literacy, career technical education, and cybersecurity.   The School Committee will vote in April on a recommended School Department budget to be presented for approval at the Annual Town Meeting in May.   Finally, I want to again call your attention to my ongoing concerns regarding both students with significant mental health challenges and students whose behaviors are disrespectful or inappropriate.   I ask that you take the time to read my message below, which will be published in the next edition of the Shrewsbury School Journal that will be delivered to all Shrewsbury residences in the coming days.  I am appreciative of the difficult work our staff is doing to address complex mental health concerns among a small number of students whose behaviors are highly impactful; separately, I am grateful for the work staff are doing to hold students accountable when their behavior violates our core values or disrupts the learning environment.  I am also asking for our families' continued support, as your own expectations for your children and your support of the school's expectations – especially when students make poor decisions and don't meet those expectations – are key to maintaining positive, respectful school cultures in the face of the  challenges of today's society.  As I note below, the vast majority of our families provide that support, for which I am grateful; in the small number of cases where parents do not support the school's efforts to hold students accountable, we will continue to take a respectful but firm stance in order to maintain a safe, supportive, and purposeful environment for student learning. Thank you for your ongoing efforts to support our schools, and best wishes to all who recently celebrated Holi and to all who will be celebrating Easter this  weekend.       Respectfully, Joe Sawyer Superintendent of Schools High expectations for respectful school cultu res As winter comes to an end and we are beginning to see signs that spring is on the way, it is exciting to see our students blooming in many different ways.  As we finish the second semester and head into the last third of the school year, there are many accomplishments of which our community can be proud.  These include: in performing arts, another superb high school musical along with music ensembles and individuals earning regional and state honors; incredible student artwork created and displayed locally and online; several team and individual honors in academic competitions; various successes in the athletic arena; and, at the core of our educational mission, a variety of measures that show promising overall growth in our students’ academic progress.   I’m pleased that the vast majority of our students are doing well and developing their academic skills and character as we would hope.  However, as I’ve reported to the community previously, at the same time we continue to experience significant challenges where too many students are struggling with complex mental health issues, and too many others are displaying behaviors that are disrespectful or inappropriate both in and outside of school.  This is not unique to Shrewsbury, as communities across the state and nation are seeing similar struggles among our youth.  While we are fortunate that this phenomenon is more limited in scope here in Shrewsbury than in many other locales, these behaviors – which we see across all of our grade spans and among all types of student demographic groups – are affecting the climate of our schools in negative ways.  We must respond skillfully as a school system to counteract these effects and maintain the positive, respectful cultures that have been the hallmarks of our schools for decades. There are many strategic efforts underway to address students’ mental health and well-being and to support their social and emotional development.  I also want you to know that our schools are working hard to ensure that our high expectations for students’ behavior are clear, and that students are held accountable when they do not meet those expectations.  I recently spoke with our educators and leaders, and I shared with them that in my almost 34 years in education (27 here in Shrewsbury), it is clear to me that their work has never been more challenging or complex.  We must continue to use the expertise of our clinical staff to skillfully work with students whose behaviors are related to mental health challenges, and at the same time ensure that our teachers, paraeducators, and administrators are supported in addressing student behaviors that disrupt the classroom and school environment.  I expect that parents will work collaboratively with their school when their child requires redirection or consequences for poor behavior – and the vast majority of them do, which I appreciate.  In cases where parents are not supportive of holding their child accountable, I expect our educators and school leaders will take a respectfully firm stance, as the success of all of our students depends on maintaining a safe, supportive, and purposeful climate for learning.    We have rightfully taken pride in our strong school cultures in Shrewsbury.  Despite the challenges of today’s society, I am optimistic that our school communities will succeed in helping our students meet the high expectations we hold for them.  By guiding our students, empowering our staff, and partnering with our families, I am confident that our schools will continue to provide learning environments where our students can thrive.

Message to Families from the Superintendent – Nov 21...

November 21, 2023 Dear Shrewsbury Families, As we head into the Thanksgiving vacation, please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable break.  I know that for many of you, this will be cherished time with loved ones, while for others it may be difficult due to your personal circumstances.  Whatever your situation might be, I sincerely hope that over the next several days you are able to rest and spend time on things that bring you peace of mind. In this season of gratitude, I want to thank you for your continued support of your children's education.  I am gratified to see the many successes of our students that are possible thanks to their efforts, the hard work of our educators and support staff, and what you do to ensure a strong partnership between home and school.  While we have much to celebrate, at the same time the dynamics affecting public education in our nation, state, and our own district continue to present a variety of significant challenges.  At last week’s School Committee meeting, I suggested that in public education we are experiencing what is known as a “VUCA” environment: Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous.  You can watch my presentation here , and view the presentation slide deck here .   Experts say the way to navigate through a VUCA environment is to ensure that your organization has a strong vision and clear priorities, while demonstrating understanding of people's needs and responding with agility to new circumstances.  Our school district is working hard to do these things.     Last week, the School Committee approved our district’s  strategic goals and action steps for this school year.   I am pleased that our supportive School Committee has endorsed the priorities that you, our students, and our staff told us were the things that were most important when we went through the strategic planning process last year, with concrete actions that advance the well-being of all,  educational excellence, and optimization of our resources.  These goals and action steps also document our district's response to unanticipated challenges, such as the influx of newcomer students from other countries, including those housed at the emergency shelter that opened within our community.   Our strategic plan and goals are important to focus and document the excellent work happening in our schools — and I think we are focused on the right things.   However, the most important reasons why I believe our schools will successfully meet these challenges are the terrific people who make up our school communities – our students, our staff, and you, our families.  I am proud and grateful that we have such a strong support system for our students here in Shrewsbury, in which you play a crucial role as parents and caregivers.   Thank you  for all that you do to partner with our schools. Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating, and safe travels to those journeying out of town. Respectfully, Joe Sawyer Superintendent of Schools

Superintendent's Update – November 11, 2023

Dear Shrewsbury Families, Colleagues, & Community Members, I hope you are enjoying today's day off from school in observance of Veterans Day.  I had the pleasure to attend Oak Middle School's Veterans Day assembly on Wednesday morning, and I was both impressed and grateful to listen to Oak students interview three veterans about their experiences in the armed forces.  The insights that the veterans shared provided a window into what it is like to serve in the U.S. military, and I think gave our 950 students in the audience a greater appreciation for what our veterans do for our country.  Additionally, the Oak Middle School Band sounded terrific playing the National Anthem and a military march, and we were fortunate to have the Air Force Junior ROTC Color Guard from South High School present the colors.  To read more specifics about the veterans who participated and see photos and video, click HERE to view the Oak weekly newsletter.   To all of our veterans in the Shrewsbury community, thank you for your service to our nation. It is also important to note that many members of our community will be celebrating Diwali on Sunday.  On behalf of the school district, I wish all of our families and colleagues who will be celebrating this festival of lights a peaceful and joyous Diwali holiday! It has been a busy fall in our schools, and it has been gratifying to see students thriving in so many ways.  Congratulations to all of our student performers who participated in successful fall concerts; our student artists who have creative work displayed at our Town Hall and in an exhibition at the Shrewsbury Federal Credit Union; our speech and debate competitors who continue to earn accolades at competitions; our high school thespians who put on an outstanding performance of Murder on the Orient Express for the SHS Fall Play; and our student athletes who competed with strong efforts throughout the fall seasons at Oak and SHS -- with many teams achieving strong records and several SHS teams earning berths in the state playoffs, and with our SHS Unified Basketball team playing with the spirit that earned our district Unified Champion status from the Massachusetts Special Olympics.   We are fortunate that our students have so many opportunities to participate in these important co-curricular activities. Of course, learning in the classroom is central to our mission, and in my visits to schools  I continue to be impressed with what our students are achieving academically, thanks to the skill and dedication that our outstanding educators and support staff bring to their work.  The work of teaching and providing educational services to our students has undoubtedly become more complex since the pandemic, and I am grateful when I see the positive impact our SPS staff members make every day to advance our commitments to educational excellence and to the well-being of all.  In addition to the excellent work done each day, here are some students and staff who were recently recognized with awards: Congratulations to the following four members of the SHS Class of 2024 who were recognized for academic excellence and leadership : Krish Gupta and Marla Zacks who each received a Superintendent's Award for Academic Excellence, and Tyler Fontanez and Yana Teixeira, who each received the National School Development Council's Leadership in Learning Award.  Click HERE to watch these outstanding young people accept these honors. Three SPS faculty members have been recognized in recent months by outside organizations for their outstanding contributions to the education profession.  Congratulations to Emily Bredberg, SHS Media Specialist, for receiving the 2023 Virtual Influencer Award from the Massachusetts School Library Association, given to " school librarians who demonstrate exemplary use of digital tools for teaching, learning, communicating, advocacy, and outreach;" bravo to Michael Lapomardo, SHS Choirs Teacher, for being named as one of 25 semifinalists in the nation for the GRAMMY Music Educator Award; and last, but not least, kudos to Sarah Monica, preschool teacher for our Little Colonials program at SHS, who was recognized as one of only 10 semi-finalists for 2023 Massachusetts Teacher of the Year.  We are so fortunate to have extraordinary educators like these teaching our students! Finally, a week ago I had the honor of being at the grand opening of Maple & Main , the retail business in the center of town that is part of our Reaching Independence through Supported Employment (RISE) Program for post-high school students age 18-22.  The students did a marvelous job with the ceremony and tours of the facility, and we are thrilled that Maple & Main is now open for business.  Check out their website  HERE , and I hope you stop by to experience the excellent customer service our RISE students provide and browse some terrific Shrewsbury-themed merchandise.  (Please note they are closed today in observance of Veterans Day).  Click HERE  to read an article about the grand opening. Thank you for your continued support of our community's young people in our public schools! Respectfully, Joe Sawyer Superintendent of Schools

Supporting Our Students

October 12, 2023 Dear Shrewsbury Families & Colleagues, While we are very fortunate to live and work in a safe and stable community, all too often in recent times we receive the news of tragedies that occur around the world, including natural disasters and war. As an increasingly diverse community with families from all over the globe, some of our neighbors and colleagues have personal connections to terrible events that happen far away.  Like me, I’m sure you have been horrified by the terrorist attacks against Israel and deeply concerned about the emerging war in Gaza.  There are members of our school communities with ties to the region who have relatives or friends who are affected by the violence, and I ask families to let your school know if your child is being impacted so that we can provide support. You can always access school counselors and psychologists on our school’s website by clicking on “mental health and wellness resources,” or call the school and you will be directed to someone who can help. While younger students may not be aware of these events, some likely are, and most if not all older students will be getting information through various sources, including social media.  Our educators and counselors are skillful at helping students process concerns they may have about tragic events in the news.  There are many resources online that can help families and educators support children and young people on this topic, including  this one from the National Association of School Psychologists .   Violence and war related to national, religious, and cultural identities provoke strong emotions.  Our responsibility is to ensure that our schools are environments where all of our students are supported and feel that they belong, and where, at an age-appropriate level, they process current events and learn about difficult and controversial topics in an atmosphere free from bias and prejudice, as  our longstanding policy  makes clear.  I am confident that you, our staff and families, will model and promote our community’s core value of respect and provide any necessary guidance and support our students require in light of the evolving situation in Israel and Gaza. Respectfully, Joe Sawyer Superintendent of Schools

Superintendent's Update – September 15, 2023

September 15, 2023 Dear Shrewsbury Families, Colleagues, & Community Members, It is nice to have had more seasonable weather these past two days, and I'm glad Hurricane Lee is staying well to the east of us!  We have had a very successful start to our school year, and I am especially proud of the way our educators, support staff, and leaders have worked hard to create a welcoming environment that conveys a sense of belonging to all of our students in our school communities.   Please read on for a few informational items:  on 1) transportation; 2) our recent School Committee meeting and our homeless/migrant students; 3) a notice about the "One Chip Challenge"; and 4) a reminder about our updated homework policy and this being our first "No Homework Weekend" of the school year.  1) Transportation:  Thank you to families for your help in ensuring that students are getting to and from school safely.  The vast majority of our bus routes have been running on schedule, and like every year we are working out the kinks on a few routes running later than planned (particularly in the afternoons).  Given the significant change in school schedules this year, I am grateful to our SPS Transportation Team, especially Assistant Finance & Operations Manager April Yu and our partner AA Transportation, for their hard work.  Thank you also to families who are driving students to and from school for using the designated drop off and pick up processes in order to maintain student safety.  Finally, please be reminded that late bus service at the high school and middle schools begins on Monday, September 18 so that more students can access after school academic help and activities -- click  HERE for the schedule and to register your child. 2) The School Committee met last week for its first meeting of the year.  As always, you can watch video of the meetings  HERE and view all documents and slide presentations from the meeting  HERE .  Some items from the September 6 meeting: the Committee accepted a generous donation of $5,500 from Lexus of Northborough to help fund start-up costs for our Oak Middle School Girls and Boys Soccer teams; heard  a report on various projects we are grateful that the Public Buildings Division completed over the summer in our schools; and heard  an update on the enrollment of homeless/migrant students from the shelter within our community (as of today there are 52 spread across grades K-12 attending Beal, Floral Street, Sherwood, Oak, and SHS).  I am very proud of the efforts our staff have made since May to support our newest students' needs, and the way our community as a whole has responded to this difficult situation.  I will provide another update at the next School Committee meeting on September 27. 3) Notice to families re: the "One Chip Challenge":   You have likely seen the very sad news that a 14-year-old student in our neighboring community of Worcester recently died, and while the cause is yet to be determined there is concern that it could be related to his having become severely ill after eating an extremely hot chip as part of the so-called "One Chip Challenge."  This past week, some middle school students in Holliston became very ill from doing the same.  Parents and caregivers may want to click  HERE to review the information on poison.org about the "One Chip Challenge" and advise your children to avoid them (and not bring them to school).  While these chips have been removed from store sale, they may be available via mail order.  Our sympathies go out to the family and friends of the deceased student and the Worcester Public Schools community. 4) Updated homework policy and "No Homework Weekend" : Please be reminded that this year there is an updated homework policy in effect, and that this weekend is our first "No Homework Weekend," which applies to all students in all grades.   No homework will be due and no assessments requiring studying over the weekend will be given on Monday, September 18.  Please click HERE for a list of the no homework dates for this school year and HERE for a calendar view (both are Google Docs that can be translated).  There are 15 school days out of our 180 school days when no homework will be due  (8%); this approach helps us meet the policy's statement that "It is a shared responsibility between home and school to ensure that students have balance in their lives while pursuing educational excellence." Many of the "no homework" dates correspond with major religious holidays where many students would be exempt from homework, and this includes the Jewish high holidays of Rosh Hashanah this weekend and Yom Kippur next weekend.   On behalf of our school district, shanah tovah to all who are celebrating the Jewish New Year of Rosh Hashanah starting at sunset this evening. Thank you for your continued support of our schools as we strive to provide our students with an education characterized by academic excellence and the well-being of all. Respectfully, Joe Sawyer Superintendent of Schools
