Week in Reflection

The Week in Reflection: 1/15

1/12/2021

Pause for a moment

Picture
This time of year can create a sense of passiveness or lethargy in energy, creativity, and health. Living in Northeast Ohio and walking outside to cloudiness and unpredictable weather only adds to the feeling of waiting and wishing for a change. No human is immune to these feelings...especially after the last several months.  Taking care of yourself will best equip you for emotions that can arise this time of year.  

Weathering the storm

When a storm is predicted you prepare the best that you can as a homeowner, motorist, or tourist. Your experiences, along with trusting others who have been in similar conditions, best equip you with the knowledge that you need to get through these situations. Likewise, in your life, there are many people that you encounter that have experienced the trials of good and bad times. Listening to the wisdom of family members and trusted adults can provide insight into the best ways to get through difficult times. Knowing that there are others who are experiencing these feelings, or passiveness is an important reality to remember. You are not in this alone. In order to equip yourself fully, it is important to talk to others and share how you are feeling instead of letting the "storm" grow inside of your life.  The third quarter of a school year can be compared to the 7th inning stretch in baseball: the time of year where students can become very restless and lethargic. Every student can fall into this restless period- it is important that parents, teachers, counselors, and administrators work collaboratively to guide students through this seasonal experience.

Creating new habits

The best way to get out of the third quarter blues is to create new habits and routines. This is easier said than done. Students need to choose this response to create the new outcomes that they desire. Light energizes each of us. During the winter, the days seem shorter due to the change in season and the tilt of the earth. Our bodies adjust to this change and we need to create new routines to increase our energy. In the same way, the third quarter can create a "tilt" in our energy to stay on top of our work, exercise, and past routines.  Many students may fall into this trap of the third quarter and wonder what happened when the quarter ends in early March. Instead of wondering where the time went---reestablish the routines that you set forth in the first and second quarters and plowshare the noise of the third quarter.  

Preparing for tomorrow by living today

In his book, Above the Line: Lessons in Leadership and Life from a Championship Program, Urban Meyer discusses the success formula that can catapult our responses to any event in our lives.  This formula is simple: E + R = O (Event + Response = Outcome) We don’t control the events in life and we don’t directly control the outcomes. However,  we always have control over how we choose to respond. His approach to athletes can align perfectly with our response to events in our life. The key indicator is leadership. This leadership is not only what I can control as a principal. It is what WE can lead as parents, teachers, and coaches to our children--along with how we can support each other in the process. We all need to ask the question--exactly what is it that I am after each day? Having this clarity of purpose will allow us to keep our responses "above the line" of being intentional, purposeful, and skillful whereas living "below the line" of being impulsive, and on autopilot.

Six R Factor Disciplines that Urban Meyer teaches:
(Above the Line: Lessons in Leadership and Life from a Championship Program)

1. Press Pause – gives you time to think, gets you off autopilot, avoid doing something foolish or harmful, focus on acting with purpose
2. Get Your Mind Right – What you focus on, how you talk to yourself, productive vs negative mindset, Irritated Mindset or Survival Mindset (both below the line) vs. Purpose mindset (above the line)
3. Step Up – Understand the situation, understand what is required of you and respond above the line
4. Adjust & Adapt – Consider the current path of your R Factor habits. Where are they taking you? Where do you want to go? Adjust.
5. Make a Difference – take complete ownership of the experience you give others and your contribution to the team’s culture
6. Build Skill – Elite performers build skill above their talents. Talent is a gift, greatness is a choice.

Under pressure, we do not rise to the occasion. We rise or fall to the level of our training. Therefore, train far beyond the finish line of the third quarter and the outcomes will catapult the goals that you set for yourself. ​

Attendance
Accurately tracking students’ attendance is required by the State of Ohio.  While in the hybrid model, students have an increased responsibility in this process. Please contact the school at 440-285-4057 (press 1) to notify the school of any absence or appointments during the school day. ​

As we discussed with students and staff this week, the high school needed to disable the Infinite Campus Check-In procedures this week due to technical glitches that were overriding teacher/secretary changes at the end of each day. Attendance for virtual students are still be accounted for by the LIVE Meets, and submitting classwork posted. During the interim, in order for a student to be marked as “present” during any given class period in a remote setting, students need to check in to Google Classroom to determine if class is synchronous---and join, along with completing assigned work and submitting work by the date and time that it is assigned by each teacher.

If students do not meet BOTH of these expectations, they will be marked absent for the school day, or absent from a specific class from which the work was not completed.  These absence hours will calculate towards truancy calculations as required by House Bill 410.  Parents are encouraged to activate attendance notifications through the Infinite Campus parent portal to be notified of student attendance.
Learning Procedures
While learning from home if the district is in a hybrid model, students should, on average, anticipate approximately 3-4 hours of required work each day.  Please remember that this is a full day of school.  

All work will be assigned through Google Classroom for each class.  The work will be posted prior to each course and will be due by the date and time that the assignment is assigned. 

Students will be required to complete activities mostly independently and will be from programs, routines, and procedures of which they are familiar with using while in-person.

Martin Luther King, Jr

Picture
T​here is so much we can all learn from Martin Luther King, Jr, and not just on the day off we get once a year to commemorate his life! The enclosed is a simple read from Peter Jones of the Job Network.
​
Here are 5 powerful lessons from Dr. King that could help you live better, do better, and go further.

1. Ask why.

And more importantly, ask “why not?” If someone tells you something is impossible, ask this very important question to figure out why they are so convinced, and whether you might be able to offer a solution no one else had seen. When looking for answers to some of the biggest questions of a generation, Dr. King turned to other sources for inspiration. This teaches us the answers to our problems will often come from unexpected corners, and how important it is to learn from other people and other cultures as much as we can.

2. You can’t change change.

Change is constant. Dr. King was initially hesitant to join in the 1963 March on Washington, but he adapted to the evolving movement and ended up leading one of the most moving and effective platforms for social change. Be adaptable. Realize that change is inevitable. All you can control is what you do in the face of it.

3. Find where you can give, not just receive.

Dr. King once said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” In stressful times, it becomes very difficult to focus on anyone but ourselves. But this is a moral requirement, and increasingly more so in our interconnected, fast-paced world. When you’re in a rut, focus on helping people—you’ll be surprised at what a difference that can make.

4. Tune out the critics.

As long as you’ve chosen a path that’s good and a cause that you are passionate about, and as long as you’re pursuing both with integrity, honesty, and concern for others, then you’ll need to tune out the haters now and then. People will always be critical. Rejection will always happen, particularly in the course of a career. But if you know you’re doing the right thing, you should keep doing it.

5. Leave a legacy.

Think about what sort of mark you want to leave on the world. Is the work you’re doing going to make a difference to the next generation? Even if you can’t make an impact on the same scale as Dr. King, you can figure out ways to leave your workplace, industry, etc., a little better off for your having been there.
Jones, Peter. "5 Life Lessons You Can Learn from Martin Luther King, Jr.." TheJobNetwork. 16 Jan. 2017. Web. 15 Jan. 2020. <https://www.thejobnetwork.com/5-life-lessons-you-can-learn-from-martin-luther-king-jr-012017/>

​A New Year.
New Opportunities. 

At the beginning of anything new, we have the opportunity to reflect on moments from the past year and make meaningful resolutions for the upcoming year. In order for any resolution to come to fruition, we need to make changes to our routines or habits. Research states that it takes 21 days to create new habits. Creating new habits, or breaking old ones is challenging but the outcomes can be transformative to the person making meaningful changes. 

Often times, we make resolutions for our health and by the time that spring break rolls around, we are back to our old habits. This year, after all of the things that we have faced, I challenge everyone to look at one way that you can make an impact on your life. For students, it could relate to organizational effectiveness--study habits, homework, test prep, etc. It could also connect to putting down technology each night at a certain time.  For parents, it could relate to wellness, or it could relate to scheduled dinners, or even putting your work away at a certain time to be with your children. For staff, it could relate to trying something new within instructional practices each unit, or finding extra patience in the classroom or with technology.

Reflecting on the first semester, I am so proud of our students and our teachers' efforts to focus on the eminent core value of optimism.  Throughout the school year, students could generally experience our energy and focus on our core values during assemblies, rallies, and community experiences. This year, we really had to be creative in our presentations, podcasts, communications, and connections with students within new parameters. It has not been easy, and each of us play a role in either reading, watching, listening, or experiencing our best practices of the past in new ways. Being optimistic is the one thing that we can all long for in our lives. This semester also gave us the opportunity to reflect on ourselves. Mindfulness of self and others became an important barometer of 2020 , and it should be a sense that we continue to apply into this new year. We need to be mindful of our pulse--personally, mentally, and socially. Likewise, we need to be active listeners and mindful to needs of others and use our resources to assist others . Our country needs to model this more than ever right now, and it can start with us.

The compass, road map, and GPS to all that we do is our mission statement which is enhanced through the magnifying lens of our core values. All of the outcomes in which we gauge learners filters through the creativity, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and community connections that all of our educators emphasize in the day to day interactions with students. Through this daily encounter of learning, our students become exposed to programs, supports, and pathways that help guide them to find their individual purpose.

This new year is up to us. Live it to the fullest. Every single day is an opportunity to seize the day to the fullest. Make today great! Here are some key areas to focus on towards establishing new goals this semester.
​
Purposeful Life

Anyone that knows me can share that I wear my emotions on my sleeves. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, there is complete transparency to my emotions.  People who live a life of purpose have core beliefs and values that influence their decisions, shape their day-to-day actions, and determine their short and long-term priorities. They place significant value on being a person of high integrity and in earning the trust and respect of others. The result is that they live with a clear conscience and spend more time listening to their inner voice than being influenced negatively by others.

Make the Right Stuff, the Right Stuff

I learned the value of hard work from my parents, and definitely from my wife who is the ultimate multi-tasker. People who live a life of purpose identify those activities that matter most to them and spend the majority of their time and effort in those areas. Otherwise, it’s too easy to drift away in the currents of life. There is a clear connection to the statement: How we spend our days parallels to how we live our lives. They work hand in hand---reminding us of the important marriage of choices and priorities. 

Passion

My entire life I have found value in pursuing what my passions were. From working outdoors at Sand Ridge to Kirtland Country Club, to teaching, and coaching...I have always loved pursuing areas in my life that I enjoyed. People who live a life of purpose wake up each morning eager to face the new day. They pursue their dreams with fervor, put their hearts into everything they do, and feel that they’re personally making a difference. 

Balance

Finding a balance is essential and challenging. The key is reflecting often and demonstrating your care and commitment to those that you love along with balancing your passion(s). People who live a life of purpose put their heart into their career and into building relationships with friends and family. They also reserve adequate time to satisfy their personal needs. Achieving balance means living up to one’s potential in all facets of life.

Happiness 

Happiness is a choice – not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you. – --Ralph Marston 

I have lived by this mantra my whole life. People who live a life of purpose have inner peace. They’re satisfied with what they have and who they are. To them, the grass is greener on their own side of the fence because of the time spent nurturing and cultivating their purpose. 

Serving

Living a life of service has taught me so much about myself. It has humbled me, guided me, and grounded me in my values. People who live a life of purpose make a meaningful difference in someone else’s life. They do things for others without expectation of personal gain, serve as exemplary role models, and gain as much satisfaction witnessing the success of others as witnessing their own. As the old proverb says, “A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.” Caring your candle and go light your world in the service of others.

Seizing Moments

Many years ago, there was a movie titled, Dead Poet's Society. In the film there is a scene where Robin William challenges the students to Carpe Diem- Seize the day--and make their lives extraordinary!  He was changing the students perspective and experiences to live beyond the status quo. People who live a life of purpose cherish every moment and seek to live life without regret. They take joy in the experiences that life gives and don’t worry about keeping score. ​

Make the most out of the moments in front of you and seize every single day as a new opportunity to achieve greatness!

CHS Hybrid Model Details 2.0

Please note that a change to the hybrid model WILL impact the 100% virtual (blue) instructional model. These students will follow the schedule posted in this document. The purpose of adjusting the previously deployed 50/50 schedule is to increase the continuity of class interaction with the teachers. Should the district move to a different instructional model, additional details that impact all high school students would be shared.  ​
Schedule
All students in person were assigned to an A / B family group as utilized during the first week of school.  Since Blue Model students attend virtually, they are not assigned to a group and attend classes based on their daily schedule. Any families who are not sure of their family group assignment should first check Infinite Campus prior to contacting the CHS main office.  

Students enrolled (in-person) at Chardon High School will attend school in the building based on the assigned family group on the following days; transportation will run at the regular times. This schedule indicates a two week window of the 50/50 model due to the 4 -day school week.
Picture
While in-person, students will follow their class schedule and receive typical daily instruction as they have since the start of the year. 

During the A/B rotation, students at home may participate in synchronous (LIVE) or asynchronous (posted) learning activities. Students at home should follow their typical class schedule working on assignments in each of their classes that must be completed by the date and time that the assignment is posted.  Please see each teacher’s Google Classroom for specific instructions. Some teachers may choose to stream coursework throughout the duration of this A/B rotation white schedule.

Learning Procedures
While learning from home if the district is in a hybrid model, students should, on average, anticipate approximately 3-4 hours of required work each day.  Please remember that this is a full day of school.

Looking back at the myriad of words that have been recorded this semester in this weekly blog- it is easy to see the volume of amazing students that have walked the halls, fields, and unique learning environments this semester. Coming into this school year, we had so many barriers placed before us.  The students and staff have responded with dignity, and perseverance throughout a semester filled with uncertainty. This is a perfect time of year for everyone at CHS to recharge and refocus on the simple things in life.  As we transition into 2021, remind yourself of how precious time is and the people that are in your inner circle. Take time for you...and spend time with your families.

As I have shared before, Robert Frost has played a significant role in authoring the numerous decisions that I have made in my life. His writings, along with other writers- fictional, philosophical, and sacred have inspired me to find my purpose. As we close a new year, consider the hills and valleys that you have faced along with your decisions along the way.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day! 
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

As I have shared with every student, staff, and parent that I have talked to over the years---we all have a story. It is through this story that we find ourselves and live with a defined purpose. Finding our call in life has no timeline or playbook.  The more we open our eyes to the beauty in us, around us, and beyond us- the more we define who we are.

Parents:

Cherish these moments that you have with your children. The days have come and passed so quickly as you have watched your children grow. These four years of high school are pivotal in the maturation of your children. Often, you may wonder, do they hear me? Do they know that I care? The answer is complicated and simple...yes. Your children hear you, need you, and love you...even when they make decisions that ask the question if they ever have heard a word that you have shared. Remember, you were in their shoes. The lines of communication are always open- and when you dial them with your love--they will hear.

Students:

The last four months have gone by so quickly. It doesn't matter what grade level that you are in---you have faced a lot of choices. What I love about high school is the diversity of experiences that you face throughout your four years. Whether you are an eighth grader walking the halls for the first time, or you just were accepted into college--these four years draw into deep memories. Cherish today, for tomorrow is never granted. Live for the simple moments in life. Unplug from data and plug into real communication with your friends and family. A snapchat message will always be there waiting; never bypass a simple embrace, hello, or opportunity to give of yourself.

Staff:

One of the most overlook careers in the world is the one that creates careers. Being a teacher is a sacrifice, a gift, and often a thankless job. We appreciate the gifts that our teachers provide each day at Chardon High School.  We have tremendous educators that not only live their content--they teach about living. Thank you for all that you do to train the future leaders--today.

As we transition into a new year, my wish for you is that of continued, hope, joy, and happiness. Enjoy this time with family and friends. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and have a joyous New Year!

Our core values recognize Achievement as an essential benchmark of the learning that transpires every day at Chardon High School. We have extraordinary educators that prepare our students for college, career, and life readiness. Our students refine their learning in the classroom and demonstrate their abilities in so many skill sets in extra-curriculars, service, and clubs. 

It is our goal that every single person at Chardon High School graduates finding his/her purpose. The programs and opportunities that students experience at Chardon from grades 8-12 expose them to opportunities to achieve this purpose. More importantly, the relationships that students develop are paramount in their development. Every student matters to us. Taking the time to celebrate achievement collectively provides us the motivation and encouragement to push and strive for success ---so that every student will find their outcome after walking across the stage to further education, immediate employment, enlistment into our armed forces, and even delving into becoming a young entrepreneur.

Today, we will celebrate many moments of achievement. Although we are unable to do so in person, the same commitment to care and recognition still matters to us.


Being a part of the Topper Club is an extraordinary accomplishment. Our students noted in the Week in Reflection have maintained a GPA of 3.75 or higher. Together, we are witnessing the development of engineers, doctors, lawyers, educators, chemists, advanced manufacturers, cosmetologists, medics, leaders, and philanthropists who see the good in others and respond to the needs of others. We are grateful for our student leadership and look forward to the many ways that they will serve our school in the present and the future.  As we transition back to school in January, student may come into the main office to pick up their award. 

Free Harmony Holiday Concert

It pains all of us that we are unable to watch our bands, and choirs perform this holiday season. Earlier in the month, Mr. Streiff and G-TV collaborated to record a safe holiday concert. We look forward to the day where we can listen to beauty of our students! Enjoy the video below.

OLAC Presentation: The Principal's Podcast

This week, the CHS administration had the opportunity to present (virtually) at a national conference discussing the topic of maximizing creativity during the pandemic.  We presented on the Principal's Podcast.

Weekly Reflections are a great way for high school students to take a look back at their week and reflect on what they learned, how they were successful, what challenges they faced, and what goals they would like to set, moving forward. Weekly Reflections allow students to take the wheel and show pride in their learning.

Every Friday morning, the Chardon community is blessed with dynamic words and pictures from the past week of events at Chardon High School. As 2020 began to evolve into a myriad of challenges, the administrators at Chardon High School enhanced this weekly model to meet the needs of the community. First out of necessity and now with intention, purpose, and meaning, the Week in Reflection Podcast brings the community even closer to the great work of our students, faculty, and school. Enclosed below is the video presentation.

The Week in Reflection: 12/11

12/8/2020

 
We receive many calls each week that relate to what's happening at school. I might have lost count at this point to the amount of times that I hear our secretaries talk to parents and guardians about the Week in Reflection. So, here's another reminder--- if this is your first time reading this---this is the "catch all" building level communication that comes out each Friday at 7 AM. If you choose to not skim this information, you will be directed to this weekly newsletter for the answer. Too many times we hear--"I don't read anything from the school." Please save yourself the step and browse this before calling.

Reflecting

When you look in the mirror--what do you see? What do you feel? What do you hear?

A reflection is a mirror image of what we see on the exterior.  When we look at ourselves we often see ourselves as other people describe us. Mirrors can be tricky in reflecting the mirage of another person's words. The world can be a cold place when we look in the mirror. But, does it have to be? Should it be? 

A mirror should reflect the beauty of our creation, our words, and our feelings. Everyone is beautiful. Everyone has value, and everyone has worth. It is up to each of us to reflect this into our own mind's eye in order to change our world, our perspective, and our outcomes--and in doing so, we change another person's world.  A little bit of kindness goes a long way. That kindness lives in each of us.

This past week has been difficult for all of us. Those reading this would know. Every employee, every student, and every caretaker sacrificed, even more, this week as we deployed week one of Remote Learning 2.0.  Some students love it, some students adapt to it, and other students hate it. I get it. We get it. We miss seeing our students, but we know that this period of time is important for all of us to take care of ourselves so that we can see each other real soon.  

What is really important for all of us to understand is the fact that this is school. This is not last spring when things were frantically being built and we didn't know all of the outcomes that we were preparing for. This summer, fall, and our experiences in all educational models have refined us ---and we have prepared for this moment. We know that it will not be perfect nor ideal, but we have nearly 90 adults working meticulously to make sure that all students are on track, doing their work, and being mindful of their learning. 

This shared experience in Remote Learning 2.0 takes a team in order for it to be successful. The administration, school counselors, secretaries, and support staff are working daily to support the educational system. In order for the system to sustain success, we need all of our students to stay on schedule. Students need to report during their scheduled classes on time, engage in coursework and meets, and ask for help when they feel unsettled. This help is more than just the skills learned in the classroom. Students should contact their teachers, counselors, administrators, and support staff to assist them during this period of time in remote learning. We are all here to help. 

This two week scheduled window in remote learning is to help our county, school, and households flatten the curve. We all have to do our part in and out of the classroom. We know that we will get through this, we just need to weather this storm---together. 

The schedule for next week is the same as last week. The remote schedule is much more conducive to learning than the hybrid model. Teachers are able to meet with their students more frequently and have built-in office hours throughout. Take care! Please reach out if you need us, we miss you all!

​CHS Remote Learning Schedule Details 2020-2021

Please note that a change to the remote learning schedule model WILL impact the 100% virtual (blue) instructional model. These students will follow the remote learning schedule. Furthermore, these details apply to those who are enrolled in (in-person) learning.  Should the district move to back to a 50/50 hybrid or 100%, additional details that impact all high school students would be shared. ​
Schedule
In the remote learning schedule, (A/B) groups NO longer need to be utilized. All students report each day remotely to their class period following the bell schedule.
Picture
While in a remote learning schedule, students will follow their class schedules and receive daily instruction from their teachers. Students will go to the Google Classroom for each instructional period to access either the Google Meet or daily learning instructions from the teacher. ​
Picture
Attendance
Accurately tracking students’ attendance is required by the State of Ohio.  While in a hybrid, students had an increased responsibility in this process.  Now, while in 100% remote learning, traditional attendance will occur. (Teachers will take attendance).

In order for a student to be marked as present during any given class period in a remote setting, two things must occur:
  1. Students enter Google Classroom and enter the LIVE Google Meet. Teachers will take attendance during the period. Our attendance secretary will see LIVE attendance activity in order to inform parents of any absences. 
  2. All assigned work must be completed and submitted by the date and time that it is assigned by each teacher.  

If students do not meet BOTH of these expectations, they will be marked absent for the school day, or absent from a specific class from which the work was not completed.  These absence hours will calculate towards truancy calculations as required by House Bill 410.  Parents are encouraged to activate attendance notifications through the Infinite Campus parent portal to be sure your son or daughter checks-in daily.  

It is really important to note the class times for the remote learning model. Our plan has evolved since July. In order to deliver, apply, and execute the most sound plan--we have adjusted lunch periods in order for all students and staff to eat at the same time since the students will be at home.
Learning Procedures
While learning from home students should, on average, anticipate approximately 3-4 hours of class contact/work each day.  Please remember that this is a full day of school.  

The following activities/class periods will not meet virtually:

Regular Study Halls
Freshman Mentoring Program
Topper Times

All work will be assigned through Google Classroom for each class.  The work will be posted prior to each course and will be due by the date and time that the assignment is assigned.  
​

All teachers who are NOT teaching in the Circuit of Success will have office hours scheduled for Monday, Tuesday, and Friday from 1:51-2:25 pm. Likewise, teachers may adjust their Wednesday PLC time to work with students. These hours are built as an opportunity to receive assistance from your teacher. ​

​Jeremy's Kids

Picture
The impact of COVID-19 has impacted so many parts of our lives for way too long... and as we approach the holiday season, the Chardon Service class had to adjust many parts of the annual fundraiser,  Jeremy's Kids.

The Chardon Service Learning class has developed an amazing website this year to help the process.   Last year, the class raised almost $10,000.00.  They were able to help nearly eighty people.  The need in Geauga County this year is even higher and we worked with our school treasurer to come up with a safe and secure process for fundraising.  Please consider donating to this excellent cause and help make a child have an amazing Christmas. For those who do not know the story, here's our why-


On December 24th, 1999, the son of Robert and Dee Mizen, Jeremy, suffered trauma to the head following a car accident on the way to Christmas Eve church service. An outpour of love and compassion from the community donated thousands of dollars that eventually was used as a scholarship fund in memory of Jeremy's life. The scholarship program ended in 2011 granting one thousand dollar scholarships to eight students. The Jeremy's Kids Foundation fund was started in 2001 and continues to this day collecting money from the community to purchase gifts for families in need each holiday season. It is our mission to make the Christmas of each and every individual included in this operation unforgettable.

The mission of Jeremy's kids is to provide holiday gifts for at need families in Geauga County. In 20 years of giving back to the community, we have raised over $120,000. With the money raised, Chardon High School students are given the opportunity to go to local stores and shop for these families. With your help, we can continue this tradition even through the hard times we are experiencing due to Covid-19.

The Week in Reflection: 12/4/20

12/3/2020

 

Welcome Home, Snow

Picture
Well, you cannot make this stuff up.  The question now is-who is going to be the first from our circles to write the book about the misfit toy year known as 2020. Just when you think you have seen it all, then it snows right on time.  I hope that you have power to even read this communication. Most of us have lived through a Chardon snow, but this one was certainly heavy (literally). This week, we experienced a partial schedule of periods 1, 3, 5, 7---two consecutive calamity days--and our consecutive red schedules. This week, we also learned that the district will be transitioning to remote learning starting next week.  There is a lot of information inside of this edition of the Week in Reflection.

CHS Principal Podcast: Mr. Murray, Mr. Bandiera, and Mr. Higham discuss next week

Watch or listen to this podcast to best understand the change in delivery model for next week as we move to remote learning from December 7-December 18. The winter break begins thereafter through January 4, 2021. School returns on January 5, 2021.

Happy Thanksgiving Topper Families!

It is probably an understatement to say that 2020 has been an interesting year.  We have celebrated great accomplishments as a school community with our unique 2020 Commencement Ceremony, outstanding academic achievements, and our most recent success on the football field.  These accomplishments through a pandemic continue to prove that we are Chardon Strong!  In Chardon, we are also resilient.  We have persevered through Emergency Remote Learning, Modified Schedules, and Social Distancing. Throughout all of this, I continue to have the blessing of coming to school each day with great students and teachers. 

When we come to this Thanksgiving Season, we often reflect back on all the things we are thankful for.  This year, I am so much more aware of these things.  I am thankful for the simple things like Clorox Wipes and Toilet Paper.  I am thankful for the important things like the essential workers who have often risked their health and safety to protect and serve us.  I am thankful for those who have made sacrifices for the betterment of all.  In my professional life, I am thankful for being awarded the OASSA Assistant Principal of the Year award. While my name was on this award, it is an award for all the teachers, students, and families that I work with.  In my personal life, I am thankful for my wife, Katie, and my son, Anderson who continue to support me at home. 

While 2020 has been a very different and interesting year, I am thankful for all these blessings. As we enter this holiday season, it is my wish that all Chardon Families continue to have a safe and loving holiday season with their families.   Chardon is strong and we will overcome all of this through our strength. 
Happy Thanksgiving Toppers!

~Mr. Bandiera~ 

Mr. Higham

Thanksgiving will look and feel a little different for us all but I pray you find a way to celebrate and are surrounded by good vibes, good people and good food. 

To the Chardon community, thank you for all the love, kindness and support you have shown me throughout the years. 

To my family, words cannot express how thankful I am to have you in my life.  Your love and support are endless and motivating.  You are my rock!

In this festive season, I hope you are surrounded by the love of your family and dear friends. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

​-Mr. Higham

Wow. Did we end last school year yet... did we begin this year yet? What a period of time that we have been living in. The best advice that I constantly remind myself is E+R=O. The event of this year has impacted all of us . I hope that you feel that our response to it has lead to the best possible outcomes that one could ask for given the parameters that we are facing.   

Thanksgiving gives us the opportunity to pause and reflect on the simple things of life. It is important to take the time to reflect on all of the beauty of the semester.  Every single day provides for us an opportunity to give, to learn, and to serve. I am forever grateful to the friends that I have as I walk down each hallway. It is easy to call the staff at CHS my friends. The teachers and staff members energize me with their passion for learning and love of our students. 
 I love my staff, and I am forever grateful for their gifts that they provide our students.

One of the best parts of my day is interacting with students. It is hard to believe that we are almost at the halfway point of the school year. We have such wonderful students! I truly love their kindness, energy, creativity, and leadership. I am so grateful for the beauty they give to the Chardon community. I am a better man just by working beside each of them. From sitting with our eighth graders to meeting with our seniors-- I love spending my time with each of them--even with a little more space between us.

I am grateful for the support, encouragement, and assistance that our parents have provided not only me, but to our teachers, coaches, and community. This year has aged all of us, but is through your energy that gives me fuel to get through the events we experience every new day. You continue to model servant leadership to each of us!

Most importantly, I am grateful to my beautiful family that sacrifice so much to be with me.  They haven't seen me a ton, but they know how much I love them. My wife is truly my best friend. She is beside me at many events, and has been hard on her not to be able to go to all of the events of this school year. I am blessed to have our daughters at Chardon, and I look forward to sharing many memories with them through their years in our district.

Thanksgiving is an opportunity to give thanks to the simple things in life: family, friends and familiar fellowship. Let this day be a reminder of how the simple things in life are the strongest reminders of why we work, why we give, and why we serve.  Have a beautiful week with your family!

The Week in Reflection: 11/20

11/20/2020

 

Built Chardon Strong

Picture
Over the last few weeks, we all have been extremely connected to our students in providing communications, counseling, and service to our mission.  Mr. Higham, Mr. Bandiera, and I have taken time to meet with numerous students to discuss academics, relationships, and behaviors in person and via Google Meet. 

In between proactively talking with small groups, guiding young students with their words, and situations outside of the school--- we have worked tirelessly to not interrupt learning and targeted outcomes in the classroom throughout the hybrid model.

Many of the tasks that the administration works on are unnoticed by many, but they are done out of a commitment to you, our students, and our school. We do this while balancing our own family life.


​The CHS staff are extraordinary people. They have been assisting me, our assistant principals, and teachers while we manage and lead through covering classes, lending a hand with supervision, and assisting students with their needs. At our core, community driven values and relationships carry the beacon that drives our success. The phrase that breathes energy in our building is Chardon Strong. This mantra is best understood in the following ways:

We are Chardon. To live our values means that we are defined by our response to any outcome. We have modeled this for generations of students and parents towards how we respond to difficulty. We are a community in good and bad times who will live with integrity. We have been consistently humbled in our response to moments of success, doubt, and difficulty. We are a district that demonstrates achievement in our outcomes to the state, and outreach to our community and nation. We model respect in our success and failures and how we respond to each other. We recognize the value of seeing the dignity and honor of all of the students and staff members that we encounter. Most importantly, we are optimistic for tomorrow by living our purpose today as we nurture each other.

We are Chardon...you cannot be built much tougher. As we transition into this weekend and soon Thanksgiving, take the time to give thanks to someone who has made a difference in your life this school year.

Chardon Hilltoppers Head to the FINALS

Picture
The last time that the Chardon Hilltoppers played for a state title, Coach Hewitt was playing in the game.  That was nearly 23 years ago. The last time we won the state championship, I was a sophomore. This is a big deal in Chardon.  Our community supports and loves all of our teams, but there is a close embrace for football. Since the 80's, our Hilltoppers have gone from playing Twisted Sister's "Were not going to take it" as loud as the boombox would get in the old weight room...to a feared team who thrives on culture, discipline, and responsibility. This change in culture didn't happen by chance. It was built- brick by brick- starting with the culture, and weaving though traditions. One doesn't have to look at stats to see the results that have followed through generations of Hilltoppers and only three coaches. We are very proud of all of the barriers that our fall sports teams have crossed in order to make it to the finish line and we hope to put one more banner on the wall! Go Toppers

A Community of Hilltoppers

Due to technical difficulties, the Principal's Podcast will be loaded hopefully later on Friday. My computer crashed when I uploaded the file from the chrome tab. I am so sorry. The podcast included Coach Hewitt, Doug Snyder, Doug Higham, Drew Fetchik, and Scott Neil '96.  I spent a ton of time trying to fix this problem. I am so sorry about this. in the interim, check out the WKYC coverage below.

​Friday Night Highlights

I have made nearly 80 highlight videos since coming back to CHS in 2013, enclosed is last week's BIG game. Check out my YouTube page for the next highlight video coming this weekend.

Attendance
Accurately tracking students’ attendance is required by the State of Ohio.  While in a hybrid or 100% virtual situation, students have an increased responsibility in this process.  Please contact the school at 440-285-4057 (press 1) to notify the school of any absence or appointments during the school day.
​

In order for a student to be marked as “present” during any given class period in a remote setting, two things must occur:
  1. Students must login to Infinite Campus and “Check-in” for the assigned period.
Picture
 2. Go to Google Classroom to determine if you have a LIVE Google Meet or posted class assignment for the day. All assigned work must be completed and submitted by the date and time that it is assigned by each teacher. 
​
If students do not meet BOTH of these expectations, they will be marked absent for the school day, or absent from a specific class from which the work was not completed.  These absence hours will calculate towards truancy calculations as required by House Bill 410.  Parents are encouraged to activate attendance notifications through the Infinite Campus parent portal to be sure your son or daughter checks-in daily. ​
While learning from home students should, on average, anticipate approximately 3-4 hours of required work each day.  Please remember that this is a full day of school.  

All work will be assigned through Google Classroom for each class. Both Monday and Tuesday will be LIVE Google Meets. Likewise, coursework will be posted prior to each course and will be due by the date and time that the assignment is assigned. 

Students will be required to complete activities mostly independently and will be from programs, routines, and procedures of which they are familiar with using while in-person.

The Week in Reflection 11/13

11/11/2020

 
Picture
The image above is hybrid of the Champion logo blended with a little Chardon pick axe flare. I created this weeks ago. Like I have time, right...

Creating digital art relaxes me in between all of the  constant running in place. We all need something that we can go to during the difficulties of these unsettling times. 

Our students are so adaptable. They have faced so many adjustments to their high school life. They adjust and have such a champion spirit. They amaze me more and more each day. We love them so much.

Our teachers have evolved into extraordinary technological ninjas. I told a teacher today that once we get out of this pandemic--we will be master chefs of education. We will be able to serve so many different ways to reach students to meet the goals of the class. It hasn't been easy, but they have been amazing. They know how much that Mr. Higham, Mr. Bandiera, and I love them.

This week, the high school moved onto the 50/50 model. The week went really well. It wasn't easy at all on any of us (you included);  the more we see students in person the stronger our connection will be and learning will have a better chance to be mastered. In this Week in Reflection, I wanted to remind each of you of the plan for next week.

CHS Hybrid Model Details 2020-2021

Please note that a change to the hybrid model WILL impact the 100% virtual (blue) instructional model. These students will follow the 50/50 bell schedule.  Furthermore, these details apply to those who are enrolled in in-person learning.  Should the district move to a 100% remote instructional model, additional details that impact all high school students would be shared.  
Schedule
All students in person were assigned to an A / B family group as utilized during the first week of school.  Since Blue Model students attend virtually, they are not assigned to a group and attend classes based on their daily schedule. Any families who are not sure of their family group assignment should first check Infinite Campus prior to contacting the CHS main office.  ​
Picture
Picture
Students enrolled (in-person) at Chardon High School will attend school in the building based on the assigned family group on the following days; keep in mind that transportation will run at the regular times:  
Picture
While in-person, students will follow their class schedule and receive typical daily instruction as they have since the start of the year. 
​

While learning virtually, students will participate in asynchronous learning activities.  This means students will not have a strict schedule to follow, but will have work assigned in each of their classes that must be completed by the date and time that the assignment is assigned.  Please see each teacher’s Google Classroom for specific instructions. Some teachers may choose to stream coursework throughout the duration of this schedule.
Attendance
Accurately tracking students’ attendance is required by the State of Ohio.  While in a hybrid or 100% virtual situation, students have an increased responsibility in this process.  Please contact the school at 440-285-4057 (press 1) to notify the school of any absence or appointments during the school day.
​

In order for a student to be marked as “present” during any given class period in a remote setting, two things must occur:
  1. Students must login to Infinite Campus and “Check-in” for the assigned period.
Picture
         2. All assigned work must be completed and submitted by the date and time that it is assigned by each                 teacher. 
If students do not meet BOTH of these expectations, they will be marked absent for the school day, or absent from a specific class from which the work was not completed.  These absence hours will calculate towards truancy calculations as required by House Bill 410.  Parents are encouraged to activate attendance notifications through the Infinite Campus parent portal to be sure your son or daughter checks-in daily. 
Learning Procedures
While learning from home if the district is in a hybrid model, students should, on average, anticipate approximately 3-4 hours of required work each day.  Please remember that this is a full day of school.  

All work will be assigned through Google Classroom for each class.  The work will be posted prior to each course and will be due by the date and time that the assignment is assigned. 

Students will be required to complete activities mostly independently and will be from programs, routines, and procedures of which they are familiar with using while in-person.  

All teachers will have office hours scheduled for Thursday and Friday at 8:00 AM. This is an opportunity to receive assistance from your teacher. Teachers will provide you with information for accessing them (the teacher) during this time.

Important Messaging from the District and CHS

This might have been the most complex work week since planning school. All of us at Chardon High School were working collaboratively to manage the reality of many decisions and outcomes outside of the general tasks of educators.  Albeit many, we continue climbing as Hilltoppers through the vast terrain.  This Week in Reflection will encompass many important messages. Please take the time to understand the information. We are explaining this information to all students this morning.

This morning, I presented to the Board of Education. Below is the BoxCast of the entire meeting
After the meeting, the district sent out this communication.
The enclosed document is essential to review as we transition to a hybrid learning model next week.

ELA LIVE!

Picture
Originally conceived by Language Arts teacher Dawn Weaver, Language Arts Live! is a speaker and resource program which provides students with examples of how the knowledge they acquire in the classroom translates to the professional world and life beyond high school.  The objectives are for students to be able to better understand the various reading, writing and communication skills they are currently learning and to then be able to apply these skills meaningfully to their lives. This year, the whole experience was VIRTUAL!

The key to the success of this series is parental and community involvement which reinforces our CHARDON core values. Parents and community professionals joined a Google Meet and participated in a panel discussion regarding the use of language and communication skills in various settings. Our seniors, in preparation for college and career readiness, will be exploring technical and career writing with the help of mentors currently in the professions to which the seniors aspire. The variety of professionals explain to the students the importance of effective communication skills, ideally motivating them to be effective communicators themselves. On November 3, Heather Biernacki and Lynn Monaco welcomed Allison Jennifer Brush, James Laudato , Andy Brush, Amie Peters, Carey Shive, and Guy Wilson into their senior ELA courses for this year’s speaker panel.

Shoe Drive:  A Message from Marijke Mendeszoon

Picture
Picture
A service project lead by Marijke Mendezoon

​2020 has been a very difficult year for everybody due to Covid-19. People have lost jobs, businesses have gone out of business and the financial base for families to afford things has not been easy. As a small gesture, one way I feel I can help out is by having a shoe drive. In everything you do, it is essential to have the proper gear. Growing up, my lifestyle has been surrounded by running. My parents own running stores and I am a runner. I’ve seen the impact of people wearing improper shoes which causes orthopedic problems. I’ve noticed shoes being donated overseas, but I think it’s essential that we start taking care of our own community first. I have been collecting gently worn running shoes for those who are seeking some. My goal for this school year is to have 2,020 shoes, for the year 2020. I ask people of the community or anywhere in Geauga County to donate any shoes that are not being used. These shoes will go to great use, instead of sitting around. There are a variety of sizes available, along with them being cleaned and sanitized. Anyone's help in making this happen would mean the world! If you are interested in finding out more contact ​mm.5446@chardon.us ​

​​Veteran's Day

Picture
At the end of World War 1, the armistice between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, became the official day to celebrate all our nation’s veterans.  Originally called Armistice Day, it became Veteran’s Day after World War II. At Chardon High School, thousands of graduates have served our country for duty, honor, and love of country. We are grateful to the men and women who are proud veterans of the US Armed Services. Please join me in thanking all of the men and women in our community who served oour country! Many blessing to you!

Closing Hope

With the presidential election at a closure (at least by date), it is time for the outside "noise" to settle with all of the advertisements, phone calls, social media news, and newscasts to focus on drawing our lens on our purpose. Regardless of your political beliefs- we have an obligation to come together and collaborate on a single focus. A simple lesson that we can learn from an election of this caliber is the power of your voice, your vote, and your rights as American Citizens. We all have experienced an election that was unlike what we have seen in previous years. Our Social Studies teachers have used this election as teachable moments with curricular connections. As I mentioned earlier this year to the staff: Coming together is just the beginning, staying together will lead our progress, and working together will transform lives for generations of Hilltoppers....or in this case, Americans. We are the midst of a pandemic, economic unrest, and a national split. No election will recoil us to a day where we cannot survive. Our purpose will guide us, our intentions will ground us, and our love of country will mold us a ONE.  Standing United we will mold our continued vision of tomorrow.

​The first attributed use in modern times to "Standing United" comes to us from one of our Founding Father's, John Dickinson, in his song "The Liberty Song". In the song, Dickinson wrote: "Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all! By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall!"


I am not one to ever go political, but I thought it was important to share a simple statement based on my observations of the world this week. Be kind, Be mindful, and Be Strong.
