Peter Light
Chandler Creedon
Debbie Dixon
Kate Peretz
Brian Wildeman
not just counseling, focused on social and emotional learning
recognition of the whole team in guidance and counseling
CASEL.org leading group working in the social emotional space Also working with the State however, Franklin was working with them earlier
importance of SEL for success of students
without these SEL skills, students can learning at capacity
if 5% of the students require intervention, what does it say about Franklin schools when we have approx 17% in some form of special education?
monthly whole school meeting, one piece of the responsive classroom approach is the individual classroom morning meeting
three stages in the approach through the school year
- who am I?
- what is my place in the world?
- How can I make a difference?
approx 18-19 clubs at middle schools, high school has more clubs in addition to the intramural and interscholastic sports programs
"if you can't reach them, you can't teach them"
site used by teachers, clam.calm
zones of regulation, leads to increase control of self and can lead to problem solving
(Bilello arrives at 8:00)
team of four from Oak St nominated for special program in SEL to bring back training to the rest; a nine month program with 15 credits
substance abuse task force being rolled out across the district
check out video embedded in the presentation document above (15 mins)
IST - instructional support team, based in each school
expanding the focus of this team to include SEL
screening and assessment, i.e pyramid shown earlier
when does someone move from tier to tier? still a tool in development
not to rush into screening and assessment
Bergen - can you speak to what more counselors can do at the middle school level?
Creedon - I walked in yesterday with a schedule of things to do and spent the day supporting a student who had some problems and ended up in the hospital. My day completed after 5 when I drove the mothers car to the hospital as she had gone with the student in the ambulence
Wildeman - more staff would allow to be more proactive, currently in a reactionary model
Bergen - is there part of the process to identify the student that is not getting involved, if involvement is so critical to their overall health and engagement?
Creedon - I had one boy who wasn't getting involved and I asked why, he said there was nothing for me to get involved. I asked what would you be involved in? He said legos. We got a lego set and it went from one kids on a Friday to over 100 a week in legoworld
Light - speaks for diverse programming to ensure a reach for all, need a niche for each student and then work into the areas that aren't their passion
Schultz - thank you for the clarification on what you provide vs. what you could provide, we need to provide the support required
O'Malley - we need to put forth to the public, the students are full entities, this is the best work I have seen the district has done. guidance is not a passive profession, that is not the traditional view. The parents of our students are fundamental to the success for the students. They are too big a player to be left aside in this discussion.

Attention: Franklin Area Sophomores in high school
It’s that time of year again and The Rotary Club of Franklin is interested in community leadership, not only for today but for tomorrow as well.
For this reason, Rotary District 7910 will conduct the annual Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) Conference at Fitchburg State University on June 23-25, 2017. The program will be staffed by carefully selected counselors and Rotary leaders.
Our objective is to offer outstanding high school sophomores an opportunity to live, work and interact together in an atmosphere of friendly competition. Also, we provide them with a program designed to challenge them to utilize and improve their skills and accept the responsibilities of leadership. Much of the students’ time will be structured with programs including interactive Leadership Labs, exciting guest speakers, and challenging mental and physical activities that will provide them with a chance to excel amongst and with their peers. The greatest benefit may come from sharing this experience with the more than 150 other outstanding young men and women selected from schools and organizations through Rotary District 7910 in Central Massachusetts.
Our Rotary Club is asking your help to spread the word to the young men and women who will benefit most from this experience. They will be selected by the Franklin Rotary first for leadership potential, second for good citizenship, third for their desire to attend the Conference and fourth for scholarship. These characteristics are listed in that order so that latent leaders are not overlooked because of grades. They are extremely important to keep in mind to ensure the success of the student’s experience and the entire program.
The only requirement is that in order to be nominated, the individual must be a student who is currently a Sophomore in high school and in the Franklin area. We send children to RYLA from Bellingham High, Franklin High, King Philip High, Medway High and Tri-County High.
Applications should be made e-mailed to Julie Rougeau at jrougeau@comcast.net no later than March 3, 2017.
Our club’s RYLA Selection Committee will then conduct interviews and select the students we will sponsor for RYLA.
For more information about RYLA or Rotary, visit us online at http://www.ryla7910.org/

Franklin Library: Gardening With Native Plants: why it matters
Gardening With Native Plants: why it matters
Event Date: Tuesday, February 28, 2017
6:30pm to 8:00pm
Led by Claudia Thompson of Grow Native Massachusetts
Learn about the importance of native plants to local ecosystems. The talk starts with the concept of co-evolution between plants and animals, then explains how to create a healthy habitat in our own gardens and managed landscapes. In between, we discuss the differences among native, naturalized, and invasive plants, and their effects on ecological communities.
We explore the food web that links plants to insects, to birds, wildlife, and humans — and give examples of “cool” ecosystem relationships.
A detailed case study illustrates the conversion of an urban garden from a conventional landscape to a largely native one, and the resulting impact on birds and wildlife. By the end of the program, you will “get” why this issue is so important and understand what you can do about it.
