Superintendent Gormley releases updates for week of June 4, 2020

Updates include return to school task force, summer program updates, residency re-establishment, and more.

As we approach Milton High School Graduation this Sunday, June 7th, I want to recognize the Milton High School Class of 2020. Many of us have fond memories of the end of our senior year of high school and this year’s seniors have missed many of the traditions we hold dear. As much as we have celebrated them in new ways, we know it is a loss for them. I also know that there are exciting days ahead for these young adults as they begin the next chapter of their lives. They are engaged, passionate, empathetic young people – and exactly what the world needs right now. Along with the Milton Community, I look forward to celebrating them on Sunday during the MHS Graduation festivities.

Principal James Jette and the MHS administrative team have planned a day of celebration for our seniors, culminating in a MHS Class of 2020 Car Parade. Starting at 5:30 p.m. on June 7th, the Class of 2020 will proceed by car throughout the Town of Milton. Please see the route for the car parade in this link and celebrate with our seniors!

In advance of Graduation, please display Milton colors by decorating your door, fence or mailbox with red and white; display your Milton flag with pride; and wear red and white on Graduation Day to show your support.

On Sunday at 7:20 p.m., we are asking that Milton residents stand in front of their homes (practicing social distancing) and cheer for 20 seconds in honor of Milton High School’s Class of 2020.

Thank you to the MHS Boosters, MHS Back Stage Boosters, FAME, and the PTSFO for making the 2020 graduation celebrations so special.

Our Senior Awards and Scholarships have been made public, and are posted on our awards website. We’ve also posted Music Awards and Boosters Athletic Awards on the site. Please see the 2019-2020 Milton High School Award and Honors page here.

Congratulations to the Milton High School Class of 2020! We cannot wait to see where your future takes you. Milton is proud of you!

I would also like to call your attention to our important June 1, 2020 communication: A United Message of Commitment from MPS Leaders.

RETURN TO SCHOOL TASK FORCE

Last Call for Community Survey: The Return to School Task Force is hard at work, forming subcommittees to embark on the critical work of preparing to relaunch educational programming and return to school. The structure of the Task Force includes a Core Team, a strong and varied field of MPS and community volunteers, and Sub-Committees. Our mission is to advise the Superintendent of Schools on a comprehensive plan to relaunch programs offered by MPS in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic.

If you have any comments or questions about the work of the Return to School Task Force, please contact Karen McDavitt or Ada Rosmarin.

SUMMER PROGRAM UPDATES

Special Education: Thank you for your patience while we wait for direction from DESE regarding the provision of ESY *summer* special education services. As we continue to address school closure and the provision of services for summer, I wanted to share some updates.

As of today, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has continued to provide limited final guidance on how to “run” summer programs for students in special education. They are advising us to generally plan for remote summer service, but recognize that we will have additional guidance next week which may include other options.

In an effort to integrate parent and family feedback into our planning, as we gain final guidance from DESE, please take a moment to complete the survey linked here. If you have trouble accessing this link, send me an email and I will send you direct access.

It is my hope DESE will provide final guidance in the coming days so that we can finalize our programs and efficiently share this guidance with families. Your input on this survey will help with our final plans. Your participation is greatly appreciated.

Susan Maselli, MS Ed., BCBA, LABA, Administrator for Pupil Personnel Services [email protected]; 617-696-4470 x 5572

Academic Programs: MHS Bridge Program, Calculus Project, and MHS Credit Recovery Courses will be running virtually this year. Information regarding elementary and middle school virtual academic programs will be published next week.

Milton Summer Enrichment: Thank you for your patience as we have navigated the new guidelines and what that means for summer programming here in Milton. With local health department guidance still encouraging social distancing, it is apparent to us that gathering our outstanding group of MSE students will not be possible this summer. Therefore, we are canceling Milton Summer Enrichment for summer 2020. We are incredibly sorry to disappoint the students, families, Red Shirts and teachers with this news. MSE is a hallmark of summer in the Milton Community and we cannot wait to have everyone back in 2021!

With gratitude, Cat DesRoche and Ellen Lohan, MSE Directors

Camp Cunningham: Milton Community Schools would like to thank you for your patience as we all navigate through uncertain times. Due to safety limitations imposed by the government and health officials, we have determined that we can’t provide the same experience we had originally planned for Camp Cunningham. We have therefore made the difficult decision to cancel Camp Cunningham this summer. In our decision-making process, we acknowledged that with student and staff safety as the number one priority, MCS is not able to deliver a safe full day camp experience within the capacities and timeframe available to us. We are incredibly sorry to disappoint the students, families, and all the staff with this news. We appreciate how valuable Camp Cunningham is to the Milton Public Schools community and we cannot wait to have everyone back in Summer 2021!

Martha Sandoval
Milton Community Schools Director, Camp Cunningham Director

Congratulations to MHS junior Sam Higgins who last weekend won the 2020 Classical Singer Competition, Classical High School Division!

The Classical Singer Competition is an international event sponsored by Classical Singer Magazine, an initiative of the New York Opera to promote and support vocal artists. Monetary awards are given for first, second, and third place winners in Classical and Musical Theatre Divisions for high school, university, and emerging or pre-professional singers. Earlier this month, Sam Higgins entered the Classical High School Division, and last night received the First Place Award.

At MHS, Sam Higgins is best known for his academic excellence and participation in orchestra. Sam is the leader of numerous chamber groups and has performed in the Milton community during his three years at Milton High School. He is currently a member of the Milton High School Tri-M Music Honor Society Chapter, and this year he participated in the Massachusetts Music Educators Association All State Orchestra.

MHS Orchestra Director Debra Miller shares that: As the leader of the MHS Orchestra, Sam embodies humility, respect, and humor along with his exceptional skill and musicality. As Sam is “beyond his years” with regard to musicianship and technical expertise, and his peers look to him for guidance in navigating difficult orchestral repertoire. He is always willing to assist in conducting sectionals as well as full rehearsals on occasion. It is a great pleasure to teach Sam and hear all that he contributes to each orchestra rehearsal. We appreciate and value his dedication and commitment to the Milton High School String Program; Sam is a role model for all!

From MHS Principal James Jette: Not only is Sam a talented singer and valued member of the strings ensemble, he is a very intelligent student as well. Since he’s been at Milton High Sam’s done exceptionally well academically, managing a rigorous course load in addition to traveling, and competitions. When you see Sam, you see an individual with a great smile and positive demeanor. He is the epitome of what we all hope for in a high school student: caring, passionate, motivated, respectful, determined and is constantly challenging himself in and out of the classroom.

Very recently, Sam was named a 2020 YoungArts Winner by the National YoungArts Foundation, and in September, his performance of Handel’s aria Dove sei, amato bene from ‘Rodelinda’ will be featured on NPR’s “From the Top.” After yesterday’s competition, Sam may add 2020 Classical Singer Competition First Place Winner to his impressive resume. Sam’s award-winning performance of ‘Mandoline’ by French composer, Gabriel Fauré can be viewed at this link. Congratulations to Sam!

During this time of remote learning, Mrs. Kempf’s 4th graders have been working hard, taking on new and different roles and responsibilities that add so much to who they are as people and students.

Families recently shared quotes about how their student is contributing at home – to their own health, to the family and to their community. Kudos to these 4th graders!

  • He has tried to stay active doing push-ups, running and biking.
  • He decided he was going to improve his typing skills so has been practicing every day and is aiming for 35 words per minute.
  • We are extremely proud that she has been able to navigate her way around all of the remote schooling in a pretty calm manner.
  • She has independently managed all of her own learning every single day in the midst of a very busy household.
  • Her creativity as a writer has also shone through as she has used this extra time at home to enhance her observation and storytelling.
  • With everyone in the family either virtually working or in virtual school, we all have to contribute in ways we didn’t before.
  • Carrying in groceries, helping to make cookies, practicing piano and saxophone regularly are just a few examples.
  • He has fine-tuned and leveled up his responsibility skills, and we couldn’t be prouder.
  • She also lets us know when she needs a break or needs to just change it up for a little while, so we are also glad that she’s still trusting her instincts about what’s best for her learning style.
  • She has shown great teaching skills, patience and understanding with her younger brother, as she helps with home schooling while her mom is also working online from home

This week our elementary scientists have been hard at work. In Kindergarten, students studied the impact of leaving water in a sunny location and shady location. Grade 1 students investigated with flashlights to see how light interacts with different objects in their home and learned the vocabulary words transparent, translucent, and opaque. Our Grade 5 students are working on a unit called ‘Mixtures and Solutions” and planned and carried out an investigation to see how water interacts with flour, baking soda, sugar and salt.

A NOTE FROM THE NURSE

The Milton Public Schools is fully anticipating students will be wearing face masks when school reopens. Here is a great video from PBS geared toward elementary students about stopping the spread of germs and the importance of wearing a mask.

Reminder to Grade 5 families- The Growth and Development Program is available online at this link.

COUNSELORS CORNER

Each week, one of our MPS Counselors will share information or resources. Last week, Judy Bygate, MHS School Psychologist, wrote to the MPS community. This week, Myriam Francoeur, Pierce Adjustment Counselor, checks in below.

My heart is both heavy and restless about what is going on in this world. I know a lot of you are hurting right now and I recognize that this may be especially true for our students, staff and families of color. To all our Milton students, families and staff, you matter and you are important to us.

Our country is experiencing difficult times right now because of the pandemic, the economy and the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, as well as the peaceful protests followed by the riots. We continue to be inundated with news and social media feeds of the anger of many, over another killing of a Black man at the hands of the police.

As parents, we worry and want to protect our children and can find it hard to talk about these complex events and big topics (relating to race, police brutality, and civil disobedience). Experts say that it is important to address the death of George Floyd, race, protests and riots head on because it affirms what children are sensing and experiencing. Children are watching you and they are much more aware of what we give them credit for.

It is important to take care of yourself first, by checking in with yourself and to see how you are doing. Please be cautious about continuously watching tv, social media feeds. This continuous exposure of these complex and traumatic events via our phones and television can increase our level of stress. It is important to acknowledge how you are feeling and be able to manage your own feelings so that you can think and act clearly.

One suggestion might be that you think about what you are going to say to your children. Take into consideration the developmental age of your children, their personality and their temperament. Be clear, direct and factual in your delivery.

Another suggestion is to actively listen to your children. Ask your children how they are feeling about what happened to George Floyd? What are they seeing in social media and the news? Is there anything else that you want to talk about? What are your feelings about what you have read or seen? Please keep in mind that their feelings might be influenced by their friends. Take a moment to validate how your children are feeling. Do not try to fix it or judge it. Just listen.

You can start having regular and ongoing conversations about race. Talking about race can be difficult, sensitive and sometimes messy. It does not have to be perfect and it’s okay that you don’t know everything and you make mistakes. If you don’t know, do your research and use resources before asking questions. Start by talking about racial differences in a positive and relatable way. Acknowledge that racism exists and that people are treated differently and unfairly because of the color of their skin. Be curious and intentional.

I encourage you to create a safe space where you can have open discussions with your children.

Together we will get through this. Our history tells us that we have been through terror and trauma before. As school counselors, we are here to serve and support you, your children and our school community during this difficult time.
