Summary

Principals and instructional leaders described family engagement projects (kindergarten pumpkin-carving, 3rd-grade reptile research, 5th-grade planet and alien project) and administrators said AI-survey results were distributed and will be reviewed at the next meeting.

Elementary Principal K. Loftus told the board the district is increasingly inviting parents and grandparents to school events and highlighted project-based learning across grades: kindergarten pumpkin-carving and 100th-day stations, a 3rd-grade reptile research project with nonfiction books and dioramas presented in a gallery walk, and a 5th-grade planetary research and creative 'Alien Project' with slide shows and descriptive paragraphs.

Director of Instructional Services B. Brown noted the Extended School Year (ESY) and a Summer Reading Program sponsored by SUNY Geneseo will run again, and the district is working on a Seal of Biliteracy. On technology and assessment, results from an AI survey were handed out; J. Back will present those findings at the next board meeting. Superintendent P. McGee said the Superintendent Conference Day emphasized AI and that C. Harris "demystified the concerns around AI."
