Letter from the Superintendent

Catherine M. Carbone, Ed.D.

Superintendent of Schools

Dear BPS Family, I am very excited to share with you our district’s second annual report publication! This report highlights many of the accomplishments of our scholars and staff in the classroom, competition, and community throughout the school year.

It is important to evaluate our progress over the past school year, set new goals, and prioritize what is most important to our district every year. I would like to take a moment to revisit our BPS Equity through Excellence Framework and 2019-2024 District Priorities and Indicators of Success, which were developed in consultation with the BPS District Continuous Improvement Team. The strategic planning process for 2025-2030 is underway.

Our focus on knowing each scholar by name, strength, story, and need will help us create positive school and classroom learning environments in which students are supported and rise to clear and challenging expectations. The support of our families, teachers, and staff will continue to raise the bar for a well-rounded student experience, both inside and outside of our classrooms, and sustain our BPS legacy.

As we continue to move toward becoming a District Model of Excellence, we will continue to align all of our actions and innovations to the following District Priorities: • • • •

Cultivate and Inspire Talent Learner-Focused Practices Organizational and Operational Effectiveness Community Engagement and Partnerships

Within each priority, strategic actions have been identified, resulting in our Equity through Excellence Framework.

This framework serves as a guide, as it identifies best practices at the classroom, school, and district levels. These practices ensure that our graduates leave our district with the skills and dispositions necessary to be successful in their future academic and professional careers and lives. To monitor our progress and improve outcomes for all students, the Indicators of Success were established. These indicators are accompanied with yearly benchmarks based on historical data, which measure our progress across multiple dimensions.

As always, thank you for your continued support and we look forward to a fantastic 2023-2024 school year!

In partnership,

Catherine M. Carbone, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools

Reimagining BPS 2023

Introduction

The Reimagining BPS 2023 Plan strives to improve equity and efficiency across the district and ensure high quality education for all BPS students. The plan occurs in two phases over the next three to four years and will meet the following four BPS Board of Education goals established in March of 2020: 1. Renovate old and outdated schools.

A. Improve operational efficiency.

B. Improve instructional conditions for all students and staff.

C. Ensure equity for all students to attend wellappointed and safe schools.

2. Redistrict to create parity in class size and demographics.

A. Ensure an equitable, sustainably-sized, and structured school district through consideration of demographics and socio-economic status.

3. Adopt consistent grade configurations and instructional models across all schools aligned to the developmental plane of the child.

A. Expand opportunities for teachers to collaborate in teams and departments to ensure equitable and high quality instruction.

B. Consistently apply grade configurations aligned to an educational philosophy.

4. Increase access to full day pre-kindergarten programming.

During the 2022-2023 school year, the following aspects of the Reimagining BPS 2023 Plan occured: 1. BAIMS opened and welcomed middle (Grades 6-8) and high (Grades 9-12) school students in August of 2022.

2. Edgewood Elementary School closed in June of 2023 and students were redistricted for the start of the 2023-2024 school year.

3. Bristol Early Childhood Center pre-kindergarten students and school readiness programs became one program in the newly redesigned Edgewood Pre-Kindergarten Academy for the start of the 2023-2024 school year.

4. Additional changes to improve parity and enrollment balance were made to elementary and middle school attendance zones across the City of Bristol for the start of the 2023-2024 school year.

Northeast Middle School Construction Project

One of the primary goals of the Reimagining BPS 2023 Plan is to transition the school district to a consistent K-5, 6-8, and 9-12 grade configuration for all students.

In order to meet this goal, the district needs to build capacity to accommodate middle school students who currently attend Greene-Hills School (Grades K-8) and West Bristol School (Grades K-8). In June of 2022, Bristol Public Schools submitted a school construction grant application for a new and expanded Northeast Middle School.

This new school is currently planned to open for the start of the 2025-2026 school year (subject to change based on construction timelines). The building would have a larger student capacity than the existing building, allowing it to accommodate students from a larger attendance zone. Completion of the new Northeast Middle School will allow the district to enter Phase II of the Reimagining BPS 2023 Plan.

Phase I Boundaries

Phase I of the Reimagining BPS 2023 Plan will begin at the start of the 2023-2024 school year.

Recommended Plan Phase II

Phase II of the Reimagining BPS 2023 Plan will begin when the Northeast Middle School Construction Project is complete; tentatively scheduled at the start of the 2025-2026 school year. During Phase II, the following aspects will occur: 1. Northeast Middle School will open with a larger capacity.

2. Greene-Hills School and West Bristol School will transition from K-8 schools to K-5 schools creating a uniform grade configuration across all schools (K-5, 6-8, 9-12).

3. Additional K-5 students will shift into Greene-Hills School and West Bristol School, providing efficiency and parity across all elementary schools.

4. Middle school students from Greene-Hills School and West Bristol School will be reassigned to either Chippens Hill Middle School or Northeast Middle School.

5. Middle School attendance zones for Chippens Hill Middle School and Northeast Middle School will follow the high school boundaries for Bristol Central High School and Bristol Eastern High School to the greatest extent possible.

6. vv to improve parity and enrollment balance will be made to elementary (Grades K-5) attendance zones across the City of Bristol.

Redistricting maps for Phase II of the Plan are under construction and will be refined and released for public review and comment as we approach the completion of the Northeast Middle School Construction Project.

Ivy Drive was named a Connecticut School of Distinction. The Connecticut State Department of Education held a press conference at Ivy Drive for our district to share our best practices that resulted in some of our best performances ever on statewide measures. This recognition is attributed to our students, teachers, and administrators. A special thank you to our Office of Teaching and Learning for supporting us through a myriad of changes on our continuous improvement journey. Our collective efforts are observable in our student outcomes. We continue to prove the best and the brightest are right here in Bristol.

BPS Awarded Connecticut Grown for Connecticut Kids Grant Agriculture Commissioner Bryan Hurlburt announced that the Connecticut Department of Agriculture awarded 32 grants (72 applications) from the Connecticut Grown for Connecticut Kids Grant to develop and enhance farm-to-school programs. This is the second round of the pilot program, which was funded for two years through the American Rescue Plan Act and administered in collaboration with the Connecticut State Department of Education and the Connecticut Farm to School Collaborative. Bristol Public Schools was awarded $24,090 to pilot a new program. Seed-to-Table is an after school program that promotes basic gardening and cooking principles and skills. Principles include food safety, freshness, seasonality, and locality and some skills include garden plantings, care, and harvesting; cooking skills such as washing, peeling, and cutting; and cooking methods such as boiling, steaming, sautéing, and pan-roasting. Throughout the program, cooking lessons will be taught by local chefs.

The pilot program will be completed at Ivy Drive and Greene-Hills.

Founded in 1991, the Bristol Business Education Foundation (BEF) is a nonprofit organization led by community business leaders dedicated to supporting the mission of Bristol Public Schools.

The Foundation funds, promotes, and supports educational endeavors aimed at improving learning, achievement, skill development, creativity, and excellence in teaching.
