UPCOMING EVENTS
Last week I shared some challenging updates regarding a deployment of secondary staff to elementary in-person CARES classrooms. While we remain focused on our priorities of instruction and programming for our students, we must also be vigilant to the proposed loss of resources and its impact on our school. As discussed, we stand to have 17 positions, 4 full time and 13 part-time deployed, from all administrative and support departments of our school, including Assistant Principals, Climate staff and Deans, Office Staff, Coordinators, Attendance counselors and Tech staff. This translates to a loss of $1,022,000 in our budget. human resources. A complete description of the impact of these losses is attached here. Needless to say, our capacity to function at our current level will be decimated, with long term effects on student achievement and overall school progress.
As a school system and school committed to equity and anti-racism, it is incumbent upon us to advocate for equity for our students, our community and ourselves. There is no equity or anti-racism without advocacy. Some secondary and elementary principals have gotten together, and analyzed the issues of inequity that will arise with the current elementary reopening plan and deployment of secondary staff. Although the District plan says it’s intent is prioritizing the most vulnerable, in fact it is not. Some elementary schools are seeing that the selection lottery did not result in the neediest students being selected. The current last minute design for staffing the elementary CARES classrooms with secondary staff, is flawed and discriminatory in that it pits elementary and secondary schools and students against one another for scarce resources. This will result in the effectiveness of the secondary school virtual program being crippled, the proposed in person Student Support Centers will be eliminated, and secondary schools will not be able to return in person this school year (although no one will state this officially). No one argues that younger learners need to be in school, and they are vulnerable; however they are not more vulnerable nor do they have a greater right to an adequate education, by virtue of their age. The case can be made that an affluent elementary student, from a two parent home, currently on or above grade level, is much less vulnerable that a ninth grade student who is SPED, or a Language Learner, and reading at a third grade level. By virtue of his or her age and grade, this student is being denied an opportunity for more appropriate instruction in a virtual setting, or an in person instruction or experience.
With that in mind, we are calling on all staff, parents, students, and others who are in agreement with our position, to make their voices heard with the Chancellor, Mayor and all elected officials. Please refer to the attached document above for specifics on the impact on CHEC. This will be shared with parents via robo call. We will also plan for an advisory lesson or circle to share this information with students. We will discuss next steps in more detail at a special ALT meeting on Wednesday at 3:00 pm.
Thank you all for your support and advocacy during this critical moment! Together we can fight for equity for all of our students and schools! El pueblo unido, jamas sera vencido!
As we live through the pandemic, and the ongoing fight for racial justice and equity, it is clear that the extent to which all of our students are prepared to succeed in college and civic life, is our single most important consideration. Being prepared to succeed in college requires that our students have a clear idea of what career they want to pursue, of their career choices, and of the college that will be a match for them. It is no longer possible to obtain a job which affords one protection and flexibility during a pandemic, without significant post secondary education after high school. The statement which one often hears, “College is not for everyone,” simply cannot apply to any of our students. College must be for everyone, so that everyone has an equal chance to enter a career where they can thrive, and have protections on their job. College can be for two years, four years, 8 years or more, it can be community college, Ivy League, and everything in between. The key is for our students to explore their career goals, find the colleges that will be a match for those goals, and develop a plan to reach them.
This is where our Advisory program, our Guidance Program and our College and Career Program come into play. All adults in our building are advisors. We have the structure and opportunity to develop a deep relationship in advisory, and have in depth conversations with students about their goals and dreams. We can then use the information, resources and personal attention provided by our College and Career Coordinator, DCCAP advisor, and Guidance Counselors to ensure that every single student, ALL students, are prepared to succeed in college.
This week, we will be launching a tool called the Guide to Graduation, which provides a road map for students. 12th graders will receive theirs this week, and other grades will receive them later in the year. We are continually updating the Advisory curriculum to personalize the college and career guidance to our students. Every Advisor plays a critical role in this journey. Thank you for all you do!

WE HAVE A RECOGNITION!
Thank you to Mr. Rayamajhi and Mr. Tobias from Mr. Pinto’s Spanish Heritage Class
On Wednesday, October 14th, in the context of Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations, our 4th Period Spanish Heritage class participated in a virtual Author Talk organized by the Latin American Youth Center and DCPS World Languages Office.
WE HAVE A RECOGNITION!
Our students engaged in a panel discussion with Erminia, Rosa and April, three of the authors of the book Voces sin Fronteras, a collection of short stories written by teenagers that emigrated to the US. They mentioned that they recognized themselves in their stories and that the book inspired them to use comic and writing as a way to express their emotions and feelings. I also had the opportunity to lead one of the small discussion groups created after the Author Talk.
I want to use this message to thank Pankaj and Mr. Tobias for their assistance in book distribution. You were very helpful.
Best,
Mr. Pinto
WE HAVE A RECOGNITION!

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE DC OFFICE OF THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION (OSSE)
Good Day CHEC Educators,
The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) is collaborating with the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) to monitor compliance with the mandatory youth behavioral health training for educators. DBH provides this youth behavioral health training at https://supportdcyouth.kognito.com District law mandates that all public and public charter school teachers and principals complete a behavioral health training once every two years (D.C. Law 14-56; DC Official Code § 7-1131.17(b)(1)).
Those who completed the trainings in calendar year 2020 do not need to retake the youth mental health trainings this fall. However, all new and returning building administrators and teachers who completed prior to January 1, 2020 must complete the 3 required modules by December 11, 2020. This calendar year will reset the compliance cycle so that all DC administrators and teachers will be required to complete on the same two-year cycle moving forward. Compliance tracking is the responsibility of building administrators.
BELL LIBRARY UPDATE:

Eury comes to the Bronx as a girl haunted. Haunted by losing everything in Hurricane Maria--and by an evil spirit, Ato. She fully expects the tragedy that befell her and her family in Puerto Rico to catch up with her in New York. Yet, for a time, she can almost set this fear aside, because there's this boy . . .
Pheus is a golden-voiced, bachata-singing charmer, ready to spend the summer on the beach with his friends, serenading his on-again, off-again flame. That changes when he meets Eury. All he wants is to put a smile on her face and fight off her demons. But some dangers are too powerful for even the strongest love, and as the world threatens to tear them apart, Eury and Pheus must fight for each other and their lives.
Tor.com has the first chapters of new her young adult novel, Never Look Back, a retelling of the Greek myth Orpheus and Eurydice set in the Bronx, New York.
Entertainment Weekly has the exclusive preview of the cover and excerpt Never Look Back.

Thank you for your support of our library programs.

ACCESS for ELL’s, ELLEVATION, and English Language Learners
Last year’s ACCESS testing for ELL’s was interrupted by the COVID 19 shut down, however some students were able to finish all or part of the assessment. As of September 29, these results will be on Ellevation. Please check ELLEVATION for your students, and you will find personalized activities aligned to their language needs, by domain.
As distance learning becomes the new norm for students across the country, a lot of families are playing an increased role in the day-to-day education of their child(ren).
The home-school connections added to the Ellevation Distance Learning activities allow educators to engage family members to share in the learning process.
Check out this just released instructional activity that allows multilingual learners to benefit from educational opportunities at home.
Sincerely,
Your Ellevation Team

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
The Open Goal Project would like to announce its first NCAA Division 1 student athlete … a 5’3” freshman from Bell Multicultural High School in DC ... #22 for James Madison University’s women’s soccer, Ariana Reyes!
When the Open Goal Project was created five years ago, they worked to integrate players from DC into the youth travel soccer landscape. One of those players was the supremely talented Ariana Reyes, and the Open Goal Project wanted her to have every possible opportunity to grow with the beautiful game.
Working with Ariana and others to give them the opportunities they deserved, the Project began to understand the obstacles that were preventing players with such great potential from participating in the first place. Realizing the lack of opportunity was so widespread, we knew a program was necessary to affect positive change for talented player like Ariana who had been overlooked and left on the sidelines. Heartful congratulations to Ms. Reyes!
