In work with our department chairperson representatives over the final months of the 2021-22 school year, in collaboration with our K-12 instructional council, and in our summer 2022 leadership institute, Brockport Central School District identified four priority areas to focus the building and district improvement plans across our district. Using those priorities to guide our work, the BHS Building Planning team has designed our building-wide Strategic Plan for 2022-23 with the identified goals below in each priority area.

District Strategic Plan Priority Areas

• District Priority 1: MTSS

BHS Goal: The district will implement consistent multi-tiered systems and structures that will support instructional practices as measured by data-based evidence within each building.

• District Priority 2: Innovative Practices

BHS Goal: The district will engage in innovative practices across all schools and departments.

• District Priority 3: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

BHS Goal: The district will identify and address needs within the school community resulting in awareness, acceptance, and inclusivity.

• District Priority 4: Climate and Culture

BHS Goal: The district will implement procedures and practices to promote a positive, engaging, and empowering climate and culture.

Over the course of the 2022-23 school year, our team will monitor or progress toward meeting these goals and adjust our plans accordingly. This is all part of the cycle of continual improvement and is our duty to our school and community. We appreciate your support in meeting these goals and are ready in all ways for your partnership in this work.

All, Halloween can be an exciting and fun holiday to celebrate together at school. However, we must be sure that all expressions of this holiday meet our guidelines and allow for the normal operation of the school day. Please review the guidelines below and ensure that and costume worn or brought to school meets these criteria. If you have questions, please contact me or your grade level administrator.

BHS Halloween Costume Guidelines

1. The costume should be appropriate for school and otherwise meet all expectations of our code of conduct.
2. Costumes that require carrying any extra and/or unsafe items such as skateboards, surfboards, or have accessories or “props” that resemble, simulate, or could be used as a weapon are prohibited.
3. Costumes should not reflect graphic violence or extreme blood and gore.
4. No full-face mask or pullover masks or hoods.
5. No excessive facial make-up that obscures your ability to be easily identified.
6. Costumes may not have parts that interfere with learning. This means no masks or costumes that restrict movement or vision, prevent sitting at desks, or prevent participation in physical education class. Costumes must not obstruct movement in the hallways.
7. Costumes cannot promote use of drugs, alcohol, or weapons of any kind.
8. All costumes must be sensitive to all religious and ethnic groups and free from any language or symbols that target or inappropriately identify groups of students.
9. Costumes should not include items with sound effects, lights or other components which would disrupt the classroom learning environment.

*If you are not sure the costume is appropriate – it probably is not.
