Impacts of COVID. 19 on your LEA: Please describe the areas that have been most impacted by the coronavirus on your LEA. What has been done to determine the strategies that are needed to mitigate the effects of the pandemic? Please provide any baseline data and stakeholder feedback collected to show the impacts of COVID-19. Beehive Academy has analyzed the data and reports it has to identify the gaps and the needs of its students right from the beginning of the pandemic. The needs and the impact areas are vast but we will continue to focus on the most important ones that we can improve. The technology infrastructure and connectivity was an issue since the devices and wifi technologies were not up to date. The overall technology upgrades, new device and tools needs and renewals present main technology challenges. The hybrid model of instruction has helped our students to be on a schedule and structured instruction however not all students were at the place where they should be since some of them needed more intense support, coaching and mentoring. Especially, students who are from underserved communities, students who have disabilities, students who are English learners and students who are at the risk of failure were impacted the most. Their academic needs and services should be a priority. All students had some gaps of academic learning and the plans should include all while giving more emphasis and priorities to the more vulnerable groups of the students. Students and staff members all had difficult times that impacted their social, emotional and mental health. Most people are going through the travma of some sort and they all need social, emotional and behavioral support. More mental health services will be needed to support them. The facility, infrastructure and sanitary measures should be reevaluated and the needs should be included in the plan. Beehive Academy sends the regular surveys to its students, parents and teachers to identify the needs and trends while planning for its plans and programs. All the stakeholders survey results were analyzed and the results were shared with all the stakeholders. Several Stakeholders meetings were held to have inputs, discussions, and develop the draft plans that can be approved by the school board. The plans were communicated with all and they all had a chance to contribute and the plans were developed by the collective mind. All existing data, reports and other inputs were analyzed and shared as well.

Beehive Academy ● Loss learning ○ Summer School will be provided for K−5 students to support and address loss learning. Acadience data for ELA will be used to determine placement in summer school. A targeted Tier III program will be purchased to meet the learning loss of our students who performed below grade level. ○ SPED− money was allocated to pay for a SPED coach and SEL curriculum. ● Mental Health- Panorama survey given students and staff. The results of this data suggested additional support was necessary. Two LSCWs will be hired to support this area of concern due to Covid 19 and other factors. ● Technology for hybrid teaching and learning. ○ Online support for 9−12th grades via Edgenuity for original credit and credit recovery. ○ Chromebook access to support one to one to allow students to access curriculum using Canvas. ● Classroom environment ○ In Box Elder School District, we have seven secondary schools: Two traditional high schools, one alternative high school, two 8th & 9th grade middle schools and two 6th & 7th grade intermediate schools. One of the middle schools already has analyzed the data and reports it has to identify the gaps air conditioning and the needs alternative high school has air conditioning. We have determined that adding Air Conditioning to the remaining five secondary schools would greatly reduce the possibility of its students right from covid−29 spread and increase the beginning learning of the pandemicstudents in those buildings. The needs XXXX’s mission statement is: “We will ensure high levels of learning for all students''. In some of these secondary schools there are two floors. Temperatures in August, September, and May sometimes reach into the impact areas are vast but we will continue to focus on 90s in the most important ones classrooms. We do have air exchange systems that we can improvelike to run in the early morning hours to pull cool air in. The technology infrastructure In the afternoon hours when temperatures are in the 90s outside it is unwise to pump the hot air in. So, in the long run we do not get the air exchange that is necessary to reduce cold & flu viruses let alone covid−19. Air Conditioning with filtration is the best way to combat this issue and connectivity was an issue since the devices and wifi technologies were not up to date. The overall technology upgrades, new device and tools needs and renewals present main technology challenges. The hybrid model of instruction has helped allow our students the opportunity to be on a schedule comfortable and structured instruction however not all students were at the place where they should be since some of them needed more intense support, coaching and mentoring.

What has been done to determine the strategies that are needed to mitigate the effects of the pandemic? Please provide any baseline data and stakeholder feedback collected to show the impacts of COVID-19. Beehive Academy Merit has analyzed been affected by the data coronavirus in a variety of significant ways. It has become necessary to provide online instruction to our students. Even students who attend classes in-person have needed online support when they have become sick or required to quarantine. Many students have missed classroom time due to illness and reports quarantine requirements. It has been challenging to keep the school sanitized and up to CDC and local health department recommendations. Transportation has also been affected, as it has been difficult to identify the gaps and the needs of its keep students right from the beginning of the pandemicsocially distanced. The needs and the impact areas are vast but we will continue to focus on the most important ones that we can improve. The technology infrastructure and connectivity was an issue since the devices and wifi technologies were not up to date. The overall technology upgradesFinally, new device and tools needs and renewals present main technology challenges. The hybrid model of instruction Covid-19 has helped our students to be on been a schedule and structured instruction however not all students were at the place where they should be since some of them needed more intense support, coaching and mentoring. Especially, students who are from underserved communities, students who have disabilities, students who are English learners and students who are at the risk of failure were impacted the most. Their academic needs and services should be a priority. All students had some gaps of academic learning and the plans should include all while giving more emphasis and priorities to the more vulnerable groups of the students. Students and staff members all had difficult times that impacted their social, significant emotional and mental healthstrain on students and staff alike. Most people We have had many discussions with board members, staff, parents, and the local health department to consider how best to approach these challenges. We have reviewed guidelines and requirements from USBE, the CDC, and the local health department. Merit had 89 students taking online courses last school year. These students made up 20% of our student population this past school year. We had never previously offered online courses to students, and this has been a major challenge for our students and staff to adapt to. After conversations with our custodial team, we determined that a big challenge in keeping the school clean and sanitized was our school’s carpets. Presently, all of the hallways and most classrooms are going through the travma of some sort carpeted. They are old carpets and they all need socialare difficult to clean. This has made it difficult for us to keep the school sanitized, emotional and behavioral supportit has become a health hazard for our staff and students. More mental health services The school board has repeatedly voiced concerns to the school administration regarding technology supported learning and providing sufficient support to staff and students. After consulting with H-Wire, a third party IT group, we have come up with potential solutions to address online learning. Merit will be needed purchasing new computers, Chromebooks to support them. The facility, infrastructure and sanitary measures should be reevaluated and the needs should be included in the plan. Beehive Academy sends the regular surveys achieve a 1:1 student to its students, parents and teachers to identify the needs and trends while planning for its plans and programs. All the stakeholders survey results were analyzed and the results were shared with all the stakeholders. Several Stakeholders meetings were held to have inputs, discussionsChromebook ratio, and develop Audio Enhancement technology to communicate with classrooms to enhance social distancing practices. With many students online and many students missing classes, we have also identified a need to purchase a better Student Information System to track attendance, behavior, and student progress. This system will also help us ensure that students are not missing instruction and that they receive additional support when they are unable to attend due to effects of the draft plans that can be approved coronavirus. This system will also better collect and analyze student data to help drive decision making by the school boardadministration going forward. The plans were communicated with all school transportation team recommended purchasing an additional bus to be able to adequately address the transportation needs of our students. We have a growing school population and they all had a chance an increased demand for buses. By purchasing an additional bus, we will be able to contribute maintain school operations and more adequately distance our students while riding the plans were developed by the collective mind. All existing data, reports and other inputs were analyzed and shared as wellbuses.

What has been done to determine the strategies that are needed to mitigate the effects of the pandemic? Please provide any baseline data and stakeholder feedback collected to show the impacts of COVID-19. Beehive Academy has analyzed In light of the monumental task that teachers had with the obstacles to learning that students faced during the past couple of years with COVID-19, it is no surprise that there are deficits in learning that we are working to correct. This is evidenced by a reduction in proficiency in most grade levels in math from the previous year to the 2020-2021 school year. For example, the change in proficiency based on our EOY benchmarks (MyMath K-5, Glencoe Math 6-8) from the 2019-2020 school year to the 2020-2021 school year shows a shift from an average of 66% proficiency to 58% proficiency. In the area of literacy, while we saw some growth in most grades, our XXX to EOY data comparison from both school years showed that we need to refocus on foundational skills in a way that we teach critical skills in the correct order (for example: Accuracy before Fluency) to strengthen our emerging readers in a way that they are ready to handle more difficult text. The reading gets more complex beginning in 2nd grade so providing as solid a foundation as early as possible (K-1 grades) is critical. Many of our students who are currently K-1, have minimal “usual” experience in a school setting and reports it has are therefore in need of better targeted exposure to reading. Our current efforts to mitigate the academic impacts of the pandemic are centered around our staff becoming experts at differentiation so that teachers are able to quickly identify the gaps discrepancies and know how best to meet the needs of its students right from the beginning of the pandemiceach individual student. The needs We have and the impact areas are vast but we will continue to focus on host professional development opportunities and provide outlets for collaboration for our staff so they have what they need to become expert at this. We are mindful that the most important ones that we can improveimpacts of our work to minimize the spread of COVID-19 and keep kids in school is worth every effort. The technology infrastructure and connectivity was an issue since the devices and wifi technologies were not up We will continue to date. The overall technology upgrades, new device and tools needs and renewals present main technology challenges. The hybrid model of instruction has helped put our best efforts toward creating a school where our students feel safe, are able to thrive socially and emotionally, and have every opportunity to be on a schedule and structured instruction however not all students were at the place where they should be since some of them needed more intense support, coaching and mentoring. Especially, students who are from underserved communities, students who have disabilities, students who are English learners and students who are at the risk of failure were impacted the most.

Please provide any baseline data and stakeholder feedback collected to show the impacts of COVID-19. Beehive Academy has analyzed Even though we were able to hold school through the entire 20-21 school year, there were noticeable losses. Student absenteeism was extremely high because of quarantines and encouraged absence for other illnesses. Though we were able to provide online instruction for all students whose situations necessitated it, many students struggled. Failing grades skyrocketed and we implemented several measures to assist these students with XXXXX II funds. Remediation during and after the school day through the final quarter of 20-21, extended and expanded summer school, and additional planning time for teachers have all had a positive impact on student outcomes. As we initiated discussions for XXXXX III funds, these rose to the top of the list of measures that have made a difference for student outcomes. Using these we were able to raise several hundred grades to a passing level. With the planning time, teachers were tasked with evaluating student data for their 20-21 students as well as their 21-22 students. They then were able to meet with the students’ former or future teachers to prepare a plan for their instruction in the current year. We have also used these funds to provide professional development into effective collaboration to better assist our students. Again, the feedback was to use these tools as we move forward, and reports it has they are listed as priorities. Social Emotional health of students continues to identify be a major focus. Our administrators, parents, and board have seen the gaps need to assist families and students through this difficult time and beyond. We have prioritized social workers/mental health monitors with a portion of the needs of its students right from the beginning of funds to work with students, staff, and families who have been adversely affected by the pandemic. Technology is an ongoing concern. The needs pandemic has taken a toll on our devices and it has been readily apparent to our education community that we need an ongoing supply of devices coming into our system. Chromebooks and protective cases are the result of this need. We have struggled with quality of instruction for at-home students, and with the requirements of social spacing in the schools and classrooms. Contact tracing is also a major concern for our schools and the impact areas are vast but we will continue to focus on the most important ones that we can improve. The technology infrastructure and connectivity was an issue since the devices and wifi technologies were not up to date. The overall technology upgrades, new device and tools needs and renewals present main technology challenges. The hybrid model wellness of instruction has helped our students and staff. We are upgrading two technology systems that will help with tracing, with lesson delivery to be our on-line students, and with communication to students in our socially distanced and often masked classrooms. Cameras on our schools and grounds with tracing capabilities, cameras and sound systems in our classrooms that will aid in lesson delivery for in-class and on-line instruction came out of our discussions and are on our priorities. Finally, we have determined to purchase touchless bottle refilling stations so students do not have to come in contact with a schedule and structured instruction however not all students were at the place where they should be since some of them needed more intense support, coaching and mentoringfountain. Especially, students who are from underserved communities, students who These items have disabilities, students who are English learners and students who are at the risk of failure were impacted the most. Their academic needs and services should be a priority. All students had some gaps of academic learning and the plans should include all while giving more emphasis and priorities to the more vulnerable groups of the students.

The facility, infrastructure and sanitary measures should be reevaluated and the needs should be included school level discussions in the plan. Beehive Academy sends the regular surveys spring with faculty, student and parent groups, they moved to its studentsour board meetings with public comment opportunities given on possible priorities, parents they were reported in our local newspapers with an invitation to make suggestions and teachers to identify the needs and trends while planning for its plans and programs. All the stakeholders survey results were analyzed and the results were shared with all the stakeholders. Several Stakeholders meetings were held to have inputs, discussionscomments, and develop the draft plans that can be approved have been reviewed by the school board.
