Meeting Minutes for January 28th
In attendance: Deb, Joanie, Stacy, Darby, Kim, Karen, Sue, Mario, Patty

K - 1. Pencils were an issue, but we did get those this week.
2. Good Hope is still parking at the end of our parking lot.... we need those spaces for us, support staff who come in later then teachers have to "make" parking spots. 3. District needs to be sure to plow the whole back playground... even down by our doors. It is a fire exit and we need more than a walking path to get in and out. We understand the sun does not get on those spots, but it needs to be plowed. 4. Please do not have out math home work be ordered in the books again. We want to be able to pick and choose and not have to tear them out of the books (teachers do it.. it's too hard for our kids to do it) 5. What can be done so that we can save our field trip forms and then just fix what needs fixed. That is a lot of typing that we have to do and a waste of time to retype it each year. 6. Why is is that the Valentine Day activities are on Fridays and on Feb. 14th.? The teachers are in charge of the parties and activities.... we in kgarten do ours on the 14th or close to it when it falls on a weekend....

A) Why is AIMSWeb right after the break? I think it would be beneficial for the testing to start about a week after students get back and accustomed to the routines of the classroom before assessing them to get a better image of their abilities. B) Why can teachers not assign their own subs to Aesop. I tried to get a sub and my top five subs did not get any email or notification. Another sub had gotten the job before they even knew what was going on. If we have an agreement with a sub we know will get the job done, I feel we should be able to assign them the job. C) The heat feels like it is being turned off as early as 4:30. Anyone else feel like that? D) Parking- Good Hope is starting to take over by parking in the third row of Hampden parking. E) Laptops in carts are not being plugged in and are not being taken care of. There are about 5 laptops that do not even turn on becuase they were not plugged in. I usually send one student to make sure they are all plugged in and that the cords are not sticking out.

Patty -

 * ===As of now, Feburary 8th is the 100th day of school. Do we want to do anyting fun or special as an entire school? - No, let's just do grade level activities and recognize the day on WHAM. Teachers - please send photos to Patty for the newsletter or office slide===
 * I called Anna Maria Enders to make her aware of the supply shortages. She found out that pencils were ordered before Christmas and glue sticks have arrived. I told her about crayons and erasers being low so she could contact Bonnie Rutz in the business office. Do not ask parents to send in supplies.
 * ===Monday, February 7th Faculty Meeting will be Math Expressions team meetings about student leaders.===
