Approval of

Reports:
·
Service Hours: please report those on the roll
·
Treasurer: See report.
We are doing well. More came in
that went out.
·
Admin: Nothing
·
Membership: 225 members - extend contest through March
·
Parent Teacher Conference: Lines were too long which
angered many parents. Suggestion was made to move conferences back to gym. That will give teachers more accountability
to stay on time. It was mentioned that
the SCC's getting ready for conferences flyer may have contributed to the long
lines. It was too much for both sides to bring to a 3 minute conference. Do we
want to have a PTSA table at February Conferences? No if it is still in the houses. Maybe if we are in the gym. It is hard to get people to sit at the table.
·
Cafe Zapus: We did not meet their $350 limit so we
didn't make any money. There was
confusion as to which location and we didn't advertise very well. Others Cons: It is really expensive, many
kids don't like to eat there, eat in only and the dining room is small. Maybe it is not a good fit for our school.
·
Battle of the Books: Kick off went well. The next meeting is November 16th from 2:30
to 3:30pm. One more helper is
needed. Kim volunteered to help. ELA
teachers have been very supportive and helpful.
We will do a mini battle in December after school, date TBA. Eastmont has contacted us and finished the
paper to start a program as well. If
they can get it together, maybe a battle between the schools can be done in the
spring. We have 12 strong teams compared
to 7 last year.
·
Student Committee: Last activity was human checkers on
the new board in the cafeteria. It was
chaotic. Next activity will be prep for
the Gloves Service Drive. It will be on
November 12th and we will make posters and decorate boxes. Advertizing will kick off Nov 18th. The drive will run from Nov 30th to Dec
4th. A box will go in each grade house
on each floor. Talked about a prize for
the winning grade/team. Talked about the
need for a traveling trophy for this purpose.
·
Memory Book: Dr Hart reported that the IT department
is still working on the skipple app's approval.
As soon as that is in place, we will roll that out to students and
families to start using to collect pictures for the memory book. We asked about
a student club to take pictures and help with online editing and we were told
to hold off. Dr Hart will check and
see what happened to the cameras purchased last year to use for this year. The book is up to 66 pages and a cost of
$16.13. So we will charge $17. Dr Hart has made the stipulation that the
memory book not be sent for final printing until she approves it. Julie will drop the student pictures into the
online software and will then know a final page count. Julie would like to start selling books in
January both at the school and online.
·
Reflections: Nov 12th deadline. We have 3 entries so far. One of the cluster teachers would like to
have each of her students turn something in.
Kelly asked that an email be sent out through skyward about the
deadline. Dr Hart said that could be
done.
·
Fundraiser: Will go out next week. Goal is $10 per student for a $9000 goal.
