ANNOUNCEMENTS S. Whitesides
W.
Muth
Mrs. Whitesides
called the meeting to order at 3:35. Mr. Muth
explained the
Code White situation that was called today.
Detective Lynn Brown called the office
to ask that we
lock down as
there was a report of a person with a knife in a
neighborhood
near the school. Evidently, there had
been a
domestic
dispute. The Sheriff’s Department also
called to
inform us of
the situation. The person of interest was
apprehended
quickly by the Sheriff’s dept.
Mr. Muth and
Ms. Boyd quickly walked the campus, and
there were no
children or staff observed outside. The
partial
lockdown
means teachers continue to teach, but all doors
are locked
and no one is to be outside. Mr. Muth and Ms.
Boyd were very pleased with the quick
response of our staff
and our
students. Everyone took the Code White
seriously,
and performed
their duties in a professional manner.
2) APPROVAL
OF MINUTES 9/5/07 S.

to the minutes. Mrs. Phillips
made a motion
to approve, and Mrs. Susan Brown seconded.
The minutes were approved.
3) 2007-2008
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN W. Muth
The school improvement plan is
submitted every year at this
time. After draft is complete, a copy will be given
to the SAC for
approval. After looking at the test score results, as
well as AYP, we
will be
listing our goals for this year. A
subcategory to add this year,
will be
working with our Hispanic students to try to increase their gains.
There will be much more emphasis this
year with our entire staff to
understand our
goals for this year. We will also strive
to maintain
or better our
science scores, as well as increasing our writing scores.
4) FACILITIES
UPDATE W.
Muth
Storm damage to our telephone and
cable systems
is being
completed. Our TV telecasts are back up,
and most
telephones are
working. The damage to portable 10 has
been fixed.
A bus hit a concrete piling in the
parking lot, and it will be
replaced. Laura Steber was
concerned about the odor in the
Kindergarten wing
bathrooms. Mr. Muth will check with Ruby
to see if
there is something that can be done.
5) COMMUNITY
SERVICE PROJECT W.
Muth
To become a 5-Star school, we need a
community service
project. Please think about what we might like to do,
and
maybe we can
get started earlier. Mrs. Ortlieb’s stepson did
receive his
boxes and was very appreciative. Mr. Muth would
like to focus
on a child oriented service if possible.
Mr. Muth
would like to
have the project selected before winter break.
5) PTO
UPDATE PTO
Rep
PTO is moving forward with the
carnival. It will be held
From 5:00-8:30 on October 26th. Team
leaders should have
information. Entertainment book sale is over and made
approximately
$4800 profit. The sale went over
projection. Gift
wrap/magazine
sales will start September 28th. Ms. Zebkar
wanted
to know if top
selling students of entertainment books were getting
a prize. Mrs. Brown said there were leveled
prizes. Mr. Muth
stated
that he had
been approached regarding some concerns about
the
carnival. There will be a graduated
shutdown of booths during
the carnival
before it gets too dark. Mrs. Morrow was
wondering
if there are
things available for use. How is
adopt-a-class going?
About 20% of classes have been
adopted. Maybe send a reminder
home listing what
classes are available for adoption. Mr. Muth received
a letter from
a parent because their check was sent back.
Mrs. Quale said
it was a
fabulous idea, but maybe there could be some mini adoption
choices. Mr. Muth wanted to
let everyone know that Mike Robustelli has
offered his
limo for an award incentive. Outback
Night is December 6th.
6) OTHER All
Mrs. Quale
brought up the question about an e-mail newsletter.
She heard someone talking about
preferring an e-mail rather
than a paper
item newsletter. Would something like that be
possible? Ms. Boyd suggested that it could be put on
the website.
It could help cut back on paper as well as families who receive
more than one
copy. Mr.Muth wanted once again to thank staff
for the fine
opening of school, today’s Code White professionalism;
and to thank
the parents as well for this wonderful school.
Mrs.
Whitesides adjourned the meeting at 4:15 pm.
