Thanks: Thanks to
Jane DeClercq and Lynn Wagenseil for the excellent refreshments. Refreshments for our February meeting will
be provided by Sandie Patrick and Mary Hodge.
School Improvement Funds Expenditure: SAC approved the expenditure of school improvement
dollars for the Write Reflections Writing Program and also for consultant and
training costs for implementing the program.
The program materials for all grades cost $2500 and the cost for a
consultant and training sessions is $900.
Melida explained some details of the program and said that training
could be initiated on the March 21st professional day. Approval was by consensus.
Student Recognition: Ginny
reported on the school-wide “A-Day” celebration which was held to recognize our
students’ achievement of an A from the state.
The event was a great success and had the support and participation of
all staff members and many parent volunteers.
Donna reported that each student also received a free book from the book
fair in honor of our A school achievement.
The book fair offered great selections for the students in a range of
prices, and the students made thoughtful choices. A special book plate was placed in each of these commemorative
books.
Data Analysis: SAC
continued to review and analyze student performance data in Writing, Reading
and Math for the remainder of the meeting.
At our next meeting, a representative of each group will report the
findings and we will begin to formalize our needs assessment for future school
improvement planning.
Next Meeting:
The
next SAC meeting is on Wednesday, February 26th at 3:00 p.m. in the
Media. Refreshments will be provided by
Sandie Patrick and Mary Hodge (thanks).
Please remember that attendance at SAC meetings is an important
requirement for Five Star School recognition.
If you cannot attend, please let Ginny know and try to find an
appropriate substitute.
