Approval of December minutes
Teacher Report - Mrs. Defever -Thanks to PTO and parents for everything you do! Teachers request for Super Teacher Worksheet. Last one done by Cathy Klarecki. Cheaper if both schools (with Brookside) do it. Maybe join together? Emily will contact Katie Thomas to see if they are interested. We did do it singly last year. $100 cheaper per school to do it together. Can use it now, will expire in May. -Field trips for teachers - trying to encourage every teacher to take a field trip. Field trips have not taken as many recently because of low funds. Teachers are on board with getting it to happen. Principal report - Ms. Kent -Had a great end of year (2014). Everyone was very calm and tired yesterday! Reflex was not happening during Christmas break. Remember that it is a good tool when school is not in session. -Cart and ipad airs come Monday. Looking to put apps onto the ipads to use. Title 1 school - when we buy reflex ($3000-4000), we need to show how we are using it and taking advantage of it. -No other major happenings this month. Valentine party next month. New kitchen staff. Getting more chromebooks as well. Total of 36 ipads - 26 on the cart. Ms. Quinlan just got a projector and smartboard as well. We are very fortunate to have these technologies!! Old Business -Holiday Shop - It was a little chaotic!! The company we went through has been a little difficult, we have not paid in yet. Though, we still be ahead though. Do we want to go through this company again? Maybe, just buy our own stuff from the Dollar Store, etc? The company we went through last year was of a better quality. Could we involve community members in terms of homemade scarves, pot holders, etc? Should we make everything $1 next year? Or a table for $1 and $5 items. Brookside does it that way, we should check with them to see what they do. New Business -Soccer Nets? - we will revisit again later -Problem with BWW meals for walk-a-thon. We will probably need to just purchase the meals and hand them out. We have 46 that we need to hand out. Let’s just buy them for this year and will figure out a better plan for next year. -Gaga pit - can we look at donations to get that going? What is going on with the playground? Draining issue with the playground - it will be in our best interest to wait. -Valentines day -Something for Dads - a big sign like “You the Man” -Calling all moms - a little celebration of moms that happens at Valentines Day. -Calling all dads maybe in April? Doughnuts for Dads? -Book Fair - week of March 16th. Book fair theme is Under the Sea. But the schools reading month theme will be different. -Box Tops, etc - Just received check for $1800+ dollars!!! We collect them year round, so keep sending them in!!! Maybe release the amount we made at the end of the year. -Next Movie Night - Feb. 13th?? Optometry students that need hours, could we do a Parents Night Out and leave the kids with the optometry students in the gym? Only school age kids then? Big Hero Six out Feb. 23. Could we reserve the gym and have a fun night there? Donations optional? Charity event? Angels of Action? Let’s do February 27th movie night with Big Hero Six and charity donations for Angels of Action. Pre-register so we can see how many we will have? 98 people at the first movie night and we fit comfortably in our gym. Keep it here at Riverview. -Teacher Appreciation Week - first week of May. The teachers would really like to see new chairs for the lounge. Can we redo the lounge?? We also have a bunch of labels points that we can use for gifts as well. Lounge wish list?? Next Meeting Feb. 4th!!
