We reviewed this document as a team and asked the team to look over this document to see what changes will need to take place.
Questions:
●What role would parents/community member have to help meet that goal? Serving on this team gives each community member a voice to share insight and ideas around what else can be done to aid us in meeting our goals?
●How do we say what we specifically can do? See Tate if you would like to be a aNorthStar volunteer or you can see someone on PTA. Teachers would like assistants
●Where do you go to find a list of what you want? PTA has this done and will share on curriculum night, add the volunteer request be put online to get parents signed up at our school, post a list somewhere in the school to list our school needs….this can be a handout that is ready in the office for parents.
Comments:
●Kinder has a field trip on 10/11/17 and needs some parents to volunteer, we need to create a way for the parents to know when we have this need.
●Briarwood needs parents to be a voice for our school, we need to have parents and community members to speak up about our needs. We need a new school and we are on the bond for a new school on November 7th. M. Eaves will be at the school board meeting on Oct. 10th and would like to know what the needs are in order to be a voice at this meeting for us. Also we will have a student speaking at this meeting.
●What is dojo? It is an online behavior system for parents and it incentives to parents for all that they are doing.
Next Steps:
Our next meeting is October 12th at 5pm in the media center. Ms. Cunningham will send an email, send a connect ed, and send out a flyer as well. The agenda will be sent out to all teammates ahead of time.
