Student Council: Madison Adkins spoke about the toy drive, they went shopping for 2 families. The budget was $1000. They bought toys, clothes, diapers etc. The families gave us a list of items that they needed. Student Council also sold out the 500 Jingle Bells which also assisted the toy drive. 15 families received toys from the toy drive.

Approval of October 2016 Minutes:

Mrs. Borowskimade a motion to approve the October 2016 minutes.

Jen Adkinsseconded the motion. All in favor.

Principal’s Report:

Unfortunately no smart bond updates. Mrs. Borowski had a scheduled meeting, but it was canceled. Looking at items on the ballot, ex: carpets, WSRN, Activities, etc. Hopefully by January’s meeting, she should have an update. We received a letter that will go out with all student regarding the BAS. Teachers should put a sticky note on it or add how students are currently performing since the score is from the first quarter.

Mrs. Borowski had a meet and greet with parents planned by the PTO. The PTO felt that she had not communicated changes before making them (ex: dismissal). It was held over two consecutive days. On Thursday, November 3rd4 parents showed up and on Friday, November 5th only 5 showed up. A workshop about FSA scores will be held sometime in January or February. Mrs. Borowski feels that she needs support, because she feels that the parents are not open to changes and are not being respectful.

Family and Community Engagement Plan

Need clarification from District. Need to ask more of a cultural group rather than community SAC members. Looking at possibly asking ESOL parents.
