Westwood Intermediate PTO Meeting Minutes

May 2, 2017

  • Welcome and introductions
  • We had 6 people in attendance, including Associate Principal Mr. Tyler Nelson
  • Budget (Heidi Sass):
  • As the year comes to an end, the PTO will be discussing what to do with the extra funds that we have.
  • Administration (Tyler Nelson):
  • MCA testing is now complete. MAP testing will be done on May 23rd and 25th.
  • 3rd grade move up day will be Tuesday, May 30th. The 3rd graders will bus to Westwood Intermediate during the day with their 3rd grade classes. There will also be an open house for 3rd graders and their parents that night from 4:30 – 5:30pm. Following the open house will be the end of the year party (more below).
  • Events (Heidi Sass):
  • Staff appreciation week is going on now. Heather Samuelson is leading this. The PTO served donuts on Monday, will serve lunch on Wednesday and Big Dipper ice cream on Friday. In addition, staff names are being drawn each day this week for gift cards.
  • The end of the year party will be Tuesday, May 30th right after the 3rd grade open house. The party will be from 5:30 – 8:00pm for WWI students and families, as well as current 3rd graders and families. Food will be served from 5:30 – 7:30. Magic Bounce will make the flyers advertising the party, but the PTO will add info to the flyer about the open house and will distribute to Northpoint and Park Terrace for their 3rd graders. Magic Bounce will take care of the tickets, teachers will take care of the food, and the PTO will take care of sending out a sign-up genius for parent volunteers to help with the inflatables.
  • Business (Heidi Sass):
  • We are still finalizing the PTO board for next year. Jen Repp will be the new president.
  • Heidi has started to map out some PTO dates (meetings and events) for next year. She will run these dates by Mary in the office, as well as the upcoming president Jen Repp. Most importantly right now is finalizing the plan and dates for theonline fall book fair, as we need to book that soon with Scholastic.
  • This concludes the last PTO meeting for the 2016 - 2017 school year.
