Site Council Minutes: October 6, 2004

This is the first meeting at the new and improved 3:20 time. Whoo hoo!

chssite is the new listserv for site council members

Read Right feedback from teachers students are excited about
the program. Wooo hooo!

The new 9th grade transition model (including administrators
in the mix) this year is going well and meeting with success.

This is happening October 12 (next week). It begins at 6:30!

Reminders have been sent to parents

Parent schedules will be sent home with students

Will be similar to last year

Future issues:
a. Often times there is a game in the gym, so it is confusing to
parents about where PE classes meet to talk about students

Two grants were submitted, so both have been forwarded at their requested funding levels: “Language Proficiency Just Press Play” by Alicia Newton-Hamill and “Rubber Boots for Science Field Work.” By
Jean Ella

Talked about why so few grants were submitted (new staff members, too little time, less administrator assistance than previous years) and brainstormed possibilities for supporting staff in this endeavor.
a. Introduce EEF grant protocol at staff meeting and take time to
discuss and brainstorm ideas

recapped last meeting (continue literacy and instructional
strategy focus while adding the goal of crafting vision statement for
CHS)

Goal - break up into groups (Literacy / Instructional
Strategies / Vision - Mission Statement) to talk about these three
goals to plan activities for this year

Quick debrief from spokesperson from each group (Cindy S
Literacy Group / Dennis B - Vision Mission Group / Helen H -
Instructional Strategies Group)
