\nCOO Report-Title 1 funding
\nOur school received more resources this year. Lovey thanked Mrs. Cooper for entering all of the
\nschool lunch data, Mrs. Morga, for entering all the STARS data. This information is what the
\nState used to assess and determine what funding we will receive. So based on our student
\nenrolment this year we can tell the benefit of entering the data. The increase in numbers is how
\nwe are able to receive more funding for this year. Which means the information that we are
\nsubmitting is true and correct, and we are doing our due diligence.
\nAttached is the Title 1 power point presentation and agenda on how it helps to improve our
\nschool.
\nLovey Fritts can address any questions at tfritts@21stcenturypa.com or 505-254-0280 ext 110

-Box top brought in $180. Thank you to Karine for all her hard work. We will be looking at a
\nbetter solution to box tops for each grade. We will look at a prize for the grade that has the most
\nbox tops. The next collection date will be in February. If box tops are not labeled they will not
\nbe divided evenly to each of the grades. So please label your box tops with your students grade.
\nBox tops will also be divided by a per student average since some grades are larger than others.
\nAn email will be sent home to remind families to clip box top during holiday cooking.
\nSocial Committee-
\nScience Bowl December 7- We will contribute refreshments for parents and participants. We
\nalso purchased gift card for the winners of each grade.
\nFamily Science Night Friday February 1.
\nDrop and Shop December 14 5:30-8:30. Parent can drop off their kids for a night out. Price will
\nbe $5.00\/child if paid in advanced, $8.00\/child at the door, food will be extra. Jennifer Withrow
\nwill put a form together. We also need background checked adults to volunteer. Kids are free
\nfor adults who volunteer and will also get free food. There is a 10:1 kid to adult ratio. We will
\nhave board games, craft, and movies. We may also play minute to win it games. All movies
\nplayed will be G rated, and will be played in the classrooms. It was also suggested we charge a
\nsmall fee for the craft. We will send out the flyer early December, December 12 th will be the
\nprepay deadline.
\nFall Festival- We need a better way to get parents to volunteer for fall festival ahead of time.
\nMany families complained about the line to get in, but if we had more volunteers things would
\nrun more smoothly. We will also look at preselling tickets before the event next year. We
\nalways welcome and are thankful for staff volunteers and they can help with everything but
\ntaking money.
\nJuliann Salinas\u2019 husband has volunteered to DJ our events. He had speakers and DJ equipment
\nColor Guard will participate in the Twinkle Light parade on December 1 st .
\nBarnes and Noble day, benefiting the foundation will be all day December 8. We will look at
\nhaving the color guard hand out flyers as they walk in the parade. If anybody is planning on
\npurchasing from Barnes and Noble, please go on this day and give the flyer to the cashier and a
\npercentage of your purchase will be donated to the school.
\nWe need ideas on what to do for the teachers for the holidays, We usually spend about $10 per
\nteacher. We have had 17 staff members turn in their \u201cmy favorite thing\u201d questionnaire. We
\nhave 33 staff members. Mrs. Belmonte-Sapien says teacher would love to have their lunch duty
\ncovered. We may use this as an incentive to get teachers to sign up for PTA.
\nSome ideas:
\n– Purchase gift card and have cookies and hot chocolate and have them do a gift card swap
\n– Have parents adopt a teacher and have them bring in small gifts for the teacher they
\nchoose.
\n– Bring in lunch for the teachers<\/p>\n
Jennifer Withrow has gone through the items we have at the school store and we have removed
\nitems that do not fall within the state guidelines and have replaced them with healthier
\nalternative.
\nPrincipal\u2019s Report-
\nBuilding update- It looks like the completion date will be spring break.
\nWe had a parent contact the police chief about having police present at our school during drop
\noff and pickup due to the amount of traffic in the area during these times. Mrs. Tarango also
\ncontacted the area commander about requesting a crossing guard. There has also been a proposal
\nfor an ADA compliant sidewalk that the city has approved. APD has said that they will send
\nsomeone to help during these times if they have someone available. Their presence was greatly
\nappreciated this morning and we are hoping to see them more often.
\nA Safety drill was held at the school today and it went great. The school is required in the first 4
\nweeks of school to have a fire drill every week. We also have to have 1 shelter in place one
\nrelocation and 1 lockdown drill. Once a month we have to have one safety drill.
\nThe 8 th grade teachers float around to vacant classrooms during that period. They share
\nclassrooms with 6 th and 7 th grade. So until we have the new building, those classrooms will have
\ndesignated areas to during drill.
\nMeeting was adjourned at 8:02 pm. It was moved to close the meeting by Sharon Hart and 2 nd by
\nCrystal Salas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
