We realize that we are waiting on other committees for a part of our
work, however we are able to develop a plan for increase in parent and
community involvement. We need specific ideas that can be and are staff
willing to involve and welcome others into our school. Some ideas are:
• Eat with your child day
• Reading day/Family Reading Night
• Family Computer Lab Night
• PTO meetings @ night to include ALL parents & staff
• Putting articles about students in the good news section of the Mountain
Press
A sheet for school wide input was placed in mailboxes and needs a response
by 2/28
Laura said that in the shared folder the surveys parents took are available
to view for ideas on how they want to be involved.
She also encouraged the web page saying in the month of December we
had more than 10,000 hits outside of the school system.
A reminder to all to keep up those WebPages
We recognized what action steps are for our documentation and that
we will create action steps for: Math, English, Science, and Social Studies,
and Community Involvement.
Community/Parent involvement requires building a relationship of trust
between staff and parents to make problem solving easier as the year progresses.
The Timeline section of our documentation MUST BE FOLLOWED THROUGH!
Based on Parent Surveys
School wide input/surveys
Administration approval
*Need to come up with top 10 actions for improvement by using surveys
to get approval from administration.
Our Next Meeting is Thursday 1/28 at 3:15
Need input from staff about ideas for communication
