3. Communication items-none that we know of

LAT April 18, 2011

Budget-return the sheets to Jeanette by the first week of May.

I. Calendar Dates for 2011 to 2012 Early release dates are now set Conferences dates are up for discussion however were voted on last time. The flex days are also flexible. The current calendar is based off of this year's calendar. **Get feedback and post on the wiki.**

Open house up for discussion Proposed that the parents come for open house on Monday, August 22nd for the first hour of school. Also proposed that there isn't a meet and greet on the first day, This affects the entire staff so we will take back to the teams. ** Get feedback and post on the wiki. **

Also proposed for a school wide orientation to get every student on the same page.

All parent information cards will be online. Parents can come to station in the office if needed so parent updates can occur this way.

Back to School Night-August 31st now called Parent Information Night

Three days to get ready-concern about the number of meetings and Ryan indicated we were only going to have meetings until 10:00, most of Wednesday, all day on Thursday and the afternoon on Friday will be ours to be in our rooms.

Conferences-do we want to keep all three days? **Get feedback and post on the wiki.**

II. Communication Items CyberBullying-will now take to the discipline committee Update on internet usage-school officer hung out with the 6th graders

III. Wondering About... Google docs and equipment check-out downstairs-questioning the efficiency of checking out on google docs Staff will be reminded of the expectations about signing up and following the same rules Reiterated that you have to take the cart that you check out In the fall we will revisit expectations

Number of nights rooms are not being cleaned-can really add up when somebody is missing for several days in a row

LAT February 28, 2011

Next meeting to bring back to LAT: Flex day dates found below in notes Meet and Greet Issues/Decisions. Next Year's Calendar feedback from teams

2nd choice 3/21 and 3/22 Flex days OK || conferences October 12/13 March 22/23 assessment days in April OK || 27th and 29th OK back to back conferences || 8/22 and 8/23 or 8/29 and 8/30 earlier conferences in the spring ||
 * K || October 12/13 and March 7/8
 * K || October 12/13 and March 7/8
 * 1 || would be OK back to back but would prefer day in the middle ||
 * 2 || no meet and greet
 * 3 || prefer day in between ||
 * 4 || no change ||
 * 5 || flex day-prefer to have on 26th and not the 29th
 * 6 || prefer back to back assessment days in the fall
 * Specials ||  ||

Flex Days-8/22 and 8/29 4/27/2012 and 4/30/2012

Meet and Greet-change to open house on front lawn issue is with bringing supplies and backing up the parking lot -still open to debate

II. Conferences Feedback from parents is that the teachers are all there at the same time Flexibility model would work but the parents need advanced notice Shelton model-teachers set schedule, teacher lets office know when they will be available-so block out 3 days and parents will know ahead of time so when they are planning conferences they can schedule siblings Specials may have issues with staying every night Proposal going back to where the teacher schedules in the library etc.

III. Communication items Use the wiki! If you are here you already found it!!

IV. Wondering About... Electronic books-use of these devices in the classroom ie Kindles etc. Scheduling activities-school interruptions will try to be limited to Fridays if possible.

V. Ryan's additions Assembly-4/28 Kaiser assemblies Staffing will be approached after staff summit Para use-Ryan will be discussing ways to effectively use paras for instructional time

LAT October 25, 2010

I. CSAP accomodations-Barb Ryan
 * She handed out testing information and accommodation sheets

II. LAT Norms III. Communication Items IV. Wondering About V. Wikis To get back to Ryan or take to team:
 * Is there a need?
 * It was hard to facilitate because Cathy didn't know the issues, if decisions had to be made etc.
 * How do topics come to Mary and Ryan and how are they put into the agenda?
 * Mary is caught in the hall and asked to put something on the agenda or she asks for topics
 * Most of the time she tries to figure out what the topic is, and determines if it's a team or school issue
 * How are issues clarified?
 * This is clarified by Ryan and Mary
 * Hopefully there would never be recourse by bringing up issues at LAT
 * How is it decided it's a schoolwide decision or a team decision so we understand and we're all consistent
 * Mary will try to put times on the agenda to keep us on track
 * Lexia schedule and SpEd intervention time
 * In the future we don't want Lexia to supercede SpEd intervention time
 * School-wide midterm schedule/communication
 * Midterms is still on the calendar but most teams aren't doing it
 * Ryan says we'll take it off the calendar and teams can still make that decision
 * Early Release schedule NOT on Winter or Valentine's Day party days
 * Classes schedule parties around specials time, so follow regular schedule for these days
 * Upcoming Dates
 * All school photo-during fire drill-November 9th 1:30 in the afternoon
 * November 12th assembly-AntiBullying/Magic Show
 * All Pro Dads-Breakfast November 19
 * Nationally endorsed by PTA
 * Dad's get together with their kids, then there's a video, guest speakers etc.
 * Designed to be quality time with kids-starts at 7:05 am possibly in the cafeteria
 * Sister program called I Mom
 * Parent sign in procedure for field trips
 * Do they sign in the office or not?
 * Information needs to be known who is on the buses etc. in case of emergency
 * Moving the second night of spring conferences from Thursday March 24 back to Wednesday March 23
 * Is the Wednesday "Hangover day" a waste, can we move the conferences back to back
 * Go to teams and get feedback and email Ryan-both situations of "I prefer back to back or split up" or "I prefer but would be willing to help out with musical"
 * This is pending possible musical necessity for Thursday night
 * Halloween
 * Ryan will announce norms for costumes
 * Web 2.0 tools

__ IV. CARES AND CONCERNS: __
· Silly bands ﻿Some teachers are fine with them, others prefer to not have them. Ryan will support either way. "If you're playing with it, we take it" · Communication to staff first before parents & paras (DC Trip) · Library starts on the first day of schoolAccess for chidlren or access for teachers?This year there was a new para hired Have a sign-up ready before the year starts · Too many meetings, October 15th schedule?No committee meetings, but LAT being the meeting timeMonthly meetings are adding up, feeling far behindWants October 15th to have the afternoon to work to ourselvesRyan tries to respect our time and if there are meetings that we don't have to have he will not meetOur time before school was appreciated1:00-3:00-Google Docs!!
