In Attendance  

Jodie Harris, Joel Miller, Chrissy Felt, Clayton Grace, Shauna Alvarado, Cali Southwick

Celebrations

School Land Trust Plan for this year is finished, Joel is very happy to have it completed.
Reflections entries were submitted last week.  We had good participation. 
The teacher teams are doing well, each team seems to collaborate effectively.

Area of Concern:  ELL population has grown significantly since last year so we are working to see how we can best meet their needs.

Review of Fall SCC Training information

Watched videos, which outlined the history and purpose of School Trust Lands as well as what role the School Community Council plays in school improvement and academic growth.

School’s Digital Citizenship and students safety plan

Discussed district and school wide online safety plan.  Joel will send this information out to community members. 

Guiding principles: Today’s students are far more technologically advanced than students in previous generations.  As educators, it is essential that we identify best practices, instructional methodologies and tools to engage students through the use of interactive technologies.

Calendaring

Would like to hold meetings on the 3rd Thursday of every month.  Next month’s meeting will be held November 19th.

In place of one of the monthly meetings, Joel would like to possibly have SCC members come observe teacher collaborations as a “fly on the wall” to see what goes on during that collaborative time..

Questions

Chrissy brought up her concern with students not having mastered the basic math facts.  Suggested that Joel consider having a “Math fact of the Day” that he would announce during morning announcements.  It would be a focus for the whole day.  Every time a student sees Joel in the hall they could tell him the fact, each class could shout the fact loud enough for Joel to hear down in the office, etc.
