Alicia will email teachers with direction.
Escorts / Escort list is not being followed. Clean up the list; take one-on-ones off the list since this is a given.
Revisit why some kids are on escort; can there be adjustments. This would free up staff to supervise those students that really need it.

Cafeteria Supervision in the morning / Peg will post Table Assignment chart in the Cafeteria and create a list of escorts that need to get their students in the morning.
Disciplinary action will be taken by administration if paras are not adequately supervising in the morning.
Elementary breakfast is going well.
Dress code Violations

Staff Development
September 17 - Early Release
(M. Trevisol) / Would like time with HS teachers to discuss IEP Goal Writing. Sally will schedule an hour for Maryna into the afternoon.
Questions/Concerns / Peg –
Porch dismissal is suspended for now. These students are the last to get on their bus and it’s causing some issues. At 3:55, paras can bring whatever kids they have to Peg on the porch.
Tyler Cameron – plan developed is working for him. He’s settling in.
Patrol belts went out this morning.
Alicia
Lots of schedule changes, mostly electives.
Alicia is emailing so that all are immediately notified. She is highlighting the changes in the email. Give teachers 24 hours notice so that they can make sure grades are up to date and forward any information to the new teacher.
She is cross checking Pinnacle and DWH.
Stearn stated that lists should be updated (eg, bus list). Withdrawals should be on the Student Information conference so everyone knows. Cynthia should be emailed when a staff member has a conversation that someone is withdrawing. Stearn wants staff to try to get parent in to sign the Withdrawal form so we can have it in writing.
FSA retake is October 12th (11 and 12 graders who didn’t pass). They will be tested on the computer. Depending on the number of kids, Alicia will pull the students instead of disrupting all the students. If need be, she will enlist another teacher.
We are not required to offer EOC retakes. Stearn wants Alicia to touch base with academic teacher to see if that child should do the retake.
PSAT – 10th gr. October 17 (?). Look at these students on a case by case basis. Alicia to print 10th grade list of students. Alicia and Stearn will review.
