In December, we will find out if any of the entries move on to the state level.
Senior Activities- Sarah Martin
Will meet with Ruckus to learn about catering. They work with Green Hope and would like to work with us. We are selling senior signs at Mr. Catamount. Senior pictures will need a lot of volunteers especially junior and senior parents. Date for pictures is not yet announced.
Volunteers- Robin Rutledge
We have had a poor turn out for volunteers. Dr. Hedrick will mention this in the phone announcements.
Principal- Dr. Camille Hedrick
Driver Safety is a major concern especially during the lunch break and with backing up. We have had 16 reported accidents in the parking lot this year. Last year we had a total of 15 accidents. In response to school safety concerns, we have been efficient with locking down situations and then isolating the event or person. We had a cyber security event. We were aware of this attempt to change grades almost immediately. Very few students were involved yet it did affect the rank of many of the seniors. We have corrected the senior rankings and have informed the colleges that students have applied to.
We will acknowledgecolleagues that have gone beyond expectations. We will do this by having teachers recommend other teachers. We are considering giving them a pin and trophy as an acknowledgement.
Debbie Ray, an assistant principal will transfer to another school to help with staff development at an early STIM college. We will have a ceremony on November 19th at 2:30 in the commons. Cake and punch will be served as we get a chance to say goodbye to Debbie Ray.
PCHS has been opened for 10 years.
New Business- Karen Bisi
New form created to use for curriculum support grant applications- see attached form. Teachers will be given a maximum of $100. At our January meeting, we will have our first review.
We need new people on our nominating committee and we need to focus on increasing membership
Meeting adjourned at 8:20
