27 Responses 

In terms of attendance, we did discuss the need for keeping germs at a minimum and possibly teaching kids about hand washing. 

In terms of curriculum, a suggestion was working on study skills. 

Overall, we felt that communication and volunteer opportunities are strong aspects of WES. We discussed just continuing to encourage parents to communicate with the school and start with the teacher. Possibly sharing that some things are policies and rules that the school cannot change...such as number of parties.  

Also discussed that many decisions are made to increase student safety. Example (change in recess schedules, not opening class parties to all parents that want to attend). 

Grant Opportunities 

LSIC decided to work on the Shade Structure Grant. Courtney is going to start the grant application, which is due December 15. Mrs. Jones is going to contact a local dermatologist. The committee agreed that additional shade structures are needed on the playground. Each year during the PK audit, we are cited for lack of shade in the PK area. 

 

Good of the Order 

Courtney shared information about a WVDE survey related to special education services. I shared the survey with staff and families.
