001[Music] No [Music] and then the so everybody can see you here and then the rest of us will stand in the hopes of months that will lead us from their seats in the bus [Music] thank you yeah so we have attended as presented or so the approval of the agenda yes yes thanks to the morning mr. go from the listening you have two quick items the first one is back during the state of the district meeting the parent advisory committee was discussed and their role in selecting the principal and at the time there was more information that was promised about that committee and what their role is and I was waiting derp I thought when we get it the first of the school year but today we really don't have any more information about that
002committee and I just have three general things about that to be addressed at some point the first would be what is the mission of that parent advisory committee who's on it I understand the makeup or at least I've heard the makeup is one parent per grade just curious how that works and then also how are those members chose and I heard before that it was about teachers recommending a parent I know there's a lot of parents who would like a forum like that but it's kind of opaque we don't really don't have anything what that committee does or how do you get on it the second thing is I think we're all aware we have some bike riders now at school which is awesome my son is one of them then he is friended of
003riding since last year most days except when it's brutally hot and it's been fantastic they really enjoy doing it it gets them active they get a little independence which a lot of kids don't get these days however the last couple months both of their bikes have been vandalized and we all kind of I practice my cracks are down here during pickup my son's shifter was wrenched mr. Curtis was kind enough to get him going after school but his friend's bike in the last two weeks same thing with the shifter that this time it was broken causing at least $50 worth of damage to it so I think we want all of our kids to be physically active here are two kids that are doing it we love other kids to see other kids doing it
004but not if they don't have a secure place to put their bikes and right now my understanding is there's a camera on those racks but it's blocked by a tree so you can't really see it so my son just turned 10 he's getting bigger he got a brand new bike we almost don't want him riding at the school right now for fear of the damage that might happen injury just bring that out in public and let everybody know that that's happening and and say that we really would like a secure place for not only our kids but every kid who wants to ride their bike to bring the right to school my name's Luis tamson and this morning I was reading online my newspaper and I was reading about the jarasandha state school board and
005a speaker there your keynote speaker mr. neo and I have been following this man and he has been around this country D legitimizing our government our traditions and our culture's MLK wanted to change change things with peaceful resistance he wants to change things with active resistance he is part of the no justice no peace that big fists that you see on TV sometimes that is violent he supports an Tifa which is violent that beats up on journalists that stops actual conservatives from going into schools to speak anybody with a red hat they are a target so that's no justice no peace and also when he said justice over civility even in your restroom you have us a sweet little thing that says be kind be responsible be nice that's civil and if we don't have
006a civil society we're not going to have any justice there is no justice and it promotes bullies this divisive this promotes bullies and he celebrates bullies and isn't bully something that this board should be concerned about and trying to work again in publicly funded schools we are no longer allowed to use the biblical references about morals and values and what made this country great but yet this man is allowed to speak at a state school board meeting promoting what she's doing and I understand he received quite an applause which makes me wonder where all the critical thinkers are on the school boards across this state so this little taxpayer wasn't real happy when I read this article this morning and I hope no more of my money goes to support people like this thank you
007the court and our principal has a lot of other exciting things to share after my report so but interesting for you so first of all just update from frankie lymon training we have a webinar on collections for middle school ages English language arts teacher which is our middle for our teachers for our middle school math teachers to provide additional back coursework per student and the car plan that in the next year or two you will be able to offer geometry for high school credit for our eighth graders so now with some of our seventh graders in hopes that we'll be able to offer that for our students so they enter high school qualify to get such evaluations for you along with mr.

018test is that it gives us data that will help us provide interventions to individual students and enrichment as being they're progressing so we can catch regression and we can can support progression and we are getting ready to get the IDS for you guys to login for the prints to login so that you can also see it throughout the school here as well we have meetings and I'd love to stay and chat with you about it if you have any questions throughout the year publish reports were sent home on Friday and this year as Miss Reiko mentioned the publish reports will be sent home every four and a half weeks each quarter teacher conferences will take place this month on September 19th and 20th this is a time for teachers to go over grades assignments and
019important data it's a time really though for everybody to come in and not so much as conference but see the success and the work that the students have accomplished to come and celebrate their successes see their words see everything that's up on the walls you know check out the area that they sitting that agrees and the assignments are things that have already taken place as you have as as you're starting to see the partnership courts but that's the time for you to have that important those important discussions with the teachers an open house will be taking place on October 24th for elementary students case you fit the middle school open also will take place on October 30th so this is a time where you know we're all done going to walk through the classroom and

022give them the slip and they'll hand it to miss with us you can read it and then she'll give it back to them so that you can take it and put it on the refrigerator or in the scrapbook wherever you want to put it so they'll have it and they'll come up and they're going to say their name and their teacher right so Harlem worked hard to be kind and fair with his classmates he helps keep a tiny classroom and playground he listens to his teachers and does what he's asked meditations miss help Dennis out Swayze is a role model student she comes prepared and ready to learn me daily she's helpful to those around her and offers encouragement to keep the classroom running smoothly she's kind and friendly to all her peers and she

025on a more regular basis we constantly are trying to tell our staff how great they are but sometimes we think that it would be unique to recognize them individually and so to that note after several conversations we have developed what is going to be from this point on known as the Golden Horseshoe award and so each month because we're the Colts right pull the horse so each month we're gonna pick one certified staff important classified staff and so at this time as he walks up here we'll go ahead and talk great things about him for the Golden Horseshoe Award for August is mr. Steven Lane and took on the task of trying to reorganize completely top to bottom trans finder which is our system that organizes it as well as redoing routes the entire routing
026system all of our buses took a ton of ton of work he were the extremely hard as well as doing many many other things that we haven't seen in the past like apparently letters with the rules for transportation going out at meet greet and many many other things that he's constantly doing this when we called him Friday to let him know that he needed me here at the school board meeting he wanted me to know that it's not him it's his blood-covered it's his team behind that and so that's the type of leadership that he did that he immediately once he got the recognition put all of the credit activities must divert so once again our very first all right and for our teacher for August our Golden Horse award is given to mrs. windy

028where we teach different things that we can do as co-workers and staff to instead of escalate deescalate situations so restraint is not needed and so that's kind of a goal and so we've done that for two days and she worked really really hard I know she was then teach the first time we had to go get trained up in Phoenix for four days to be certified trainers the two of us and so she's helped with that and tremendous program were really excited on para pros are extremely excited to have that knowledge that she was willing to share with them so this is man [Music] Oh yes unfinished business is policies is seven green boxes so it's time to lock them are there any questions comments and concerns about about any policies yes policy hiding where
