Attendees:

Pat Bordin, John Compton, Mike Mc Guigan, Terri Murray, Maureen Wallace,David Harders, John Marty, Caroline Uniacke Absent: Father Ring

Action Items:

  • Safety issues in the parking lot were addressed again. Parents will be asked to assist directing traffic (via the Wednesday envelope). Dave Harders volunteered to make signs for the parents to hold, encouraging the drivers to get their passengers ready to exit the vehicle. The signs will add humor to the situation but get the message across, that drop off and pick up must be done quickly and safely.
  • Terri Murray has completed the survey on the boy's pants. She received 94 responses, 66% of which were in favor of changing to navy twill pants. Mrs. Bordin will meet with the uniform supplier on December 5th to discuss the change and any problems that this may cause.

.

Guests:

Maureen Mitchell

.

Guest Issues:

  • Maureen Mitchell inquired about whether there were any plans for a music/band program. Mrs. Bordin addressed the issue, explaining that they are researching several after school programs but would not be making any concrete plans until the new multi purpose building is completed.

.

Mailed in
Guest Issues:

  • Sandra Timko wrote in inquiring about whether the homework club would be free to students. Mrs. Bordin addressed the issue, explaining that the homework club would be available to students through extended care. If you want your child to attend the homework club you will have to pay the extended care fees.

.

Old Business:

  • The status of the handrails in middle yard was addressed. Maureen Wallace has located a contactor willing to take on the job. A proposal has been submitted to the school and awaits Father Ring's approval.

.

New Business:

  • Dave Harders brought up the grade level expectations for computer skills. The majority of high schools expects new students to have good to high computer skills and do not include computer classes on the curriculum. Mrs. Bordin addressed the issue. The archdiocese has mandated that all Catholic school must have a Technology Curriculum Plan in place by June 2003.
  • Progress reports were addressed. The most recent reports did not state that the students involved were now on sports probation. As a result, coaches were not notified. Mrs. Bordin addressed the issue. The handbook clearly states that if a student receives a progress report, where a grade of C- or lower is earned in any subject, or a 3, or lower, in conduct in any subject or general conduct, the student will be placed on sports probation. All future progress reports will state if a student is on sports probation, to avoid any confusion.
