Committee Remarks Sponsorship: AZIN we currently have 4 sponsors and always looking for more. Please send Azin your suggestions for local businesses who may be interested azinshabankareh@yahoo.com Membership: TARA last year we had a total of 151 students paid dues and 42 of 66 teachers/staff. This year we are at 129 students paid and 13 of 66 teachers/staff. Tara will be running a grade level contest next week (Sept 9-13) and provide prize (still to be confirmed like ice cream or popsicle party, extra recess, popcorn). Additionally there will be a contest for the teachers – whoever has paid by the end of the week will be entered into a raffle to win Gift Cards or something else. Emily suggested covering their lunch and recess as a prize too. Tara is waiting on the Teacher Leaders to respond to her on their preferences. Class Parties: MALHORIE The dates are Winter Party Dec 12 and EOY May 29. Currently only 92 students have paid for parties, still a few more to log. Malhorie will run an incentive contest to get more numbers in November. She has had some ideas but wants to see the final budget numbers before chasing leads and getting quotes. Nicole will check the website to see if payment confirmations can go directly to the PTO Parties email address so that none are getting missed. Program Development: Fat Boys was a huge success, thank you to Dr Bolden and Mrs Border for wonderful participation. Have not heard yet how much money was raised. Next Spirit night is Sept 12th at Raising Canes. Ways & Means: The Fall Festival date is set for Oct 18th, a committee has been put together and needs your help. Please see the Sign Up link on the Take Action page. Hospitality: EMILY Hospitality is mostly providing lunches for our wonderful teachers, the next one is Oct 15th. Mostly she does all the work however sometimes needs volunteers to help set up on the morning of. If you have any ideas or connections or suggestions on restaurants or dietary specialties/needs, please get in touch. Junior Achievement: JANA All JA kits are ready and in the PTO room. Once you have signed up Jana will send you an email with all the information you need to proceed, providing her phone number as well if you have any questions. It takes 5 sessions of either 30 or 45 minutes depending on grade level. This program teaches economics and ties in extremely well with the existing curriculum. Your first step will be to email the teachers to coordinate a time that works best for them. Make sure Jana is CC’d on those emails and update her with your session times. If you have done the online training you do not have to do it again. Masterpiece Art: SUE ELLEN. Sue Ellen is new! Her goal is to get volunteers, then will periodically email them to remind those who haven’t set up a time with the teachers to do so. Can Dr Bolden possibly include the SignUp genius link on one of her newsletters to make sure it reaches ALL parents. D.A.D.S: KEVIN The aim of Dads Are Doing Something is to increase the number of male/Dad figures around the school. All are welcome Grandads, uncles, big brothers, any local and involved male figure. Will be moving this year to some more group duty activities rather than individually, in case some are holding back due to hesitation about being alone in a room with kids. Such as 2-4 Dads take over car duty, 2-4 dads do lunch duty. Kevin is considering doing an extra Hamburger cookout lunch this year. Can all of us please talk to males/Dad figures we know and encourage them to get involved. Sue Ellen’s husband wants to participate. Malhorie asked about time commitment. Kevin answered that it is extremely flexible. Car mornings is approx. 45 mins. Lunch can be 30 mins to 3 hours. Whatever time you can spare. Field Day: the date has been set for April 4th, 2025 Yearbook: only task right now is to upload photos. 14. New Business - Spirit Shirts update: NICOLE. We have sold 356 shirts. Need XS and S sizes which are coming on Sept 11 and will be distributed shortly after. -Malhorie: we are still missing 2 Spirit Night checks from last year, she has been constantly chasing them up. Altitude should be writing their check this week. Space Cowboys may be another 2-3 weeks as they made a mistake on the first check. -Mrs Scholl: Coffee with the Counselor. The entire weeks theme is ‘Start with Hello’ to encourage building friendships. 15. Principal & VP Remarks Dr Bolden first asked Vice Principal to introduce herself. Courtney has transferred from a FBISD middle school, she is the PBIS system head (Positive Behavior Incentive System is the digital reward system to replace Champ Bucks) students can use their points to shop for items either in class or at home. Half items will be treasure box type things, half will be bigger things they can save for like pie the principal, raffle items, extra screen time etc. The store opens Sept 16. Dr Bolden remarks: - Open House is tomorrow, 2 sessions starting at 5pm. We are keeping an eye on the weather. - Schoology: please all join and sign up. Newsletter is posted on Friday afternoons, usually before 12pm, so check it then. - CPAC: lots of staff members are doing great work, we can nominate teachers & staff for outstanding work. - Goals: teachers participated in lots of summer PD and there is more coming up. Accountability rating – the raw data is in and we are estimated to be at an 87B. Many reasons why, our goal is to move back up to A status. She and the team are giving teachers regular feedback and support. Providing additional coaching to ensure EVERYONE is growing. PLC is a focus, small group instruction is very important for ELAR and Math. Mrs Scholl has already identified students who need extra help and support and setting goals for them. Students are accessing Schoology and all info to know what they’re leaning and working on is there. - 5th grade End of Year party: there are some great ideas already from parents, she will direct them to us to we can work together with them. Leticia and Jana will be involved. 16. Additional Remarks Dominga – her 5th grader told her that the female PE teacher/assistant played a song with offensive words to it and got all the class up twerking and she felt very uncomfortable, and this is inappropriate. Dr Bolden will get to the bottom of it. Elaine – she has noticed that some Walkers are getting lost on their way home after school, she has helped a number of them. Is there more we can do to ensure their safety, can we set up a support group/meeting to address this. 2nd grade and lower do currently need to be handed off to a known parent/guardian which is the attempt to address that issue. 17. Meeting adjourned at 11.15am.

Possibly a monthly video, what did PTO do this month, what did we do with your donations this month. Mrs Scholl: instead of parents donating they can ask a community member to donate items. International families –should we have a Whatsapp group, like a broadcast channel, and only Admins send info/broadcast. Right now only approx 250 parents opening her emails. Emily suggests a solution. Take top 5 languages. As PTO we could appointment a language representative/ambassador.

Pre-K, KG and 1 st . If not enough parents then def for KG. Reading program. Nothing formal, teachers next year want to partner 5 th and KG kids for reading. High schoolers have off periods who need hours, could they come and help? - Restroom etiquette: if your kiddos see something, tell their teacher. Need to figure out who these kids are that are mucking around to get help. - Chats with a consultant: should be a blue ribbon school which is a lot of work. Dr Bolden is going to do some research and stuff over the summer, us too. Let’s put in the work and try and get that ribbon! Already doing a lot of the work. Wants to work on attendance.
