5. Answer this question only if you answered 'yes"to Question 4 If you support <br /> having students dress uniformly, are you also in favor of including periodic <br /> "special days"where alternatives to the student uniform dress are permitted? <br /> (Ex: Pajama Day, Mashpee Spirit Day, Sports Team Days, etc) <br /> ■ We discussed concerns for families with financial constraints. Sources for financial aid will be <br /> researched. Families will be supported <br /> ■ Many local vendors and on-line vendors sell the proposed uniform dress items at reasonable prices. <br /> ■ Uniform dress far students proposal: <br /> o Fitted chino style pants, skirts, shorts, or capris in khaki, blue, or black color <br /> o Solid color polo style shirt—long or,short sleeved—without emblems, logos, or designs <br /> 3. FY13 Budget—K-8 Literacy Coach—(5 minutes) <br /> ■ Mrs. DeBoer briefly discussed her proposal to seek funding for a K-8 Literacy Coach for <br /> SY12-13 to help us address our ongoing student achievement challenges in ELA. The <br /> person in this position would follow a similar model to that of our K-8 Math Coach. The <br /> literacy coach would be an experienced teacher, an expert on all aspects of literacy content <br /> and instruction, and possess the communication skills to develop a positive working <br /> relationship with teachers and students. The person selected for this position would provide <br /> support at the K.C. Coombs School, the Quashnet School, and the Mashpee Middle School. <br /> ■ This suggestion will be forwarded to Superintendent Bradshaw for consideration in the <br /> FY13 school department budget. <br /> 4. Other(5 minutes) <br /> Student Book Club—Based on Massachusetts Children's Book Award Nominees (Mrs. Cortez) <br /> PBIS Workshop for parents—as was held several years ago (Mrs. Cortez) <br /> • Mrs. Cortez asked about the Quashnet School hosting a student book club focused on reading 2012 <br /> Massachusetts Children's Book Award nominees. After inquiring with our staff, Mrs. Lanoue and Mrs. <br /> Sweeney will be hosting a before-school weekly book club for third and fourth graders; and Ms. Goulart <br /> and Ms. Fredericks will be hosting a before-.school weekly book club for fifth and sixth graders. <br /> Information will be sent home with students during the week of 11/14/11. Both clubs are scheduled to start <br /> on January 4, 2012. Enrollment will be limited. <br /> • Mrs. Cortez also inquired about a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) workshop for <br /> parents. She remembered a similar event that we had several years ago--during the early implementation <br /> stages of the program. There were activities for children while parents learned strategies to positively <br /> interact with their children and to promote desired behaviors. The earlier workshop was grant funded. <br /> We will look into options. <br /> SUBMITTED BY: Patricia DeBoer <br /> November 11, 2011 <br /> *111�11t <br />
