PTO-Homeroom Parents <br /> • Parents have volunteered to help with book orders, class functions, etc. <br /> • Since the budget is $0, the PTO wanted to do a fundraiser. March will be "Pocketful <br /> of Change". A plastic bag with a pocket on it will be sent home everyday with the <br /> child to be returned to the classroom every morning -will be sent home on February <br /> 281h and go until March 16th. Prize will be given at Math Night for grade level with <br /> the most change. <br /> • Family Literacy Night April6th. <br /> • In May possibly there will be a Family Picnic. <br /> • Sometime late in June classroom pizza luncheons will be provided. <br /> All depends on how much money is raised during fundraising. <br /> Budget Update <br /> • Last meeting (February 71h) was very positive. <br /> • Bottom line hasn't been determined(13.8 million possible amount) <br /> • If money comes from State it will add another $600,000 to the school budget. <br /> • We were challenged on "Band-aiding" the budget, a long-term plan is still needed. <br /> Professional Development Days <br /> • Possibly have 2 full days at the beginning of the year for meetings and still have the 1 <br /> extra day at the end. <br /> • The other days could be used for "professional" days like course trainings or <br /> whatever the school's goals are for the year(i.e. writing, math, safety, etc.) <br /> MCAL Meetings <br /> • Homework is a real issue, sometimes too time consuming and lives are very full these <br /> days. <br /> • Possibly concentrate on one subject each night. <br /> • Discussions will continue in hopes of coming up with rubrics to create some <br /> continuity among the grade levels. <br />
