 * SK Grade Level Meeting Agenda **
 * November 30, 2011 **

Bonnie saved 6 boxes from last year’s collection but only two remain. Sue and Anna offered to decorate four additional boxes for the mitten tree**.** Bonnie practiced the mitten song with all of SK during recess on Tuesday. She will practice with them again on Friday. She will also ask Raul to help her set up the tree Friday after school. Judy is putting together a power point for Monday’s Assembly. Bonnie will introduce Keri Shroeder from COA and she will speak for a few minutes before showing a three minute DVD. Then we will show the power point interviews. The Skers will then take the stage and sing “The Mitten” song. After a brief speech from Bonnie, she will ask teachers to stand up by grade level as we hand out the mittens we painted to advertise our Service Project.

Each class will count a box on Monday, December 19th or Tuesday, December 20th and tally the results. We will Meet Keri from COA in the Ells room right after lunch on Tuesday and share our results with her.

The JK Snowball is on Thursday, January 26th at 10:00. Bonnie will email Carol and let her know Pierson/Karrels and Jeffers/Hardwick can make it for sure. Bonnie has a special that she will try to switch.

Everyone said that Grandparents and Special Friends Day went well. Sue suggested that it would be nice if we could meet in the MS/US gym as a whole school and listen to the choir kick off the morning or meet in the LS Gym School and do something together before heading to our classrooms.

Most of us found it difficult to fill out during conferences and filled it in afterwards. Sue stated that there wasn’t a place to record progress notes and follow-up phone calls on the form and suggests that the Report Card committee add a section on the form for both.
 * Student Conference Goal Setting Form ** :

Someone has been stealing food out of the Preprimary/LS kitchen as well as taking things from classrooms. Carolyn has talked to John Lucky and he will come up with a plan to find out who it is. They think it is someone who has a key.
