South Eugene Parent Council Meeting
Intros and Welcome (Helen Garrett, Parent Council Convener)
• Helen is thrilled to see so much activity on the blog.
• Updates: based on feedback we have a rich set of topics for the PES. Sessions are set through February. We received both the financial report as well as the budget. The financials are available tonight
• Teacher appreciation needs our help on Dec. 15.
Principal’s Update (Randy Bernstein)
• Boy’s soccer team is first in state right now and girls are also doing well.
• Boy’s football also doing well.
• 6A travel is on parents’ minds – Dave Hancock is sympathetic Some Athletic Directors aren’t as concerned because they’re not teachers as Dave is. Yesterday was 1st meeting of 6 principals in Roseburg. Hopefully we’ll be able to come up with some creative scheduling (double headers on Saturday to eliminate weekday travel). This year, however, things will have to stay this way for now.
• Basmati: Emphasize that some teachers will use it and some won’t. We’re trying to educate the parents – some teachers that are doing it are “helicopter” parenting because of all the calls that the teacher is getting about their child’s missing assignments. They want the kids to be doing that, NOT the parents. If this continues, teachers won’t continue.
• DDD: For school staffing – this is to keep programs running and to keep classrooms open. A typical year nets about $70,000. Our goal this year is $90,000. This is the foremost fundraiser for the school.
• Chinook Book is another fundraiser – for volunteer coordinator position as well as library asst. time, music program. That’s roughly $28,000.
• Next week is short: Thurs. is ½ day and no school on Friday.
• Modern Millie is going on – great musical – come and see it!
• We still need some volunteers in our academic support class. Those with volunteers run well. This is pretty much for 9th graders – help those identified students with their planners and classwork/homework.
Questions:
• Parent was concerned with the traffic in the mornings in front of the school. Randy gave her some contacts like the VP and Officer Zeltay.
Respectfully Submitted,
Kristina V. Padgett
