  1. Flying Around the States - Jess updated on this upcoming event; on Feb 1st from 8:30 - 10:00 am.  Invites were sent out.  Each class chooses a state and will present it with activities for staff and students.

 

  1. American Sign Language Classes: 15 staff members are participating.  Staff have also been teaching their students and students teaching staff.  It has been fabulous to see this filter throughout the whole school.  We would like to provide this class to more staff next school year.

 

  1. Professional Development: Our Instructional Coach and Digital Coach meet with teachers regularly for training and in our faculty meetings.  We also had a PD in January with Melisa Genaux (AU specialist) to learn behavior management strategies to use in our classrooms. We will continue with monthly PLCs and quarterly PDs.

 

  1. Land Trust: Staff are using their budgets to access the community and make purchases.  SCC agreed to the same focus and will maintain for the 2024-2025 school year for our Land Trust Plan: Support staff in their community efforts; BenQ board, and/or ipads for classrooms.  Any excess funding will be designated for rec passes and/or equipment to improve physical education.  SCC signed the Council Signature Form for 2024-2025.

 

  1. TSSA: Reviewed current use of monies. 2024-2025 TSSA will be used for staff stipends: coaching, PDs, Employee Benefits, and ASL classes.

 

8.  Incident Command: Review progress with SRP drills.  SVS has had a HOLD Drill and it went well.
