Leadership:
1. The November 14, BIST Collaboration Day, will be at Cavett Elementary School, 1:00 – 3:30ish. Alesia and Annette are attending. The emphasis is on creating effective plans.
2. BIST Vision Team Conference is here in Lincoln on April 26 and 27. That’s a Friday evening and a Saturday. The Friday is a plan day, and the conference is 5:00-9:00 p.m. Saturday is 8:30-4:00. Meals are provided. The registration fee is $1000 by November 1st. Dr. B. wrote for a PEF grant to pay for the registration for a team of 10. Who is interested in attending? GET members (as the Vision Team) have the first opportunity.
Schoolwide:
1. Dismissal:
ALL teachers walk students outside and make certain each is on her/his way safely.
Dr. B. will set out the cones for Kinley. Kinley will set out the cones to create the dismissal corridor. Mrs. Mahoney will help clear parents out of the corridor as dismissal approaches.
Dr. B., Annette, Bob & Nick will continue middle school patrol from 3-3:38.
Middle school students have two options: walk on by (no stopping or standing), or check in with Beata at door #10 and wait for dismissal. Students loitering are photographed, and reported to Lefler. Ralph and Kelly have started detention at Lefler for students causing problems here.
Dr. B., Mrs. Mahoney, and/or any staff at the yellow barricade will tell drivers to not stop in the street to pick up students, and to not pull into the driveway (by the yellow barricade) at dismissal time.
2. Arrival:
Dr. B. will ask LPD to send a patrol to give warnings and tickets to those who park along D Street.
Dr. B. will hand out Randolph traffic brochures, explaining the arrival and dismissal process.
Dr. B. will add information to the weekly parent notes about traffic safety.
Dr. B. will talk with parents who stop in the middle of the street to let their children out in the morning.
Classroom:
1. BIST consultation day: “First Fifteen” in office; follow up from Katie’s previous visit.
2. EAT walks first graders back to their classrooms every day, and will be asked to wait and help the first grade teachers walk the students outside at dismissal.
3. Secretaries will shorten the announcement for student groups to come pick up food backpacks. Then, teachers will need to remind those students to take their backpacks to pick up their sack of food AND to WALK to the distribution site.
Non-classroom:
1. Dr. B. talked to Family Service supervisors that they must get children to stop screaming for screaming’s sake outside after school, and offered several suggestions for consequences for those who don’t stop just screaming.
Individual:
1. List of those willing to help with students during their plan time:
When a classroom teacher needs help with a resistant student, the teacher calls the office.
Vicki or Tami dispatch Annette, Wendy B., or Susie to help.
When those staff aren’t available, the secretaries call the people listed who have plan time at that time, to assist.
Vicki will be routing a form asking every team member when she/he is available to call on for this assistance.
The procedure stays the same, though:
Teachers needing help call the office, and the office staff will dispatch help.
(This way, the same person doesn’t get called everyday at 10:15 or 2:35, etc.)
