Continuation of <strong>School</strong> Improvement Plan Discussions<br />

A new question will be included in school improvement plan district-wide. The question<br />
will ask how the needs of high achieving students are met.<br />
Parent Involvement Policy and <strong>School</strong>/Parent Compact<br />
The SCC reviewed the compact template provided by Jessica Vidal. The following questions and<br />
concerns were addressed:<br />
A parent stated that more support was needed regarding attending conferences. More<br />
regular meetings between parents and teachers were requested. Principal Miller<br />
explained that the school has two set conference times during the school year and<br />
parents can make appointments with teachers as needed.<br />
A parent addressed a need for students to have a stable environment and asked if this<br />
could be included in the compact. Can we add healthy eating habits to the compact?<br />
Jessica stated she will provided examples for the parent portion of the compact.<br />
A completed, SCC-approved compact is due to the district Title I office by March 5 th .<br />
Other Items<br />
Principal Miller explained that an online scheduling program is available for purchase to enable<br />
parents to schedule conferences online. This would help parents with multiple children and<br />
those who would like to choose a time convenient for their family. The cost is approximately<br />
$200.
Can a computer be available for parents who may not have internet access at home?<br />
How will families register if their primary language is one other than English?<br />
Principal Miller asked that at conferences, teachers tally how many parents would be interested<br />
in this service to assess parent interest and ability of use.<br />
