Simple Motions of Parliamentary Procedure

• A tie vote is a lost vote.

• A main motion may be amended.

• Nominations can be closed by saying, "I move to close nominations."

• Most motions are main motions.

• A point of order is offered when there is some question if procedure had been followed correctly.

• To stop debate or discussion on a motion and force the vote, a member would say, "I move the previous question." This requires a second and a 2/3 vote

• Hasty action may be corrected by use of the motion to reconsider.  This motion may be made only by one who voted on the prevailing side.

• A person who made the motion may withdraw the same motion.

Goal #1

We will assess how students are doing based on how many students are selected in the fall for LLI and how many are released in January. We will do the same with the January to May group. We will also use our Treasures benchmark data as another indicator of growth. Our baseline data will be our beginning of the year DIBELS data and the completed measurement will be the DIBELS end of the year.

We will rehire our two highly qualified paraprofessionals to teach tier 2 intervention students in each grade level K-2. The paraprofessionals will use the Leveled Literacy Intervention program (LLI) with a group of 3-4 students. The students are assessed in August and groups are made according to the students' reading level. The students with the lowest reading level will be placed in the LLI intervention groups. The students have a total of 16 weeks of instruction in the program then they are reassessed in January and new groups are formed according to their levels.

Expenditures

Goal #2

We will use the Treasures weekly and unit assessments along with the My Math chapter and benchmarks to check the progress of the students. The completed measurement will be the DIBELS and SAGE assessments taken in May of 2018.

The teachers will receive monthly training in math questioning, engagement, GVCs, and student directed learning as their professional development. We will hire substitutes to rotate from different classrooms in each grade level so the teachers have a total of 45 minutes of professional development a month. With this training we would expect to see our DIBELS and SAGE scores increase.

Expenditures

Goal #3

We will use the Treasures weekly and unit assessments along with the My Math chapter and benchmark to check the progress of the students. The completed measurements will be DIBELS and SAGE assessments taken in May 0f 2018. The students will also participate in a short survey to see their motivation for participation.

We will hire a paraprofessional to instruct our students twice a month using the Olympiad materials. The students will have this twice a month for 30 minutes each time.

Expenditures

Goal #4

We will use the DIBELS and SAGE testing in May to determine how the students have made progress.

We will purchase 60 computers and keep them on a cart when not used. The cart with the computers will allow students to use computers all year since they aren't able to use the lab during all testing windows. The computers will be kept in a central place and there will be a sign up sheet for the teachers to check them out during the day.

Expenditures

Goal #5

We will use the Treasures weekly and unit assessments along with the My Math chapter and benchmarks to check the progress of the students. The completed measurements will be the DIBELS and SAGE assessments taken in May of 2018.

We will have the Beverly Taylor Sorensen instructor that we share with another school. The students will have their instruction once a week for 30 minutes each time.

Expenditures

Goal #6

We will use the YCT and APPL scores to determine the effectiveness of the two paraprofessionals.

We will hire two paraprofessionals from Taiwan. The two paraprofessionals will be rotated in the different Chinese classrooms. They will also be used as substitutes when the certified Chinese teachers are ill or in trainings.

Expenditures

Goal #7

We will use the SAGE score for these students to measure their growth for the year.

We will hire two paraprofessionals to coach the Lego program (lower and younger age students). The Lego program will go from August until January and will involve students in grades 1st-5th. 
We will also use some of the money to buy supplies that are needed for this program.

Expenditures

Goal #8

We will use the SAGE scores for Math and Science to look for growth for the students that are part of the coding program.

We will hire a paraprofessional to teach the students how to do coding.

Expenditures

Goal #9

We will use the SAGE and the essential standard assessments for science.

We will add a science lab for our students to use during the day. The teachers will sign up for a time and use the lab. The lab will have a COW so students can do science experiments that are on the internet. The students will also have kits they will use that are selected by standards (according to what the teacher is teaching). There will be kits for every grade level and each standard.

Community Council

Minutes from November 21, 2016

Safety on Malaga

Edward from Santa Clara discussed the possibility of other crosswalks. They can’t just paint more because there is liability with crosswalks and they can’t have crosswalks within 600 feet.  The city will need to do more studies. You can’t put a cross walk without lights, signs etc. Santa Clara city will look at the options discussed.  Contact Fred Fage (Building Inspector) 656-4690 ext 217 with any questions.

Dibels

Lesa explained what Dibels is, what is tested at each grade level, and when the test is given throughout the year. Dibels tests help to determine intervention groups and it gives the teachers good information on reading patterns. Dibels determines funding for reading programs and interventionist.

Joyce Wilkinson-Digital Plan

The current digital Plan includes internet safety and how Joyce  goes through videos with the students. She talks about not giving out personal information and other internet safety information. The K-1st grade will be using the Waterford reading program when they come in for computer time.  2nd grade comes in once a week for 30 minutes and have been doing the Dance Mat Typing program. 3rd grade will do 17 typing review lessons and then will do Typing Instructor for Kids which  is a web based program that is purchased by the district. Joyce will give us more information and Susan will send it out to the parents. 4-5th grades are learning how to use Google Docs and typing.

CSIP

Susan went over the CSIP plan

Goal #1 Reading Interventionists, they do an amazing job and are very needed.

Goal #2 Monthly professional development Lesa has been videoing the teachers and conferencing with them after so they can reflect. Groups include questioning, close reading, self directed learning, engagement.

Goal #3 STEAM Goals, two paraprofessionals teach classes twice a month.

Goal #4 Buy another COW (Computer On Wheels) Cart.

Goal #5 Music and Art twice monthly; the money helps pay to match the Beverly Taylor Sorensen Grant and fund a teacher.

Goal #6 Paraprofessionals from Taiwan, we could only afford one, but she is a big help to the 1st grade and is a sharp teacher.

Intervention Groups

Paraprofessionals work Mon-Thurs. They are a huge benefit and they keep great data on each student.

Community Council Rules and Regulations

Becky reviewed the new information added to the Community Council regulations.

Parent Survey

We discussed the safety concerns. We reviewed the parent responses to the five questions. The five questions were Safety Concerns at School, Safety concerns to and from school, academic areas parents are impressed with, academic areas you would like to see improvements in, any other concerns regarding academic or safety. We had some great parent responses.

Dibels: Arrowhead was 3rd in the district on Dibels testing.

Language Arts: Treasures Program, we are keeping it for another 3 years.

Math: My math is the district program, Envisions for Chinese 1-3 grade. 4-5 Chinese does Science and Chinese.

SAGE Interim: it gives the kids practice for SAGE. Testlets is a program the kids practice on the computer taking tests straight from the standards. Can parents opt out of SAGE and still take testlets? Susan will find out

CSIP: Consolidated School Improvement plan. The wall has all of the grade level standards or GVCs and which kids need interventions. CSIP ls the district plan for standards and reporting. Susan will print out the whole report if requested. Teachers update them each Trimester.

Trust Lands Money: We use trust lands money for interventions as well as professional development.

Teacher Professional Development: Mrs. Dewey is training them in 3 areas.self directed learning(teachers can choose what they want to better themselves) they plan it and do it themselves. Similar to student self directed learning. Helping teachers to implement more opportunities for self directed learning. Engagement and Reading text closely for comprehension are the three areas of focus. Mrs. Dewey goes in and does observations, takes data and then follows up with each teacher.

 Trust Lands Administration website will tell all about the purpose of trust lands and would be great for all council members to see, “Earning for Education” is the Youtube video it is 6 minutes long.

 Trust Lands Money Uses: Laura and Shauna are intervention aides $15,000, other money goes to professional development for teachers to hire substitute teachers. $2,000. STEAM 10 hours a month $2,000 dollars a year. COW (Computer on Wheel)s goal is to have each grade to have computers $13000, Music Teacher, Beverly Taylor Grant we match the $8000 grant. $2900 for a Chinese intern. The school also hired a couple of aides for the non Chinese classes as well, but it didn’t come from Trust Lands money.

Gold Medal Schools: Healthy food options and fit walk.

Internet Safety and Digital Citizenship: Charlie worked with all lab aides and they came up with a plan. Can the students and parents watch a video together and then sign it? They do that at the other schools. Joyce will go over it next time and we will vote on it.

Community Council Survey: we will go over it next time.

Drop off and pick up could improve. Malaga is a big problem, wish there were cross walks. Susan will invite Edward Dickey from Santa Clara city. Paint the curb on Cynthia red, paint cross walks on Malaga.

Ginny Nobis-organizes interventions 9:10-10:10, 10:15-11:15, 11:20-12:20 groups using LLI program. Every 10 lessons they move a level. (1-2nd grade)

Soar to Success in 3-5th grade. Interventions match need. Close Reading Group to get Lexile higher. They are all push in groups, so the aides come into the classroom.

Serving on the School Community Council

Serving on our School Community Council is a wonderful way for parents and teachers to contribute and help improve academic performance at our school.  The school receives an annual dividend from the school trust lands.  Our council decides how these funds will be used.  This year our school received $32,000 from the School LAND Trust Program.  The council reviews and prepares other academic plans for our students each year.  All plans are reviewed for final approval by our school board.  Councils also act in an advisory capacity to school and school district administrations.

Qualifications

Every public school in Utah has a School Community Council.  The councils are made up of school employees who are elected by employees and parents who are elected by parents of students attending the school.  Membership terms are for two years.  Elections are held at the beginning of each school year. Parent members must have a student attending the school at least one of the two years of their term of service.  Employees must be employed by the school district at the school.  For more information please visit www.schoollandtrust.org.

Please fill out EITHER the Parent member information OR the Employee member information.

The from is due to the school principal before May 2016

Yes! I would like to serve on the School Community Council
