March K-5 BAC (3/22/12)

The AES K-5 Building Accountability Committee met on March 22, 2012. We reviewed the School Improvement Plan which is to be submitted to the Colorado Department of Education in April. There are four strategies targeted for improvement including holding stakeholders (parents, teachers, staff) accountable for student achievement, creating relevant curriculum, re-focusing PLC's based on student data and, developing a system to engage parents, family & community in the educational process.

We reviewed and discussed line item ledgers for school fundraisers and the recent Book Fair. Through the Book Fair, AES earned $3,887 in Scholastic Dollars to purchase new books.

The AES PTO gave $1,500 toward the 4th grade Denver field trip. Each grade will now have a specific field trip. Kindergarten will do a Community Walk (visit to fire station, library, museum, picnic in Cole Park); 1st grade will ride the train; 2nd grade has not yet been decided; 3rd grade will go to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, 4th grade will go to Denver (Museum of Nature & Science, Aquarium, Zoo); 5th grade will go to Sand Dunes & Ft. Garland.

Updates:
Lunch tables - New lunch tables were delivered to K-2 but they were the wrong tables. Still waiting for correct tables to arrive.
Overflow Parking - BOE is collecting bids for road base project to be completed in three phases. The goal for AES is to have first phase completed and signs posted to designate overflow lot as main drop off/pick up for 3-5 building by beginning of next school year.

New Concerns: Cold weather policy - chart was handed out. You can view chart here.

Upcoming Events: Literacy Night will be on April 17th.

Next BAC meeting will be April 19 at 5:15pm. PTO will meet on April 19 at 4:15pm.
