AES K-5 Building Accountability

The AES K-5 BAC met on September 20^th. We discussed the K-5 budget and requested additional information to include specific information regarding last year’s 4^th grade field trip. We also discussed fund raisers for the 2012-2013 school year. The only fund raiser will be the Pie fund raiser. The 4^th grade classes may have additional fund raisers to help fund their end of year Denver field trip. The money raised from selling pies will go into an “Activity Fund” which will help purchase new books and shelves for each library, set up of aquariums in each building, curriculum support (maps, globes, etc.) and field trips. We learned from Mr. Bilderbeck that the leveling & gravel work on the overflow parking lot will begin on September 24^th and continue for 2 weeks. The goal is to have the lot ready for the Fun Run on October 5^th. Mr. Bilderbeck stated that Neenan is taking care of the parking lot work.

Community Concerns:

•  Substitute Teacher Procedure Manuals – in process

• K-2 lunch tables – Mrs. Smith reported that district did not have additional tables and that Mr. Alejo said he would buy tables, if needed. After observing lunch periods, it is Mrs. Smith’s opinion that new tables will not be necessary.

• Power School – Julie Brooks (A-PAGE representative) reported that results of Parent Needs Assessment Survey conducted at end of last year indicated that K-5 parents are not familiar with Power School. Julie also reported that A-PAGE would like to volunteer to help parents set up Power School accounts during Parent/Teacher Conferences on October 8^th and 11^th. Tracy Wetzler and Daniel Quintana will provide district help.

• G/T Plan?? Position for G/T Coordinator is still open. Mark Meyer is heading the program until position is filled.

• Building/Classroom temperature calibration – in process

Next BAC meeting will be October 18^th at 5:15pm in K-2 Conference Room.
