| |has been given to parents. 2:40 pm dismissal for ALL students will begin on Tuesday, January 24th. Car riders will be dismissed at 2:40 pm |

| |and bus riders/walkers. Teachers can include in their newsletters, “Due to the large volume of car riders this year, we are asking that you |

| |do not start forming the car rider line until after 2:15pm each day.” |

| Tech Club |Mrs. Dunn has talked with Mr. Doherty about forming a Tech Club for 3rd – 5th grade students. This would be both after school and in school |

| |activities. Teachers can be thinking of students that would be good for this club. This is a great leadership opportunity for our students. |

| Review SWOT – Check Data for accuracy and next steps |We reviewed data to see if we should make changes to the OFIs or Next Steps sections. Q2 data will be reviewed once all assessments are |

| |complete. We noticed in reading a need to develop a summer reading program as K-2 seems to lose a lot of ground in reading from EOY to BOY. |

| |A. Thompson closed the meeting. |
