The Pre-School & The Elementary School parents split up:
I. Elementary School Issues:
A. Parent Helpers: There are specific times and days that are suggested to help out with certain classes. Mon, Wed, Fri from 9:30–10:15 Math Helper is needed; Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri from 11:10–11:55 a Reading Helper is needed.
1. Rich is working on a calendar/schedule that we can help to use to organize these days and special class helpers.
B. Boys & Girls Club Wildlife Education field trip opportunity. The 1st Thursday of each month will be available for our students. Sam & Shelly have offered to host these field trips.
C. Weekly Cleaning Schedule: Every Friday, Saturday, or Sunday each parent will take turns with the cleaning schedule. This will include taking out the trash, recycling, mopping and overall dusting. As there are 8 families, our scheduled cleaning day will only occur once every two months.1. This will also be included on our online calendar-schedule.
II.Pre School Issues
A. Arriving on time- Parent's responsibilities to arrive on time on their work day (at 8:30-8:45 am). It is of the uttermost importance to be there in order to get snack done, children welcomed and signed in, and to be in the rooms for the interaction with the children at 9am promptly!
It is the parent's responsibility and not Teacher Lor's to be ready for the day...she has no responsibility in regards to the Care of the Children and her job responsibility is only as Teacher.....which is part of our license exemption.
Suggestions were made to help: Prepare snack items at pick-up the day before. One parent come early (2nd parent is ready “on the floor”), second cleans later. Empty dishwasher before leaving. When 9am and snack still not done, finish during circle time (last resort).
B. Snack time: The children will be called to wash hands (with a parent) and then sit down at table.....there will be dishes, water and glasses which they can fill and drink while waiting, when all are seated a parent can place the food on the table and assist the children in serving themselves- remember 2 servings to start!
C. Compost issue- We had an incident involving a plastic bag in the compost container and went on to review our composting mission with the instructions of paper bag only and to include a wash out of the container as deemed necessary by the parent dealing with the composting.
1. There will be a shovel out at the compost site as well. A parent will draw up a "reminder" card to put near the compost container as to help those parents that are new to the system or need a cheat sheet to help them know what to do!
D. Lesley mentioned that her husband picked up Ty one day and felt like he could have been anyone and there was no concern or structure in picking up the children... Usually Lorelei checks everyone, but when she is not there, parents are reminded of protocol:
1. If there is no one who personally knows the person who is picking up the child then we must ask for their I.D. and check it against the emergency card for persons authorized to pick up that child. If they are not on the card, the child’s parents must be called.
2. When being the only parent in the backyard position yourself so you can see the gate.
Adjournment:
Meeting was adjourned at 8pm by Lorelei VanPeborgh. The next general meeting will be at 6pm, December 1, 2009 in Incline Village, NV.
