3. New Business

    1. Parent Teacher Conferences (see attachment) – proposal from committee shared Potentially this means: 1 night of scheduling and 1 night open for conference with At-Risk and then an open house for others.
      1. Feedback:
      • The fall PTC is too early but for the transitioning students into Albion it is very helpful. Front-loading at Back to School Night would be more helpful.
      • Appreciate having the conferences earlier allows me to help my student adjust emotionally.
      • Midterm is a prior notice and sometimes it is seen as an ending point. The quarter report card is the midterm of the semester.
      • The Fall PTC does offer opportunities to go over Reading Inventory and Math Inventory scores.

2. Digital Citizenship – SCC Digital Citizenship Action Plan reviewed

  • Our Media Teacher also meets with the students at multiple times through the year as part of different subjects. She also sends out activities to teachers for students each month.
  • PTA will host a White Ribbon Week. Members of SCC had no further questions or concerns regarding the Digital Citizenship information presented.
