    • Lyles, Lakey is replacing her?
    • Thorne is willing to serve again.
  • You can bring back to your groups/grade level and find those interested in serving

  • We will ask PTSA again about a parent representative
  • Please bring up at next grade level before now and the end of the year, either take name or have them email email Brendan
  1. Any grade level concerns?
  •  Dress Code:  Gentry to send out a reminder email to have teachers send kids with the pink slip pass if dress code violation.
  • Overall check process is still in effect:  Here's that email sent out 5/20
Staff:

With the weather getting warmer and students wearing more questionable clothing, SIT is reaching out to you to remind everyone that the dress code policy is still in effect and the dress code check is still available in Room #712 during home base.  Please feel free to use the Dress Code Pass (an extra copy is attached for your convenience) if you have an issue.  

In addition, SIT is reviewing the school's dress code policy to recommend any additions, etc. for next year's student handbook.  

Thanks and have a great afternoon!

  • Thorne:  What about the shorts that do not fit? and the rule and the biker shorts?
  • Can we send a reminder of that clarification?
    • kids think length doesn't matter as long as they have the leggings on
Lisa:  survey reminder to send that out to be completed by next Monday?
  • Gentry sent out a link to the survey asking teachers to complete
Staff,

Attached is a survey link for a staff survey that SIT is conducting in regards to student behavior, staff training, etc. It is only 14 questions in length, and SIT would love to have your input on these items. The survey link is listed below. Please take a few moments to complete. All surveys should be completed by this Friday.
