1. Comprehensive Needs Assessment Groups Update

• Wrapping up in June
• Gentry: 
• Looking at your report, there maybe other places you can go to get information/data
• She can help you, and you can also list data that would be helpful.
• Stick to those three or four questions in the guide sheet .
• Needs before you leave for the summer

2. Student Handbook Changes for next school year

• Copy of the student handbook
• First ten to 15 pages of the information 
• we need feedback for next meeting--by June 12^th 
• (Lakey will not be here—has a workshop)  
• Any items to add?, changes?, reworded, etc. make a note of it, and bring to the next meeting. 
• They have really worked on this so it should be in decent shape.  
• But dress code may need a second look.

3. Next Year's Members

• Who is rotating off?
• You are obligated to serve two years
• You have an option to continue to serve up to four consecutive years. 
• 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
• If not, we will take it from there and appoint, or you may continue to serve.
• Lakey was technically the parent rep but she could continue to serve as EC since her child is leaving
• 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

4. 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!

• Do we have a PDF of the pass to send out and they can print out more?
• Gentry sent   this Pass out in an email

• 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.
