NOVEMBER 18, 2015

Meeting began at 2:45.  Minutes were approved.  

Discussion turned to the CSIP plan and its implementation here at Panorama Elementary.  Everyone is working together to ensure that students are receiving the help that they need.  Data regarding all students is being recorded and discussed at PLC meetings.  Progress is being seen on every grade level.

The discussion then turned to Digital Citizenship.  Mr. Gregoire and Kathryn Bundy attended a meeting for Community Councils that was held specifically for internet safety.  Each schools Community Council is charge of presenting guidance and information to students and parents regarding internet policy, safety and citizenship.  The community council, in cooperation with the school, has to report what protocols are in place regarding internet safety.  There was a lengthy discussion about what filters are used here at school, what teachers and lab aides are doing to ensure internet safety, what devices are being used here at school and what action will be taken when inappropriate content is viewed by a student.

Our job, at school, is to equip students with the tools to make good decisions when they are on the internet.  If we find inappropriate content or viewing by a student, whether malicious or accidental, the parents will be called.  Parents will be encouraged to have a conversation with their student.

Our next meeting will be on January 20, 2016.

New members were introduced.  There was a short discussion on what Community Council is and our job as a member.  Lora explained that Community Council oversees, with the guidance and help of the principal, how School Trust Lands money is distributed and how it is used.  The council has a responsibility to make sure that internet safety and other safety measures are taught to the students and to assess the needs of the school (reading, technology, etc.).
