How often parents should be checking them? 00:57:45 Caitlin Barreca: Dojo is fantastic! Very glad our class has that! Thank you 00:57:48 Erin Gingrich-Gaylord: My kids teachers update their classroom websites every Friday and send a Class Dojo/Talking Points message when they do. Like Principal Bass-Barlow said, I've bookmarked each classroom website page and have gotten used to checking them each week for snack schedule, photos from the week, etc. 00:58:31 Caitlin Barreca: naishia has a question 00:58:37 Brenna: yes, class dojo is a great communication tool 00:59:12 Courtney Lewis | KC Chamber: Can we talk about communication coming from Infinite Campus. How are absences are marked in Infinite Campus? I see that a single absence was noted FIVE times in there, and it shows my son was absent 7 times this year. It was one. Not sure how they care counted? 01:00:47 Jacqueline A. Dillard: Replying to "Can we talk about co..." Courtney, that has happened to me in the past and I have reached out to the school directly to get attendance corrected in Infinite Campus. 01:00:51 Bayman: Why are assistants moved seemingly frequently? For example , Ms. Moody was in Ms. Shaw’s class. And then Ms. Shaw left. From the outside , it seems like those kids would have benefited more from a consistent assistant during such a bug change - but she was moved right after. I just didn’t make sense 01:06:39 joannleach: quick question is pta providing lunch for staff tomorrow during ptc? that has happened in the past.. 01:09:31 Jasmin- Border Star PTA: introductions: name, kid, how long you have been at Border Star! 01:12:34 Jasmin- Border Star PTA: document your responses here please: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iDqiw7WNhhpafujCpWBgHi2FqTy21fp5KWk6Ya6_TTc/edit?usp=sharing 01:32:01 Bo: Ms. Deckard is the go to for lower and upper el 01:34:33 Bo: Children's house is legally required to have an assistant in the classroom 01:35:31 Jacqueline A. Dillard: Bring back the Coffee and Chat with the Principal to create the intimate opportunity to discuss things happening around the building with staff, communications, and this also creates the opportunity to build trust and strengthen relationships 01:39:23 Caitlin Barreca: Reacted to "Bring back the Coffe..." with ❤️ 01:41:06 Tj: Reacted to "Bring back the Coffe..." with ❤️ 01:42:40 Colleen Simon - She, Her, Hers: Big agreement with "let us be part of the solution." I don't expect staff to do it all. They are giving their all already. 01:43:25 Courtney Lewis | KC Chamber: Reacted to "Bring back the Coffe..." with 👍 01:44:00 Bo: can we add a check-in on school test scores at the next meeting. We had some information on that at the end of last year and it would be good to see if improvements are being made. 01:44:12 Merryl Nik-Khah: Reacted to "Big agreement with "…" with ❤️ 01:44:18 Christian Lenz: I will be at Holliday next week for an MMUN mixer with the PTA parents there.... I can try to build a bridge, but in a good word 01:45:28 Todd Moore, AAFP: Field Day Fun Day!! 01:45:54 Todd Moore, AAFP: I DO!!! 01:46:00 Bayman: Me me! 01:46:36 Christian Lenz: Good meeting tonight - appreciate all the dialogue 01:46:40 Todd Moore, AAFP: outgoing chair 01:47:15 Caitlin Barreca: Thank you everyone! 01:47:19 Bo: thanks
