  1. We have received our check for Onestopschoolshop from the summer purchases.  We discussed the new company schoolpop.  They have bought the onestopschoolshop company.  Charlie will get information to review at our March meeting.  Concerns were raised that the cost of some items is high.  Parents have also voiced concerns about the amount of supplies needed.

3.   Susan arranged the Study Skills display in the Learning Center.  Judy Carnavos will work with Mary Jeanne to get new titles for parents and teachers to borrow.  These include helping children with homework, preparing for tests, etc.  If any staff knows of good, proven-to-be-helpful resources, e-mail Judy Carnavos and we will discuss purchasing them.  Sheila has agreed to include our titles in the next Learning Center newsletter.

4.      We have not received any new applications from teachers for $15 for study skills purchases.  The pink applications are in the house offices.  Four teachers have been approved so far.  Please consider applying if you have found something that would help your students organize.

5.  A-pad:  We discussed adding study skills tips and material related to helping students (organize and study). Last year we added test-taking tips and other organizational suggestions. Judy will e-mail staff for ideas.  This will need to be given to Amy Tubbs in the spring.

 

Reminder:  Next meeting is Friday, March 11 at 8 am in MOCR.  Hope to see you there.
