1.  Meeting dates are:      No April meeting

May 13 @ 8 am MOCR

June 10 @ 8am MOCR 

2.  We discussed the new company schoolpop.  They have bought the onestopschoolshop company.  Prices are better and this is still the only company to offer this valuable, organized service (includes color coding emphasis, team list service, delivery to homes).  With the change in company, many questions were raised regarding supply lists and how they will be entered or updated.  Charlie will bring all questions to our sales rep and get back to us.

3.      Susan arranged the Study Skills display in the Learning Center.  A few new titles will be added due to some monies provided by the Learning Center.   Thank you to Sheila and Mary Jeanne.

 4.      We have received and approved one more teacher request for Study Skills monies (up to $15). The pink applications are in the house offices.  Five teachers have been approved so far.  Please consider applying if you have found something that would help your students organize.

 5.  Dan Chouiniere has done a great job updating our Study Skills link for us.  Click for yourself and see. 

 6.  Susan shared a copy of "How to get better grades".  We quickly reviewed it and Susan will get a teacher version to preview.  We will consider a purchase (for faculty) at the next meeting.

 7.  Judy will ask counselors to identify students who may be in need of assistance purchasing school supplies for next year. We will again provide a small package of supplies.

 Reminder:  Next meeting is Friday, May 13 at 8 am in MOCR.  Hope to see you there.
