Study Skills Committee
Meeting Minutes

10/21/05 8 a.m.

Present: Judy Carnavos, Patty Hill, Lauren Linkowski, Sandy Stedge, Brigid Shogan, Nicole Kozlowski, Mary Ann Libertucci

Balance in account was given. No money is expected from schoolpop.com since they have filed for bankruptcy.

There are still a few A-pad wall charts left. There are also a few book covers. See Charlie in Room 456 if youd like these items.

Study Skills section has a few new titles. Latest additions are 4 sets of 30 booklets entitled "How to get good grades". They are available for sign out in the Learning Center. Great idea for home base. Sections include goal setting, how to manage your time, how to study, etc.

We will be continuing our support for teachers who value organizational skills and promote this in their classrooms. In all house offices, there are application forms. Teachers may request up to $15 for organizational needs (i.e. colored paper, filing systems, folders, etc). Last year we approved 5 requests. Consider making the request. Lauren Linkowski will collect the forms (her mailbox is in Tawasentha).

Patty Hill has offered to update our webpage after January. We are hoping to find someone to do this in the meantime. If anyone has been trained in Frontpage and would be willing to do 2-3 updates between now and January, let Judy Carnavos know.

The Paper Posse is back! Brigid Shogan and Sandy Stedge have offered to adopt a 6th grade team. They will set up time during activity periods to organize lockers for students in need of help.

We will be starting a recognition program this year showcasing organized students. You will hear more about this soon.

We are looking at having our own school supplies sale in August. This will be a huge endeavor for our committee (especially the first year). It was agreed that this is something worthwhile to pursue since the on-line school supply company has folded. We are hoping to elicit parent support for this and additional teacher support, as well.

Next meeting: Friday, Dec.2 at 8 am in the Learning Center.

Please consider joining this committee. Hope to see you there!
