4:10 - 4:30 School Improvement Plan

AYP chart - Federal Adequate Yearly Progress

Who didn't make AYP? Many ESL students. How are we targeting these students? Title 1 funds go for aids that will help these students and all other students as well. We will also be implementing Guided Reading and Guided Math. We have a plan to help the students be separated into their academic level so they can have a better opportunity to grow.

4:20 Sarah Ann Delaney had to leave.

4:30 Delores Droesbeke had to leave.

4:30 Holly Fjeldsted and Ivy Foster are concerned about the new common core and homework. After discussion we have been informed that all children will be targeted for growth from year to year.

4:35 We discussed Imagine Learning. A vocabulary building program to help the kids who didn't meet gains on the AYP. With a planned extended time at 8:30 AM for these students. Possible use of older students to mentor them with reading.

Multi-Flow Map

• Identify Cause & Effect

• Goals: Literacy, Numeracy, ESL

4:40 Facilities

We looked over the overall rating of our building and the proposed budget to repair and upgrade Wilson Elementary. Possible plan to move the parent pickup to 400 East and take out part of the playground to make a circle drive. This should help with congestion of vehicles and the safety of students.

4:45 Bus System and Route Safety for students... is there a way to get money for the kids to not have to pay as much to ride the bus if they are not far away? Possibly a bake sale or another type of fundraiser?

4:50 Meeting Times and Days

Lunch Accounts

Parents may pay weekly, monthly, yearly, etc. Lunch deposits go directly into the student’s computer account and are withdrawn as the student comes through the lunch/breakfast line. Lunch money can be paid online or in the school office. If payment is sent with the child at any time during the school year, please enclose the payment in an envelope with your child’s name on it. LUNCH ACCOUNTS SHOULD BE KEPT UP TO DATE. It is district policy that no more than 3 charges be allowed. If your child was on Free/Reduced lunch status last year and you have not yet received a letter from the Logan City School District informing you of Free/Reduced lunch status approval, you must reapply for the current year. We encourage you to reapply as soon as possible. Free/ Reduced lunch applications are available in the office. Lunch calendars are available online on the District website loganschools.org under the parent drop down. If you do not have access to the internet, contact the school to receive a copy of the lunch calendar.
