2. Issues on the bus Discussion ensued about the behavior problems on the bus. Patti told the members that a request has been made to meet with the contractor and the bus driver to go over reasonable expectations for the bus driver’s responsibilities. Earlier requests to have a video camera and to change the bus driver with another bus driver of a different route were not granted. There has been no further issues since the suspension of students off the bus. A question was asked if parents could be bus monitors and Patti would contact student transportation to find out if this is possible. A memo had been sent home stating that physical acts will not be tolerated on the bus and Patti had gone around to all the classrooms to remind all students of proper bus behavior.

3. Extra-curricular activities Brenda Bishop read a letter from a parent which outlined concerns about the lack of extra curricular activities at Acreman Elementary. This included after school and lunch time activities. Patti would see which parents had signed up for this type of volunteering at the school and look into the lunch time sports.

School calendar for 2018-2019

The school calendar for the 2018-2019 school year has been approved by the school district. There is not much change from this school calendar with the added long weekend in February.

Spring photo package from Lifetouch

Lifetouch Photography has scheduled to do Spring pictures. Parents can order what they want from this package.

Any issues

Carolyn Jerrett read a letter from a parent that outlined some concerns. As these concerns were addressed during the meeting (bussing, PE program, and extra curriculuar) and that this particular parent was in attendance, no further discussion was needed as the issues were already covered.

Date for next meeting

This would be decided at a later date.
