SCC Business

  • STEAM night feedback

Good attendance. Families rotated through the activities. Stamp card was a great success. Option of activities for younger students. VR sets were finicky. Create a reusable set of STEAM night posters. Variety of activities from year to year. District has STEAM kits (12 stations) now available to check out. Kits were already reserved the night we needed. Cena will investigate different STEAM kits and items available including Lego Robotics. Have a teacher and a parent at each station.

  • Elementary Planning Presentation and Feedback Requested

This proposal is going before the CSD Board on Tuesday, 2/20.

Daily Planning time- Supportive of 60 minutes of planning time M-TH

Increase school time by 10 minutes. M-Th 45 minutes of Brain Booster classes plus 15 minutes attached to the Booster block. No recess duty for teachers. Protected planning time 3 days a week and on Friday afternoons for teachers.

Extended Planning Block- Board concerned about shortened days on Fridays and additional Virtual Fridays. 

Assistant Principals/Admin Intern- Supportive but concerned about the cost.

IEP Block Scheduling- Supportive at school’s discretion.

What do you like-positive feedback?

Fourth booster available for students.

Much needed time for Elementary teachers.

Love to see a music booster.

LIke the idea of a 3.5 hour day on Fridays.

What are your concerns?

Planning time for EEC/resource teams

Booster teacher contract time. Will we lose BB teachers due to the 4 day schedule vs. 3 day schedule? Quality pay?

Give Elementary only PD days to allow for more planning time. Secondary already has more planning time.

Can teachers give students an additional 10 minutes of recess as a break when needed?

Add 10 minutes to the beginning of the day instead of the end.

Would you prefer to see money go to high quality booster teachers and classrooms v administrative assistants.

SCC is mixed on Virtual Fridays.
