Present 11/16/20: Erin Ratner (President) Stephanie Assuras (Secretary), Megan Coryat (Secretary), Charles Reilly (Principal), Parents

Financial Report:

• No financial update due to pandemic transition, Christopher is working to get the onsite materials. 

Goals/Current Issues:

• The board interested in establishing programs/events to foster community, particularly during this challenging time.

• Fundraising is being explored, but we recognize that given the current crisis this might be challenging for many.

• The board is interested in helping those students/families who cannot access Google Classrooms. Mr. Reilly noted that this is a city-wide issue. Sylvia is preparing a list of students who do not have access 

• Parents expressed interest in having a gingerbread house event similar to prior years. The PA may be able to provide some funds to purchase gingerbread house kits (e.g., Trader Joe’s approx. $8). We will continue to brainstorm ways to produce the event:

  • Zoom at scheduled time?

  • Do we send kits to families?

  • How would they get them?

• Mr. Reilly addressed the possible school moving full-remote. Teachers are preparing materials to be picked up by families should onsite learning be suspended.

• The window to opt into in-person school has closed, but contact Mr. Reilly if still interested.

Calendar:

• No established meeting calendar as we try to find out best timing for people given changing in-person/remote schedule.

• Mr. Reilly will plan to do Zoom check-ins every Friday 1:35

• Sing along is planning to resume 11/20/20 in some capacity. Details will be provided by Wednesday 11/18/20.
