Reminder that we are moving meetings to second Tuesday of each month.
Reviewing last year’s school safety plan report:
-Locking gates during the day, securing doors
-Adding a gate at the field near the marquee because it’s an open pass through currently.
Reviewing last year’s digital citizenship:
-Educating students and sending info to the community
-Bought lockboxes for phones and watches last year. When they are not on school wifi, they are not under CSD filtering guidelines.
-Third grade does not have lock boxes. Ms. Stacy will look into that.

-Cars parked on 2700 E facing north, just south of the crossing guard (at 7115 S), block visibility and put her in a blind spot. Request a red curb or no parking signage.
