Vikings of Valor
  • Sanders is keeping track of points for student behavior. Ms. Gray does some as well. Mr. Hare tracking too.  
  • If they get points, it adds up and harmful. If they accrue too many according to the contract, they are removed.
  • Kids want in, openings will be filled as students are showing efforts
  • Can send email to let Mr. Sanders know to give points. Can we do an email to communicate expectations for these students, and who to contact when they have behaviors that might earn points.

DMC
  • 3006 behavior events, 480 with referrals AA- 31% , up from 27% last year. 640 students no referrals. Top 3- Failure to respond, non-attendance, and leaving class without permission.
  • Behaviors have decreased from last year, but non-attendance to class has decreased as well. Decreased as the months go down. Decreased about 100 per month on behavior events, but we had more students last year. Last year we weren’t required to put in non-attendance to class.
  • Freshman academy runs reports on attendance.
  • HSA and IMA are supposed to write up cuts.
  • Admin please explain protocol on cuts at the next faculty meeting.
  • Overall female behavior events have increased at the freshman and sophomore levels. Are they having more behavior issues, or has the gender population affected the number?
  • 15.3% 9th female, 14.7% 9th male
  • 21.1% 10th female, 23.7% 10th male

Viking Feedback Form
  • Problem - Too many field trips
    • CSIP- Planned for many more trips this year
    • Possible Solution- Limit or cap, prioritize

    • Possible Solution- Google Sheet with lists, posted a certain time frame before the trip
    • Mr. Littles can work on devising a plan to the admin for the procedures put in place.
  • .Problem- Block Days- students do not have the stamina and focus
    • Possible Solution- Next year, regular periods, viking time and advisory on Friday
    • Block days after lunch- heavy with behavior issues
    • Scheduling alterations on block throws students off
    • Look at this for next year, audit might give information about this. Process to change block schedule is a big procedure
  • Problem- Pi Day
    • Possible solution: Freshman Academy- Pi Day 3/14/19
  • Problem- In-school events pulling out of class without much/any notice
    • Possible solution: Follow field trip protocol. 1 week in advance. Lists or permission slips for that period. 72 hour notice.
  • Problem- Hallways are unsupervised during lunch, students skipping in the hall in groups. Safety and students not having concerns.
    • Possible solution- Work with the admin to come up with solutions. Lunch on IC, use cameras to identify kids, give actual consequences.
      • Admin are addressing this situation.
      • More visible admin, another security guard hiring
      • Library changed procedure for coming to lunch
    • Blue hall pass follow up- are we still using them, change color, refresh staff expectations
