District Parent Council (DPC) Report
None at this time.
Current Council Events (Kym Reed)
• Cheryl shared update on website/blog (MuirPC.com). It is accessible from the Huron Valley Schools website.
• Anyone interested in signing up for listserv can do so via the MuirPC.com website.
• The magazine sale begins this week! It is our one big fundraiser (although there are other fundraisers for individual groups within Muir – i.e. Band). You can order magazines on-line at QSP.com or via the turn in process that will be shared during the assemblies. Kym needs parent volunteers.
• Parent/Teacher Conference Dinner will be coordinated by Becky King. Those interested in contributing can sign up and will be called by Becky closer to the date(s) which are October 9th and October 16th.
• Kym shared that all PC event sign-up sheets are in the back of the room and welcomes anyone to sign up to help.
• If you’re not sure what area you are able or interested in helping in – you can sign up on the general volunteer list.
Principal’s Report (Gayle Lizzet)
• Gayle shared that there are approximately 600 students enrolled at Muir. Over 400 students (combined with Highland Middle School) attended Teen Night held at Milford High School.
• New kid orientation had a great turn out.
• MEAP begins in October. Changes were explained.
• “Seminars” were explained – they take place one day a week (Wednesday) for 1/2 hour. Five minutes is taken off of each class that day to allow for “Seminar”. It has been very well received.
• Homework club is $25 per student per term. It is held on Tuesday’s & Thursday’s for one hour following the end of classes. Kids can complete homework with assistance as needed.
New Items
• A question was asked if there will be an International Academy (IA) meeting this year and did one occur last year? One did occur last year prior to the test – it was felt that the timing worked out fine from the parents that had kids involved last year. IA shadowing is available and the student shadowing will get credit for being at school. It will not be considered an absence.
• It was discussed that the Leadership Club will go off site for team building exercises.
• The family access forum, per Kym, doesn’t appear to have teachers email addresses linked. Gayle will look into this.
• Curriculum night was discussed.
• Helen brought up missing assignments (students that turn in their assignments but find that they receive an incomplete or ‘E’ for it not being turned in to then find that eventually the assignment is located). Gayle will mention to the staff.
• Intramurals will have a new teacher taking it over for Ms. Greenless (who retired) so it may take a while to get everything in order.
Next Meeting Date & Time: Tuesday – October 14, 2008 at 1 p.m. - Library
