Evaluation/Promotion Policy Middle Years and High School

If a student misses an exam he or she will be considered ABSENT for that exam. A rewrite will be considered for the student only if a parent contacts the teacher before the exam, as to the validity of his/her absence. The student will then make arrangements with the teacher on his/her return to school to immediately write the exam.
Should a major unforeseen problem arise wherein the parents cannot contact the teacher, mutual common sense steps will be taken with the teacher, student, and the parents involved to adjust a mark or give a rewrite.

Reporting Periods/Grade Classifications/Evaluation

Following Core Curriculum Guidelines and Grade Classifications are as follows:

There will be three reporting periods for grades K-5 students and four reporting periods for grades 6-12 students. There are parent/teacher interviews in November and March following the first term and third term reporting periods (first and second term for K-5 students).

The necessity of a student repeating a grade in elementary and middle years will be determined through Administration, Teacher, and Parent Consultation with the student’s best interests and welfare always in the forefront. Secondary students pass by subjects and not by grade.

Present: Steve P, Gerard D, Connie B, Jim J, Brian F, Darren Y, Suzie C,

Meeting to order at 7:05

Business Arising From Previous Meeting
- Walk to Breakfast will continue with grades K-10
- If resources are available in Feb, ESL may be available to work in our
school. Too difficult to hire a teacher to travel between all the schools
– could add to teaching time in our school (ex. Jackie Bay ½ time could
add to her time)
- Alice B is still no better; surgery may be the only alternative
- Gail Donaldo will not be working in our school as a volunteer as she has
found other employment
- A larger bus has been made available for Michelle C bus route
- We gained two students – Josh (gr. 11) and Kelsey (gr. 8) Woodward –
Leland Dosch farm – from Warman We are up to 112 – but Prescesky’s
will leave and then 110.

Financial Statement
The only additional cost since last meeting was the Meet and Greet Night
doughnuts $60.00. SCC has received the grant and maintenance money for
the 07/08 school year, and had the full carryover from last year with the
one cost of the grad pins. Present balance is $3778.07 in the SCC Grants
and $3924.33 maintenance.

Principal Report
- Alice Buttinger herniated disc (off to March 1). If surgery required
she may not be back this year. For now Jackie Bay went from ½ time to
full time and Linda Sarauer has been offered a ½ time contract.

dozen large boxes
- Pizza Sale Profit – last day of school $181.24, Christmas Concert
$546.85, Christmas Concert bake sale $185.00 for a total of $913.09
- This year we are making our own yearbooks. It usually cost $2300.00 to
publish at St. Peter’s College. We sold 40 books at $30.00 = 1200.00 +
500.00 (yearbook ads) = 1700.00 taken in. About 600.00 lost on the cost
of the yearbooks sometimes more because not all yearbooks sold. **This
year if we were to charge 30.00 as usual the 1700.00 will be paid to the
decentralized budget to cover photocopying costs, toner, covers, computer
ink, cartridges, etc. Should we charge less – Horizon Protocol states
that a profit cannot be made. After discussion the SCC agreed that the
actual cost is unknown, that the price/book is reasonable and the cost
should remain 30.00/book.
- Annaheim School Student Code of Conduct – The SCC reviewed the code of
conduct and had input for changes and additions. It was felt it was very
nice and it should be shared with students and sent home in the next
newsletter. It was also mentioned that it could be broken into parts and
displayed in different parts of the school.

Staff Representation Report
No concerns

Division Report
Jim K was not present so no report

New Business
- Annual meeting date set for Feb 25/08; Steve will make up posters
- Steve and Brian will put together an annual report for the annual meeting
- Darren Y presented a draft of a request for bursary/scholarships,
decided to discuss further at the next meeting
- Some discussion on setting an annual budget. Brian will talk to the
staff and Suzie will discuss with students and put together a “wish” list.
We will discuss this at our next meeting.
- The SELU Report was discussed. Generally it reflects a very positive
environment in the school and that the teachers are doing a good job.
Although the report asked to have the transport of students to Lake Lenore
for industrial arts and home economics reviewed, it was felt that in
Annaheim many students work at Doepker Ind., Stammen Lumber, the Dairy
Farm, Small Motors and that the practical work experience provided is
perhaps better than taking these courses. Students had several other
areas of concern in the report greater than this. Only a small percentage
of parents 12% had requested it. It was unanimous that this was not a
need or concern at this time.
Overall the report was quite positive. The student well being goal and
action plan was discussed. Two main concerns from the SELU report – ESL
program as Doepker’s is continuing an aggressive immigration policy. Also
concern with upgrading the library, we will provide more money over the
next couple years to continue to provide resources for the library.

Principal’s Report
1. Business from previous minutes:
Computer lab is working well this year. Rick Block said this is the best it has ever worked.

Tim Hollis – maintenance supervisor was out to set plans for our computer lab also to look at our roof which needs repair. Plans are being made to repair our roof. Also this summer an overhaul to our computer lab. Some concern over Tim Hollis’ perspective – and what his proposal might look like. He had a very negative view of small schools. Brian will talk to Linda Mattock and e-mail Christine Suchy.
The plan is to have an upgrade to our computer lab this summer.
Some concern about trees around the school. Did not feel students climbing on roof was a problem. Trees have been cut back somewhat.
Enrolment up to 111 from 103. South Africans arrived just in time. Staff numbers will remain the same for this year.
Four new students. Blaine D. (grade 6), and Brent D. (grade 2), Minda D. (grade 7) and Roberto D. (grade 6).

Nutrition – Saskatoon Public Health Department Carolyn Chu presentation was for teachers. Not what we were looking for – no go.
Karen Siermachesky is having surgery but when she returns she will be giving a nutrition presentation to K-6 – also information will be sent home.

Brian has sent a note home about nutrition and the Walk to Breakfast. The Walk to Breakfast was well received – done twice. Will continue for the meantime especially if the weather stays nice. After that might try walking inside.
There will be a 10 minute walk every Wednesday before first recess followed by a nutritious snack. Emphasizes the importance of exercise and proper nutrition. This will replace the DEAR on Wednesdays?

Playschool starting Wed., Oct. 10 for age 3 and 4. This was the name chosen by Nadine Bley and Kendra Chornomitz.

Brian phoned Bev Gutenburg – Carlton Trail ESL – lost funding – perhaps because they wanted to help students – government may have supported an adult program – said schools job to educate students – program likely gone for good.

Brian e-mailed Boris Okrainetz about South Africans – Horizon looking into providing assistance – resources – perhaps hiring someone. There are many foreign students throughout Horizon.

Playschool will be added to the school community profile – teachers are making additions to the profile.
Linda Mattock said the school community profile combined is OK if the SCC approves it. The SCC felt the profile was just fine as is.


2. New Business:
Mrs. Rude will be taking a maternity leave at the end of January – will be looking for a math teacher.

Brian shared the math and reading action plans with the SCC.

Protocol updates: Governance, Roberts Rules of Order, School Operations Feasibility. School operations feasibility was read and discussed. Any feedback to the Division Board should go through Jim Kolbeck. No feedback at this time.

New family from Alberta moved to a farm between Annaheim and Spalding. Have 4 children and are homeschooling. Quite certain they are not in our attendance area but in the North East. Brian will contact them and also let Linda Mattock know.

SELU report – Memo from Marc Danylchuk read. SELU report will be out soon.

PRINCIPALS REPORT
Brian had some ideas for SCC to be using some of the grant money to cover some costs that would normally come from somewhere else.

Grad pins $50.00
Cleaning computers $160
Provincial sports banners and pictures $300
Rental of bowling alley $300
Replacing some library books $ ??

There was some discussion and the council felt that cleaning the computers should be a school function either covered by HSD or out of School centralized budget.

Provincial sports Banners may not be an expense every year and could be covered by SRC

SCC would cover bowling alley rental
SCC will cover grad pins


Motion: Connie Bley
To cover costs to rent the local bowling alley for student bowling. Seconded: Karleen Crone. Carried

Motion: Darren Yungmann
To cover the cost of grad pins for the 2007 grad cost $35.52. The SCC will cover these costs annually. Seconded: Gerard Doepker. Carried.


Also a discussion took place on a plan to replace library books over the next few years. It was agreed upon that we would a lot a sum of money this year and would review the expenses from our grant monies each September and assign an amount that will work for each year, until the librarian feels the immediate need has been filled. Discussion to assign approx. $1000.00 for this year to replace library books and to review next September.

Motion: Sheri Ulrich
