2. Approve Minutes from SCC Meeting on October 15, 2024

1. • Marco Zavaleta moved to approve the minutes, second by Lucie Chamberlain. SCC minutes from 10/15/24 was unanimously approved by SCC members in the room.

3. School Safety Updates:Tricia Ellison, School Safety Chair
   • CrisisGo app

   • Next month’s drill is a Hold Drill. This drill will take place on December 4th, 2024.
     
     
4. Review and Discuss Alta View’s Attendance Policy: Scott Jameson, Principal
   • Jameson reviewed where to find our attendance policy on the school’s website.
   • 9 days absence or less is our goal. This corresponds to a 95% school attendance. Based on research, students who attend 95% or more days of school are less likely to fall behind.
   • Calling the office to let the school know the reason excuses the absence, but doesn’t erase the absence.
   • Motivation: Rocky Roadrunner Posters, weekly roaming trophy reward, monthly reward is to film morning announcements with Mr. Jameson, quarterly reward (one student per grade) chooses a prize, end-of-year reward to a student schoolwide. The PTA sponsors the end-of-year reward.
   • One of the SCC members in attendance asked if the attendance reward initiative was being effective. The answer was yes! given that the school has seen an increase in attendance from 25% last year to 55% from students that were chronically missing school.

5. Review and Approve Safety Annual Plans:Scott Jameson, Principal

William Nettles moved to approve and Marco Zavaleta seconded the motion. All SCC members were in favor of approving the safety annual plans.

• • • Review and Approve School Safety Plan for 24-25
    • Teachers reported Issues with the crosswalks. Parents are driving too fast and too close, almost hitting people. Also, parents are parking and blocking the crosswalks causing dangerous situations.
    • On the website, under family information, there are maps and drop off information.
    • Suggestions: create the first row in the parking lot for visitor parking, dedicated for parents who want students to stay in their car until the bell rings. Also, bright flags that indicate where the crosswalks are to make them visible.
