on vacation until October 23rd Advisories We need to work on a plan. We discussed the role of the councilor in the process. They
will be filling out a form (already required by law) for each student that will provide an educational plan and will show
what each student has done. We had planned to have teachers and students gather such information but since it will be already
done we have decided to let the councilors gather the information and then copy it for the teacher of each advisory or SSR
group or whatever form it takes. It was also suggested that advisory
could be set up as a 50 minute session two times a week, similar to the schools that use a tutorial period when on block schedules.
The final section of the meeting dealt with our individual project teams: (what follows is the report from each team: Members – Marsoobian, Getsova,
Gutierrez, O.Salas, Group Leader O. Salas and M. Kvapil Student led conferences are already
in place. We will focus on thematic interdisciplinary
projects. We build the structure for thematic unit in English, Biology, International Trade and Culinary Arts Meeting will take place during SLC
meetings. A concrete plan should be in place
by spring semester. At the next meeting each group member
will introduce an idea. Members - L. Finley, C. Finley, T. Pauli,
Group Leader – Cindy Finley The elective are already in place.
Better lay-out of the master schedule is needed to allow flexibility for “out of school” classes. We need “pure” SLC classes in our “Core” elective class. (Example – Letty’s
Global Trade but for each academy. Try to have a “pure” class for each academy within the school and pure academic
class (English/social studies) for each academy. For math classes for spring before
winter break fails need to be determined to see what courses will be offered. L. Finley will check with teachers to get numbers
to determine need. Other classes will basically roll over. Next step for this group is in December. Intervention and Personalization Members – Sandoval, Noble,

student progress with data being collected in progress Communication will take place through
the website – monthly SLC meetings This will be an ongoing process
and a review at the end of each semester will be required. The next step for the group is to
evaluate data as a group and decide when intervention is needed and when (i.e. homeroom) Out Reach to Parents and Communication Members - J. Gregson, B. Grejeda,
