All parents will be invited to the next PTSO meeting & Parents Advisory Council (PAC). The meeting will take place 6:30pm at Glenforest School. Contact Dr. Tom Major or Mrs. Sandy McGuckin to get more information. Thank you.
Past Meeting Minutes Include:
PAC Meeting / January 23, 2012
In Attendance: Kim Bendillo, Tom Major, Becky Pierce, Barron Smith, Betty Malone, Chris Winkler, Lisa Henry, Shayna Simoneaux, Monica Miller
Randy Wilson was the guest speaker for the evening and presented ways for the school to consider in their future growth:
- Separate emblems for various school events including athletics and academics
- All visual advertising wording should have a common element
- Having someone else come in and look at our grounds could offer a different perspective and see things we don’t that could be upgraded
- His company would plan to interview our stakeholders to find out what we might implement for a shared vision in areas like advertising, grounds, etc. Also, there might be ways to reconfigure layout / facilities from the way we are using our current space.
Mr. Winkler asked parents present at the meeting if they thought he should pursue working with Mr. Wilson. The parents present said they thought it would be a good idea. A future meeting with Mr. Winkler and Mr. Wilson was agreed upon.
