Table Talks – Karen reported on Parent Connect

Parent Networking – Karen & Phyllis will talk about this at next PTSA meeting

3) Phyllis explained the new course proposals. The new courses will be Robotics, Speech & Debate and Foreign Language (Mandarin Chinese).

Robotics would be the next level of Applied Physics. Course would be called Applied Physics 2. Would count as either a Math, Science or Occupational Ed credit.

Speech & Debate would be offered at all grade levels. Would be offered as an elective or could be a credit aligned with Citizenship.

Foreign Language would offer Mandarin Chinese. May be merged with Running Start with classes taught here at Sehome. Students would receive college credit.

Steve signed off on the proposals.

4) Phyllis reviewed the previous goals, requested site council select one or two goals to focus on. The two goals selected were Parent-to-Parent Mentoring Program and a Parent Communication Network.

Was decided these would be the two items we would work on. Will try to incorporate security into these two items.

Meeting adjourned at 4:00 p.m.
