continues through the Feb. Count Day, our school may be entitled to Targeted
Assistance Title 1 funding the following year. It is important that people fill out
and turn in their Free & Reduced lunch forms to help determine what kind of
funding our school can receive.
III.
Parents/Teachers: Questions or Comments
a. Drop-Off: There was parent concern over drop-off procedures not being followed.
Some possible solutions brought up were…
*Communication of the correct procedures with the PEEP classrooms

*Mentioned @ Open House and in the September newsletter
b. Low parent attendance at the meetings was discussed and it was mentioned that

2015-2016
Agenda
PTO Board Meeting

c. Communications
i. Teacher Wishlist App will be introduced to the teachers at the next staff
meeting – Wed, Sept 30th by Kellie Simmons.
V.
New Business
a. Merchandise Chairperson: Angela wondered if it would be a good idea to ask for a
volunteer to be in charge of the merchandise, coordinate orders/forms, hold on to
the merchandise and make sure the merchandise gets to events. Demecia will see
if someone is available. Janet asked if that person could better coordinate with the
treasurer to better keep track of who owes and for what, better record-keeping.
b. Trunk or Treat: There was interest at the meeting and a suggestion for a new form
to be sent out to let us know the level of interest (would want approximately 20
ppl/families).
c. Ms. Corrigan mentioned that Indian Prairie is invited to participate in the KCHS
parade on September 25th if anyone is interested. The high school is using Indian
Prairie's parking lot for staging at 5pm and the parade is at 6pm.
