reminded if there is any physical altercation, there should be a call to security. There is no

mandate to get physically involved in a physical altercation, but witnessing teachers should take

appropriate action to alert building admin./security.. As reported in last months minutes, if any

injury is sustained due to interaction with a student, however slight, you should report it to the

principal or assistant principal. Once an incident report is submitted, you should follow that with

an email to your administrators. This includes the ESP and FASE classes.

B. Budget Vote: Great news that our District budget passed and reached the override of 60%.

The only Juniors allowed to park on campus are those who won spots at the Junior Auction and

one student with a special medical allowance. Seniors are very good at reporting underclassmen

to B-123, but if you know of an underclassman parking on campus you can report the name and/

or plate number to B-123. Senior parking privileges can also be in jeopardy as a consequence.

Discussion around parking tags also occurred, with suggestions to change the color or add a

sticker indicating the school year so that the tags cannot be reused.

In PowerTeacher, the two-week quick lookup appears accurate in reflecting a student’s attendance,

correct this?

The quick lookup/two-week view should be accurate with all attendance codes present, and

“Meeting Attendance” will also display all absence codes. If you select attendance by clicking on

the number of absences listed under S2 for a given period, it will only list absences when a student

is out of the building (for NYS reporting purposes). In the past there have been errors when testing

In addition to teacher and counselor outreach, families receive quarterly attendance reports. APs

run cut reports weekly, the attendance office sends automated phone calls daily,

counselors/psychologists/APs/SRO will conduct home visits for chronic absenteeism, CPS is

contacted in cases of suspected educational neglect, BASIS BOCES program assistance, etc.

Procedures are individualized for each student. There is no clear number of absences that trigger

these procedures, just as the same formula for motivation/ consequences will not work for all

students. Please continue to contact the student’s counselor and AP if there are concerns.

Staff assigned to NIDs in the hallway next to the senior patio are asked to relocate outside when
