Adoption of February meeting minutes: ​ Accepted and approved by all  II. Administrative Reports  A. Dr. Ford:   1. Dr. Ford (and others) have distributed flyers throughout the  community with facts about the upcoming Capital Project vote. On  3/7, at 5:30 pm in the school auditorium, there will be a community  forum/education forum. Members of the community are encouraged  to attend, to get information and to voice ideas, concerns, or ask  any questions. Child care and pizza will be provided in the  cafeteria. Food will be provided for adults after the forum. The vote  is 3/22, from 12­8, and people have been picking up absentee  ballots.   2. The PTO will be holding a bake sale and basket raffle during the  vote. The baskets will be Easter themed and desserts will be boxed  up and meant to take home for the whole family, not single serving  items. Holly has set up an event page on Facebook for anyone  interested in being a baker/spreading the word.  B. Mr. McFarland:   1. There's an open gym this Friday March 4th from 6:30 to 9. There  will be basketball, ping pong etc. Admission is $5 or $4 with a  canned good. Jen A will be chaperoning along with several staff  members, Sue Sedon, Shannon Fitzgerald, Mike Irie and others.  There will be snacks and drinks provided and Louise is donating  four $5 gift cards to Klippel’s as raffle prizes for attending the open  gym. Mr. McFarland hopes more open gym type nights can be  scheduled throughout the year. 

2.  ​ The Winter Ball this year will be on Friday, March 18th. The kids  made snowman favors including hot cocoa and candy canes.  Students also have some decorations and are wondering if the  PTO can help decorate/supply some more decorations. Anna E.  and Jenny C. volunteered to help decorate as did Louise. If anyone  is willing to help chaperone please let Mr. McFarland know.  3. The High School has started talking about scheduling for next year.  Grade 6 through 12 will have “Advisories’,  for example every  Friday take 3 minutes off of each class and at the end of the day  7­8 students will  meet with their advisor (who will be with them until  graduation.) Advisors will be discussing organization, time  management, fun events like pumpkin carving contest and other  things like class meetings. Buzz is building among the staff about  this, people are curious and excited to be involved. Middle School  scheduling will also be discussed, for instance how classes are  paired up. Math and science will be paired up as well as English  and social studies so sometimes kids will have regular 40 minute  classes and other times a double block 80 minutes of that class and  switch throughout the week.  4.  The next change will be in the required community service hours  for seniors to graduate. Right now it is at 10 hours for seniors only.  Mr. McFarland is looking to make a change for 40 hours by the time  they graduate. So next year's seniors will only have to complete 10  hours, juniors 20 hours, sophomores 30 hours, but freshman 40,  and all incoming freshmen after that, 40 hours. So far teachers  seem to like the idea. The way this will work is students will have to  get a form pre­approved/arranged with whoever they will be helping  for it to count towards the community service hours. Idea: At the  end of 4 years and award will be given for the most community  service hours, such as a scholarship etc. The main idea here is to  really get students involved and giving back to the community.  Along the same lines is the middle school Global Youth Services  day. Basically advisors and students will be teamed up and go  around the community doing whatever community service activity is  planned and then meet back up at the school for a BBQ, etc.   C. Mr. LaLone:   1. For the month of March the elementary school is doing a read for  the Ronald McDonald House fundraiser. Kids brought home 

packets with pledge/donations sheets and they can be handed in at  the end of the month.    2. Data meetings have been taking place, which are showing that the  kids are really responding to the reading interventions taking place  (at home and) in the classroom.   3. On Friday March 11th, there will be an open gym for grades 3  through 5 directly after school, from 2:45 to 4:30. There are several  staff members helping. Admission is $2 or bring a canned good.  The PTO will sponsor popcorn and juice.   4. The Utica Zoo will be doing an animal presentation on Thursday  March 3rd from 12 to 1 in the auditorium for grades pre­k through 5.   D. Treasurer’s Report  1. Cristen prepared and presented, accepted by all.   2. Previous balance: $5885.79​ .  Payouts include $50 for the Tech  Savvy Summit for girls, and the Utica Zoo presentation. ​ February  balance $5667.02. ​ Playground allocations $1426.10​  ​ (We will  discuss allocating more to the PG fund after the outcome of the  Capital Project Vote). ​ Balance remaining $4109.69   3. Collection Efforts  a) Box Tops ­ ​ Recieved a check in November, will receive next  check in the next school year.  b) Amerigas ­ ​ Cristen has it set up, anyone who uses  Amerigas can submit a portion of their bill/receipt and  Amerigas will donate a certain amount to the school. Spread  the word!  c) Labels for Education ­ ​ after 8/1 they will no longer be  printed. Labels will be accepted for submission until 11/1.  d) Tops ­ ​ we receive a check each year.   III.

PTO Events  A. Cabin Fever Events   1. Open Gym nights in March­ ​ separate events for ES/ MS ­ HS. 2  upcoming (discusses in Admin, reports) hope to plan more. 

2. Flight Trampoline Event for MS/HS ­ ​ Louise has it tentatively  scheduled for Friday, 4/1. Bus arrives at 8:45, kids jump for 1­1 1/2  hr, have pizza and be bussed home around 11:30ish. Permission  slips will be handed out, kids will have to prepay, about $20 a kid.  That will cover the $13/person jump fee, plus offset the cost of the  bus ($240 for the bus rental and driver. So far Louise and Jen A.  have volunteered to chaperone.   3. Scrabble Night​ ­ Maybe tie in with one of the future open gym  nights.  4. Rollerskating­ ​ Thinking about a PTO fundraiser, ‘Northville Family  Skate Day’. (HIgh Rollers in Amsterdam) This way we can still get  the group rate (kids/families pre­pay?) and not have to worry about  paying for a bus or chaperones. Maybe $10/person? (about the  same as what you would pay at the place, and this way PTO can  raise some money). Cristen is working on it.   5. Discussion on Anti­Harassment/Bullying Committee­ ​ Dr. Ford  felt that many of the concerns voiced were already being handled  by other groups (shared decision making team) and through school  programs (PBIS­positive behavior intervention support). PTO still  felt that they wanted to bring back more of a consistent message to  students and staff alike. Mr. McFarland brought up a presenter  (Jared Campbell) who does a great 3­session presentation on  bullying. Elem/MS­HS/Family­Parent. A main idea brought by all  administration was to make the school aware right away if  something is going on at the school. As for social media  harassment/bullying.etc, please report it to Karen Izzo or the main  office.    IV.

New Business  A. Open Mic/ Karaoke Night­ ​ Jenny C. would like to organize an event  geared towards students who may not be into sports/open gym type  events. She will update everyone as things get organized,
