Teachers are encouraged to bring parents in and help new teachers and parents feel welcome. Ute Pass Elementary still feels that they are separated from the rest of the district. Manitou High School Student Report- Robin Doyle reported that she is trying to get the green and gold cards associated with the Renaissance program back in use. She is having trouble getting anyone to help or show interest in the project. Sue Meals reported the PAC worked on ideas for sportsmanship.
Parking is still a problem at the high school.
Extending the parking lot would mean leveling the hill behind the school which is an expensive project that the school does not have the money for at this time. There is still a problem with parents dropping their kids off in front of the high school instead of taking them around the back. This creates a safety problem at the front of the building. Sue Scott opened the discussion on the District Assessment Plan. She introduced Staci Christensen, a fifth grade teacher from Ute Pass Elementary and a member of the District Assessment Task Force.
