HHS PA GENERAL MEETING(S)

Present 11/16/20: Erin Ratner (President) Stephanie Assuras (Secretary), Megan Coryat (Secretary), Charles Reilly (Principal), Parents

Financial Report:

•  No financial update due to pandemic transition, Christopher is working to get the onsite materials.

Goals/Current Issues:

• The board interested in establishing programs/events to foster community, particularly during this challenging time.

• Fundraising is being explored, but we recognize that given the current crisis this might be challenging for many. 

• The board is interested in helping those students/families who cannot access Google Classrooms. Mr. Reilly noted that this is a city-wide issue. Sylvia is preparing a list of students who do not have access

• Parents expressed interest in having a gingerbread house event similar to prior years. The PA may be able to provide some funds to purchase gingerbread house kits (e.g., Trader Joe’s approx. $8). We will continue to brainstorm ways to produce the event:

  • Zoom at scheduled time?

  • Do we send kits to families?

  • How would they get them?

• Mr. Reilly addressed the possible school moving full-remote. Teachers are preparing materials to be picked up by families should onsite learning be suspended.

• The window to opt into in-person school has closed, but contact Mr. Reilly if still interested.

Calendar:

•  No established meeting calendar as we try to find out best timing for people given changing in-person/remote schedule.

•  Mr. Reilly will plan to do Zoom check-ins every Friday 1:35

•  Sing along is planning to resume 11/20/20 in some capacity. Details will be provided by Wednesday 11/18/20.

• Early Education Fair (District Wide, 1st week in December 3K-K) will be remote in early December. Interested families will be able to join a subsequent HHS tour via Zoom, including an opportunity to talk with teachers, parents, etc. (probably in January).
