Feedback from last year What did we learn from the questionnaires? Consensus is that we are on the right track! What did we learn from the questionnaires? Consensus is that we are on the right track! Any suggestions moving forward? Any suggestions moving forward? 1. Make the meetings less formal and more interactive. 2. Send out the agenda ahead of time. 3. Have the phone blast encourage families to tell others to attend. 4. Post meeting minutes online for those that cannot regularly attend. 5. Have more information about the college process and financial aspects around college. 6. Develop a course of action once concerns are brought up.

Other comments/feedback from Sept. meeting Discussion on the signing for laundry bundles this year. Accountability of the students is a concern, what can we do as parents/guardian to assist.
