Overview of last meeting

  • Review of CEP (Interactive document with all of P.S. 94’s work) Everyone has access, but only principal can make changes.
  • SLT ByLaws/SLT Elections & new member roles

 

Committee Reports/Principal Updates

  • School Construction Authority (SCA) – will finish on time…March
  • PTA asked…they want to do a fair in the schoolyard for kindergarten, rather than an outside trip.
  • Scaffold will be removed in March
  • Con Edison inspection…passed
  • Switch over of the AC brackets will happen during Christmas break

 

Vaccine update

  • Covid 19 vaccinations 12/09/2021, 7:30 until vaccines run out
  • C. Gonzalez requested 100 vaccines (82 done last time)
  • 1st and 2nd doses will be done for those who want it

 

Academics

  • Big initiatives…@94 this year…Provide small group instruction
  • Differentiated instruction according to their needs
  • EQUITY is done, so each child’s UNIQUE needs are met
  • We have lowered student to teacher ratio
  • We provide before, after, and Saturday programs to students with other abilities, and all other students
  • The academic concern is actually working
  • Small group instruction is no more than 6 students with the same needs and abilities
  • We now have STEM and Social Studies teachers (clusters), this lets classroom teachers focus on small group instruction.

Example: If it’s a reading period, (lower grade – shared reading), teacher reads to whole class, when done, students go to centers, some go to iReady, some do work on PBL projects, now teacher can move around to assist those in need of support (in small groups)

  • Early intervention – 5 days a week
  • After-school – Wednesday-Friday
  • Monday – Teacher PD, Tuesday – OPW, Parent Engagement

 

 

 

 

SLT

  • Open forum
  • Schedule of meetings on school calendar and School app
  • Chancellors Regs. state SLT is supposed to be run by parents, but teachers do it because when roles are discussed, no one volunteers (parents weren’t aware of this, so Mr. Pelaez sent out the Chancellor’s regs. to each member to review it)

 

“We are an open committee, and any member can add to the agenda. We believe in collaboration!”  Ms. Cristina Gonzalez
