BHS Volunteer Meeting Minutes
June 2, 2006

16 members present
Meeting called to order at 9:00 am

Introductions were made.

A few suggestions were made to improve the principal’s tea. It was felt maybe we talked a bit too long about Merle Davies and possibly new parents might not have felt comfortable asking questions. We discussed moving the tea to September to welcome new parents. We would include a flyer in the back to school packet inviting all parents, in hopes of having better attendance.

Minutes were approved.

COMMITTEE CHAIR REPORTS:
Michele asked if there was anything new to report.

STAFF APPRECIATION: Toni
Thanks to Laurie Fitterer and to Nancy Noyer who stepped in and helped this time. The staff was thrilled!

MENTORING: Denise
The counselors will look for incoming 8th graders to assign to a mentor and many current students will continue meeting with their mentors next year.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES: Leslie
Leslie discussed methods for getting chaperones for dances and the possibility of getting e-mail addresses for families that do not volunteer so they could be contacted also. She had trouble finding chaperones for the prom this year.

NEWSLETTER: Jane
The newsletter will be prepared next Thursday at 9:00. They will continue with the same format next year.

COLLEGE AND CAREER CENTER: Martha
It was confirmed they will be posting the position to replace Alice. It will be a certified position, and 8 hours a day.

UNFILLED POSITIONS:
Data Entry: Karen’s position remains unfilled.

Scholarships: Denise will enter the scholarships for the first half of the year and will look for someone to do it with her in the middle of the year. Kimberly Killian told Denise to contact her when she begins looking for help, because she may be interested.

VOLUNTEER RECRUITING FORM:
We reviewed changes made in previous meetings and discussed a few additional changes. Anne asked Karen to e-mail her the form so she could take care of the changes for next year.

PRINCIPAL’S REPORT:
Janice reported that this has been a great year for many reasons! The senior assembly and breakfast were wonderful yesterday. The turnout was fabulous. Although all the data is not in yet, she is confident the final numbers will show we did very well on our testing. We had 180 plus students earn the CIM this year.

Teachers will be very busy this summer with continuation of licensure, inservice and professional development.

Next year we will be changing to a 6A classification for our sports activities. Our league will contain the Beaverton comprehensive high schools and Jesuit. Because we will have fewer schools in our league, this means we will have to travel outside our area to play some of our games. There is also a possibility we will have booster buses for the traveling games. Basketball will have a four night a week schedule, without the double headers on Friday night next year.

VICE PRINCIPAL’S REPORT:
Ronda thanked this volunteer committee for all the work we do!

Beaver Days are scheduled for next year:
August 22nd, Seniors 8-10:30, Juniors 11:30-2
August 23rd, Sophomores 8-10:30, Freshmen 11:30-2

Fall athletics will begin official practices August 21st.

Back to School Packets will be stuffed on August 1st and 2nd and mailed on August 3rd.

We have two new textbook adoptions; Health and World Languages. We will have a work party to number and stamp them, and staff members will bar code them. All new textbooks will be bar coded in the future.

Freshmen Orientation Day is September 1st.
