·         Englewood Technology Budget and Spending

·         Budget:                $12,000                 2014-15

·         Proposed:           $25,502

·         Difference:         $9,538

·         Difference:         $15,502

o   We can justify the difference in spending the extra $15,502 in 14-15 because of the $9,538 that was left from 13-14.  This $9,538 was absorbed into the carryover of $39,594 that we started 2014-15 with.

o   In order to fully fund the technology needed we would need to pull $15,502 from the reserves. 

o   This additional $5,502, above and beyond our $10,000 reserve amount would be no problem due to the fact that year-to-date we are already $15,973 ahead of budgeted income, without Family Fun Night.  We are also $26,000 below in expenses with only 4 months left of the year.

o   Items purchased from technology budget in 2013-14/2014-15 include:

Classroom “Theme Basket” Auction

The Family Fun Night and Silent Auction this year will feature Themed Baskets filled with contributions from students and families of Englewood. The money raised will help pay for PTC funded events and supplies; Field trips, classroom enrichment, technology, after school family nights, art, and other supplies not allocated by the district.

The auction will take place at the Family Fun Night, Friday, May 1^st.         

The baskets need items in all price ranges – it’s up to you what you can and want to donate. Gift cards are always a good idea! You don’t necessarily have to buy something – a recipe or perhaps “recycled items” for art supplies work too. You could also partner with other parents to purchase a larger item. Talk to your child’s teacher if you’re interested in helping to purchase the basket (or theme-related container) for your grade’s basket. Or maybe ask a local business to donate something that fits. Be creative! 

Donations are due to your child’s class by Friday, April 24^th. We can’t wait to see all the great things you and your kids come up with!

Englewood's 2nd Annual Jog-A-Thon Was A Success!

Last week, the Englewood PTC officially wrapped up our Jog-A-Thon fundraiser festivities with the $60 party.  

This year, Englewood students raised a grand total of $13,101.65!  Way to go, Englewood Eagles!

The PTC would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge everyone who helped us make this a fun and successful event.  We had some amazing volunteers help out on the day of the Jog-A-Thon as well as at the $60 party. Thanks to our generous T-shirt sponsors we were able to give each Englewood student and staff member a Jog-A-Thon t-shirt.  We also had some very generous community support that allowed us to reward each classroom for the awesome job they did raising money for our school.   Chuck E. Cheese donated 30 pizzas for our reward parties and Winco gave us gift cards that allowed us to purchase supplies for the classroom ice cream parties and for the $60 party.  Our students worked hard raising so much money for our school, and we are very grateful to have had so much support in rewarding them for all their hard work!

Thank you to our T-shirt sponsors:

Jog-a-thon is Tomorrow!

The 2nd annual Englewood Jog-a-thon is tomorrow! 

That's Thursday, October 9th, 2014.

The Jog-a-thon is Englewood’s major school year fundraiser. Students collect pledges and/or donations from families & friends to raise money to support the school's operating budget. Donations may be used to enhance curricular programs, and further the mission of the school. All donations are tax-deductible. For reference our tax ID is #93-6000763. Ask you employer if they will match donation funds. 

Get out that comfortable outfit tonight, and make sure the kids are well-hydrated and well-fed before they go to sleep tonight.

The Jog-a-thon has become one of the main fundraisers for the PTC. Last year over $12,900 was raised! Our students collectively ran an average of 12-16 laps in 20 minutes!

Money raised through Jog-a-thon pledges provides support for field trips, technology, classroom supplies, the library, family nights and a whole lot more!

We encourage students to raise $60 each/$100 per family. However, No pledge amount is too low or too high.

For families new to the school or for those who have not made it out to watch the fun, the Jog-a-thon provides a whole lot of energy and excitement for everyone involved. Groups of volunteers and supporters join the kids as they challenge themselves and encourage each other to walk, skip and jog around the course.

We encourage and welcome everyone to come out and cheer, volunteer, or run a lap or two with the kids!

Jog-a-thon Donations due October 13-15, Monday to Wednesday

If you bring in your packet on time you will receive a small prize!

We will continue to accept donations until Friday, October 17^th.

Remember that all donations will go directly towards funding Englewood.

Welcome

Amy Sargent called the meeting at 6:00pm. Everyone was greeted. Amy introduced the 2014/15 Executive Board Members to the room.

Teacher Reports

The first Teacher Report started with Mrs. Teri Birkel one of Englewood’s 5th Grade Teachers. Mrs. Teri Birkel has been with the school 17 years, and was thrilled with the turnout at the PTC meeting. She shared the 5th grade place value mats. Right now the students are learning multiplication and division of decimals, using Common Core. The room was handed out place value charts and asked to multiply some numbers. Mrs. Teri Birkel used the smart board and digital projector to show the reasons why you move the decimals.

Parent and Staff Introductions

Introductions around the room was made, as well as what grade what student’s grades are in, were made around the room.

Teacher Reports Continued

The second Teacher Report was from Mrs. Melanie Rourke, the Englewood Music teacher. Mrs. Melanie Rourke and Mrs. Liz Tardif spent 4 weeks this summer repainting the Salem Capital mural in the gym. The mural was originally painted by the 2005 5th Grade class as a gift to Englewood. The mural was fading and chipping. They repainted the same image and added sealant to insure it will last. Mrs. Melanie Rourke also discussed the changes in General Music curriculum. The music program follows the Common Core. Last year Mrs. Melanie Rourke implemented writing songs and group work.  Mrs. Melanie Rourke showed the 1st grade grading rubric and curriculum.  Mrs. Melanie Rourke them showed an example on how she teacher rhythmic dictation.

Principal Report

Next, the Principal Report was given by Mr. Gary Etchemendy. He went over the goals for the new school year, the Reading at Home (RAH) Log sheet, and the Englewood State Report Card. Mr. Gary Etchemendy wanted everyone to know that if there is anything you want him to address or discuss at the PTC meeting to call or email him so he can add them into the meeting’s agenda. This year Englewood is using more in-depth learning data to increase score for students. He also discussed the improvement in attendance, and that the schools demographics have changed and now Englewood offers free lunch to the entire student population. Mr. Gary Etchemendy then went over the new progress report, which is based on the end of the year scores. Which made lead to some confusion at the first grade report cards in November, it is very important for parents to attend their student-teacher conferences in November to understand the Elementary Proficiency Based Grading. Parents are encourage to talk to their students’ teachers for any questions or additional information. Mr. Gary Etchemendy then showed a video explaining the grading system. Principal Etchemendy then went on to talk about the October RAH calendar log sheet. He told parents to look at the back side of the sheet in October, you can find your students reading level. Principal Etchemendy told us that last year more books were checked out and returned from the library than ever in years past.

The new Englewood Counselor Mr. Alan Kanne was in attendance and was introduced by Principal Etchemendy. Mr. Alan Kanne is full time and worked at Englewood before.

The Treasurer Report was given by Mr. Gary Etchemendy. This summer we receive a check from the Chuck E Cheese fundraiser money and are soon to receive the Fred Meyer Community Rewards money raised this summer.

La Bienvenida

Amy Sargent comenzó la reunión a las 18:00. Todo el mundo fue recibido. Amy presentó los miembros de la Junta Ejecutiva del 2014/15 a los participantes.

Informes de los Profesores

La Sra. Teri Birkel, una de las maestras de quinto grado, dio el primer Informe del Profesor. La Sra. Birkel tiene 17 años con la escuela y se entusiasmó con la participación de los padres en la reunión de PTC. Compartió con los padres los artículos que se usan para el tema de matemática en el quinto grado. Ahora los estudiantes están aprendiendo multiplicación y división con decimales, utilizando el Common Core. La Sra. Birkel repasó las tareas y pidió que los padres multiplicaran unos números. La Sra. Birkel utilizó “el tablero inteligente” y el proyector digital para mostrar las razones por los cuales uno mueve los decimales.

Introducciones de los Padres y de los Profesores

Los padres se presentaron, indicando además el /los grado(s) de su(s) niño(s).

Continuación de los Informes de los Profesores

La Sra. Melanie Rourke, maestra de música, dio el segundo Informe del Profesor, La Sra. Melanie Rourke y la señora Liz Tardif pasaron 4 semanas durante el verano pintando el mural del Capitolio de Salem que se encuentra en el gimnasio. El mural fue pintado originalmente por la clase del quinto grado de 2005 como un regalo a Englewood. La pintura del mural se había descolorado y se descascaraba un poco.  Las Sras. Rourke y Tardiff repintaron la misma imagen y añadieron un sellador para asegurarse que se iba a durar. La Sra. Melanie Rourke también habló de los cambios en el currículo general de música. El programa de música sigue el Common Core. El año pasado, la Sra. Rourke había implementado un programa en el cual los alumnos escribieron canciones y trabajaron en grupo.  La Sra. Rourke demostró el plan de estudios y la rúbrica de clasificación del 1er grado.  La Sra. Rourke luego mostró un ejemplo de cómo ella enseña dictado rítmico.

Principal Report

A continuación, el Sr. Gary Etchemendy dio el Informe del Director, lo cual se trató de las metas para el nuevo año escolar, la hoja del registro de la lectura hogar (RAH) y el estado de Englewood State Report Card (informe del estado sobre Englewood). El  Sr. Etchemendy quiere que todos sepan que si hay algo que alguien quiere discutir en la reunión de PTC, hay que llamarle o mandarle un correo electrónico  para que él puede añadir el tema a la agenda para la reunión. Él notó que este año, Englewood está utilizando más datos de aprendizaje para aumentar la puntuación de los estudiantes. También habló de la mejora en la asistencia de los alumnos, y contó que la demografía de los alumnos de la escuela ha cambiado y ahora Englewood puede ofrecer  el almuerzo gratis a todos los estudiantes de Englewood. El Sr. Etchemendy nos presentó el nuevo informe de progreso, lo cual se enfoca en los resultados al final del año. Esto puede llevarnos a cierta confusión en los primeros informes de progreso en noviembre. Es muy importante que los padres asistan a las conferencias padre-maestra en noviembre para entender Elementary Proficiency Based Grading (el nuevo sistema para calificar a los alumnos). Queremos que los padres hablen con los maestros de sus hijos  para cualquier duda o información adicional.

El Sr. Etchemendy mostró un video que explicaba el sistema de calificaciones, y luego habló de la hoja del registro de la lectura en hogar (RAH) para octubre. Sugirió a los padres que miraran en la parte posterior de la RAH, para encontrar el nivel de lectura de los estudiantes. El Sr. Etchemendy notó que el año pasado, la cantidad más grande libros fueron sacados de, y devueltos a, la biblioteca que en los años anteriores. El Sr. Etchemendy  presentó el nuevo consejero de Englewood, Sr. Alan Kanne, quien estaba presente. El Sr. Kanne es a tiempo completo y trabajó en Englewood antes.

El Sr. Etchemendy dio el Informe del Tesorero. Este verano recibimos un cheque con el dinero de la recaudación de fondos Chuck E Cheese, y estamos a punto de recibir el dinero de la recaudación por el plan del Fred Meyer Community Rewards del verano.
