Welcome:
Reading and Approval of September Minutes:
- Minutes were read, a motion was made to approve, then seconded, then the committee voted unanimously to approve the minutes.
Safe Schools Routes:
- A new crosswalk has been added from the south “exit” of the circle drive across the street to the church. There is a marker in the center of the road and crosswalk to raise awareness. This has helped the flow of people walking across the street if they park at the church to pick-up their students. The other current routes are sufficient and are working well.
Discussion and Approval of “Rules of Order and Procedure”:
- Trudy and Kaiann Womack, our Computer Lab Specialist, reviewed the full document and analyzed each section carefully to align with the state requirements. Some new sections were added, including:
- “Council Member Expectations”
- “Election Procedures”
- Kathy Christiansen reviewed the “Parliamentary Procedures” section, and discussed each motion and how it is applied in the meetings.
- This document will be posted on our school website.
- Jasilyn Heaps made a motion to approve the document (with two minor number corrections); Alyssa Ditzel seconded the motion, and the committee voted unanimously to approve.
Discussion regarding new Logo and Branding for the 25-26 school year:
- Trudy would like to update the picture of the bulldog that is used for our school logo and brand. Sherri Anderson, our District’s Communications Specialist, told her that the Superintendent likes to have public input on these issues.
- Kaitlyn Call suggested that we choose a few of the “mock-ups” we like, then let the public vote for their favorite. Specifically, Trudy is looking for a “head only” design of a
bulldog; something “cartoon-ish” and elementary age-friendly, and that will help promote our school theme of “Safe, Kind, and Responsible.” - The school’s current colors of Navy Blue and Maroon will remain the same.
- We have an available budget of about $500 to hire a graphic designer.
Other:
- Mason Andersen informed the committee that he also serves on the District School Community Council (Kaitlyn Call served on that committee last year as well) and offered to take any issues we may have to that Council if needed.
- Kathy Christiansen gave an update on the new school buildings’ progress. The work is on schedule and crews are hoping for good weather through the middle of November to put up the side walls and roofs to enclose the buildings before winter.
- The PTO Halloween Carnival will be Wednesday, October 29th from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Our PTO has partnered with Sky View High School service club students who will run the games in the classrooms. Special thanks to our PTO and the Sky View students for providing this fun community event.
Meeting was adjourned after all agenda items were discussed.
The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 18, 2025 at 4:00 p.m.
