On 4/1/22, response from CDE came stating that we were not selected for the Early Literacy Grant.  We were eligible, but other applicants with more preference points were granted funds first, so by the time they got to our application, funds were depleted.  We will not be receiving funds, so the DD-E is not needed for this grant.  

We began the DD-E for the ESSER K-8 Mathematics Curricula and K-3 READ Act Instructional Program Grant.  Only parts I and II were completed.

Ann will be in contact with Misty and/or Brenda from grant support to reformulate our grant that was denied into the Math and K-3 literacy grant.

Gloria will contact Cindy Bear to inquire as to whether or not any ESSER 3 monies may be utilized for updating curriculum; this will address Tier 1.  
 

Free and Reduced Lunch -- only qualified are counted in reporting, not all returned, we believe. 

Grant due 4/29/22.  (Ann arrived some time after 5?)

Not addressed.

SWAG was ordered for field day -- students will get water bottles, temp tattoos, ribbons, frisbees; 1st-5th place ribbons are ordered.  (May 23)  *inclement weather discussed

Volunteer Day -- April 21 at 3pm -- tote bags and travel mugs ordered

Teacher Appreciation -- Gloria to order pins acknowledging years of service

WEBSITE FOCUS for marketing -- drone to create a video showing the school from outside in; all website to direct online traffic for enrollment or employment, etc.  A table runner, banner stand, and flag will be ordered for any job fairs.  Denver job fairs not considered at this time.

Dates for program discussed; Tonia requests no one in building in July, but best dates for program include July -- will talk with Tonia to see if possible.

Even if we don't get the ESSER Math K-8 and K-3 READ Act Grant, we'll still offer summer reading program for up to 37 students (anticipate 20 may actually attend) on a shoestring budget.

Next meeting:

THURSDAY, May 5th, 4:30 pm.
