__**Team Meeting, Thursday, March 5**__

- LBE: Kenneth Rhee: "awarded to Kenneth for his willingness to step up and help his classmates create their science videos" - student feedback surveys: what happened to them?

- Hallway chaos at break: what can we do to reduce stress?

- Remember GLG changed from March 11 to 13th

- Colm coming to GLG with Claire Olivier. Need to inform her.

- " Float Your Boat" - 10:00 - 11:00'ish - schedule, job duty assignments. Who's jumping in?


 * LBE:** Janice Hahn

1) Based on faculty feedback, ADVISORY will be explained at the opening of BTSN in Robb Hall; Dale will give an overview of what ADVISORY is about.

2) Discussion of b log feature being added to Portfolios and reducing website side of things — ** Thoughts? What are essential components we need to preserve **** going forward? **
 * blog allows us to keep what we like about Weebly, but streamline "Grade 8 Overview" page by using tags/keywords (these can be quickly searched to show entire body of
 * work that fits under a certain competency. Blog will link directly to the referenced piece of work, not just the top of the page.
 * Allows audience aspect (more potential for parent/family/controlled friend feedback).
 * Allows more "one-off" kinds of posts, pieces
 * like the idea of a blog. We can use tags to show which essential competency/subject the post belongs to.
 * One of blogging’s big motivators is tracking the views from an outside audience; this correlates to the frequency of blogging…so our kiddos won’t have that reaction unless they blog daily or weekly—it would have to be student generated and student motivated. Is this possible to achieve?

3) Dress code stuff -- Shoes, shoes and more shoes --- sweaters etc. ** What do we think about this? **
 * Do we want to loosen up on this at all? Parents: “Hard to find all
 * black shoes unless they’re dress shoes.” Seems a minor issue to battle over. Sneakers are more practical.
 * Will ease tension between students/teachers. A simple concession; relieve parent anxiety
 * Jon/Lynn speaking to rising 6th grader parents on Monday. Consensus is good idea.
 * shoes “mostly” brown or black
 * don't think going stricter with black dress shoes is a good idea, as the BS kids always say that their feet are cold.

4) Cranes: Can Encore or Advisory classes make cranes for Dongdaewon after March 7? >
 * Yes to cranes; found great set of [|instructions] online

5) Colm’s visit -- March 10-14; he and Lynn will join team meetings that week. Casual. Chilled. He just wants to get a feel for the school, meet people, see what happens in divisions.

6) March 11 G8 GLG: Time to put the fear into G8 students about misbehaving. Lynn and Jon will speak to them.
 * **Claire Olivier** is supposed to speak that day on forgiveness, right? (***I will email her today to remind her)**

__9th Grade Course Sign-Ups:__ > Melanie can come to 2 advisories each day- March 3 – 7 (ideal because John Searles can come with her and get tech setup); The following week not as good for timing.- students will need their laptops and course sheets. Does March 3, 5, 7 work for us? > > > __April, HS Shadow Day:__ > - How do we schedule this?

 * Cheer-it was shared that we are a bit uncomfortable "leading" the cheer. Greg suggested that we included all the house advisors in the written cheer and ask for their support on the presentation day. It would be great to pull in extended team members who are comfortable guiding this process during cheer creation. Additionally, a final cheer-off between houses would help solidify the house unity that is the basis of this activity
