         1. Action Item: John will look into a plaque or some way to thank donors, esp Campbell Scientific
         2. $1000 to be donated from Horas Mann (Northern Utah United) to help with outdoor garbage cans

3. Binder Update: Cindy handed out the 2025/26 schedule and roster, TSSA plan update, and 2025/26 School Plan
4. Website Review - Audrie
   1. SCC is under the “About Us” tab. The search function is now just our school instead of searching the whole district. The website can be switched to different languages with the button with a flag on it  on the bottom right
5. School Safety - Melissa
   1. The state has a safety council that directs protocols - For example, doors must be locked, magnets cannot be used to keep the door ajar. Pinch guards are used by a lot of teachers, but technically, this is also not allowed. Doors must either be closed and locked or all the way open. The district is working with the State to allow the use of pinch guards.
   2. There is a new valley-wide emergency app and standard response protocols
   3. An additional camera will be installed on the 3rd portable so that the parking lot and north pick up line are more visible ($1500). 
   4. Needs: new walkie-talkies, buzzer for outside doors to alert when a door is propped open($200/each)
      1. TSSA funds can be used if we write a goal
6. Digital Citizenship - Sarah Larsen
   1. The state made a change, and Sarah can no longer prepare the curriculum for Digital Citizenship - a licensed and certified teacher has to do it now. Canyons School District shared their binder, and the first lessons were taught Sept 29-Oct 2. Moving forward, a combination of that and CommonSense Media will be used.
      1. Lessons to be taught Jan 5-9, Feb 17-20, and April 13-17
7. School Land Trust - Nena
   1. The mid-year goal allows for course correction, if needed
   2. For the acadience test, blue means reading at grade level, green means on track to be on grade level. A video explaining the acadience test was shown.
   3. Next year, there will be a new math curriculum, but iReady will still be used.
8. School Improvement Plan - Cindy
   1. We need to create a team: Cindy, Nena, the counselor, Melissa(Safety), Taylor, plus 2 parents. Nena nominated Haley Hayden, John nominated Sarah Bodily
