Core Team — community introduction and volunteer roles
**Opening q: **What’s a high and low of the start of the school year?
Discussion: How to best introduce the core team to the community (new staff, new families, and those who might be interested in getting involved)
- Google doc to add ideas about what we want to share
- Families meet with core team date - Friday October 7th @3:30-6:30pm at Jefferson Park
- Have Ms Gray add to Friday email
- Add to Monday half-sheet sent home in backpacks
Discussion: How to on-board new folks? How to balance working meetings with core team meetings?
- Some parents expressed interest in lunchtime volunteering or just generally getting involved in PTSA
- Send initial email about meeting times and that more opportunities to get involved are coming
A few ways for parents to plug in:
- Organize classroom parents
- Volunteer coordinator (general?)
- Lunchtime volunteer coordinator
- Social media coordinator
Meeting schedule;
- Core team meeting monthly and others are welcome to come
- Would expect 1st PTSA meeting to be highly attended - should we account for that?
- Curriculum night - can PTSA plug in as well somehow? (October)
- First meeting Tuesday Oct 11th @7:15pm (but make sure date doesn’t conflict with Kimball events)
- Meeting monthly or twice-monthly - maybe start with 2 meetings a month but feel ok with canceling
- Wondering about energy for facilitating - maybe we send out sign-up sheet that first meeting for facilitators
- Continue Color Brave Space norms
- Would be very nice to have interpretation for our working meetings, but it’s a lot of work. Prioritize interpretation for community meetings?
