The Little Mermaid show is scheduled for April 28, 29.
There is a band concert Tuesday, May 2
The Disney Trip leaves Thursday, May 4
State testing is over. Cocopah reached its’ goal of testing 95% of all students, so that was a great success.
Denham presented the PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention System) program. Cocopah has been a PBIS school and there is talk of revitalizing this program on campus. The program rewards students who exemplify positive behavior and helps other students learn to make better choices. There is a big push to make PBIS District wide, but the District does not fund the program. There was a discussion to have the APT fund the program for next year. There is money in reserve. A vote will take place at the next Board Meeting.

Teacher Liaison Rep Report – Laynee

The APT purchased 300 agendas for those students who wish to purchase from the APT. Not all teachers request students to use agendas.
Gaydos was given $500 to spend on the library this year. She will receive the same amount next year.
There are teachers who will retire when this year ends. Will the APT give funding for gifts? Submit requests for what you want.
Teachers enjoyed having snacks and drinks in the lounge areas, supplied by the APT. Send request to the new board, and roll the request into teacher appreciation funding, so this can continue next year.
There is an end of year staff party of Macayos. There was a discussion of gifting $250 to be used for the party.
The APT was asked about funding an end of the year gift of Cocopah pajama pants. We need the exact cost.
We will vote on Macayos and pajamas at the May meeting.
