October Minutes

HART MINUTES

October 7, 2015

The October meeting of the Hartman Alliance for Residents and Teachers was called to order at 6:35 p.m. by President Terry Genners in the elementary school library.

In attendance were officers Terry Genners, Bob Eick, and Amy Snyder; teacher rep Tia Brown; and parents Melanie Buhay, Jen Dunkelberger, Sue Griscavage, Bobbi Hancock, Linda Hoy, Sarah Knoebel, Andrea Koch, Christi Moncavage, Amanda Noblit, Kim Pesarchick, Erica Schaeffer, Vanessa Stine, Judy Lynn Weaver, and Allison Wetzel.  (Principal John Fetterman arrived later.)

With the absence of Dawn Knoebel, there was no Secretary’s Report or September minutes; they’ll be reviewed next month.  Judy Lynn agreed to take tonight’s minutes.

Vice President Bob reported that Fire Prevention Day activities today went great.  He noted a problem regarding cookies for Grandparents Day having to do with Box Tops monies.  Bob also encouraged parents to submit their Clearances as soon as possible, as it is taking the school district more time than expected to process everyone’s paperwork.  Details are available on the school’s website.  We need more volunteers with Clearances in order to conduct HART events.

Treasurer Amy confirmed that HART’s accounts have been transferred to First Columbia Bank.  She reported there was no real activity in the class accounts over the past month.  Our General Account balance as of Sept. 30 is $18,597.67, and class funds total $6,908.30.  An extra $50 designated for class funds was divided among 1st-4th grades, for the following totals:

Kindergarten = $110.01

1^st Grade = $738.53

2^nd Grade = $2,585.55

3^rd Grade = $2,952.31

4^th Grade = $521.90

Mrs. Connie Lupold, 5th grade science teacher, spoke about the new Farm to School initiative to promote healthy eating.  For its “Fresh Food of the Month” campaign, the community Wellness Committee selects a food to be served to students and plans its local farm source.  The objective is to get kids to try local foods at school, and inspire them to request those foods at home, as well as encourage parents to then purchase the product locally.  The committee wants to target elementary students.  Mrs. Lupold stated that the committee’s shortcoming is manpower to prepare the snacks.  She also requested help in identifying local farms and gardens that could supply foods, and/or contacts with farmers and growers who’d do a demonstration or presentation on their product.  In addition, she said the district has begun a gardening program which has received a Seed Change grant.

The Harvest Festival & Hartman Hustle will be Friday, Oct. 30.  The Festival committee met to hash out activities.  A bounce house was reserved for $400.  Someone is needed to lead the canned goods collection and distribution.  A craft idea is needed.  Allison got the new Elysburg Burger King to donate cups, drinks, and some coupons.  Each class will be given a pumpkin to decorate in a different book character theme.  The committee will meet Oct. 19 in the LGA.  They’re trying to get high school students to assist with the festival due to the insufficient number of parents with Clearances.

The Facilities Request form was submitted.  Hustle money and shirt orders are still being received.  The T-shirts will be ordered via teacher Dave Fegley with Keegan Tees.  Turkey Hill is donating water, but water cups are needed; there may be enough in the HART Room.  The top fundraisers win lunch from Brewsers; Bobbi offered to pick up their food.

Yankee Candle info was sent home today for the fundraiser held Oct. 1-22; popcorn is also offered this year.  Terry said the officers are working on the SCRIP card fundraiser for the holidays.  We’ve secured Gertrude Hawk for spring/Easter.  Regarding a Skatetown fundraiser, Terry said the Bloomsburg facility offers a $10 card for two activities (e.g. skating, laser tag), for which HART would keep $4 profit.  No date was selected yet.

Volunteer Policy

Volunteers

Making the decision to volunteer your time and talents can enhance the educational experience of the students of the Southern Columbia Area School District. If you have an interest in the District’s educational programs, an enjoyment in helping students, and a sincere belief that by volunteering, a contribution will be made to the learning process, you have what is takes to be a volunteer! If you are interested in volunteering in the Southern Columbia Area Schools, please contact the building Principal of the school you wish to serve to begin the application process.

 

Click on this link to download a copy of Southern Columbia Area's revised, Volunteer Policy. The revised policy was adopted April 20, 205:

 

The following volunteer guidelines will be in effect beginning with the 2015-2016, school year:

1. The first step to volunteering is to contact the Principal of the building where you wish to serve. Explain what services you would like to offer. Based on what you relay, the Principal will determine whether you should be classifed as a volunteer or as a visitor. 

 

A Volunteer includes but is not necessarily limited to:  an individual who serves as a volunteer sport coach or otherwise assists and has contact with children in connection with production or conduct of a play, concert, or other curricular, co-curricular, or extracurricular activity;  an individual who serves as a daily, weekly, or other periodic scheduled classroom assistant;  an individual who serves as a school sponsored event chaperone;  or an individual who in connection with a school sponsored activity has contact, unsupervised by a school employee, with a child with respect to whom the individual is not the parent, close relative, or guardian of the child.

 

A volunteer is more than a visitor, and normally involves an individual working directly with, having responsibility for, and having repeated interaction with one or more students.

 

A visitor is an individual whose actions do not rise to the level of a volunteer. As examples, a visitor includes, but is not necessarily limited to: a parent, close relative, or guardian who visits a classroom, auditorium, other school common areas, or private meeting area to make a delivery to, meet with, or share a celebration time with, a student who is the individual’s child or other close relative or for whom the individual is the guardian; an individual who attends a sports event or other extracurricular/co-curricular activity; or an individual who is a career day or other similar speaker or participant visiting to share information with students under the supervision of a school employee.

 

2. Prior to the start of volunteer service, all persons deemed a volunteer must complete a Volunteer Application which  provides basic demographic information about the individual.

 

3, The Principal will review the application and then interview the volunteer. If the prospective volunteer is approved by the Principal, he/she must agree to submit  the following clearances which must be dated no more than one year prior to the volunteer application date:

 

• Act 34 Clearance (State Police)- PA State Police Criminal History Report
• Act 154 Clearance (Child Abuse)  (click on create account)- PA Department of Human Services Child Abuse Report 
• Volunteers who have lived in Pennsylvania less than 10 years must also secure Act 114 Clearance (Fingerprinting) clearances. 
• Volunteers who have lived in Pennsylvania for 10 years or longer will complete a Volunteer Affirmation form and do not need Act 114 clearances.

 

4. All volunteers must complete a Volunteer Acknowledgment and State of Confidentiality form

 

5.  Volunteers who will be, or are anticipated to be, in direct contact with students 10 or more hours/week, must submit the results of a TB Test which contains documentation from an examining physician indicating the volunteer is free from active TB disease. 

 

 

6.  The principal or designee is responsible for collecting all documentation and verifying the legitimacy of the clearances before forwarding it to the District Office. All of the aformentioned forms and clearances will be held by the Principal until all are received.  Once this occurs, the Principal will forward the complete packet of documents to the District Office.

 

7. All volunteers who plan to provide service over an aggregate period of time exceeding four (4) weeks throughout the school year, and/or who provide direct services to students, must be approved by the Board prior to providing services to the District.

 

 

8. The District Office will maintain a list of active volunteers and will be responsible for monitoring each volunteer’s compliance with the three-year background check update requirements. Volunteers are required to provide updated clearances every three years so that background check reports on file are never older than three years.

 

9.  The principal will be responsible for ensuring all volunteers are provided an orientation session associated with their assignments. The actual orientation can be led by the principal or principal’s designee.  

 

10.  Requests to serve as a volunteer must be approved annually by the principal.

 

11. The volunteer cannot serve in a building or area of responsibility other than that to which he/she has been approved for service.
