-Vaping becoming a number one issue in the High schools. At St. Laurence four students asked to leave when caught at school vaping.
One girl asked to leave because she tagged a bathroom. Mr Muting and school will not tolerate this behavior. Parents or students who hear about
improper actions should call the school so they can investigate.
-At last faculty meeting the presenter explained that the part of the brain that involves listening does not mature until the child is 25. Thus students are encouraged to check their e mails throughout the day for what they miss during oral announcements because they e mails in writing.
-Mr. Muting asked for questions.
One Parent: Are bathroom monitored?
Mr. Muting: Teachers do but 2 teachers go in to investigate when there is a problem. This is for the teacher's own safety and liability issues. Also if there has been a tip on an individual causing problems they investigate as a team.
A student from a team project was introduced and explained his fundraiser for TCBY on February 23. Parents were encouraged to order ice cream for their students to enjoy on February 23. Orders taken that night. Proceeds are for a school project focusing on Nigeria. Proceeds will help pay for legal costs and aide families effected by criminal groups in Nigeria.
