St. Stephen’s School Board Agenda and Report
November 10, 2006
Invocation
School Mission:
The mission of St. Stephen's Episcopal School is to develop each student to his or her full potential academically, spiritually, morally, and physically. Through educational experiences in a Christian community, each student will grow in grace and become a responsible and ethical leader.
Headmaster’s Report:
1) I would like to formally thank Dr. Mark Desjardins, Headmaster of Holland Hall School http://www.hollandhall.org/academics.php who offered his council to our board, faculty, and staff on November 8. Dr. Desjardins serves on the SAES and ISAS boards and spoke toward strategic planning.
2) Fundraising: Giving Thanks: The Annual Fund campaign will target member families, grandparents, and church members. Our 2006 goal is $50K and 100% participation. The 2005 Annual Fund made $22K with 100% participation from board members and faculty. The campaign will begin with a letter from me, followed by a phone call and a town hall meeting on December 8. The Fundraising Committee is working to define and advertise the Annual Fund in the broader context of fundraising at St. Stephen’s. I am actively seeking phone tree volunteers for the Annual Fund campaign.
2) Links: Follow these links to help put SSES in a super-regional context. The Episcopal School Commission: follow the ministries tab to the Parochial Schools tab at http://www.episcopal-dwtx.org/; SAES http://www.swaes.org/; & NAES www.episcopalschools.org.
2) Security & Risk Management
Val Jeter et al. will build two security gates on our campus, one as an extension from the front playground and one behind the log cabin. Val, Renee Schneiderman, and Cheryl Simecheck comprise the Risk Management Committee.
3) Administrative Processes: In a continued effort to improve school communication, student mediation, and academic planning I am advocating the addition of an Associate Dean of Students. This person would maintain a presence in classrooms Pre-K through Middle School, and act as a mediator, classroom management specialist, and academic planner.
