Policies/Extracurricular Activities Policy:
q Extracurricular Activities Policy was written as follows:

implementation. Any extracurricular

technology at Stonewall.

the Council.
Action
taken on each item:
q
Student
Email Accounts:
o
It was agreed upon by
the committee to see how other elementary schools are handling student email
accounts before allowing students to access and use email. Our main concern is
inappropriate spam email slipping through the system into the students’ email.

Other schools’
budget policies will be researched and brought to the next meeting to be
