1. Kids Corner (Angela):
- Camp Wonderopolis: wonderopolis.org
- Wonderopolis is a self-paced online educational activity camp aimed at 3rd-8th graders; mostly written at a 5th grade reading level
- It’s totally free, kids just have to create a profile
- If kids are having a hard time getting their 5 program stickers, they can use Camp Wonderopolis to get 1. They need to either print out or show you online a Wonder card they have earned. Then in the Notes field on their account, please put "Camp Wonderopolis"
- Lunch
- Lunch officials cannot accept scratch-outs on the paperwork, so if you have to make a change, please fill out the day's info again on a clean sheet without scratch-outs or whiteout.
- Melinda: please make a photocopy of each day's tally sheet and put it on her desk. Also make sure that you are entering the reconciliation form for each day, and ordering food when we need it.
- SRP Updates
- We have all prizes; please let Angela know if anything is running low and she will do her best to get more.
- For family registration, putting the child's name in the adult's profile is not enough. Please make sure that both the child and the adult have an account and that they are registered under the same username (by using the "add member" feature).
- Please remember that awarding Program Prizes is the radio button on the person's account, not the regular present function.
2. Passport Office: - Melinda would like everyone to go check out the passport office, and the area outside it.
- Yesterday we (Jonathan) processed 6 passports! With Saturday, that brings us to a total of 7!
- Go America!
- Jonathan has made a sign to remind our mail carrier to pick up the passport applications each day. He will put it out on the left side of the CSD where the mail guy usually puts our mail. Please discourage customers from putting items there.
- Jonathan has also set up a temporary locked area for secure storage. It is the locking cabinet above his desk. The key is on the green key string at the front desk and is labeled "Passport key"
- Jonathan: Please remember to inform customers that the fee that goes to the US Dept. of State needs to be personal check or money order only.
- James: Can we have an info sheet at the front desk to make it easier for us to answer customer questions about passports?
- Isabel: Can we put a "P" on passport receipts to make financial accounting easier until we have a working passport-only drawer?
- We are down 2 iPads at our Crayola Kiosk. The one that has been broken for some time has been replaced and IT is waiting on the purchase of a new power cord for it. Melinda reported the one with the torn power cord to IT and they will work on finding a new cord for that one, too.
4. The Mysterious Disappearance of the Gaming Cart Key:
- Check your pockets, check your desks. We can't show toons at lunch without it!
5. Workroom Computers
- Please use the one on the left when possible so that the one on the right is available for processing items.
- Make sure to log out of your employee account and log back in to "staff." (this goes for CSD computers too)
6. Shelving
- We are doing alright with shelving, but everyone can chip in a bit more. Try taking a few handfuls at a time on your roaming hours. We want to honor Ms. Rose's legacy!
7. Statistics
- Keep up the good work with desk stats!
- Please remember to enter in program stats.
- For this new fiscal year, stats are going to be divided into J, YA, and A, so please make sure you are counting each of those separately in your program tallies.
8. Holds Shelf
- Everything on the Holds shelf must be tagged. It is not serving our customers to leave them untagged.
- Please also make sure that the only holds on our holds shelf are for COL.
9. Clean up/Follow Through
- In general, please put away things you have used.
- For example:
- put away laptops after a computer class
- clean up after you use paper cutter or if a volunteer uses it at your behest and doesn't clean up
- after delivery, make sure all of the paper/rubber bands/ anything cleaned up and put away; ensure that all items get to the proper persons that day; hang flipkits without holds up on the doghouse
Open Discussion
- Isabel: Please make sure you are plugging the laptops back in after the customers return them.
- Jonathan: Don't forget the sweets/nacho birthday celebration that is going down next Wednesday!
