Parkland Walkout Banner/Stickers

As discussed in Superintendent Kris Corey's Letter to All Staff, there is indeed a movement afoot for students to express themselves in connection with the Parkland School Violence last month. In addition to the suggestions from Superintendent Corey, Crystal Students will have the opportunity to sign a Banner of Unity on the one month anniversary of the tragedy during the lunch hours on Wednesday. Thank you to the PBIS team for leading this!

Cell Phone Policy

Students are using their Cell Phones in Classrooms under teachers' supervision. This behavior is NOT ALLOWED and we all agreed to enforce it at our first Faculty Meeting this school year. Please do not waiver on this rule. The progress we have made in our discipline data is directly tied to our consistent effort with this expectation thus far. 

Chromebooks! 

More Chromebooks and Lockers are coming to Crystal classrooms! Be on the look-out for installation in rooms G104, H101, H104, D201. If you have a device/s that need repaired, please complete an FMX ticket so that we keep our devices in working order!

Students Leaving School Early (from our March Faculty Meeting)

Office TAs will deliver an office pass to the classroom in order for the student to be dismissed from class and go home prior to dismissal at 3:05 PM. Remember NO student should be out of class without a pass.

This Week is the Great Kindness Challenge Addressing Period Tardies: Our January SMART Goal: By January 30th, reduce the number of students with 10 or more tardies to under 100 students (not counting 1st period) Month Students with 10 or More Tardies January 27 (as of 1/21/20) December 92 November  54 October 115 As you can see, we are on track to meet our SMART goal…. More good news in January. Our referrals are down... Curiously, our Cougar Credit points given to students are down as well... The kids are responding with better behavior. We just need to keep up the positive praise! If we continue to promote positive behavior (giving points), we can assume that there will be fewer referrals and fewer tardies!! Let’s not leave our students hanging. Looking deeper, there is still more work to be done. Do you see the achievement gap in this data?? When one group is over-represented with a higher discipline rate t...
