 Promoting Positive Behavior
Our focus for this month is to improve students' in school attendance and getting them to go to class on time for the 2 most challenging periods - 2nd and 5th. To do this, we are going to be focused on the two most challenging periods each day:

  • 2nd and 5th period for 7th and 8th grade teachers.
  • 1st and 4th period for 6th graders due to block schedule.

All teachers - Take prompt attendance for these two periods and log points for students that arrive on time and wearing an ID to these 2 periods. Thank you and 
please see the memo in your boxes for more information! 

 The PBIS Tier 1 Team is Offering a Training on How to Use the Rewards Wednesday, September 12th from 8:00 to 8:30 am & again from 3:15pm to 3:45. One half hour of adjunct is available for all who attend the each session. 

 MAP Testing Make Ups - Admin will be pulling students this week to make sure that both their English and Math NWEA MAP tests are completed.

September Focus for Students:
PBIS and Teaching Positive Behavior in the Classroom - Please be sure to work on your bumper sticker for the 6 positive behavior traits! Trustworthiness, Fairness, Responsibility, Respect, Caring & Citizenship

 Classroom Board Elements 
Should be consistent in every classroom & must display: Learning Objective, Daily Agenda, & Homework. A nice example from Mr. Dean:
