THIS WEEK
...is Spirit Week - check your email from Stella Williamson. Staff Calendar has the daily themes...

Welcome (formerly called the “Discipline”) Assembly on Tuesday, September 3rd, during PE classes: 
The purpose is to teach kids about PBIS school wide behaviors, PBIS Cougar Credit, Cougar Store and safety procedures. All staff should be very clear and “on the same page” with what is presented to students at the Welcome Assembly. Please review the slides.

... and here is the Emergency Procedures for All (in CMS 19-20>Emergency Procedures for All):
PBIS Rewards
Starting today, please be ready to deliver on the promise to assign points with PBIS Rewards.
The students have been taught that if they follow these expectations, they will earn Cougar Credits to spend at the Cougar Store.
Everyone needs to follow through on this for them!

  • All class rosters are updated for teachers to assign PBIS Rewards to their students.
  • All teachers and support staff have been assigned PBIS Awards user privileges.
  • Download “PBIS Rewards for Staff” to assign points - using your phone camera as a scanner! - with a mobile device.
  • If you need help, please tell admin! Click here to get started with PBIS Rewards. 
PBIS Rewards can positively recognize students when they:

  • Be Safe
  • Be Respectful
  • Be Responsible
  • Wear Their ID and Lanyard
  • Use Clean + Positive Language
  • Are Ready for Success
Student(s) of the Month
ALL teachers and staff will select a student of the month. The COUGAR CODE traits will be highlighted each month.

In our CMS 19-20 > Admin Info for Staff > Student of the Month Info 19-20, staff can access the traits for each month, deadlines and a spreadsheet to enter names. 


Awards for students from EACH TEACHER will be given monthly!
