Friday Focus - December 6, 2019

As I have already mentioned to most of you, we are going to do a reboot of our PBIS system.  After Christmas, we plan to begin a new reward system based on Panther Bucks.  We are also going to revise our anchor statement and our behavior expectations.  As we work on these things this week during PLC's and action team meetings, here are some things to think about ahead of time and be ready to discuss:

-What behaviors do we expect in the hallways, cafeteria, morning assembly, playground and classroom?  
-How do we teach and reteach these behaviors?
-What are our classroom managed behaviors?
-What are our office managed behaviors?
-How do we document each set of behaviors?
-What behavioral interventions do we need to use at each level - Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3? 
-How will our new Panther Buck system work in relation to our behavior calendars?

Don't forget to pick up the rewards for MAP test performance from my office.  These are for students who are proficient, distinguished or who met their RIT goal from fall to winter.  The rewards are as follows:
Reading - bookmark
Math - fruit snacks
Science - invisible ink pen

Hopefully we can wrap up MAP testing next week.  So far - scores are looking good!  Keep encouraging students to do their best and meet their goals.

VOLUNTEERS

Just a reminder - if you need a volunteer for anything going on in your classroom or grade level - please let me know.  We have a small group of parents who have sent back papers saying they are willing to help.

Remember back earlier in the semester we discussed that we wanted each grade level to have at least one event/activity in which we would invite parents in to help or view.  Some grade levels have already planned that event.  Just didn't want it to slip from your mind.
