Person Leave
As a parent, one of my favorite things to do is support my son and his interests. Baseball season is upon us, and I will be using personal leave to depart work a few minutes early on his game days.
Staff Support
Do you have a student of concern who may need a little TLC? Please connect with Ms. Abercrombie and share the details. The student support team meets each Monday to view our struggle and fragile students.

MTSS Update
Skyward and FastBridge are not communicating with each other to automatically update rosters. I am working diligently to fix them. Please check your roster and let me know if it is accurate. I do not want to be fixing as we start testing if at all possible. Thank you!
I am out from the afternoon of April 25 through April 28 to attend the PBIS conference. I requested and planned for a sub but wanted you to have a heads up in case something falls through.
A while back we sent out a survey to staff asking about how you felt tier 1 PBIS was being implemented. Areas of strength included behavior expectations having been taught and identified, feedback to and acknowledgement of students, and faculty involvement. Results noted that we have a discipline data system that is used for decision-making, but it is not easily accessed and used monthly. Other areas of growth included fidelity of tier 1 implementation, team composition and operating procedures, professional development, clarity around problem behavior/discipline policies, and family/community involvement. This feedback will help guide the PBIS team next year. We will also be sending out a school climate survey to staff, families, and students to provide further direction.
