The start of the 2023-2024 school year is just two days away. It is exciting to see our building and individual classrooms come together for our students. As we embark on a new school year, we have the opportunity to set clear expectations and routines with our students. I appreciate your dedication to collaborating to create the following building-wide commitments:
We will use positive words, tones, and actions to promote active learning, a sense of community, and self-discipline so that we can continue to achieve meaningful goals.
We promise to provide a fun, safe, and engaging learning environment where we will validate and celebrate student success (regularly).
I truly believe that our students will have positive responses to our intentional words and actions. Thank you for all you do for our students and school.
I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and a joy-filled start to our new school year.
Lunch Codes
The office will be providing you with a classroom roster that includes your student's cafeteria codes. All students are expected to enter their lunch code into the cafeteria computer system, of course, our primary students will need a little help. Please review the Meal Service Schedule as needed.
PBIS Rotation Station Visits
The PBIS Rotation Stations is a routine in which individual classes will rotate through various stations where the PBIS expected behaviors will be modeled and explained to students.
On Monday, Aug. 28 the 1st and 2nd grade classes will start their rotations at 10 AM. Each station has 10 minutes allotted to it, including the transition time. The 3rd - 5th grade classes will start their rotations on Tuesday at 10 AM. Rotation Station Schedule
Our primary goal with this activity is to establish clear expectations for student's behaviors and attitudes. Please reference the hyperlinked PBIS posters during your rotations. Additionally, please be sure to include the hall pass expectation in our presentations. The last station will be in the office, where students will be given their PBIS Charger T-Shirt.
Building Schedule
The building schedule has come together exceptionally well this year. I greatly appreciate all teachers spreading out their instructional time. This is exceptionally helpful to Mary as she supports students receiving services and to Diane and the MTSS team as they seek to provide tiered support. On the ‘Instructional View’ tabs, you will notice that the intervention times are blocked at the end of the day, we may need to make some adjustments to make sure all students are receiving the needed supports during intervention time. Printed copies of the schedule are available in the office or online at: Building Schedule.
Discipline Procedures
Our discipline procedure is outlined in our staff handbook: see Discipline Procedures. A minor referral procedure and online form have been added to help monitor classroom-managed behaviors.
Link: Minor referral form (tinyurl.com/sk823minor)
All completed Minor Referrals will be emailed to each respondent and saved to a building database to track the minor referrals
Three Minor Referrals will result in the teacher’s ability to complete an Office Referral. Office Referrals are completed on printed forms or Skyward.
All minor referrals must include parent contact.
Please see Matt or myself if you have any questions. Matt will be connecting with teaching teams to help them learn how to submit Office Referrals on Skyward. Please review the PBIS Classroom Managed vs. Office Managed Behaviors flowchart. I greatly appreciate everyone’s help in guiding our students.
