School Announcements & Updates
CONDUCT REFERRALS
As we draw closer to the end of the year, please take a moment to breathe and reflect. Remember, a child's behavior is not personal. Revisit & refresh by reviewing the trauma resources on schoology & the PBIS group on schoology.
Currently, we are working with several high need-crisis situations. Before sending a student to the office, assess, and ask yourself if it is truly a Major conduct referral or if it is a classroom issue? Please utilize your classroom strategies and buddy teachers to support. Thank you for everything everyone does to ensure all of our students are successful and have a positive end to the 17-18 school year.
Please review the link above for End of Year procedures. It is important that you read this for detail as some procedures have been updated/changed. It will force you to "Make a Copy"
ADD YOUR LAST NAME AS THE NEW FILE NAME (IE. MERCADO END OF YEAR CHECKLIST)
You may then complete the entire checklist electronically (NO PRINTING NECESSARY)
Upload the completed document on SCHOOLOGY before leaving on 6/15/18!
TIME TO PURGE!
An extra dumpster has been added behind the school, specifically for us to begin the cleaning out process. We are scheduled to break ground next summer and it is imperative to start purging and simplifying to only items that are essential. Please begin to identify non-essential items that are "purge-worthy." Try to toss something in there each day :)
COMPUTER LAB
The computer lab is reserved from 8am-12pm on Wednesday, 6/6 & Thursday, 6/7.
If you have not yet, please sign up for one summer training date to get your iPad for next school year!
