Cross the Line
This week we recognize the following:
Rachel Diaz: Thank you for getting our new hooks installed so quickly and sending out that work order for us! The kids now have an easier time putting backpacks up!! (Jackie Perez)
Haley Nelson: You crossed the line when you initiated the start up of a mentorship program, "From Boys to Men," for some of our 4th grade students who lacked a male role model. You have taken time to collaborate with Coach Rohrs and Principal Schroller, and organize the mentorship with high school athletes. You saw a student need and took action in order to best serve our students! Thank you for going above and beyond to help meet the needs of our students! (Mrs. Marshall)
Understanding Proximity Control and Why It Works!
At Floresville South Elementary when we use close proximity with a student and/or students, the students are within 5 to 10 feet of the adult at all times. During transitions to rotations, lunch, or walking in the hallway the student that is on proximity control is either holding the adults hand or directly next to the teacher majority of the time. This enables the teacher to be in close proximity to a student on the playground, in rotations, and in the classroom for easier redirection and to make sure the student does not strike another student or play rough with his/her peers.
If you have questions about proximity control, please speak with Mr. Stavinoha! He plans to do a short PD piece with interested staff soon! Let him know if you would like to attend!
