Warrior Weekly Word #7: September 23-27, 2019
P.O.P. Power of Positive
Status Updates
Current Suspensions to Week 7: 15
Average Daily Attendance: 96%
We saw an increase in aggressive behaviors this week during unstructured times. Our focus will continue to on the Warrior Handbook schedule, but we also need to encourage students to make good choices when they are outside the classroom. A friendly reminder often helps-send them out with a positive thought as they leave your rooms.
Shout-out to The Tribe for having nearly 120 students involved this year! That's over 10% of our student population. What an amazing way to build relationships. Thanks to the whole team!
Kudos to Tammy Capela and our AVID team for assisting with our first-ever AVID parent night!
Celebrating Students is back! Use the linked form (also found on the HUB) to nominate students to receive a positive postcard from school!
Thank you for digging deep and making powerful connections with students and learning. You are doing an amazing job!
Have a fabulous week!

Palmer's Power Points
The Power of "YET"
Professor Carol Dweck from Stanford University suggests when it comes to achieving success, more important than believing in your abilities is the belief that you can improve upon your abilities. Developing a growth mindset helps you regard failures and setbacks as just part of a learning process, and gives you the motivation and persistence to master new skills. She has found that it helps to make you smarter, more successful and can also improve your relationships with others.
But let’s be honest for most of us embracing failure is easier said than done when it comes to our professional reputations and livelihoods. In this TED Talk by Carol find out how two simple words shifted mindsets in children, and how they might help you at work.
