FMS Staff News
January 19th, 2019
Dear Team,
I hope everyone enjoyed the ice day Friday. Thank you for a great week last week...even though that weather change definitely had some affect on our kids. Also, the start of the pilot of headwear went well Thursday. We will continue to see how it goes.
Tuesday Team-student concerns using the protocol and review the mission/vision/collective commitments (linked above). If you want anything else added to your agenda, let your lead team person know. Items discussed in teams should be only what is on your agenda. Remember your focus should be on Tier 1 students OR email those staff members that are the go-to for the Tier 2-3 students.
Thursday Team-MVCC with Houf from last staff meeting (that we didn't get to)
Be safe and stay warm!
Have a great weekend!
Beth and Erica

Teaching Tolerance
Incredible Interview with Dr. Pedro Noguera
“We have to demystify success for kids,” Noguera says. “There are certain strategies that we know are more likely to lead to success, and we need to make sure kids know what those strategies are.”
Explicit teaching of things like study skills, organization, note-taking, and time management can all help students build habits that will lead to success in school. Noguera also points to the resources from AVID, whose programs focus on these skills.
