Important Information/Updates:
Our playground will be closed beginning Tuesday....We are getting closer and closer to our playground update!!! Until the updates are complete, it is necessary for all grade levels to play in other locations (if it isn't raining...the forecast doesn't look promising). Please work as a grade level to plan for supervision if you decide to use the following areas:
- Ball Field (by the road)
- Ball Field
- Soccer Field
- MPR (this areas is not big enough for an entire grade level. If you would like to use this area, please work on a rotation across the grade level. One class per day using this area would be ok. Also, please do not allow kids to kick balls up to ceiling tiles. This requires lots of work to repair.)
Progress Monitoring: It's that time again! It is time for I/E groups and classroom teachers to start progress monitoring again. Refer to the Tier II/Tier III Intervention Document if you have questions on what you are PM'ing your students with. See Brittany if you have any questions.

Consider completing a Positive Office Referral this week!
PBIS Corner
1) A call home from the Assistant Principal
2) Their picture on the bulletin board
3) A prize from the treasure box
4) Their name on the announcements
Remember that Positive Referrals are for students who go above and beyond the school expectations. To that end, the PBIS committee has suggested that the Positive Behavior Form be edited. Always feel free to use Paw Prints/classroom rewards for good behavior!
Lock Down Practice Feedback
After attending the Tier 1 behavior training, Mrs. Atkinson made posters stating bus safety expectations and sent a letter home explaining them to parents.
The riders on the bus can earn "Free Seat Friday" for excellent (and safe) bus behavior.
Way to go Nanette!
Car Duty for the Week:
PM Duty: Membreno, Torres, Exley, Rockett, Lowing, Davis, B. Horton, Shugart
Please do not send out mass emails regarding other covering duty for you due to an absence/progressional development. We must have confirmed people out at car duty and we have been short several days due to no one answering the mass email and/or people not covering their duty. This is too important a time of day for us to hope someone sees the email and helps out. Please text a friend that doesn't have duty to switch with you and/or text Carla
