MTSS: Multi-Tiered Student Support Team
We will be merging our structures for supporting our students academically, behaviorally, and emotionally into one team. The MTSS Team will meet on Fridays. Staff can sign up on the board outside Mrs. Orr's office to discuss their students. This would be the same process for parent request for testing (504 & Sped).
Read for a Better Life
Sept. 18th - Kickoff for read for a better life...have activities and readers come to your class.

Color Run Pep Rally
The Pep Rally will begin at 2:00 in the gym. This will kick off our fundraiser. Please have students seated by 2:00 in grade order. PK at the front, 4th at the back.
Parent Contacts
As a campus we utilize View-it to document our parent conferences and contacts. This allows everyone that interacts with the students to have all the information needed. You can also copy Mrs. Orr, Mrs. Sciba or myself when you want us just to be aware of the conversation that took place.
Behavior Reminders
- Hand out red tickets for amazing things they see any students doing on campus.
- Structured Recess: if this is assigned to a student a parent contact needs to be made by the teacher assigning the consequence that same day.
- You are amazing, outstanding, relentless, educators who make kids lives better every day!!!!
