GBE Vision Statement:
GBE Students want to be a Champion in:
Attitude, Action, and Academics
PBS Lessons:
Lessons for January:
These will be shared out from our team for next week covering our new supports added to Tier 1 for PBS. The PBS coaches and the Behavior team that is working on these supports will share all of the info out. We will not implement any part of the new supports until after all the lessons have been covered. The implementation date will be January 14th.
Mini Boot-camp Lessons:
January 3rd: Spartan Skills #31 and 32
January 4th: Spartan Skills #33 and 34
Remember feel free to use your judgement and do any review lessons in trouble spots or areas you have concern for your class. If you need guidance with what lessons is most appropriate see Beth, Jessica or Amanda.
CLT Focus on Monday 1/7/19
- Math Focus at CLT; unless teams deem higher need
- Adjustments for Spartan Tutoring
Please be conscious of where you are in the process. Are you doing more than looking at the scores? Are conversations being had about what worked well and how we can support our students and one another? This is the MAGIC that I want to see our teams work towards and use to grow our TRIBE!!

Gratz Brown Tribe Character Traits:
October: Cooperation
November: Responsibility
December: Compassion
January: Perseverance
February: Honesty
March: Self-Discipline
April: Positive Attitude
May: Patience
Please remind your parents what our trait is each month in your newsletters. Also note that a change to our monthly spirit assemblies will be that our Character Trait winners will do their challenge at a later time and not during the assembly. This is to help cut down on some of the issues we are having with noise and length of the assembly.
