C.A.N.E.
Courteous, Aware, Necessary, Encourage
Students are working on school-wide expectations, earning points for their houses, and spending time in House meetings. Just as students are getting individualized attention with academics through RTI, RTI2B allows for students to receive support and interventions for behaviors. Our staff worked together to design a school-wide program to support and promote positive student behaviors. C.A.N.E. works hand-in-hand with the House (Wind, Water, Fire, Earth) system Haynesfield already had in place. For displaying positive behavior in hallways, cafeteria, bathrooms, classrooms, playground, etc. students can earn house points, as well as, incentives within their grade level. In addition to earning grade level rewards, students can earn an invitation to House Meetings which will occur every 4. weeks. Houses will also still compete to be in the lead to earn additional fun every 9 weeks. Students who need additional supports with behavior may be a part of social skills groups, Check In/Check Out procedures, and mentoring programs.House Meetings and Celebrations!
In lieu of pep rallies, we will be having House Meetings and Celebrations. In these meetings, students will get to know other kids from their houses, play team building games, work on their house chant, and compete for additional house points and bragging rights. House Meetings will happen in the middle of each 9-weeks, and House Celebrations will happen at the conclusion of each 9-weeks.
*Be on the lookout for PTA Spirit Wear. Students will be able to purchase a shirt with their house name, logo, and color.
*Students should wear a house shirt or house colors on the days of the meetings and celebrations. Be looking for those dates on the weekly Haynesfield Happenings fliers that come home in the Tuesday Take Home folders.
