Positive Office Referrals for December:
Mr. Samuel sent out the following email with the form this week:
During the month of December you will write positive office referrals on this form. Students will then bring this to the office and get an ornament to put on the tree in the commons area. We will begin this on Monday. Our goal is to fill our tree from top to bottom with ornaments before we leave for Christmas Break!!

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!!
