Over the summer I took part in a Restorative training with members from our district, as well as, staff from neighboring school districts. The three day training was eye opening, put some of my reasoning to the test, and challenged me to think out of the box. This approach looks at a restorative approach to fulfill our school values. The aim of the restorative approach is to develop our community and to ultimately manage conflict and tension by repairing harm and building relationships.
This can easily be shown in our school values which are:
● Respectful – we value, support and empathize with each other
● Responsibility – we are responsible for our actions
● Safe – we value building a culture of respect and care.
● Trustworthy – we strive to be dependable and reliable
For effective teaching and learning to take place, I believe that there should be good relationships within the school. The restorative approach puts repairing harm done to relationships at the heart of the school. This allows us to build, nurture and repair relationships.

Once again, the entire district is participating in Denim Day/Go Pink Day. On Friday, October 19, staff can donate $5.00 to wear jeans and/or pink in support of breast cancer awareness.
Last year, we raised over $900 which was split between Embrace Your Sisters and a colleague who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. This year, the entire donation will go to Embrace Your Sisters (EYS). (EYS) fills a unique niche in breast cancer services by providing short-term emergency financial assistance to residents of Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Seneca, Steuben, Wayne & Yates counties in New York. A grant from EYS can help friends dealing with mounting co-pays and medical expenses. This emergency funding can also help with rent/mortgages, utilities, and other necessary expenses.
Beginning Thursday, October 4 through the morning of October 19, you can donate your five dollars to:
High School: Sue Gardner/Patti Verbridge
Middle School: Lisa Eakins
Kelley School: Tina Lewis
Perkins School: Sarah Griepsma
Lincoln School: Rebecca Briggs
District Office: Stacy Warren
When you donate, you will receive a sticker to wear on the 19th and a lollipop. Let’s see if we can make it to $1000 this year!
Social Emotional Learning and the Plan for Excellence

Social-Emotional Learning & Upstream Approaches to Suicide Prevention in Schools
Instructional Corner
The most effective teaching and the most meaningful student learning happens when teachers design the right learning target for today’s lesson and use it along with their students to aim for and assess understanding. A learning target describes, in language that students understand, the lesson-sized chunk of information, skills, and reasoning processes that students will come to know deeply and thoroughly. Success criteria are descriptions of what it means to do quality work in today’s lesson in terms that are observable, and measurable; so that students can use them to assess the quality of their work while they are learning. The criteria explain what good work (success) looks like for today’s lesson to help students understand what they will be asked to do to demonstrate their learning and how well they will be asked to do it. Success criteria are specific to the learning target, understandable, and visible.
