Shout Out
Please remember to be placing student shout outs in the box in the front office- each classroom teacher will be getting the shout-out forms in their boxes so they can remember to SHOUT OUT the great things happening around T Plus.
If you want additional Shout Outs check in with Jewell and she can give you the forms.

Behaviors
In the office you can find the paper version- For the Google Forms version use the links below- We can keep better track with the forms below -v - paper
- Level 1 & 2 sheets , as well as the
- Level 3 & 4 sheets (this may result in student removal)
Remember we can not remove students without the paperwork and it is important that we document all behaviors and responses so we can identify patterns of behaviors and strategies that work/don't work.
Calling All Talented T-plus Staff!!
JAG posted a sign-up sheet for all staff in the main office for any staff member to sign up for the December 16th Tplus Staff Talent Show! We already have 10 acxts but would love to have more; a show of epic proportions! You may sign up as a group, a duet, an individual act, etc.
Please specify what type (instrumental, singing, acting, magic show, etc), and how many will be on stage (number in your group). In order for this to be successful for our students to see us in a FUN new way, we will work together with JAG in the spirit of collaboration.
Also note when you sign up if you can team up with the students make this a success. We will form a small team to assign each a task so JAG is not overwhelmed with a last minute addition to their workload.
Thank you for sharing in the spirit of fun and community!
Due Process
FYI: You can NOT create meeting notices retroactively.
The message from M&C is that we need to work harder at creating them PRIOR TO the meetings. If you have created a meeting notice for a meeting that already occurred, you will need to put in a request to Mookie to have that document deleted. Do not email Mookie; fill out the form.
The psychologists are both very happy and willing to review evaluation plans before case managers send them out. There have been quite a few errors as of late (both big and small), which could easily be fixed with a second set of eyes looking it over.
