Counselor's Corner
Next week we will discuss the importance of Acts of Kindness with the students during PE for our monthly counselor lesson. Hopefully the kids will take the lesson into your classroom and throughout our school. In conjunction with Acts of Kindness, we will also discuss keeping each other safe.
SPED
Punxsutawney Phil made his famous prediction Thursday morning, emerging from his burrow to see that there are 3 more months of Spring ARDs at OW! So, please be sure to (1) meet the deadlines given by the SpEd case managers for ARD prep forms, (2) respond to team evites so that a sub can be sent to the correct room for ARDs to begin on time, and (3) know that all information requested by SpED department is required by the Director of Special Services and will be part of the student's Annual ARD.
Thank you for all you do each day for the success of all OW students!!
Literacy
We have started adding student created words to the hallway word walls! This is one of the ultimate goals for our Oakwood hallway word walls. In order to continue this, we need students creating words. This is a little difficult for me to do, since I only see a handful of students at a time. So I’m hoping to get into success classes to start facilitating this process. If you are willing to “donate” one of your success class periods to generating vocabulary for the word walls, we could really get this project moving a lot faster. Don’t worry, all you need to do is volunteer to help, I will do all of the preparations. Please e-mail me if you can help with this!
Martin's World
Boxtops Collection February 13 - 17. StuCo should be getting their container decorated. During collection week, boxtops should be trimmed and sorted in your team area during Success class by StuCo and friends. StuCo will meet to count boxtops on Friday, February 24th during Success classes.
Rocco's Corner
We are continually improving our student culture and campus discipline through our consistency with PBIS practices. Please remember, because behavior is contextual, we must always enter the approximate time of the incident when submitting referrals. It is not a red asterisk box that is required to be filled before saving, but in CSISD we require that information.
Go Wildcats!
AVID
Thank you to everyone for helping with our Showcase today. While it is not yet over, we have received a numbed of compliments on our building and students.
