PBS Success 3rd Quarter (January 7 - March 8) YMCA
January Solution Plan will carry over from December to work on bus referrals and behaviors.
January is also a great time to reteach expectations and routines in your classroom. The Coaches Corner has ideas to help support this need. Please be sure you are reading this each month.
Spartan Skill Lessons on Tuesdays:
January 14: Skill #1, 2
January 21: Skill #35, 36, 37
January 28: Skill #3, 4
Reminders:
January 25th is our next Spartan Assembly-- The week of the Assembly we are teaching the Skills #35, 36, 37-- these focus on our expectations. Take time that week prior to your PE class time to go in early between the classes and review how it looks, sounds and feels to enter, sit and be in the gym for Assemblies.
PBS Team met this week and reviewed our Discipline Data for December:
Team members will share this review with you as well as our coaches sending it out in email form.
CLT Focus on Monday 1/14/19
- PBS Lessons/Tier 1 Supports brief info and Q&A
- Spartan Tutoring will not make changes to rosters at this time.
- iReady Data Chat and Action Planning-digital forms shared out/hard copies will be brought that morning, bring your Diagnostic Results and your laptops.
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!!

Gratz Brown Tribe Character Traits:
October: Cooperation
November: Responsibility
December: Compassion
January: Perseverance
February: Honesty
March: Self-Discipline
April: Positive Attitude
May: Patience
Please remind your parents what our trait is each month in your newsletters. Also note that a change to our monthly spirit assemblies will be that our Character Trait winners will do their challenge at a later time and not during the assembly. This is to help cut down on some of the issues we are having with noise and length of the assembly.
