Bearcat Brief
August 31, 2018
Notes from Niki
I've been seeing a lot of memes about "beginning of the year teacher tired" but I don't think this has anything on the 2nd to last week of school tired. There is a lot of energy coursing through the building and we are busy learning. I think the investment of time and talent in PBIS was a wise one. I am seeing several kids who we would identify as at risk responding to the positive feedback. It is not a cure-all, but I hope you see a difference too. We are seeing tons of bearcat bucks go out of the office and the raffle bucket is loaded. Kids are pretty excited to get the Bearcat Brags as well. Keep up the good work giving positive specific feedback.
