CHICKASAW PRIDE
YOU are now a CHICKASAW with Chickasaw FRIENDS, and are part of our Chickasaw COMMUNITY. We have Chickasaw RULES, and a Chickasaw WAY of doing things. So when it comes time to make a DECISION, ask yourself, "What would a Chickasaw do?" So put on your best Chickasaw SMILE, because every day is a GREAT day at BES to be a CHICKASAW!

OFFICE REFERRALS
OFFICE REFERRALS - Please remember that you CANNOT send a student to the referral office. You must turn in the behavior expectation log to Ms. Adelowo and put the referral in TAC. A member of the referral team will come get the student as soon as we are able. If it is an immediate concern, send a text or call one of us. Remember that Coach Sharpe teaches PE in the afternoon and cannot always assist with behavior at this time. Please be patient and we will assist you.
BES PHONE TREE
In addition to the robo callout, the BES phone tree can be used to communicate whether our schools are open or closed during inclement weather.
Mrs. Walker will call all names in the maroon boxes.You will in turn call the name of the person just below your name. Everyone else will call the person just below their name. If you receive a no answer from the person listed below your name, call the next person and then try to call the no answer number again.
Please check the phone tree and update your information if needed.

Weekly communication between SPED teachers and regular ed teachers regarding student progress with emphasis on those students that are performing poorly. Our goal is to provide intense interventions before a child fails.
SUBSTITUTES
An administrator or secretary must be notified if a substitute is needed. Requests must be made as early as possible to ensure the availability of a substitute. In the event of an emergency and you must call in to request a sub, you can reach Mrs. Walker at (870) 532-7866 (cell). If there is no answer, please leave a message or send a text.
You should have at least 3 days of sub plans in your emergency sub binder that can be used on days that you do not know that you are going to be absent. Sub plans need to be placed in an area that is easy for the substitute to find. In your sub folder, you must have your daily schedule that includes times to change classes, special class times, lunch, activity, dismissal times, scheduled bathroom breaks and the transportation list that shows how your students get home. You must also have a copy of your current class roster with instructions on how to record attendance for your class. You must have any instructional material already copied so the substitute has everything they need for the day. You should have a buddy teacher that will cover your duty when you are out. Please make arrangements so that your duty is covered and return the favor for someone else! We all have emergencies at some point, so we want to make sure our students are appropriately supervised at all times.
