To raise money or other items for the people in the Gulf Region.

More Scheduling Stuff

School social worker signature is required for any change requests to be considered (this does not include new enrollees). Please note this and spread the word to students as well. Thank you!

Message from PSWE & Engagement Team
Message from Engagement-
Thank you all for being welcoming and engaging our students in learning during this first week. Being present and providing engaging instruction is essential in keeping our students focused on learning and growth. We seemed to have less hallway activity and that was due to "all hands on deck" and everybody involved in this effort.
Moving forward, if you need to report a behavior, please fill out the following form. Do not be concerned about the level of documented behavior. The engagement team will be tracking referrals and will determine level of behavior based on the severity and frequency of the action. Furthermore, the Engagement team will work with students, family, case manager, and social worker in determining how to handle the behavior.
Thank you all in advance for helping our building improve in getting good useable data that will help us in our teaching and practices.
Incentives
When we reach 20 days of staff attendance reaching 95% or better - Staff will earn an ice cream day.
