Bragg Street
Together We Stand United!
An Inside Look
Welcome back from spring break! We now have fewer than 7 weeks left until the end of the school year but who is counting.
Some schools have such a positive school culture that you can see and feel it as soon as you enter the building. It’s evident on the walls, in the students and staff, and in every classroom, you visit. How does Bragg Street foster such a rich and positive school climate? I truly believe that if parents, the community and students viewed our weekly newsletter they would not only see but start to believe in our success. This newsletter is packed with the powerful impact that our teachers have in the lives of our students. As we are headed into the latter part of this year and start to implement new changes for next year, continue to reflect and put into practice the following 8 bulleted statements that build a positive school climate.
1. Live your vision mission
2. Embrace Social-Emotional Learning. This is for teachers and students
3. Foster a culture of resilience
4. Communicate well — and often (to all stakeholders)
5. Recognize the awesome in your peers (staff)
6. Recognize the awesome in your students: positive behavior interventions & supports
7. Make your school’s brand + community members visible
8. Remember that every positive word and action matters.
As we are preparing our students for the End-of-Year testing and course completions, please make every minute count with rigorous bell-to-bell instruction. Although incentives are important to boost morale and work productivity of our students, we need to stay focused on our end goal. Classroom lessons need to be structured and engaging. Keeping students engaged will also help reduce the discipline issues in classrooms. As always, continue to implement tier discipline strategies and contacting parents.
I will be coming to you to finish up observations, and as soon as we are able to do this, information about summatives will be sent.
