GBE Vision Statement:
GBE Students want to be a Champion in:
Attitude, Action, and Academics
PBIS Information:
Statement of Purpose: We will work to create a positive learning environment where students and adults feel safe and respected.
GBE Building Goal: We will increase the number of students who are successful in the classroom setting by focusing on appropriate PBIS supports for teachers and students.
Spartan Skill Lessons on Tuesdays:
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.
CLT Focus on Monday 1/28/19
- 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.
