PARENT NEWSLETTER - JANUARY 2022
Hello Montessori Parents:
It's 2022... can you believe it! Wow, each year seems to go faster and faster! I hope you all had a peaceful holiday season and I wish you a Happy New Year!🎉
I'm excited to tell you about a goal we made for this school year and how we're progressing so far. The staff and I looked at our back to school data in the fall and noticed some gaps in phonemic awareness and fluency. We made an action plan and and set forth with targeted interventions and strategies to help all students become better readers. We told the students about our goals and have challenged all students to grow in their reading skills. In the fall we had 56 students who were considered "below grade level" in their reading skills and that fell to 43 in the winter! In the fall we had 122 students who were reading "at or above grade level" and in the winter we had 139 students in that category! We could not be more proud of the students efforts and we will continue providing supports and encouraging students second semester!
We have fun events coming up this semester, please check out the PAB calendar below so you can join us.
Please reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to visit about your child's education.
Educationally,
Mrs. Hausmann

What is PBIS?
What are Tier 1, 2, and 3 PBIS Supports?
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) supports all students in Lincoln Public Schools. Grounded in almost 40 years of research, PBIS is the only evidence- based practice and framework for supporting all students. PBIS has three tiers of academic and behavioral supports:
Tier 1 supports are for all students (100%). They assure that students are taught school expectations, that positive behavior is acknowledged, and corrective feedback is provided.
Tier 2 supports are for some students (about 20%). They provide students with additional instruction and practice on the school wide expectations. The Tier 2 supports intensify all of the teaching, acknowledgment, and feedback that occurs with Tier 1 supports.
Tier 3 supports are for a few students (about 5%). They are focused more on the individual student needs and intensify all previous supports provided in Tier 1 and 2.
These three tiers of support are reviewed by collaborative teams using data. This assures that the supports we put in place for students are working. Level 1 supports are constant and consistent. Level 2 and 3 supports are monitored to support students as long as they may need them.
Here at Montessori, we have all three tiers of support for students. We continue to teach our expectations and acknowledge positive behavior when we see it. In this way, we know we are supporting all students to learn the academic and behavior skills necessary for success in and out of school.
