What is our PBiS Goal This Year?
First Trimester Celebration
When Can PBiS Happen?
When appropriate behaviors are displayed, faculty and staff will give the students a “Tiger Ticket” and verbally tell them specifically why they are receiving the ticket. The student will write their name on the ticket. The student is then responsible for entering their ticket into the drawing in the cafeteria. Faculty and staff are encouraged to indicate their name on the ticket as well. The ticket containers will be kept in the main office and then brought to the cafeteria during the student’s lunches on Wednesdays. Students are encouraged to bring their tickets to the cafeteria and enter them into the drawing as they enter for lunch.
Our Students ROAR!
Food for Thought
The mission of the Food For Thought Project is to provide nutritious food (free of charge) for the weekend to those students who receive government funded free/reduced breakfast and lunches at school. We also offer it to any student at Maplewood Elementary School. Foods are selected that can be prepared by the students if needed. Proper nutrition on weekends has been shown to lead to improved attention and performance at the beginning of the school week.
If you would like your child/ren to receive this bag of food, please fill out this form and return it to school with your child in care of Erin Fonzo.
If you have any questions please contact: Ann Zurasky (814) 673-2302 /elizamegan782@gmail.com or Judy Smock (814) 671-3452
There is no cost to families for this service!
