May 21 - Tour of HHS
Fundamental 5
I am excited to see We Will/I Will statements posted and utilized during instruction. We have also seen lots of action in the Power Zone. I hope you are seeing these practices impact the focus of students in your classroom.
HJH Discipline
- Be at your door between ever class change.
- Let students in your room during class changes so they don't pile up in the halls.
- Please "sweep the halls" if you are on CPT or conference. What I mean by that is to hustle kids to their classes that are lingering after the bell.
- At buses: stay spread out and stay alert.
We are working on some alternate plans for hallway changes and bus locations, but we are limited by the sheer number of students we have on campus. If you have any creative ideas, please let me know ASAP as anything we do will be implemented in January. Thanks!
