Westside Week Ahead
August 17, 2017
Congratulations on a successful first day of school! The students came in smiling and walked out of the building with smiles, as well. Everyone is working to implement our new discipline plan. Thank you! Please be consistent and ensure that students are following our four rules. Some students have served a 20 minute timeout and others may reach the point of timeout for the remainder of the day. That is ok. Follow through on the plan. The students need to understand the rules and they need to know that the consequences are real. Eventually, the students will come to appreciate the structure and consistency. Learning does not occur as quickly in a chaotic environment. Please do not send home the parent letters (refocus sheets) for two weeks. Students need to learn the plan before we begin to involve parents in the process.
