Now it is time for our PBIS vocabulary game….. WORDS WITH FRACULTY
WORDS WITH FRACULTY! This week’s intellectually snobbish, impractical, obsolete, and vacuous word will be stated on the announcements. Students will be challenged to use the word in its proper context per the appropriate content area to gain prexie love in their classes.
THIS WEEKS WORD: Bilk - cheat; defraud
Great News - Mail Chimp is Here!
Mail Chimp is our amazing new platform for sharing great news with our GW families. Thank you to everyone for your contributions…..KEEP THEM COMING! You are doing great work with our students and the parental feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
Continue to send your pictures and short write-ups to Ms. Barnes - adriane.barnes@acps.k12.va.us - to share all the wonderful things going on in your classrooms.
Thank you!
HALLWAY SUPPORT AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Please, please, please be a present force in the hallways during ALL passing periods. We need to perform as a unified team in this respect. The power of the many is what makes transitions smooth and orderly. Simply put, we cannot do this alone.
PBIS - November Pillar is INTEGRITY!
It's not too late to be a RESPECT certified homeroom, many homerooms are sporting their new certificates outside their doors. Complete the activity and survey from last week and hand it in to Ms. Jackson.
COOL TOOL to be sent out in your email for your PBIS lesson on Tuesday.
November 24 will be our schoolwide PBIS Celebration - thank you for all of your feedback as we prepare for this event.
