FYI - Please take a few minutes to read!
Week of May 16th - May 20th
Let's make our last 14 days count!!!
Notes about the last few weeks concerning discipline:
Most of our disputes both physical and mental have happened on the playground, in line, or an unstructured activity.
- Recess is an earned event at this time of year. Unfortunately, if they go out and have to sit, they become even more agitated because of the heat etc. If at all possible I would prefer a place for these students to go and work. If all grade level classes go out at the same time, one teacher could hold the others that have not earned recess.
- Create a meaningful learning environment. The more engaged and meaningful instruction the less disruptive students are.
- If they are disruptive please call their parent and let them know. If they continue, write a referral. I would prefer if the referral came from the teacher and the classroom that the discipline occurred. (This includes special area.)
- Students want to be successful but many of our students don’t know what summertime holds and this creates angst for them. A structured safe learning environment is the most beneficial way to deal with this angst.

About National Achievers Society (NAS)
The National Achievers Society (NAS) has established itself as one of the Centers of Excellence's premiere programs. Formally known as the McKnight Achievers Society, it was established with the purpose of encouraging students in kindergarten through grade 12 to excel both academically and culturally. The chief intent is to develop a group achievement modality among its members. By continually focusing on the importance of higher education and group accomplishments, NAS has enjoyed success in helping students develop a sense of achievement and pride that has turned learners into leaders. The Centers of Excellence have inducted more than 19,000 students into NAS since 1986 and induct approximately 300 new students each year.
