PBIS Matrices
Part of the schoolwide PBIS approach is to set expectations for our students and then recognize their efforts in following the expectations. We have a schoolwide Matrix of Expectations, as well as a Remote Learning Matrix. We review these expectations in class and via morning announcements. If your child is having difficulty with an aspect of remote learning, it may be helpful for you to review sections of the Remote Learning expectations.
Social Emotional Learning
Freckle at Home
Freckle is an online learning platform that allows students to practice Math and English Language Arts at their own level. Freckle continuously adapts to each student’s individual skills, so each student is getting the appropriate challenge, whether they’re working at, above, or below grade level.
We are using Freckle with K-5 students and wanted to share some helpful resources to help support our parents/students at home.
