Interact Positively
Each staff member at Meadowbrook will be challenged daily to increase the number of positive interactions with students and staff in our building. In our learning environment, we are constantly “failing” as we grow and it’s easy to get caught up in critique. Take time to practice positive interactions and cherish them. It It takes 7 positive interactions to break past 1 negative comment.
Students will be given a purple Bulldog Stamp as teachers continue to interact early and positively. A bit different than a “Paw Point,” these stamps are meant to encourage teachers to check-in, ask questions and learn more about our students, not used an incentive boosters.A Paw Point is meant to encourage positive behavior choices. Your child may choose to bring these purple stamps home if they receive them. This stamp is a mark that we care for each and every student at Meadowbrook.
A note from your School Board Representative
Budget Hearing and Annual Meeting
This year the Howard-Suamico Board of Education will hold its public Budget Hearing and Annual Meeting on September 30, 6:00 p.m. in the District Office Community Training Center, 2706 Lineville Road, Suamico. In addition, the Superintendent will present a State of the District address.
We have been asked on occasion about the purpose of these meetings which are also referred to as Meetings of the Electors. State Law requires school districts across Wisconsin to hold a Budget Hearing and Annual Meeting each year. There are legal requirements surrounding these events, but school officials have long recognized this event as an opportunity for the community and the school district to connect, to communicate, and to reach greater understanding. School administrators and board members provide focus on achievements, needs and the future of the district. Community members are presented with information about the operations of the school district, are able to ask questions, and will then vote on various motions.
On behalf of the Howard-Suamico School District, the Board of Education invites attendance and participation from district residents. Please consider joining us on Monday, September 30. Copies of the budget book will be available in the School District Office, 2706 Lineville Road, Green Bay, beginning September 20, 2019, and will be available at the meeting on September 30.
