This is your Captain Speaking!
Hello Birdneck Family,
We've been focusing on Student Agency and student goal setting this year. As we begin the 4th quarter it is important to have students reflect on and adjust their goals if they met what their expectations were. Below are two videos related to goal setting that we viewed in August. These might be useful while you are conducting your reflection conferences with students.
Captain Out,

Aren’t made of stone or steel
But rather of the lives we’ve touched
And how we make folks feel”.

PBIS updates
Hello Birdneck Eagles!
Emphasizing our PBIS expectations and reinforcing them with eggs will make things go much smoother in our school. Rose wanted to thank everyone for their participation during the PDP. In addition, she said it was clear that our staff truly cares about supporting students while working towards their academic and social/emotional growth. In order to receive credit for the course, please click on the following link and complete the reflection piece. https://goo.gl/forms/1C1Xb9078IeKh54r2
Here are the slides that she used, in case anyone would like to read over/dig deeper.

Remember, we use the same teaching process for behaviors as we do for academics. Teach, Model, Practice, Reinforce(Eggs!), and Reteach. We look forward to seeing you and your students come up with some creative ways to teach, learn, and practice our school wide expectations! Thank you for all that you continue to do to support our students.
Go Eagles!
-Your PBIS Team
Thank you for all that you continue to do to support our students.
Dyslexia Training
As a result of the new VDOE license renewal requirement for all teaching staff to complete the Dyslexia Awareness Training Module (http://www.doe.virginia.gov/teaching/licensure/dyslexia-module/story.html) housed on the Virginia Department of Education website, VBCPS is requesting that all PreK-12 teachers who teach language arts must complete the forty-minute module during this school year, whether they are up for license renewal or not. Teachers who teach language arts are being asked to complete this to module by the end of the first semester, to ensure that they are knowledgeable when attending meetings in which dyslexia is discussed. As this is a new license renewal requirement for all staff, the completion of this task is being monitored by the Department of Human Resources, Office of Licensure.
