FEBRUARY'S PAWS-ITIVE CHARACTER TRAIT IS...
PBiS Participant Recognition
Congratulations to the staff of MES on completing all the requirements to be considered a “PA PBS Network Participating Site” during the 2020-2021 school year. This school year is like no other and so the network adjusted requirements to their “Recognition” system. This year we have successfully met the criteria of 'Participating' and next year we will pick back up with where our 2019-2020 Tier 1 & 2 PBiS status left off.
For a GRAND TOTAL of 53,070 Tiger Points so far this school year! Keep up the great work, MES!
2020-2021 PBiS Goal
Did you know that as of February 5, 2021, 94% of our students have one or fewer behavior referrals? 375 out of our 400 students have received one or fewer behavior referrals for discipline thanks to our school-wide support and commitment to PBiS (Positive Behavior Intervention & Supports)! Our students are making great choices and learning quickly to avoid repeating bad ones!
Our overall goal is to have 85% or more of our kids receive one or fewer minor/major behavior referrals this school year. We are on track to meet that ambitious and worthwhile goal!
UPCOMING DATES
Spring Pictures
Lifetouch will be here next Friday, February 19, 2021 for spring pictures. Lifetouch no longer offers the "spec" packages, meaning print the pictures for all students before ordering. The change was made to eliminate waste and reduce the amount of time schools have to spend collecting and trying to get everything paid for. Spring pictures will be similar to fall, meaning pre-ordering.
There will be NO retakes. Any paid package that is unsatisfactory to the parent can be returned for a refund from the company.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone's smiles!
