Kudos Cougars and Family Kudos Cougars
From Ms. Thompson (parent of Keyara) to Entire CMMS Staff:
I wish that you all could see the excitement on Christmas morning from your secret Santa gifts. You truly made Christmas happen for my family, and without you it would have been miserable. You also helped in a way that was not embarrassing, which is so amazing. You all make such a inspirational and positive influence on not only my daughter, but also myself! Thank you for EVERYTHING you all do!! You truly are there for you students and families, not only during Chritsmas but always.
I can not convey how much you all truly do help. Keyara and I have moved more times than I can count (unfortunately) and this school has been the best by far. Please keep up the awesome, inspiring work. You truly are making a difference in our future generations.
From Ms. Ellis to Mr. Melchert:
Mr. Melchert is always there to collaborate or help out with the students that we share. He is dependable and professional in every way. I am thankful for our inspiring conversations. Thank you for all you do for our kids. We are lucky to have you here at Cougar Mountain.
From Ms. Ellis to Ms. Gates:
Brenda I want you to know how thankful I am for all your hard work. You are the face of our school and I appreciate all you do for our students, administration and teachers.
From Mr. Reid to Mr. Chase:
Thank you for your support in the lunchroom and outside at buses. It is so helpful to have an extra pair of eyes. Also, what a great way to build relationships!!! Kudos!!!
From Mr. Reid to Mrs. Vanderwood:
Thank you for always going above and beyond to hold you students accountable. Having that support during lunch will go a long way with your students!!!
From Mr. Reid to Ms. Goldsberry:
Thank you for putting up with me, supporting me, encouraging me, and all the things you do around here!!! 50 Points for you!!!

Please take some time to Notice and Wonder on the data below. We will bring your thoughts back to our PBIS/Discipline Committee to design Action Steps.
Discipline Proportionality Data
Without saying too much, the data above shows two percentages that are clearly disproportionate--meaning when comparing the two groups defined below, one is too large in comparison to the other.
Proportions:
The first percentage represents the percentage of students who qualify for an IEP.
The second percentage represents the percentage of discipline incidents for students who qualify for an IEP.
Leave your thoughts here on this Padlet.
