Instructional "WINS!!"
- A couple of really big "WINS!!"
- Jennifer Edwards praised the Life Apps teachers for their unity and amazing start to the school year.
- Also, amazing job to everyone involved in the STAR testing. We assessed, looked at data, and made schedule changes for CARE. A definite Instructional WIN for kids!
GRIT Ticket
HOW TO "GIVE" A GRIT TICKET:
1) Verbally acknowledge and praise GRIT behavior.
2) Fill out a GRIT ticket. You can use the back of the ticket to further describe why the GRIT ticket is being given.
3) Turn it into the office for us to announce during announcements. We will write down the student's name for the monthly drawing.
4) We will then return the GRIT ticket back to you to give to the student to take home.
Thank you for all your hard work!
At Meadow Brook we have GRIT.
We are RESPECTFUL.
We have INTEGRITY.
We TREAT OTHERS KINDLY.
