Principals' Walkthrough

A HUGE thank you to everyone for welcoming Principals last week into your classrooms for informal observations. They were extremely impressed with the targeted instruction, the varied strategies, and the classroom management.

Copy Allotment

We are purchasing our LAST pallet of paper which costs over $1200. We don't have enough money for the remainder of the year to purchase another pallet of paper so we are needing to decrease our copy allotment. Each homeroom teacher will receive 1500 copies per month and non-homeroom teachers will receive 1000 copies. Copies include front to back so while one sheet of paper is being used, it's counted as two copies. 

Your number will only work on one copier. If you utilize BOTH copiers on a consistent basis (one in the front alcove and one in the 5th grade lounge), please let Colleen know. 

If you have any questions or need additional copies added, please see Pitchford. 

We appreciate you being cognizant of how we are using our resources and helping us to conserve paper, toner, and lamination.

PBIS News

The PBIS Walk-Through was a success. 

Both teachers and students answered questions about Tier I PBIS accurately. 

Reminder to teachers/teams using Dojo: Please remember to give specific positive feedback about which area of P.A.W.S. you are rewarding the student. 

This will also motivate others to follow the lead of the PAWS UP student.
