Every classroom/staff member can participate in snowman building in your area roped off. You can start anytime the snow is ready but must be done by Jan. 28th to be judged the morning of the 29th.
Referral Forms for Students: The new forms can be duplicated and are to be placed in the office basket for 'Referrals' on the counter behind Donna. I will add a link to fill it in via a computer on the blog as soon as someone figures out how to do that (Thank you to Honey for being willing to dig into the challenge)!
PBIS Videos: Please take your expectations and attempt to video some snip its of good examples of what it would look like to follow the expectations. You may borrow my phone to video or use an iPhone to video. Deadline to get them to Val is Thursday, Feb. 11. {K & 4th - Lunchroom; 5th & 2nd - Restrooms; 1st & 3rd - Playground; All Others Interested/Willing - Hallway Transitions & Dismissal}. Lots of ideas on You Tube under 'PBIS'.
Schoology: Keep on digging in to be sure your websites are 'Schoology' now and play with other features. Lesley & Carrie are your 'Trainers' to help you along the way. The idea behind Schoology is that it can replace stand alone apps - perhaps, newsletters, volunteer sign up apps, private messaging/texting apps, Class DoJo, Remind, Edmodo, etc. My focus this month is to get parents to utilize Powerschool for grades and attendance. Directions will be included with report cards.
