School Committees
This year our teacher committees have been tasked to have student focus groups to support and help develop their focus and to get student input. Staff will be meeting this Wednesday, August 30th and will send out information about how students can sign up with a committee they find interesting.
PBIS- At Stilwell Junior High we feel it is important for all students to feel welcomed and respected and most importantly to always choose,”KIND”. Students demonstrate this by following the 3 Stilwell R’s.
Respect
Responsible
Resilient
Tier 1- We are always looking to improve our instructional pratices and this committee looks at consistent practices in the classroom and promotes the learning that our students are looking for and expecting.
Student and Staff Wellness-The committee discussed how to improve staff and student relationships and how to make Stilwell a place students want to be at - where they feel they belong. We wanted to remind students that we are participating in the Healthiest State Walk in October. We are excited to plan a Homecoming assembly for students to feel more connected to the school. We discussed what we see our student needs are and how to best meet those needs in our Tiger Time Lessons.
