Hard work pays off! Our students are working hard every day in their classrooms and the learning goals are coming right along! Students not only receive positive reinforcement for their efforts in academics, they also receive accolades for leadership, showing grit in the classroom, and kindness. They will be rewarded for their good habits and hard work. Our school implements a PBIS program where we identify and reward leadership and grit characteristics in our students. Throughout the year, students work on getting tickets individually as well as a class. They work towards a goal as a whole school to earn a reward with their tickets. This semester they earned enough tickets to all celebrate with a popsicle party! On top of whole school rewards, each quarter, each teacher picks 2 students that represent going above and beyond in every day behavior and kindness in our Royalty Court. Each teacher also picks 2 students that have made huge strides in learning and academic growth as their GRIT workers. We celebrate the students with a Royal Gala at the end of each quarter. You can learn more about the PBIS definition and trend here Positive Behavior Interventions and Support.

It’s that time of year where the weather is changing. Remember those bags of emergency clothes in your child’s backpack? Please swap out the summer clothes for fall clothing. Please also make sure your child’s emergency bag has socks and underwear in it. If your child doesn’t have a bag in their backpack- please make them one!!! One outfit, one pair of socks, and one pair of underwear. This is for any emergency your child may encounter here at school, not just bathroom accidents. You never know when they may slip in mud or chocolate milk will attack at lunch!!

If your child isn't feeling well, please keep him or her at home. You must report the absence IN SKYWARD before 10:00AM. There is no need to call the school to let us know. If there are any questions about the absence, we will reach out to you.

The School City of Hobart Building Brickies' goal is to strengthen families by empowering parents as their child’s first and best teachers. Every day, we advocate for families so every child-in every neighborhood-can thrive.
