Message from the Principal
Wildcat Families,
As we reach the end of our second month of school, I’d like to share a few of the things coming up that are important in building the positive culture we want for students here at our school. First, 3rd-5th grade teachers will be asking students to complete our Student Climate Survey next week. This survey provides important information for us as a school that we use to make improvements to the student experience. If you’d like to learn more about or preview this survey, the information is provided down below in the newsletter.
One thing we learned from last year’s survey is that our students as a whole don’t feel that we do a great job of positively recognizing safe, respectful and responsible student behavior. In response, our Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Team has been meeting to find new ways to celebrate students being safe, respectful and responsible, modeling the Wildcat Way. Here are some things we’ll be implementing soon to recognize students:
Teachers will nominate 1-2 students each month that consistently model a desired character trait. For October, we’ll recognize students who have demonstrated kindness (respect). We’ll honor these students with certificates and a little ceremony in their honor.
Students earn PAWS throughout the school day for doing things the Wildcat Way. Students can redeem PAWS towards school-wide rewards by placing their PAWS in buckets that identify an activity of interest (teacher pie in the face, recesses with music, special spirit days). We'll also introduce a PAW store later in the year with activities for "purchase."
We’re reintroducing our Golden Award assemblies to recognized a K-2 and 3-5 class that shows safe, respectful and responsible behaviors quarterly with the Golden Shoe (positive hallway behavior), the Golden Cone (positive recess behavior), the Golden Racket (positive behavior in PE/Music), the Golden Tray (positive behavior at lunch), the Golden Plunger (appropriate bathroom behavior) and the Golden Clock (highest attendance rate).
We’re excited to celebrate students in so many different ways and we hope students are too!
Sincerely,
Tim, Principal
Mensaje del Director
Familias Wildcat,
Al llegar al final de nuestro segundo mes de clases, me gustaría compartir algunas de las cosas que se avecinan y que son importantes para construir la cultura positiva que queremos para los estudiantes aquí en nuestra escuela. Primero, los maestros de 3ro a 5to grado pedirán a los estudiantes que completen nuestra Encuesta sobre el clima estudiantil la próxima semana. Esta encuesta proporciona información importante para nosotros como escuela que utilizamos para mejorar la experiencia de los estudiantes. Si desea obtener más información o obtener una vista previa de esta encuesta, la información se proporciona a continuación en el boletín.
Una cosa que aprendimos de la encuesta del año pasado es que nuestros estudiantes en general no sienten que hacemos un buen trabajo reconociendo positivamente el comportamiento estudiantil seguro, respetuoso y responsable. En respuesta, nuestro Equipo de Intervenciones y Apoyos para el Comportamiento Positivo (PBIS) se ha estado reuniendo para encontrar nuevas formas de celebrar que los estudiantes sean seguros, respetuosos y responsables, modelando el estilo Wildcat. Aquí hay algunas cosas que implementaremos pronto para reconocer a los estudiantes:
- Los maestros nominarán a 1 o 2 estudiantes cada mes que modelen consistentemente un rasgo de carácter deseado. Para octubre, reconoceremos a los estudiantes que hayan demostrado amabilidad (respeto). Honraremos a estos estudiantes con certificados y una pequeña ceremonia en su honor.
- Los estudiantes obtienen PAWS durante el día escolar por hacer las cosas a la manera Wildcat. Los estudiantes pueden redimir PAWS por recompensas para toda la escuela colocando sus PAWS en un balde que identifique una actividad de interés (pastel en la cara del maestro, recreos con música, días de espíritu especial). También presentaremos una tienda PAW más adelante este año con actividades para "comprar".
- Estamos reintroduciendo nuestras asambleas del Premio Dorado para reconocer una clase K-2 y 3-5 que muestra comportamientos seguros, respetuosos y responsables trimestralmente con el Zapato Dorado (comportamiento positivo en el pasillo), el Cono Dorado (comportamiento positivo en el recreo), la Raqueta Dorada (comportamiento positivo en Educación Física/Música), la Bandeja Dorada (comportamiento positivo en el almuerzo), el Émbolo Dorado (comportamiento apropiado en el baño) y el Reloj Dorado (tasa de asistencia más alta)
Atentamente,
Tim, Director
