I am calling this edition of the newsletter "Information Central". This will be the one stop shop for all information pertaining to back to school. You can find linked below the school calendar, testing calendar, Moore Street School student handbook, At a Glance calendar, QR Code for Parent Square, QR Code for bus request, etc.
I would also like to take this opportunity to explain one of our focuses for the school year, protecting instructional time. It is our desire not to lose instructional time to attendance or discipline. This will be a collaborative effort between parents/families, students, and staff. Parents/families this starts with getting the students here each day on time. Students it requires you to demonstrate self regulation by displaying desired behaviors for school/classrooms. MSS staff it is imperative to be effective classroom managers that can prevent and/or defuse issues efficiently.
To assist us with our efforts we will be using the PBIS Reward Points Systems. Students can earn points for being at school daily and on time, as well as earn points for demonstrating desired behavior that is conducive for the school/classroom. The points can be used to purchase snacks, personal items, gifts, school supplies, and special privileges. The foundational principal for this program is to focus on rewarding the desired behavior as opposed to punishing undesired behavior.
