Dear Parents/Guardians,

We have an exciting week ahead for our middle school students! From engaging classroom activities to fun extracurricular events, there's something for everyone. We're looking forward to seeing our students thrive and enjoy all the opportunities planned.

A few quick reminders:

• Cell phones that are brought to school must be stored in the student's personal locker during the day.
• AirPods, headphones, etc. should only be worn when directed to do so by a staff member.
• Students are only permitted to carry CLEAR backpacks, fanny packs, pocketbooks, etc.
• Water bottles must be clear.

Stay tuned for more exciting activities!

Thank you for your continued support!

Best regards,

Mr. Endres, Principal

Ms. Coalter, Assistant Principal

1. Bus riders should exit the building using the doors near the gym.

2. Students should board their assigned school bus.

3. All students will be assigned a seat, and as they board the bus they are to go directly to their seat.

4. Students should remain seated, keep their hands and feet in their own space and talk quietly with whom they are sitting

Parents/guardians- please do not enter the bus driveway while buses are parked in the lot.

1. Car riders should enter/exit the building using the front doors.

2. Students should enter/exit the vehicle once it has pulled up to the sidewalk area.

• In the afternoon, if you do not see your student, please continue to move forward so we can keep the line moving.

3. In the afternoon, students should not walk across the parking lot or the grassy area to get to a car that is not yet to the sidewalk. This is a significant safety concern!

4. Drivers, please drive slowly, follow the flow of traffic and be patient!

Student safety is of utmost importance! Please help us keep our students safe by following these guidelines.

PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, tiered framework for supporting students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health. When implemented with fidelity, PBIS improves social emotional competence, academic success, and school climate. It also improves teacher health and wellbeing. It is a way to create positive, predictable, equitable and safe learning environments where everyone thrives.

PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports. It seeks to reduce or eliminate poor behavior school wide through the encouragement of positive behaviors. PBIS decreases office discipline referrals, increases instructional time, and improves student achievement. This intentional focus on positive reinforcement is creating and maintaining a positive school climate for the students and teachers.

PBIS Rewards is a digital platform that allows our staff members to recognize any student, anywhere for meeting behavior expectations. These behavior expectations are defined by the school then communicated and taught. So, when your child displays the behavior that is expected, they are recognized for it. The points earned through that recognition may be used to purchase items from the school’s PBIS store.

As a parent, you can monitor your child’s progress and stay engaged with the PBIS Rewards Parent App! Download it for free on Google Play, the App Store, or Amazon Apps. Adding your child is simple. You’ll receive an email or letter with a QR code from your school. Open the PBIS Rewards Parent App and scan this QR code. If you have multiple children using PBIS Rewards at their school, you will be able to add each one separately. Once your child is added to your PBIS Rewards Parent App, you will be able to see how many points they have earned, which teacher rewarded them, and how they’re spending their points.

PBIS Rewards is helping your child’s school create a positive climate in which every student can learn and grow academically, socially, and emotionally. The PBIS Rewards Parent App is a great tool for you to stay connected and engaged with the PBIS initiative.
