Dear Knights and families,

I want to extend my heartfelt thank you to each of you for ensuring that your students participate in our recent testing sessions. Your commitment to bringing your children to these important assessments is greatly appreciated and plays a crucial role in their academic progress.

As a reminder, testing is a mandatory component of our curriculum designed to measure and support your child's learning journey. It provides valuable insights into their strengths and areas for growth, helping us tailor our instruction to meet their needs.

Please also remember to help your child stay on their weekly academic pace. Keeping up with assignments and learning activities is essential for their continuous development and success throughout the year. Be sure to check each teacher's announcement page for specific lesson due dates.

Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in your child’s education. If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to help and are committed to working together to ensure the best possible educational experience for your student.

Warm regards,

Erin Quinn, Principal

Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports is an evidence based, tiered framework for supporting students' behavioral, academic, social, emotional and mental health. PBIS is a way to create positive, predictable, equitable, and safe learning environments where everyone thrives.

PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) rewards are used to promote and reinforce positive behavior in schools.

1. Encourages Positive Behavior: By rewarding positive behavior, PBIS helps students understand what behaviors are desirable and reinforces those actions.

2. Creates a Positive School Culture: Rewards contribute to a positive and supportive environment, which can improve overall morale and relationships among students and staff.

3. Provides Clear Expectations: PBIS frameworks often come with clear behavioral expectations and guidelines, making it easier for students to understand and meet the standards.

4. Promotes Consistency: Rewards help ensure that positive behaviors are consistently acknowledged and reinforced, reducing ambiguity about what is expected.

5. Motivates Students: Rewards can be a motivating factor, encouraging students to engage in and maintain positive behaviors.

6. Builds Self-Esteem: Recognizing and rewarding positive behaviors helps students build self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment.

7. Supports Behavioral Improvement: By focusing on and reinforcing good behavior, PBIS rewards can help reduce the frequency of negative behaviors over time.

8. Encourages a Growth Mindset: When students see that their positive behaviors are being rewarded, they may be more likely to adopt a growth mindset, believing that their efforts can lead to success.

Overall, PBIS rewards aim to create a more structured and supportive environment where positive behaviors are recognized and reinforced, ultimately leading to improved outcomes for students.

Full time iFlagler students need to watch the video below and follow all the steps to create a PBIS account. Once students create an account, they will begin to earn tokens that can be used in our online school store. The store will launch next week.

Click the written directions below! The directions will guide you smoothly through the process.

Please read the iFVS Student and Family Handbook. The updated section on State Testing and Progress Monitoring Procedure clearly outlines the expectations for the year. If you have any questions, please contact iFVS administration.

As we begin a new year, set new goals, and focus on "students first," we ask each family to commit to the following testing dates. Our goal is to help each student academically thrive and the information we gain from the testing results are critical to the future success of all students.

The School Advisory Council (SAC) is a school-based group intended to represent the school, the community, and those persons closest to the students who share the responsibility of supporting the school's continuous improvement. The SAC is composed of the principal and an appropriately balanced number of school faculty and staff members, students, parents, business and community citizens. The SAC meets once a month to discuss the school's and students' needs and implementation of the school improvement plan.
