TRUSTWORTHINESS

The A-G Student of the Week is Adrian Cantu,

nominated by Ms. Lacount.

Adrian is such a joy to have in my class. He has already shown a variety of character traits the first few weeks of school, however I wanted to recognize him for showing Trustworthiness this month. Adrian has already taken ownership of his learning. When he didn't remember to turn in something he came up to me to apologize and took care of it right away. He has already proven to me that he can be dependable and responsible in the classroom. - Alicia Lacount

The H-O Student of the Week is Alexander Jirbi,

nominated by Mr. Wooten.

Alexander put his trustworthiness on display last week by reinforcing my expectations to some of his classmates when they started getting too loud. - Hayden Wooten.

The P-Z Student of the Week is Chandler White,

nominated by Ms. Miller.

I am nominating Chandler because she is always respectful, responsible and a complete rock star in class. I can always trust her to do the right thing, even when no one is looking. She is always respectful to adults and other students alike. She is an example for all of our students. - Erin Miller

1) Afternoon Dismissal - We are asking the students to stay close to the front door at dismissal. How does this help? When parents pull all the way to the #1 spot at the end of the walkway in the front, then everyone can pull up way further. Please don't try to pass each other, but just be patient. Staff are out there to help keep the cars moving and keep the kids contained to one area so they aren't getting in cars all over the property. Although picking your kids up in other areas is helpful to you, it slows down the entire system when we are not consistent. Be patient. The plan will work and the afternoon dismissal time will shrink more and more each day.

2) Traffic - I am embedding 4 maps into this e-mail blast to help communicate how traffic is expected to run. Map #1 - Morning Dropoff Map is a map of Leaman Junior High for MORNING DISMISSAL. You have 3 different rows to pull down and drop off your children to save time. You do not need to go in the largest loop only. Map #2 - Afternoon Dismissal Map is a detailed map of AFTERNOON DISMISSAL. Notice that nobody can come through the side gate while our cars are leaving other than a bus. We will have security at the gate to stop people from going to the back of the school. Also, notice that we need everyone to stay in one large loop, or park in the outer lot and wait. That way, we can keep the line moving quickly and hopefully have everyone out of here by 4:00 PM. Map #3 - Afternoon Dismissal with Flow to Surrounding Areas is a map showing you that we encourage all cars to exit to the NORTH of our property and avoid coming back down the road to the light. You will get back to FM 1093 quicker doing this than coming back down Charger Way.

Please join us for a Purple Track Town Hall Meeting Wednesday, September 28th in the Fulshear High School Auditorium at 6:30pm. #LamarCISDBond2022

PBIS Expectations & Rewards - PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports. One large piece is explaining expectations upfront. Another piece is rewarding students when we see those focused on positive behaviors. 3 campus-wide expectations posters (CLICK HERE) are placed throughout the campus. Teachers will take time during the first day or two to explain these rules in detail and help students understand what they look like. Our campus is also implementing new software (Classcraft) to encourage students to earn rewards and use them in many different ways. Here is a short video on how Classcraft works: https://youtu.be/M2uqd9ZOMaw. Please have your child download the app on their device and log into Classlink on the LCISD webpage (at the top) to start to explore what this is all about. They do NOT need a phone to do this. It can be done on a laptop or computer.

Parents if you are interested in donating to the PBIS school store the following list is a great start. We accept all donations both monetary and items.

We are excited to announce that H-E-B is a proud sponsor of the PBIS Store at Leaman.

If your company would like to sponsor the store, please contact Mr. Kracker, Mr. Gilmore or Ms. Session for more information.
