- There will be no Ranger Time during midterm week. Students will use this time for studying, working on assignments, and preparing for the end of the semester.
- No iReady minutes for the week
We have three weeks until Winter Break. During that time we have a lot of important activities scheduled to take place. We would like to take a moment to remind families and students about our building wide expected behaviors.
Behaviors that we want to see from our students:
Respect yourself, others and property. (Respectful)
Maintain a safe and clean environment. (Safe)
Engage in productive work. (Responsible)
Additionally, we would like to bring your attention to the following items:
- Coats, cell phones and any other personal belongings MUST be in lockers.
- Blankets must stay at home.
- Backpacks must be clear.
- During class change, students should walk directly to their next class. We are seeing an increase in inappropriate hallway behavior.
Let's have a GREAT week!
Thanks,
Mr. Endres and Ms. Coalter

What is PBIS?
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.
