Discipline Data
October was another GREAT month. There is an overall decline in discipline referrals for minor misbehaviors. The most significant concern, as represented by the data this month, are the number of referrals for tardies.
There were approximately 259 total referrals for October. The top five discipline concerns are the following:
- Tardies- 72
- Skipping- 29
- Insubordination-21
- Class Disruption- 21
- Disorderly Conduct-21
Once again we do very much appreciate your consistency in enforcing school policies and PBIS initiatives this year. We think this consistency has been the major factor in the reduction of major referrals we have seen this year.
Important Reminder-
One way to help alleviate the number of tardy referrals is to consistently stand at your door and usher students into class during all class changes. The PBIS team will begin to collect data on the number of teachers at their door between specific bells between classes.
4:1 Campaign
The 4:1 Honor Roll will be posted next week. The teachers who made the Honor Roll were determined by peer classroom observations and the number of Crabber Bucks received in the Krabba Shack!
Thank you to all the teachers and peer observers for participating in October's 4:1 campaign. We were able to successfully observe more than 53 teachers meeting the 4:1 ratio.
Congratulations !!!
