Stilwell Newsletter

PBIS- At Stilwell Junior High we feel it is important for all students to feel welcomed and respected and most importantly to always choose,”KIND”. Students demonstrate this by following the 3 Stilwell R’s.

• Respect

• Responsible

• Resilient

Tier 1- We are planning for our November 6th PD day. Heavy focus on our sub-group data and being able to get supports in place for students early.

Student and Staff Wellness-The committee discussed how to improve staff and student relationships and how to make Stilwell a place students want to be at - where they feel they belong.
