MMSD is in the process of considering several adjustments to our District's Behavior Education Plan. As a District, we believe in the importance of family voice in decision making. By taking a step back to improve our policies and systems, we are hoping ensure we have the right supports for implementation.
MMSD has learned a great deal about behavior support, and what it takes to make sure every classroom is a safe and supportive one. They've gathered feedback over the years, and want to continue gathering feedback and ideas from you as we move forward. Please consider attending one of the following input sessions, facilitated by District staff:
- Wednesday, October 17th Memorial High School 6-7pm Library
- Wednesday, October 24th La Follette High School 6-7pm Room TBA
- Tuesday, October 30th West High School 6-7pm Room TBA
- Wednesday, November 7th East High School 6-7pm Auditorium
MMSD will take what we learn to strengthen our approach. Thank you for your help.

The Hmong PEG group met for our kick off meeting at Bayview on 10/3/2018. Families and staff were happy to be back together and enjoyed the pizza and salad dinner together. Most of our Hmong Franklin/Randall families were in attendance and we welcomed a new family with triplets in kindergarten and a 4th grader to the group.
Principals John and Sylla welcomed families and shared that they had met recently with middle and high school principals to help them also connect with Bayview.
Announcements were shared with parents about: Glow Ball Dance, school and healthy kid info handouts, lice info, MMSD volunteer form, Welcoming Schools overview, Badger football parking volunteers, Open Houses and transportation. Parents generated topics for future meetings: homework concerns, conferences, report cards, and Welcoming Schools. We also discussed computer classes being offered for adults at Bayview and the concern over lack of childcare during classes and info was shared about Franklin/Randall PTO grant applications.
Next meeting: October 24, 2018.

From Chris in the Franklin Gym
|
Kids in the Franklin gym have been working on their gymnastics skills. If you found a small sheet of gymnastics positions in their take home folder, please ask your student where they should keep it safe. Their answer should be something like... "
All the kids at Franklin are keeping their paper in their sock drawer!
" We will be coming back to gymnastics and these positions 2 or 3 times this school year, so keeping it in a safe place, where they know it's at and can practice their skills is a good thing.
