Happy New Year Families,
We are excited for all our students and returning to the groove of learning!
I want to celebrate at this month's board meeting, we shared how K-8 has seen a decrease in major behavior referrals through our Social and Emotional Data Report. While we still have areas to work on, we know we are on the right track through the use of research-based programs such as Responsive Classroom (RC), positive behavior intervention and supports (PBIS), and universal social and emotional curriculums offered through our counselors. Please ask your students about what we do school wide!
Currently, our students are participating in Track My Progress assessments to see where academic growth has occurred and to note areas of concern/challenge for our students in ELA and Math.
Within the next two weeks, we will also conduct safety drills. We are required to do this each month, and this year, we are working on getting these systems as clear as possible for students and staff. A few parents reached out about their concerns about last month's drill. To support concern, we will share a time frame ahead of time in our newsletter when these drills are happening. In addition, when needed, we will share a follow-up email.
In closing, we hope some snow returns to our area soon so we can get our ski program up and running. For now, we are on hold until we have further information from Whaleback. (Please do your snow dances!).
Be Well, Wish for Snow and See You Monday!
