A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPALS:
Principal, Paul Bierman
Associate Principal, Matt Peetz

It is our sincere hope that this month’s note finds you and your family well. Our students continue to amaze us daily with their hard work in the classroom, with the kindness they share, and with the joy they spread throughout the school. It is hard to believe that we reached the first-trimester point this month! We thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to provide the best education possible for all of our students. Please remind your children to BE SAFE, BE KIND, and BE RESPONSIBLE at school.
If you have not yet scheduled a parent-teacher conference with your child’s teacher, please contact your child’s teacher or the school office to set up a time to meet with your student’s teacher(s). Conferences are a wonderful way to connect with your child’s teacher and a great opportunity for you to find out more about your child’s academic, social, and emotional growth at school. Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for Thursday, November 2, from 4:00-8:00 p.m. and Friday, November 3 from 8:00-11:30 a.m.
Did you know that November is National Family Literacy Month? Studies show that reading aloud with a parent or loved one is the best way to help children develop as readers. Try to find some time to cozy up with your child and dive into a good book. If a child reads for 20 minutes every night, they will hear 1.8 million words a year!
Colder weather has arrived, so please be sure to send appropriate outerwear for recesses to dress appropriately for the cooler temperatures. If you need assistance with outerwear for your child, please contact Paul Bierman at (608) 963-5278.
As always, please feel free to contact us with your questions and concerns.
Thank you!
Mr. Peetz and Mr. Bierman

Dear Parents,
Schools are successful when they help children grow academically, socially, and emotionally. For this to happen, it is important that we have a safe environment that is supportive and conducive for growth. By setting forth clear social and behavioral expectations and directly teaching students about those expectations, it is our goal to continue to have a positive atmosphere for optimal learning. We are excited to inform our families that Pineview and Westside Elementary School are participating in Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). PBIS is a school-wide system that includes proactive strategies for teaching, modeling, and reinforcing appropriate student behavior. We are using this program to help our students have a safe, positive learning environment and to provide consistency in all areas of our schools.
We have adopted a unified set of behavioral expectations. You will see these expectations posted throughout the schools, and your child will be learning them during the first weeks of school. Our unified classroom rules will be found in every classroom and in non-classroom settings in the school. The behavioral expectations are as follows:
“ Be Safe, Be Kind, and Be Responsible"

The Community Learning Center (CLC) after-school program at Pineview Elementary School has openings. This is a free program.
CLC after-school program helps students improve their academic skills, healthily deal with their emotions, improve their self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. CLC provides fun enrichment activities that the students love to engage in. Students receive a snack, have a little recess, homework help or tutoring for 30 minutes, and then two 45 minutes of enrichment activities. This is a great time for children to make friends.
To learn more, please contact Allyson Cummings at acummings@rsd.k12.wi.us or (608) 768-8932 Ext. 2353.

Fact Fluency
Fact fluency is bigger than memorizing facts. In the earliest years of learning, Fact Fluency is focused on students being accurate with their computation. Getting the correct answer through flexible use of strategies is emphasized over getting an answer quickly. Once students have become flexible with their mathematical thinking, the focus shifts a bit to efficiency or speed. An accurate, flexible, and efficient mathematician is the goal. What does this mean? Students need to focus on taking their time to be accurate and not focus on being the fastest. Take a look at Graham Fletcher’s video for a deeper explanation.
