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

Greetings!
It has been a busy start to the school year, but our students are doing an excellent job of adjusting to all of the school routines and procedures. We are so proud of them for the hard work they put in each and every day. The students are doing a great job of following the PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports) expectations: BE SAFE, BE KIND, BE RESPONSIBLE. Please reinforce these expectations at home with your child.
Thank you our parents and guardians for your patience and assistance at arrival and dismissal times. Those times of the day can get very busy, and it helps a great deal when we work together to ensure a safe and efficient transition into and out of the school building each day.
A quick reminder:
Cooler weather will be here sometime soon, so please be sure to send appropriate outerwear for recesses and to dress appropriately for the cooler temperatures when they arrive. Our weather procedure for colder weather is as follows: If the temperature is below 50 degrees fahrenheit, students should wear coats. If it is between 50 - 55 degrees, a long sleeve shirt, a sweatshirt, or a fleece is acceptable; and if it is 55 degrees or above, a coat is not required. Thank you for your cooperation.
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.
