During the first few days of school students learn and review expectations and procedures. We have moved to a universal set of school rules this year as follows:
- Follow directions quickly the first time they are given.
- Be safe and respectful to people and things.
- Speak with appropriate, positive, and supportive language.
- Stay in your assigned areas.
- Be on time, be prepared, and do your best.
We will have incentives and rewards for student behavior as in the past for both individuals and groups. Right now, we are focusing on class behavior in all settings.
We are looking forward to our summer reading celebration on Thursday! Students who kept a daily reading log will get to participate in a very fun party that includes a bounce house and bubble machine to celebrate reading accomplishments!!! We have over 50 students who completed a log--CONGRATULATIONS! Next year, we hope that even more students will be able to participate.
Also during the first few weeks of school, we will be completing AIMSweb testing on all students to get baseline data in reading in order to assess how well students are doing and what areas need more practice and intervention. You will be updated on your child's progress many times throughout the year.
