ePack #6

Dear Families:

We had two assemblies on Tuesday to kick off our Positive Behavior Intervention System (PBIS).  I'm sure you have heard of our "compliment cards" by now.  Children earn a compliment card for exhibiting positive behavior.  For example, a child may earn a card for helping a fellow student pick up a set of papers he/she dropped or for using excellent manners in the cafeteria. Each time a student earns a compliment card, a star is earned for the student's classroom comet poster.  50 stars = reward for the classroom.

Students can also earn a "Golden Compliment Card" for doing something "above and beyond".  We added another layer to our PBIS this year - if the school earns 200 stars by October 31st, the school earns a "spirit day".  We are looking forward to handing out many more compliment cards!

Soup and Cookie Fundraiser:  Forms for this fundraiser are due tomorrow!  Thank you very much for your support!

Parent/Teacher Conferences:  Sign up forms were sent home today.  Some teachers may not have gotten to their mailboxes to send them home today, so you will get the form tomorrow.  Please return your form as soon as possible.  The deadline to return the form is October 31, 2016.  

School Picture Day:  This takes place on Friday, October 21st.  Picture order forms were sent home today.  Again, if you did not receive it today, it will be sent home tomorrow.  

PTO:  Our next PTO meeting is Monday, October 17th at 7:00 p.m.

Reading Logs:  Most students are not turning in their weekly reading logs.  Completing these logs is not an optional homework assignment.  It is very important that the logs are completed so children continue to improve their reading skills.  

New Mobile Laptop Cart:  I am happy to announce that our Technology Department is just about finished with our new laptop cart.  Once this cart is completed, we will have two mobile labs for our students to utilize.  

That's all for now!  Have a great weekend.

Mr. Gaudette
