Tuesday January 7th, 2020

DEAR PARENTS,
Happy New Year!   We were all pretty excited to say hello to all of our friends and happy to be back in school today!

WHAT'S NEW?

We are introducing a day-month behavior chart that will go back and forth daily.  Please take time to review the behavior tracker daily with your child and go over personal goals while in school.  Students will color in the "mug" with how they think they did, and the teacher will use a colored checkmark to show teacher perspective.
Purple- I was independent and "expected" today, showing excellent leadership!
Green-I had a great day, I may have needed a reminder to be expected.
Orange- I had an OK day, I needed a lot of help to focus/be expected and follow classroom rules.
Red- I needed lots of prompts/reminders and help to be expected.  A phone call to the office and/or home.
