ABCDE Goal-Behavior

During our recent staff meeting, I shared a new resource available to all staff members—Behavior Passes. These passes are being offered as a token of appreciation for all you have done this year to support and care for our students.

We understand that, despite the many strategies and supports in place, there are times when you simply need a break from managing student behavior, and we hope this resource can provide that relief when needed.

Each staff member may select one pass to use by May 29, 2026. We wanted to offer choice because we recognize that everyone’s needs are different, and we hope this allows you to select the option that will be most meaningful and helpful to you.

Please click HERE by Tuesday, April 21 to make your selection.

4.17.26 Half Day PD

The leadership team continues to uphold our promise to you. We are providing you with an hour and half additional planning time during our ½ day PD on Friday.

The first hour and half will be spent together dedicated to vertical alignment conversations between grade levels (above and below, when applicable) to calibrate expectations and strengthen consistency in instruction.

First, grade levels will be able to discuss any writing or grammar topics and/or expectations that you feel students may need additional support with or further development as they enter/exit your grade level.

Then, we will continue vertical alignment conversations, with a focus on the specific writing genre that you voted on—constructed response.

The second hour and a half you can prep/plan at your discretion. However, all salary staff must remain in the building until 3:30 PM, hourly staff do not attend. You can view the agenda by clicking HERE.

We hope the additional 6 hours of prep that our half days provide reaffirm that “you matter!”
