Regional PD

 

The leadership team wanted to provide you with an opportunity to slow down, recharge, and take care of yourself amidst the busy school year. We are excited to offer a sound bath experience for our staff during Regional PD. A sound bath is a guided relaxation session where gentle, resonant sounds from instruments (singing bowls, gongs, and chimes) help calm the mind, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being. You don’t need any experience—just bring a yoga mat, towel, or blanket to the music room for your assigned 30-minute session.

We hope you take this time to fully immerse yourself in the experience and let the sounds guide you to a place of calm and restoration. If you are interested, you can sign up by clicking HERE.

If all spaces are filled, please contact Robyn M and she will work to get you a spot.

Don’t miss this opportunity because YOU deserve this moment of relaxation!Top of FormBottom of Form

February Staff Fun

 

The leadership team isn’t done providing you with fun experiences, and we hope our efforts show how much we appreciate all that you do!

On February 17, join us for Random Acts of Kindness Day by participating in a Kindness Challenge. By the end of the day on February 17:

     1.    give one genuine compliment

     2.    help someone without being asked

     3.    thank someone you don’t usually talk to 

If you complete all three random acts of kindness, grab a colored heart from the shelf on the mailboxes and attach it on your door to inspire others—because kindness is contagious!

Then, on February 20, celebrate National Comfy Day by dressing down in school-appropriate comfy clothes. We know that for many of you, a comfy day is EVERYTHING because it makes the workday a little more enjoyable while you do the incredible work you always do.

The leadership team is so grateful for all of you and remains committed to continuing to find meaningful and intentional ways to show it. We appreciate Stacey Reed for planning both these events.

ABCDE Goal-Behavior

We all use academic data to identify the specific standards and skills a student needs for academic intervention. As we discussed at our staff meeting, the same approach applies to students who struggle behaviorally—especially repeat offenders. The first step is to review behavioral data in MyNHA’s People Management (see image below) and conduct an ABCD analysis.

Then follow the steps in this Behavior Motivation document to analyze patterns. This will allow you to address repeat behaviors thoughtfully, so your interventions are intentional, impactful, and support positive change.

To paraphrase Albert Einstein, if your current approach isn’t working, it’s time to try something different.
