Reestablishing Behavior Expectations

 


Two weeks away from school. Staying up too late watching TV? Playing video games all day?  Sleeping in several extra hours? Taking daily naps? These are some of the ways that our students will spend their break, so it’s important to reteach your behavioral expectations when students return. You don’t need to spend several weeks reestablishing your classroom culture, but several days should be used to help students transition back into the routines of our school day.

For example, you can have discussions with your students about their own expectations. In the beginning of the school year, the students created a social contract. So, ask them what they expect their classmates to continue to do in the new year. Let your students lead these discussions by restating what they expect now that they've had some time to get to know each other and some time away.

After a long vacation, how do you provide additional supports for your students during the transition back? Please share your best practices with your team.

Safety Training

 


We will be meeting on Tuesday from 4-5 PM for our School Safety Reboot training. All staff including hourly, Aramark, and Preferred are required to attend. Please meet in the gym and bring your red emergency protocol chart.

Board Gift

 


Our wonderful Board will be providing the staff with lunch on Friday from Boneheads BBQ. In addition, they will be staying for all three lunch periods to give everyone a holiday gift.
