ABCDE Goal-Behavior

 

One of our school goals is to decrease our total number of student behavior counts by 3% from 2,416 in the 2024-25 SY to 2,344. One way we can achieve this goal is by consistently recognizing and recording positive student behaviors. Every staff member is expected to enter positive behaviors. Classroom teachers should enter at least one positive behavior per student each trimester for their homeroom. Specials and auxiliary staff should enter positive behaviors for their caseloads, or for a minimum of 25 students per trimester. This initiative is powerful because it reinforces positive choices, motivates students, and fosters a classroom culture with fewer disruptions and greater focus on learning. Your efforts are making a real difference in our school community. Thank you for everything that you do that embodies our Core Value “behave with care.”
