Systems of Support

We currently have a high functioning PBIS system based on a House system. We use PBIS Rewards to give House points to students when they meet or exceed expectations. We are sending a team to the Ron Clark Academy to strengthen this area. This year we have been implementing Character Strong in 6th grade as our SEL curriculum. Next year we will be expanding this to all other grades. We also have Tutorial/Advisory in 6th grade this year and will be expanding this to 4th & 5th grades. Through this schedule, teachers will be able to provide daily intervention/enrichment to students that are struggling. We have attended trainings from a school near us on this idea. We have also had a team attend the Solution Tree RTI training last year and will attend again this year.

We have been working on improving community/family engagement for the last several years. We have Open House in the Fall and several family nights throughout the school year. We also have an end of the year carnival that is very well attended. It is our goal to continue to strengthen this area.
