BITS & BOBS
This week I wanted to share a video with you regarding “praising” students. The idea of fostering mindsets is not a new topic or one that you necessarily will find new learning from after watching this video, but I think it does a great job of reminding us what type of praise is most (and least) effective with students.
Just wanted to remind you that a training has been added to Performance Matters. It is entitled Youth Mental Health 1st Aid and has been taught a few times in the past. In this course, participants will learn about the unique risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems in adolescents, build an understanding of the importance of early intervention, and given ideas of how to help an adolescent in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge.
Some changes have been made to the Field Trip process. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with these changes. Here is the NEW Field Trip Permission Slip form. Please use this form for all trips, from now on.
Tardy Data: Ten students were tardy four or more times from February 8th through February 14th. There were 6 repeat offenders who will serve lunch detention and zero egregious tardies.
All students appearing on this report for the first time received a written notice with their specific tardy data; additionally, their family was notified of this warning.
