PBIS INFO

• Keeping giving out those Diamondbucks rewarding students for doing the right thing here at HDMS. 
  • Positively reinforcing behaviors we expect to see in students is tightly correlated with a safe environment and a positive school-wide culture. 
  • We are continuing to draw student names for weekly prizes as well as having the student store this Wednesday (1/29).  Please talk up the cool items available at the upcoming student store (e.g. pizza party for 150 Diamondbucks) with your students; direct students to the display case near the bus entrance for examples of items that will be at the Diamondback store and their cost.

CULTURE OF CARE

Thanks to Brettney and Elissa for leading an interactive and informative session on Wednesday! They are soliciting teacher feedback to help the Culture of Care team craft our next session.

“Whether a kid is sulking, pouting, whining, withdrawing, refusing to talk, crying, spitting, screaming, swearing, running out of the classroom, kicking, hitting, destroying property, or worse, you won’t know what to do about the challenging behavior until you understand why it’s occurring (lagging skills) and pinpoint the specific situations in which it occurs (unsolved problems). Lagging skills are the why of challenging behavior. Unsolved problems tell us when the behavior is occurring.”
