PBIS
Congrats to EMS for earning the Bronze PBIS award for the 2022-23 school year. I appreciate everyone's hard work, especially our PBIS 2022-23 team (Amy Clendening, Justine Ianiro, Amy Brady, Karla Schwenk, Casey Cook, Amy Dittebrand, Jessica Vahcic, and Angela Minichello).
Please make sure you complete the Building Climate Survey I emailed you this week. It needs to be completed by Monday.
Thanks to everyone for their support with our first lockdown drill.
If there is ever a need to evacuate the building, our evacuation points will be Jacobs Funeral Home and Surfside Park
Please let me know if you are unable to hear announcements, your door doesn't lock, or if there are any other safety concerns.
Security Update
I spoke with Steve Johnson this week and we are working on getting pricing for phones for each classroom, "push-button" door locks for rooms that do not have them, and a few other security upgrades to the building. I will keep you posted.
PowerSchool- Log Entries
Please make sure you are filling out all the "pieces and parts" of the log entries for Discipline Log Entries. This includes: location of event, time of event, attempted interventions, etc.
All Log Entries should be marked as "Minor". I will change it to "Major" if the student received a Saturday School, in school suspension, or out of school suspension. This will assist us with our PBIS data
Detentions
Please use the link at the top of this bulletin to issue lunch detentions and/or after-school detentions.
Parent/ Teacher Conferences
We will not be having parents sign up for conferences this year. I will be sending out an email to parents early next week letting them know that teachers will be available for conferences from 3:30-7:30 and that they can come to school anytime in that time period. Teachers will be in their rooms and we will place chairs outside of each room so parents can sit and wait if you are meeting with another parent. Conferences should be held to 10 minutes.
* Please place a sign on your door stating what time you will be taking a break during conferences (15-20 minutes)
* Text me if you feel you need me in a conference with you (for support).
Good Professional Reading (or Watching)
