Announcements:
As stated in the staff meeting yesterday, PLT's will resume next Monday, 10/6. It will be Day 3.
Make sure you sign up for a time for your class to go Bee shopping.
Pleas make sure you fill out the PBIS Survey that was sent in an email to you on 9.28.
Mrs. Merrill has made it easy for your class to vote for Specials Bee Incentives. There is a Smart file on the S drive under PBIS/Specials Bee Incentive Vote 2014. Just drag that file onto your desktop, open and use.
All staff members, let's make sure we are teaching, reteaching, and teaching again the procedures in the common areas (Hallway, Cafeteria, Bathrooms, Playground, Bus). We should be giving out lots of Bee's for students demonstrating the basic expectations. It is a good idea to review the procedures before you leave one area to travel to another area.
1st offense: verbal warning, and letter will be sent home to be signed. Parent or guardian notified of violation
2nd offense: Teacher notifies parent or guardian and student is removed from class until proper SMOD is delivered.
(Teachers, we all should be enforcing this, it will only work if we all enforce it).

SMOD Tickets (dress code violations) are located in the workroom. Please keep the bottom portion for your own records as a way to keep track of the number of violations. The continuum is as follows:
1st offense: verbal warning, and letter will be sent home to be signed. Parent or guardian notified of violation
2nd offense: Teacher notifies parent or guardian and student is removed from class until proper SMOD is delivered.
(Teachers, we all should be enforcing this, it will only work if we all enforce it).
PDP's should be completed by the end of September.
