TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2007

Happy Tuesday! The first day October brought with it not only some rain and clouds, but also some behaviors from students that haven't been seen yet this year. Thanks for continuing to be present in the halls between classes and during unstructured times as it became apparent to me that the "honeymoon" period has ended for some of our students and behaviors are escalating. A major goal of mine this year is to try as best as possible to be proactive and prevent negative student behaviors. You are the first line of defense in that prevention. Thanks for everything you do and have a great day!!!

Give your students a quick reminder about our cell phone policy, emphasizing that phone can only be used during lunch recess (outdoors or in the gym when inside) and not in the cafeteria during lunch. I haven't received many reports of cell phones in the classroom...so maybe our new policy is working.

PLEASE...when you write an infraction check only one reason and then make some brief comments on the back of the infraction. Patti and Denice do accept infractions by e-mail...make sure you include the reason, students name and grade and a brief comment. Please submit all infractions to the office by 3:17pm each day to ensure they will be processed for the following day.
