SORRY. I'm a day late on my post...this was supposed to be posted yesterday.

I hope everyone had time to enjoy the great weather this weekend. I had to opportunity to spend sometime outside with my daughter as well as do some cleanup around the house.

Today, I will be helping Dawn Tiefert out during lunch detention. On Friday there were about a dozen students in lunch detention. Today that number has more than doubled to over thirty. There are changes coming in the weather and this seems to bring the worst out in student behaviors. I feel, as a building and staff we are working well together in managing student behaviors. Keep up the great work!!

Thanks for making Friday's Honor Level 1 Reward work. The gym was loud and hot, but in general I think the Honor Level 1 Students enjoyed the reward. This week I will distribute a short student survey that I would like completed in homerooms. This survey will ask students what they would like to see for rewards. The results of this survey will then be forward to the Discipline Committee and will hopefully aid in planning of future Honor Level Rewards.

In addition to Friday's Summary list below - Monday there was no ISS supervisor in the morning, so I sent the three students who were serving their 3rd day of ISS to class. One student, a 6th grade boy was sent to the office around 2:00p.m. Infractions issued were down from Friday by over 50 percent.
