We welcome back Ms. Walema as she is teaching art classes and helping in kindergarten
Ms. Shi is timing her kids for Kagan strategy where kids partner to give their ideas to a
question in the lesson
PBIS is positive behavior intervention support and we invite all community members to attend our weekly video training sessions for parents, training classes, community, and anyone interested in changing behavior for the better. Our kids are awesome and we need to work to bring out the best in kids!!! “What we focus on is what
we get more of” Dr. Becky Bailey
AS a result, student discipline has dropped drastically. A few years ago, over 100s of referrals of our youth went to the detention center, courts, or prosecutor’s office. Now, we have no students attending the detention center. That is GOOD in the BEST INTEREST of KIDS-FIRST as their future depends on positive social skills, interactions, and communication
skills. Keep up the great work STUDENTS!!!!
Goal: Increase student engagement
