WEEKLY MESSENGER – Monday, Dec 14, 2015

Principal’s Message

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

I wish you all a restful, safe and happy holiday while you

spend quality time with your families and friends.

In regards to the concern of the detention process, the PBS

team will work to develop a plan for a more effective

management of detention scheduling and notification of

detentions served. This new process will be reviewed during

your PLC’s in the New Year. Distrack will no longer be used

effective 12/11/15. During the last week of school prior to

the holiday break if a discipline concern arises in the

classroom and you need assistance, contact the discipline

office at 33806 (Mrs. Esh-Sheikh) if no answer, push the

Admin Emerg button on your classroom phone

Have a great week!

Beyond Differences is a non-profit organization dedicated

to ending social isolation in middle schools across the

country and creating a culture in which all kids feel

included, valued and accepted by their peers. We are excited

to share with you our No One Eats Alone initiative and

request your support in engaging your school district and

board members with a resolution to endorse our No One

Eats Alone Day on February 12, 2016 - Click here to read

Sample Language

No One Eats Alone, our student-led lunchtime

initiative, seeks to reverse the trends of social isolation by

asking students to engage in a simple act of kindness at

lunch – making sure that no one is eating alone. In 2015,

we had over 400,000 middle school students in over 700

schools in 38 states participate in our National No One Eats

Alone Day.

No One Eats Alone Day works because of three simple

ideas:

Students Can Improve Their Own

Communities: No One Eats Alone allows

students to make a tangible change in their own

community by making sure that everyone is

included at lunch.

Inclusive Communities are H2er Communities:

Inclusive school communities create happier

and more successful students while also

empowering youth to be agents of change.

Stopping Social Isolation Helps to Stop

Bullying: Social isolation is oftentimes the

precursor for bullying. School communities

with a culture of inclusion have far fewer

instances of bullying.

F.Y.I. There won't be students in Teen Court for the last

week before the break.

Serving with a passion,

~LU
