Building Behavior Audit Survey

• We currently have 34 staff members who have completed the Building Behavior Audit Survey. This is a survey that we are doing in collaboration with CESA to determine areas of improvement for Wilson Middle School. If you haven't already completed this important survey, please do so. I was hoping to have ALL staff participate, your thoughts are valuable to us.

STEAMR Night Survey Feb. 21st 3:30-5:00pm

• It is less than two weeks away! Thank you for signing up to help with STEAMR Night. If you need materials, please see Debbie in the office for the credit card. We already have a PO created for this event. You can use the credit cart to pick up your materials. I have allocated $100 per station if funds are needed.

Request for Assistance Form

• Moving forward, we would like staff to complete a Request for Assistance for any student who is failing your class. In addition, you can complete a Request for Assistance for students who are repeatedly not demonstrating behavior expectations. The Request for Assistance Form is linked above and in the HUB found on the Hawksite.

ALL CLASSROOM & CLUB POs NEED TO BE SUBMITTED: DUE THURSDAY 2/29/24

• We need all POs submitted into Skyward for the remainder of this school year by Feb. 29th. This will ensure everyone gets needed supplies & will allow us to determine funds that are left over for additional school-wide needs.

No doubtedly you have heard and practiced "student first" language. This message sets the tone of child advocacy. Examples of Student First language - student with a disability vs disabled student, student receiving special education services vs Special Ed student, sets the tone of respect for the individual rather than labeling. As an educator, one of our jobs is to model respectful language, continue to put our students first.

The wrestling season has started! Classes/students and staff should not be on the wrestling mats at all during this season. Last year we had a lot of candy wrappers, candy stuck to the mats, and very dirty mats with salt/sand debris which is not hygienic for our wrestlers. Coach Denk will clean the mats daily prior to practice, but they are not sanitized after. Thank you for your help keeping the mats clean!
