Message from Principal Kuhnert
Stilwell’s PBIS Rewards Program is looking for your help in creating a positive learning environment where every student can learn and grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Parents/Community members can support our success through donations to rewards for your students’ growth from the following Amazon Wishlist. These rewards will ensure Stilwell students follow the 3 R’s (Responsible, Respectful, Resiellant) both here at school and in the Community in which they live. Donations can be purchased and delivered to the Stilwell main office or mailed directly to Stilwell with the memo of PBIS Donation. If you would like a 501(c)(3) donation receipt please email dohmenr@wdmcs.org.
Thanks

PBIS-
The Stilwell PBIS store is looking for donations to help keep our store up and running! The PBIS store is a place where students spend their PBIS points that they earn for good behavior on fun school supplies, snacks and WDM apparel. Please check out our Amazon wish list if you are interested in helping out! Thank you. https://a.co/epEwzWK
Tier 1-
We are planning for our November 6th PD day. Heavy focus on our sub-group data and being able to get supports in place for students early.
Student and Staff Wellness-
The committee discussed how to continue to improve staff and student relationships and a place of belonging. We are working on improving our SEL lessons by digging into the learning of how to manage conflicts and relationships. We looked the Caring Adult Survey - where students identify an adult in the building that they feel care about them and how that information continues to give that feedback to ensure a safe and caring environment for students.
