Celebrating our January Citizens of the Month
This month our Citizen of the Month trait is Teamwork. We are encouraging our students to work together collaboratively and positively with peers this month!
Celebrating Our Student Growth
This month we also recognized our 234 students who demonstrated the most growth on their ELA, Math and Science Linkit! Benchmark from the fall.

We are so proud of all our students for all their hard work in improving and encourage everyone to keep up the great work!

57 total referrals, 42 minors, 15
majors.
Classroom referrals are the highest location for the month followed by playground.
Many areas of the building are seeing fewer behaviors requiring a referral which is a positive note.
Keeping hands to self and showing respect are areas that we continue to work on.
Our January data shows us that there were 57 total referrals. Of those 57 referrals, there were 42 minors and 15 majors.
Classroom referrals are the highest location for the month.
Our staff and students will be revisiting and practicing our Bulldog Blueprints lessons for these areas and we continue to work with our students on keeping their hands to themselves, and disrespect/defiance/disruption within the classroom.
Winter Weather
We ask that all students are sent to school with proper winter wear each day. Please review our weather conditions for outdoor recess below.
Weather Conditions
Students will play outdoors when:
Temperatures are above 25℉ with consideration given to wind chill factor (www.weather.com)
There is light precipitation (e.g. snow flurries, drizzle)
Snow is on the ground, depending upon how different play areas are affected
Playground/Field Conditions
Students will be permitted to use playground equipment, fields, and asphalt play areas when conditions are suitable for safe play. Safety considerations included:
Equipment that is dry and ice free
Fields that are not muddy or icy and asphalt play areas that are not icy
Snow that is not deep enough to inhibit students walking/running
Snacks
Students are able to purchase a snack during their lunch time that is separate from their daily snack time.
A reminder that all breakfast and lunch is free for students, however, if they request a second meal, they will be charged.
This Month in Classroom Champions
February is all about Teamwork in Classroom Champions! This month, Christian will teach students that through the development of teamwork skills, they learn the communication tolls that help create a great team and strategies to get along with others, including how to resolve conflict in healthy ways.
Our February Citizen of the Month focus will be on those student's who show great teamwork this month!
See what Christian has to teach us about Teamwork this month:
