Hello Tamarack families,

We made it through our first full week of school, and it has been a wonderful week! Students are already hard at work in the classroom. There are so many great things already going on in our building. We also had our first grade-level STAR reward this week for students that have followed Tamarack Expectations. We will continue to teach and model these expectations daily. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

PBIS and the STAR System PBIS and the STAR System

PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) is an organized, data-driven system of interventions, strategies, and supports that positively impact school-wide and individualized behavior planning. Our goal is to model and teach appropriate school behavior.


On Monday, we will be starting our new STAR reward system. I have attached some information explaining how the system works. This system was created to reward students for following our Tamarack Expectations.
