Braves Bulletin

In the MVR-III school district, we teach about the 8 pillars of success. This month we are focusing on Collaboration. I can be a team player by working well with others to create some thing together. At Robertsville we have implemented Character Cards. Once the school earns 100 cards, the entire school get s a celebration. Extra recess is the celebration we've chosen for the first 100 we get. We recognize those students every morning during announcements. They love it and we are all proud of them. UPDATE: We are 12 short. We will reach our goal of 100 soon!

Robertsville has an active Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). The organization has traditionally sponsored activities such as the Fall Festival, Breakfast with Santa, Family Movie Night, and fundraisers to support the school.

At Robertsville, we are trying to create the best students possible. Academics is very important, but so is character. We continue to try to help everyone be the best versions of themselves. One way we focus on forming relationships with studens is the four at the door + one more method. It looks different in each classroom, but teachers always greet every student when they enter the classroom in the morning. We acknowledge that all students are a valuable part of their classroom. This helps solidify a sense of belonging.

Each and every day educators have an opportunity to start intentionally with their students. With only so much time each day to work with, one would be wise to incorporate high-leverage strategies to make a difference in their classroom and school. Greeting your students intentionally each day is one of those actions that yields big results. At times, each new thing that comes, feels like “one more thing on our plate,” but maybe it isn’t about adding more to our plate as much as it is being more intentional with what we are already doing. Understanding the big difference between Academic Engaged Time (AET) and Time Dedicated to Instruction (TDI) puts a lot into perspective. Many times we think that we have active engagement, when in reality we have time dedicated to instruction. If we were to increase Academic Engaged Time by 5 minutes per day = +25 minutes per week; +15.8 hours for the year. If we were to increase Academic Engaged Time by 10 minutes per day = +50 minutes per week; +30.6 hours for the year. If we were to increase Academic Engaged Time by 30 minutes per day = +150 minutes per week; +92.8 hours for the year.
