Subject: Update
I wanted to give you an update on where we are with PBIS. Now that I have
presented to the leadership team, it is no surprise that we are moving
forward with this initiative in the WSD.
So, here is the update….
•Lewis and Clark is beginning to develop and implement their own practices
of positive behavioral supports and interventions for their students in
place of MYD.
•PBIS training for the entire Lewis and Clark staff will occur next week.
•Valley Academy is also doing likewise.
•Support for the MYD program continues. Our new employee training was
yesterday.
•The MYD Cadre is being reorganized as a PBIS District Committee (K-12) and will be comprised of MYD and non-MYD schools. Our first meeting will be on Monday, September 10th from 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm. I am reducing school representation to one rep per building instead of two as was the practice for the MYD Cadre. I am also seeking three parent reps (i.e. elementary, middle and high school) though I have not made any solicitations as of yet. This will be our over site committee for everything we are doing with regard to positive behavior supports and interventions in our district.
•Training for the district committee on PBIS is in the works.
If you have any further questions or wish to share anything with me, feel
free to contact me at 663-8161ext. 323.
Sincerely,
John Waldren
