Happy dance for Columbia, Lincoln, and Pioneer

Please join me in supporting and encouraging Columbia Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and Pioneer Middle School.  These three Wenatchee School District schools are putting together a team of educators to send to the PBIS training this year.  The first two days of training will be in June followed by additional training in late summer and fall.

If your child(ren) or grandchild(ren) attend one of these schools, I would hope that you would express your appreciation and support to the administrator(s), teachers, counselor, and other staff.

As community members, I would encourage you to send a letter of appreciation and support to the administrator(s), counselor, and select staff (list below) at each of these schools. 

In addition, a thank you note to Superintendent Brian Flones, our school board members, and district administrator, John Waldren, would be appropriate. 

It is important that our education leaders know that their community is aware of and supports research based systems in our schools that positively affect our students academic and behavior outcomes. 

So, write a card or letter or email.  Schedule a visit with the principal or your child's teacher.  Join me in supporting and encouraging these schools today!

“What is School-Wide PBIS?”

Improving student academic and behavior outcomes is about ensuring all students have access to the most effective and accurately implemented instructional and behavioral practices and interventions possible. SWPBS provides an operational framework for achieving these outcomes. More importantly, SWPBS is NOT a curriculum, intervention, or practice, but IS a decision making framework that guides selection, integration, and implementation of the best evidence-based academic and behavioral practices for improving important academic and behavior outcomes for all students.        Source: www.pbis.org
