Students, families and staff will collectively spend the year discussing what words/traits  best represent us. 

We will build on our building focus from last year: Full STEAM  (CAS, Teamed, Engaged and Motivated) Ahead and utilize this strong foundation to create a plan to put into motion more intentional planning that best represents #ThisIsCAS. 

What is the DNA of CAS

• Level of involvement of students, families and staff involved In our daily activities, PTSA and building based events, and overall Engagement. (staff meetings, DL, core meetings etc.)

• Zones of Regulations in all classrooms in September during SEL time

• Connections- intentional planning will be in place that will focus on creating/deepening connections to our learning community.

• Let Grow Project  

• Paw Prints are utilized and tracked to catch every student doing good by the end of the year

• CAS Buddy Classrooms establish positive relationships across grade levels 

• Student Leaders: Peer Helpers; Cafeteria Help; 5th Grade K helpers; Safety Patrol………..looking to expand this. We will host a Leadership Assembly with all of L4 &5 (information listed below)

• Student surveys (information listed below)

• Announcements will continue to utilize, and look beyond, students beyond L5- all grades

• Look at the number of students involved in school activities; look to see their interests/ increase their voice in planning

• Continue with and expand the Zones of Regulation to grades beyond K. We had some L1 & 2 classes that participated in lessons last year. Will go into every classroom in September.

• Cafeteria K & 4 together and 1 &5 together for better role modeling. This will lead to buddies that will meet monthly to develop positive relationships across grade levels that typically would not happen. 

• Paw Prints will provide every students an opportunity to be seen and recognized 

• Kindergarten Orientation during supply drop off. Several staff members will work along with me as we walk the students to the cafeteria and orientate them with the cafeteria and the bus.
