We have 11 ISU volunteer tutors so far to help support our students. I have you have students that would benefit from some one to one tutoring here at school, please Kim Johnson know. Estimated started date is the first week of October.

We are having our Standard Response Protocol Drill on Wednesday, Sept 21st from approximately 9:30 am to 11:00 am.

We will be doing a full school evacuation and bussing to Eastview Christian Church and back, including a bus evacuation drill. Here are the SRP drill overview and presentation for students discussed in the 9/16/22 faculty meeting.

Cougar PRIDE continues and we have moved to "R" for the month of September! Please review the message from the Janel Sebeny, our PBIS Tier 1 coach, that was sent out on 9/8/22:

Attached you will find the Cougar PRIDE "R" for RESPECT lesson and the Locker Stop "Be on Time" lesson. When the PBIS Data Team met, tardies were the #1 infraction documented across the board. One suggestion was to review Locker Stop Expectations. Feel free to make these your own for your team and the specific needs and observations.

Please discuss how you would like to divide teaching these lessons on your academic teams over the next few weeks. We have some funky schedules coming up with the half-day on the 13th and the drill on the 21st, so we just ask these are reviewed by September 23.

Thanks for making KJ a positive place to be! Reach out to a PBIS team member if you have any questions.

Just a reminder that teachers are expected to take attendance every hour they have students on a roster. Administration will be following up with teachers who are struggling with this to help problem solve.
