We have many ways that we share information to the public in addition to this PowerPoint that we update daily. I am not sure if the video on slide 12 will work for you or not, but our PBIS videos are also posted on our website. We have students demonstrate the safe, responsible, and respectful behaviors and the staff model the negative behaviors. We have lesson plans and videos for all common areas in the school.
This is just one of the many ways we share information with our stakeholders. We have many ways that we share information to the public in addition to this PowerPoint that we update daily.

Some other ways we share information with our community are at PTO meetings, weekly classroom newsletters, Friday Jaguar Journal, parent email distribution lists, grade level performances, website home page, Principal’s blog, and other school activities. For example: today is the 50th day of school. We have invited parents in to a sock hop to celebrate this afternoon. The cover charge is a pair of socks to donate to the Comea Shelter. Next Wednesday we have a chili, chicken noodle soup, and bingo night …. Just for fun! This is not a fundraiser. Community partners are donating the bingo prizes and the staff is making and donating the food.
