PBIS puts emphasis on school-wide proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create positive school and classroom environments.

Introducing, modeling, and reinforcing positive social behavior is an important step of a student's educational experience.

Teaching behavioral expectations and rewarding students for following them is a much more positive approach than waiting for misbehavior to occur before responding.

The purpose of school-wide PBIS is to establish a climate in which appropriate behavior is the norm.

 

PBIS

Be respectful.Be ready.

Be responsible.  

Yellow House will continue to pursue the district’s goal of helping all students achieve their target learning goals.

Throughout each unit of study, learning targets will be emphasized.

Grading Policy

At the end of each unit, students will complete summative assessments that evaluate the knowledge and skills they gained from the unit.

Grading Policy

While traditional homework and quizzes may not be graded, they will be recorded and monitored in Infinite Campus (with a weight of 0%) so that students and parents can track learning.

Grading Policy

It is imperative to recognize that, while the majority of work completed in and for class is not graded, un-graded work does not signify unimportance.

Grading Policy

Every assignment and assessment relates directly to the learning targets students are expected to master.

Grading Policy

Completing homework/classwork etc. enables the students to be better prepared for the final summative assessment.

A student who does not complete homework/classwork will find it difficult to master the required learning targets.

Grading Policy

Grade reports will be sent home about every two weeks.

Grade sheets will be distributed to students on Mondays.

Bi Weekly Reports

Students return the folder to their LA BLOCK teacher.

Parents keep the grade sheets to keep track of their son’s/daughter’s progress.

Bi Weekly Reports

Parents sign the form inside the folder.

Parents are encouraged to use the Parent Portal of Infinite Campus to access all current grades to monitor your son’s/daughter’s academic progress.

Students of the Month

Achieve is a non-fiction reading program that allows you to gain a wealth of knowledge while working on your reading strategies.

Block on how to access their accounts. The website for the program is www.teenbiz3000.com, but it is easiest to access the program from the GMS website.

Achieve 3000

In order to help improve our reading levels this year, we will be doing two types of independent reading:

D.E.A.R. and at-home reading logs 

D.E.A.R. is an acronym for “Drop Everything and Read.”

To help achieve this goal, we will read almost every day for about 10

minutes in our LA Block class. You must bring a D.E.A.R. book (chapter book) with you to every

class. The book you choose is completely

up to YOU!

At-Home Reading Logs:

Each Friday, you will receive an at-home reading log.

Your job is to read for at least 20 minutes at

least 4 times a week.

The more reading you do, the better! Any type of reading is encouraged.

You are required to have a parent or guardian sign your reading log each night. These logs are due every Friday.  

Reading At-Home Weekly Log Students: Your job is to read for at

least 20 minutes per night and respond to the prompts below.

Parents: Please verify that your son/daughter has read for at least 20 minutes by signing in the appropriate boxes below each day.
