Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Description:
The fall staff development schedule has been completed and distributed to staff members (attached). Thanks to Todd Toulouse with input from the staff development team for developing the schedule.
The focus of the upcoming school year is PBIS. Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports is an evidence-based, tiered framework for supporting students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health. When implemented with fidelity, PBIS improves social emotional competence, academic success, and school climate.
We are also highlighting inclusion as we plan for the new school year. The District Inclusion Plan is attached. The district’s mission remains the same: Developing responsible, lifelong learners who are ready to succeed in a changing world. Repairs to the parking lot have been completed. Robin Courrier has been selected as the interim principal for the upcoming school year. Her 7 years of administrative experience includes 4 years as the principal of Bridges Elementary School in Mankato. She was an elementary school teacher for 22 years. Robin also has experience with PBIS, has supervised student teachers for MSU and Gustavus, and has served on national education committees. She will begin her duties on August 15th. We will conduct a search for a long-term principal this spring. |
