OMS PBIS/RtI site

"Many PBS schools experience decreases in referrals relating to tardiness, disrespect and insubordination. Consequently, suspension and expulsion are used less frequently as disciplinary options.
PBS involves a change of focus from reaction —constantly pointing out what students do wrong—to proactive teaching and recognizing what children are doing right. It establishes positive relationships between teachers and students, and promotes a positive school climate.
“Why spend ninety-five percent of the time focusing on five percent of the students?” asked Stephanie Martinez. “The PBS model shifts attention away from inappropriate behavior and recognizes the eighty-to-eighty-five percent of students acting appropriately." (source)

Online Behavior Intervention Form (bottom of this page)
Use this form to document a situation/incident with a student, to refer a student to the office or issue a detention. it can also be used for OTHER reasons, just indicate it on the OTHER category.
If you refer a student for detention or office referral you need to fill out the time/date, parent, and summary of call before you bring it to the office for Kerri to deal with.

OMS Literacy Moodle
Melissa Mader has created a Moodle site (let me know if you need help with this) that includes many Literacy resources for the staff. Last year, we focused on creating word walls to teach content area vocabulary. They are an effective tool to keep vocabulary present in the students' minds as they learn new concepts.
Feel free to peruse the site and let me know if you would like assistance in setting up a word wall in your classroom. I'm also more than willing to come in and model these lessons or the five strategies from the yellow literacy folder.
Thank you and I hope you're enjoying your first few weeks at OMS.
Melissa

Video for Instructional Use Request/Log
In accordance with Board of Education policy 351 a log is to be held for all videos used for instructional use. For OMS PG-13 and R rated movies send notification home of video use to parents and have an alternative curriculum available for the video if the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the student opt them out. For PG-13 or R rated movies please give enough lead time to receive approval via email from administration. This is a similar procedure to the one used at OHS.
