January’s Attribute: Open-minded
An OPEN MINDED student knows that all people are different. They listen to the points of view of others and consider many possibilities before making a decision. They celebrate the differences in everyone.
How can families help at home?
Expose your child to different festivals, celebrations and traditions.
Encourage your child to value others’ opinions.
Teach them about your family culture.
Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS)
January’s Focus: Be Safe
We are proud to be a PBIS school. What does this mean?
This means we use an evidence-based three-tiered framework to meet the needs of all of our students through teaching behavior expectations and Tier 1/Universal (think: ALL students) systems here at Sargeant. It means we take a proactive approach to delivering regular, proactive support and preventing unwanted behaviors. We emphasize appropriate (prosocial) social skills and expectations by teaching and acknowledging appropriate student behavior.
When students require more support, we have more intensive tiers (Tiers 2 and 3).
PBIS means we have 4 simple rules at Sargeant. See if your child can name them. They are:
Be Safe
Be Responsible
Be Respectful
Be Kind
You may be asking yourself: “How does this integrate into what we do as IB Learners?” Our PBIS rules work in tangent with our IB Learner Attributes. This month we will work on helping students return to behaving in a safe manner while at school. This means that safety is emphasized in all areas of our school: playground, walkways, lunchroom, classrooms, bathrooms, library, etc. As IB learners, we are always looking at ways our behavior positively or negatively impacts others. This is also true for our PBIS practices. We ensure that students are aware of their actions on others and our school, as a community. Please talk with your child about being open-minded and safe this month.
