Principal's Newsletter

Next week is Parent Involvement Week, and we couldn’t let the week go by without celebrating the people who support our students every day: you, our families!

We have several activities planned throughout the week, so please keep an eye on the school calendar, flyers, and invitations for opportunities to join in. We hope you’ll participate when you can and know that your involvement, whether big or small, makes a difference.

Be sure to look for a little thank-you from us during Tuesday morning drop-off. We appreciate the trust you place in us each day and the many ways you support Briscoe.

We also want to thank you for your partnership in reducing early morning drop-offs. We have seen such a positive improvement in morning arrival and student safety, and we truly appreciate your help.

Reminder: Friday, November 20, is a Teacher Workday and Student Holiday.

Thank you for being such an important part of our Briscoe family. We appreciate you!

Positive Behavior and Supports (PBIS)

This year, Briscoe Junior High is strengthening our commitment to Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), a proactive approach that teaches, recognizes, and reinforces positive student behavior. At the center of our PBIS efforts is the Briscoe Way, which outlines the expectations and values we want all students to demonstrate each day.

To support this initiative, we will be using the Minga app to recognize and reward students who consistently demonstrate the Briscoe Way. Staff members will be able to award points to students for positive behaviors, and students can redeem those points for items and incentives in our school store. Students are able to access the APP through Classlink.

We invite families to support this effort by donating items to our school store.

In addition, Minga will help us implement a Digital Hall Pass system. Students will use digital hallway passes whenever they leave the classroom. This tool will allow us to monitor student movement throughout the school, improve campus safety, and reduce lost instructional time by ensuring students are in class and learning as much as possible.

 

Our PBIS store is a HUGE success!


Our students have loved shopping at the PBIS Store, and our shelves are already running low! 
We’re asking for your support to help restock the store and keep the positive rewards going. Every donation, big or small, helps us celebrate our students hard work and positive choices.
Thank you for supporting our students and our school!
