I am so excited about our caring heart challenge. As we reach the goal of 1000 hearts Mrs. Pickering is preparing to dive in!!! Stop by and look at the picture of her in the cafeteria climbing the diving board ladder. Look forward to student prizes awarded during our caring drawings.
Our PAWS antibullying program continues to be a success. Caring bystanders are learning how to appropriately help victims and report bullying. Check out the new website I added to this site for information about cyberbullying.
We appreciate the ETSU nursing students presenting a lesson to our 3rd graders about living healthy lifestyles. Also we thank our STEM grade felllows for continuing to bring fun and interesting lessons to guidance classes.
You are welcome to come and meet our counseling student teacher, Jill Scott who will join us after spring break. We are so happy to have her with us as she
works with students and teaches guidance lessons.
HAVE A SAFE AND RESTFUL SPRING BREAK!!!!

Guidance Classroom Management Plan:
1. Guiding: Redirection via verbal directions
2. Modeling: Situational redirection of student by placing them on the "smiley rug" for a minimal time period
3. Teacher Consequence: Location redirection by using a "Buddy Room" (Mrs. Gowen's entry area)
4. Parent/Teacher Consequence: Call home for parent involvement with the inappropriate behavior.
5. Principal Consequence: Extreme situation when student is referred to the front office or principals, Mrs. Pickering or Mrs. Neas, due to violent, threatening, or highly insubordinate behavior or if previous steps have been unsuccessful.
Again, please contact me at any time if you have questions about the guidance curriculum or if you need school counseling assistance.
