New Information

First Week is DONE
Congratulations on a very successful 1st week of school! You all are training, modeling, and teaching the students your expectations for the school year and it shows. Also I'm loving the Social Media pictures of you with your students this last week. Great job sharing our story with the RCISD community and the whole world. Remember to use the #ScottShines hashtag whenever you share your stories.


Procedures & Routines 

Because it's the second week of school, please continue to teach/train your student the expectations for your ALL common areas and your classroom (Hallways, Lunchroom, Recess). Be sure you're actively monitoring students at recess times. And remember that PAWS Tickets are for students that are doing all the procedures and expectations in our common areas. 

Capturing Kids Hearts Update
I notice 100% of staff members greeting students as they entered the classroom during this last week... excellent work! Remember to post your "Do Now" in your classroom as students walk into the classroom. 

Also, don't forget this is the week to create your Social Contracts (if you haven't done it already) and be sure to post them in your classroom somewhere that you would refer to it often and students will see it (I would suggest at the front of the classroom).
