Black History Wax Museum

The information for grade level participation in our Black History Wax Museum was sent out by Ms. Schofield last week.  Please make sure that you read the information and assign students their research project topic.  

Gum

We need your help as we have noticed an increase students chewing gum.  This is not allowed at Laurus.  Please be diligent and do not let your students chew gum.  

Student Behavior Protocol

Before sending students to the Dean's Office for student misbehaviors, it is important that you follow the Student Behavior Protocol which Ms.Hardrick sent out when we returned from Christmas Break.  There has been an increase in the number of students being sent to the Dean without first involving the ABSS.  Also, unless a student is at a level 5 Behavior, their behavior needs to be addressed by the classroom teacher.

Just a reminder, you should be utilizing your grade level buddy rooms for behavioral support.

ELA C&I Visit

We have been assigned a new ELA C&I consultant, Shannon Mueller as Akia Carter will be supporting Dr. Carey's schools.  She will be visiting our school on Monday, February 5th.
