Happy New Year Parents – The MM PBIS Team Needs Your Support!!
The Meads Mill PBIS Team is looking for more parent support to help plan our quarterly celebrations this year! At the end of every academic quarter ALL students have the opportunity to attend our celebrations, if they choose. Celebrations in the past have included a “drive-in movie”, holiday dance with DJ, open gym, rotation of activities in classrooms, and our block party (on the last day of school). This year students will be required to “buy-in” to the celebrations using Patriot Pride tickets that they earn during the school day for meeting our PBIS expectations. We are very excited to have the opportunity to celebrate our students, and the great things they are doing every day! If you are interested in helping plan our celebrations, be it in a big or small way, please contact Ms. Soukup (
[email protected]) or Ms. Debien (
[email protected]). If you aren’t able to help plan celebrations, but would like to be a parent helper the day of the celebration, please click on this link http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c4fa9ad2ca7ff2-pbis1.
