Nichols Bring Story Book Characters to Life
Nichols hosted a reading day/pajama jam where students dressed in their favorite pajama’s and were read to. Staff members dressed as the characters in the stories, so that they could bring the stories to life for the students and show them that reading is both fun and important. Every story featured themes about respect, responsibility and safety, which are the schools core values. Students also received snacks and gifts with each story that was read. #LetsRead #StudentsRise
The books read to students:
- The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka
- Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse by Kevin Henkes\
- If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff
- The Worst Day of My Life Ever by Julia Cook
- Be Aware: My Tips for Personal Safety by Gina Bellisario
Clippert's PBIS System is Taking Flight!
Clippert Academy started a new Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support (PBIS) system called Eagle Feathers. The program shows students the benefits of their good behavior in a tangible way. Students earn eagle feathers for attendance, following classroom expectations and working hard on their lessons. Every Friday the Eagle Market stand is opened in the lunchroom where students exchange eagle feathers for prizes. Students can choose from candy treats, fun toys and art supplies.
DPSCD would like to recognize Clippert Academy for keeping Students First, which according to the Blueprint 2020 states, “Make decisions that are in the best interest of students. Use every resource strategically so that we can meet students’ individual needs.”
