I wonder if we can set up some type of virtual Ambassador meeting where student leaders at each building can log on and exchange ideas with one another (maybe quarterly and facilitated by an adult). The ambassadors are TNMS are titled Student Assistants. See Miss Maria for more details.

NV- Do you do the same monthly themes year to year or do you change them up? Do you take input from families/staff to what they would like to see or is there a group in charge? Is your pto involved?

# data[].attributes.body
I like the family engagement pieces that weave throughout the year

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how we will be incorporating the PAX leaders at the MS.

# data[].attributes.body
I love the family engagement activities.

# data[].attributes.body
I like your "special person" breakfast idea.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the monthly activities to improve family engagement. Food is always a big motivator for parents to come, so the picnic idea sounds awesome! Plus, it gives kids an incentive for positive behavior.

# data[].attributes.body
You all do a great job engaging your families with your school!

Your staff has bought it to the positive changes you are making for student outcomes!

# data[].attributes.body
NV-I like that you specifically identified your the strengths and challenges and have healthy conversations around next steps.

# data[].attributes.body
NV: I like the thoughtful monthly themes to engage families!

# data[].attributes.body
I like that a use of common language and expectations is being worked on.

# data[].attributes.body
Great work on the motivation discussions and implementation of ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
The motivation survey for staff! Identifying ways to foster and build motivation is a needed focus.

# data[].attributes.body
NV - I like the how you have things spread through the year for family/community engagement!

# data[].attributes.body
Nice job view! It sounds like it has been a fun year with lots of family engagement. I love the instant gratification of the view bucks for the children who struggle to come to school daily.

# data[].attributes.body
I like.....

The staff survey and building on what the staff is already doing well

# data[].attributes.body
I Like....

The organization and easy flow to the school year - easy to follow and plan excellent.

# data[].attributes.body
NV-I like that you focus on Family Engagement at BLT and plan out your events for the year.

# data[].attributes.body
WAE- I wonder if you're offering this only to the families who sign up for conferences or is it open to all families that night?

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder...if some families might get upset if we don't have enough conference time slots for their students and they might still want to come to the engagement night

# data[].attributes.body
WAE - I wonder if you are planning to have kiddos of all ages at the engagement activity during conference night.

# data[].attributes.body
WAE-I wonder how the activities/students will be staffed/monitored during Family Engagement Night/Conferences since teachers will be busy leading conferences?

# data[].attributes.body
WAE- I like that you surveyed the parents for the activities offered during conferences.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the idea of always leaning into the positive!

# data[].attributes.body
WAE

I like the Parent Engagement piece. Avenues would love to help as it is one of our PPO's

# data[].attributes.body
(WEA) I wonder.....

how do you get staff to work the family nights, is this paid, is it contract time, etc...

# data[].attributes.body
WAE I like...

The use of the word "prescence". It's a strong, powerful word that I think will make an impact as it's engrained in the minds of your people.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how kids would respond to a Leaderboard in the main hallway to congratulate students for meeting the attendance incentive. Possibly a monthly posting.

# data[].attributes.body
WAE: I wonder if you would consider having student led (or maybe just student attending) conferences in 4th and up?

# data[].attributes.body
(WEA) I like....

the engagement aspect for families.

# data[].attributes.body
WAE - I Like -

That this allows for the parents to express what would be a draw for them to attend conferences.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the friendly competition between grade levels :)

# data[].attributes.body
WAE - I like the focus on the positive attendance percentages of above 90% in all grades.

# data[].attributes.body
Williams:

I wonder, how are you staffing the family engagement during conferences?

# data[].attributes.body
WAE - I like........this is a great initiative to start that can only help!

# data[].attributes.body
WAE: I like that you're having activities for the students to do during conferences.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the idea of the Family Engagement Night!

# data[].attributes.body
Love how you are building community by including more staff and students in the success of the building.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if we could set up a PAX Ambassador day where ambassadors from all 3 elementary schools meet and do activities.

# data[].attributes.body
I love the PAX leadership roles in your building. You have me thinking about crossing guard responsibilities.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the letters to the 3rd grade students for testing! It is nice to feel the power of the positive!

# data[].attributes.body
I like how Sharpsburg has been doing work to build student confidence, feeling of belonging, and social/emotional wellbeing. Giving PAX Ambassadors "duties" every morning and having parents write good luck letters to 3rd graders testing is a great way to build up student confidence.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how meetings go with a large number of people there - just curious

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how you get coverage for getting all grade levels to participate in BLTs

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder...

What are your criteria for your PAX leaders?

# data[].attributes.body
Will your ambassadors train the next crop of kiddos that take over?

# data[].attributes.body
Were all staff members invited to join your BLT or was there a cross section of who was asked to join?

# data[].attributes.body
Your PAX ambassadors are amazing! I love that they hold doors for others and are leaders that younger kiddos can look up to. It's also a job they can aspire to have once they are older.

# data[].attributes.body
How many "ambassadors" do you have? How long do they stay in leadership roles?

# data[].attributes.body
I love that you give ownership to the BLT members about what they would like to see happen this school year.

# data[].attributes.body
I like giving the leaders of the building visible responsibilities

# data[].attributes.body
I love the added PAX responsibilities! How do you organize the crossing guards, door holders, ect with the families (thinking KDGers who can't get themselves to school independently). Do they do it the entire month?

# data[].attributes.body
I love the PAX ambassadors idea. It's a great way for older students to be role models for the younger ones.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how you are utilizing PAX ambassadors.

I wonder, are they only 5th graders? Do they switch out?

# data[].attributes.body
Tina is amazing. She is always organized, innovative, and positive. A great example for the rest of us.

# data[].attributes.body
it is nice there is grade level representation for all grades

# data[].attributes.body
I love the PAX Ambassadors idea :)

# data[].attributes.body
Loved the celebration of your students and giving them more responsibilities that impact the school community
