I know we have to follow district dress code, but it states no head coverings unless for religious purposes. Even though it doesn't specifically say "hoods" these are a type of head covering. When students wear hoods, it is very difficult to recognize students when their back is turned to you. It is a safety issue. They hide their ear buds then they can't hear instruction. Just a thought.

# data[].attributes.body
School-wide consequence systems for things like tardies, destruction of school materials, very distracting behaviors... The many multi-grade teachers this year couldn't use lunch detentions (except for the 7th grade team, which had a great system), unless we happened to be available during that grade's lunch.

# data[].attributes.body
Updates on discipline - like a status update for referrals or larger situations. Something like "restorative conducted", "handled - Dean", "in progress", "awaiting district resources" so we can be updated on what is happening especially for situations where we can't necessarily know the details

# data[].attributes.body
more reliable in-building substitutes

# data[].attributes.body
regular check-ins/updates about all the things (behaviors, building culture, instruction)... seriously, all the things

# data[].attributes.body
small committees like MTSS, celebrations team, racial equity, etc

# data[].attributes.body
lack of communication on building stuff happening outside of our grade level/hallway

# data[].attributes.body
lack of communication when students are written up

# data[].attributes.body
Be wary of making promises that cannot be kept. I was promised additional support/adult presence in my room multiple times and never received it. I understand staff shortedness, but wish the promise had not been made if there couldn't be guaranteed follow through

# data[].attributes.body
more communication about things happening in/around the building (not sports only)

# data[].attributes.body
Always felt welcomed and supported

# data[].attributes.body
HUB is awesome

# data[].attributes.body
Positive environment

# data[].attributes.body
Warm greeting and hellos everyday

# data[].attributes.body
Leaving by 4:30 each day; keeping up on grading and planning so not feeling swamped or behind and taking work home

# data[].attributes.body
Appreciate having to be with a great team in the building

# data[].attributes.body
new furniture/carpets/general classroom renovations

# data[].attributes.body
liked my team and felt supported

# data[].attributes.body
being able to leave at 4:10

# data[].attributes.body
In addition to student breaks for behavior, breaks for positives - ex: student completed a required assignment and wants to show it off

# data[].attributes.body
Probably not practical, but a BAF designated for each grade level

# data[].attributes.body
more support needed with behaviors

# data[].attributes.body
more availability slots for speaking to counselor, social worker, dean

# data[].attributes.body
Clearer expectations for HOT passes for students AND adults with a quiet space for them to go to

# data[].attributes.body
Actual SEL - topics that are about real life things

# data[].attributes.body
Soto - less scheduling, more student chats

# data[].attributes.body
More teacher involvement in student discipline/consequences

# data[].attributes.body
More SEL or groups pulled

# data[].attributes.body
Following through more on behaviors/consequences (teachers and admin)

# data[].attributes.body
Better break/regulation time for students - they need a calm environment for those resets and chaotic 140 doesn't help

# data[].attributes.body
What are behavior support expectations? ISS, breaks, etc... sometimes 140 looks crazy, kids are just hanging out, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Need a better HOT pass system - too many students used as an excuse to get out of class, need to teach students when to use and structured activities used to chill out when students are on their break

# data[].attributes.body
MTSS has not been highly useful, especially for academic concerns. Who is available to do interventions?

# data[].attributes.body
How to get help with/for students when lunches are happening

# data[].attributes.body
Quick response to help students (outside of 3rd period)

# data[].attributes.body
Easy to get ahold of Stiner and Soto for student supports

# data[].attributes.body
MTSS supports have worked well the majority of the time. Having MTSS monthly has made the process much smoother.

# data[].attributes.body
Many relationships were formed with adults and students

# data[].attributes.body
Students having a SPED resource room that supports general/whole student well being

# data[].attributes.body
commitment to enforcing behavior contracts has been so helpful

# data[].attributes.body
Students know some basic needs can be met at school (ex: hygiene backpack)

# data[].attributes.body
more supports were put in place as the school year went on

# data[].attributes.body
Dean & Whitfield/Ashanti

# data[].attributes.body
students felt supported by BAFs

# data[].attributes.body
More communication and support to be on the same page from SPED and ENL supports

# data[].attributes.body
more resources and hands on materials for special students

# data[].attributes.body
need more textbooks and fewer workbooks

# data[].attributes.body
ELA pacing guide - appreciate the flexibility, but not the vagueness

# data[].attributes.body
time for subject area meetings

# data[].attributes.body
plans for services/special education minutes in 90 minute block

# data[].attributes.body
Planning to be more tuned in, more organized, and more fluid after a year of actual experience in middle school

# data[].attributes.body
Holding support staff (SPED, ENL) accountable to expectations in the classrooms

# data[].attributes.body
pacing of math and how much to push the depth of IM

# data[].attributes.body
Great support and help from Katie in building strong lessons

# data[].attributes.body
increased confidence in implementing IM in my classroom (Harshman visit was VERY helpful)

# data[].attributes.body
Navigating curriculum and doing it well

# data[].attributes.body
appreciate the SPED team

# data[].attributes.body
New labs - amazing spaces!

# data[].attributes.body
like my curriculum

# data[].attributes.body
SIOP training

# data[].attributes.body
Meetings with Thyen

# data[].attributes.body
teachers on the same page for grade level or subject norms

# data[].attributes.body
students were more engaged in classwork, especially for rewards

# data[].attributes.body
resources from Ammari

# data[].attributes.body
Dean's list (motivational)

# data[].attributes.body
now that rooms are (mostly) done we can make rooms more welcoming for next year

# data[].attributes.body
admin presence in hallways during class time --> minimize kids out of class hanging out, adults available quickly when behaviors/concerns arise

# data[].attributes.body
"town hall" meetings & "we don't do that here" talks with students

# data[].attributes.body
radio/walkie for each team lead

# data[].attributes.body
COWs in classrooms for tech wrap up

# data[].attributes.body
breakfast timing so kids who arrive late can get hot food

# data[].attributes.body
breakfast - more organized, in the cafeteria (food all over the building)

# data[].attributes.body
interruptions (to classes? unclear from the notecard)

# data[].attributes.body
block schedule changes for next year

# data[].attributes.body
good handling and shifting of schedules and events when issues came up

# data[].attributes.body
building feels consistent and (mostly) in control

# data[].attributes.body
school wide no-go bathroom/hallway list

# data[].attributes.body
lunch being divided between cafeteria & gym

# data[].attributes.body
transitions became smoother throughout the year

# data[].attributes.body
If it's possible, keep kids in cafeteria to finish eating breakfast before dismissing to class.

# data[].attributes.body
Set dress code at the start of the year and adhere to it, need better hallway rules. Students are in the halls all day. Phones need to be locked away in boxes on a cart and stored in a secure room until the end of the day (this was done in past years and worked well). Need a way to track students asking for the bathroom pass because many are getting a pass from every period. Also, making sure teachers are following only one student with the pass at a time.

# data[].attributes.body
Running in the halls has been a huge issue that students disregard and ignore. It leads to a very chaotic transition time.

# data[].attributes.body
Robotics team!

# data[].attributes.body
Better communication between grade level teams and related arts teachers... please!

# data[].attributes.body
Day and Soto are so responsive and they really know our kids! Thanks!

# data[].attributes.body
This is a pipe dream, but I would love for the library to be an enclosed space.

# data[].attributes.body
Tech time dismissal is crazy! Need someone stationed in each hallway or need different structure. Maybe can't get phones until mode of transportation is called?

# data[].attributes.body
Advisory time including team building activities in addition to successbound and other interventions. Maybe some pull out intervention time incorporated into this time. IT NEEDS TO BE UNIFORM IN THE BUILDING!

# data[].attributes.body
More time to co-plan and brainstorm with content areas

# data[].attributes.body
ELA starting off the year with 3 dedicated journal/notebook spaces, as Wit & Wisdom expects

# data[].attributes.body
Being stricter on headphones/airpods will be very helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
Providing a weekly update about the happenings in our building/grade level with instruction, escalation of student consequences, extras, fun things, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Potentially starting a social committee to organize staff outings, breakfasts, or celebrations

# data[].attributes.body
Continuing with what worked this year and growing further!

# data[].attributes.body
A way to track the level 1 and 2 referrals so they trigger something to correct behavior before a level 3 occurs.

# data[].attributes.body
Cameras in every stairwell!

# data[].attributes.body
Having more adults in the hallway during every passing to avoid altercations

# data[].attributes.body
Our USS group rocked! Under staffed yet did it all!

# data[].attributes.body
Would like hot pass students to have a calm and regulating environment to use their pass in. A separate space from 140, to allow for hot pass students to reset.

# data[].attributes.body
We have a safe community within this building where people take care of each other and share ideas!
