Smith+Middle+School

Things we would like to do for 2nd nine weeks:
 * Mr. T and Ms. Allen meet with each group of teachers without the PBS team. Allow them to comment on what has happened, what they want to happen, and include their two sense. This will hopefully increase teacher buy-in.
 * Include some "nay sayers" in our PBS team (2). Need someone from 7th grade...who will decide on who will join? **Skot, Lisa, Laura McPherson,**
 * ***get a copy of the Smith Break Room form***
 * Incorporate the PBS bucks. Teachers need to tie the bucks to the matrix expectations. Use vocabulary when giving the bucks.
 * This is how bucks work at BSMS--create sheet
 * School store issues...use for PBS tickets.
 * Create a PBS financial account.
 * Stop piling on at staff meetings. If it is a curriculum meeting, it's all about curriculum.
 * Need to have follow up and follow through with the initiative.
 * Sign in sheet at faculty meetings.
 * additional meeting---either in the morning or at each planning??
 * Order cardstock and create Butner-Bucks
 * Morning announcements...a teacher or administrator needs to take the leadership role in making the annoucements. Doing the announcements isn't a reward to all students.

· ALL staff members are required to give out Butner Bucks. · Butner Bucks are based on Falcons who SOAR by meeting the expectations of the Matrix · Substitutes do not get to give out bucks. · Teachers will use vocabulary from the Matrix when giving out the bucks. For example, “Thank you for being responsible for turning in your homework”, “Thank you for keeping our school safe for walking on the right side of the hall”, “Good job having an open mind and working with other students.” · Once bucks are given you can’t take them away. · Teachers must identify their bucks by using their initials. · When received students should put their names on their bucks in pen. · Bucks can be spent at the school store or entered into the Wednesday weekly drawing. Tuesday is the last day to enter into the weekly drawing. · Students are responsible for keeping track of their bucks. · Students are not allowed to ask for bucks. · Mrs. Gray is the Butner Bucks Mint.
 * This is how Butner-Bucks work**

TO DO before we start: - Meet with each team to get feedback. - Post feedback to the wiki - Follow Up Session(s)

Other Thoughts: - Work on Announcements (Matt and Meg will take this on) - PBS Newsletter---should we do a newsletter for the staff and another for the parents to inform them of what we are doing at BSMS? Maybe we would be able to get donations and help if we did this? or if Mary, as the communication person, did this :). I think the parent communication should be a part of our regular parent newsletter, not a separate one. I want all schoolwide communication to be unified.

Possible Teacher Incentives:
 * Jeans day
 * duty free lunch
 * off campus pass
 * goodie bag...candy, snacks, gift cards
