•PBIS Student Report Focus Group Update-Last May, parents were invited to attend a PBIS Student Report Focus Group meeting to learn more about our reporting system and give advice for improving the process. One suggestion was to better inform the parents about the Student Report Form and its purpose. This week, Mrs. Arnold, our school counselor, has been reading the book The Juice Box Bully to the students and reviewing the report form and problem solving process. Information was sent home for you to review with your child. Contact Mrs. Arnold at 314-983-5546 or harnold@ladueschools.net with any questions, concerns, or celebrations.
•OB's Got Character!- September's Character Word of the Month at OB is RESPECT. Teachers will be talking about what respect looks like among students and staff in our school, and in our community. Consider talking about what respect looks like in your family at home. Need some talking points? Check out the websites below with your children:
