The kindergartners had an assembly with Pine Glen's guidance counselor Mrs. Tilton. She introduced the kindergartners to Pine Glen's Hoot Card System. She explained to the students and encouraged them to:
“Make WISE Choices”
Work to be APPROPRIATE
Important to be SAFE
Strive to be KIND
Everyone Matters!
Teachers are like OWLS:
Observant
Wise
Listening
Hoot cards can be given out by any staff in common areas (hallways, cafeteria etc.) to any student. Hoot cards should be placed in the buckets outside the conference room. On Thursday afternoon, a student will be randomly chosen from each grade to be the Hoot of the Week. The students chosen will be announced on Friday morning over the loudspeaker, they will be called down, receive a pencil and a picture.
At Pine Glen Elementary School everyone matters. Friday morning every student at Pine Glen Elementary School arrived and saw a note above their cubby from their teacher. The teacher's note to each student communicated why they were special and unique. We shared these special notes of affirmation Friday afternoon. The students were pleased to be recognized for their efforts in kindergarten. We are so proud of our kindergartners!
