More Ways 2
Show Kids You Care
Use SOCIAL engagement with your FIRE
students every day to increase positive interaction. Choose one or two new items below to use this
week with each FIRE student. Personally,
I like #32 and #35 – use those phone numbers and any note cards can go through
the front office for addressing and postage.
- Share their excitement.
- Send them a letter or a
postcard.
- Follow them when they
lead.
- Notice when they’re
absent.
- Call them to say
“hello”.
- Hide surprises for them
to find.
- Give them space when
they need it.
- Contribute to their
collections.
- Discuss their dreams and
nightmares.
- Laugh at their jokes.

D104 at the START of FIRE on Fridays (or, at the latest, the first
day of FIRE each week) to pick up your newsletters and any support materials

FIRE Crew are to walk their groups to the Black Box at the

Grade 9 Students
– Checking grades in EDA
Freshmen are checking grades each day when they report to
Mrs. Carr or Ms. Pelfrey for their Education in the Digital Age class. They should know which classes they need to
work on or to which teachers they should travel during the week at FIRE
time. Please verify that weekly goals
are set and plans made for effective use of FIRE time.
