Many of you may have heard that our PE teacher, Mr. Will Hogan, was on the field at halftime during the Bears game on Sunday, December 4, with some lucky Ridge students. They carried a flag for the "Fuel Up- Play 60" program, representing many schools, teachers, and students throughout Illinois. Mr. Hogan thanks all of you who supported him with your votes. Congratulations, Mr. Hogan! You made us proud! Parent LinksELL Program Registration, Forms & Skyward Family Access PaySchools Information Staff Only |

As you can see by our SWIS data (School Wide Information System), disrespectful behavior has produced 34% of referrals since the beginning of the school year. In order to support students in exhibiting respectful behavior our PBIS Team (Positive Behavior Intervention and Support) has developed Respectful Behavior Norms. The following are the norms that are being taught and rewarded.
1. Keep hands, feet and objects to yourself. 2. Use appropriate words, tone and volume. 3. Work without bothering others. 4. Listen with your whole body. 5. Talk at the appropriate time to your peers and the teacher. 6. Use materials and space correctly.
We need your help in expecting respectful behavior at school by continuing to encourage respectful behavior at home. Attached is a great website that explains aspects of respectful behavior as well as strategies you can use at home to foster desired behavior.
