Rafer Johnson Jr. High School Newsletter - November 2015

     Celebrating PBIS and student behavior!

We want to catch students meeting PRIDE expectations!!

Why? RAP Citation is a positive behavior recognition to encourage students to consistently demonstrate PRIDE.
  
Who? All staff (teachers, office, cafeteria, yard duty, etc.) should be awarding students who show PRIDE with RAP Citations. 5-10 per week min.
  
How? Each staff member is given a stack of sticky note RAP Citations. Staff members are to write their own name on the bottom of the note. When they see a student displaying PRIDE, they can give them a citation and tell them to write their name on it and turn it into the office.  We will have once-a-month drawings where students AND REFERRING STAFF MEMBERS will win prizes for PRIDE!

Rafer Johnson Red Ribbon Week

We had Grant Thiessen come talk to Rafer Olympians regarding making choices that impact their lives.  He spoke to students on 4 of the 5 days of Red Ribbon week.  He told us his story.  He then taught us about influences and conditional and unconditional love.  Students then identified hurts in their lives.  They learned about forgiveness.  They learned that when you forgive someone you really free yourself from the hurt. We then made promises for our futures.  It was a great week!
