Ankeny School News for Week of Sept. 7

Submitted by Ankeny Schools

Northeast Elementary

The second graders at Northeast Elementary have been working on a new building wide behavior system (PBIS). Each student is able to earn a ticket for positive behavior that teachers use to acknowledge the school wide expectations of we are safe, responsible, respectful, and a team. In addition students can work together as a team in their classrooms and are acknowledged by earning a fun day.  Pictured is Mrs. Knudsen's class earning a pajama day!  

Pictured are the Northeast Elementary Jaguars of the Week. Each week every classroom teacher gets to nominate a Jaguar of the Week from their class. The teachers are always on the lookout for students that are doing a great job of being respectful, responsible, safe and a great member of their classroom team.

Northeast Elementary pictures will be taken on Thursday, September 20^th.

Northwest kindergarten students are off to a great start this year. All of our kids are into a great routine and we are so excited to be using PBIS at our school. The kids are earning so many individual and class tickets for being Respectful, Responsible, and Safe.
