Mrs. Gandy's student voted

Bacon Bears,

After a long and busy Halloween week filled with excitement and activities, it was nice to have a three-day week! Those three days certainly flew by, especially as we all adjusted to the time change.

We hope everyone enjoys the four-day weekend and has an opportunity to relax, recharge, and spend some quality time with family and friends. It is a well-deserved break!

Looking ahead, next week is our only full week of school in November! With the holidays quickly approaching, the rest of the month will be here and gone before we know it. Let's make the most of our time together, keep our students engaged, and continue building on the great things happening throughout Bacon School.

Thank you for your continued hard work, flexibility, and dedication to our students and school community. Enjoy the long weekend, and we look forward to seeing everyone back next week!

RTI Update – First 6-Week Cycle Complete

Our RTI team has completed its first six-week intervention cycle! On Monday, RTI staff will not be pulling student groups as they take time to review student progress, analyze data, make adjustments to groups as needed, and establish new goals for the next intervention cycle.

As part of this process, the team will identify students who have made sufficient progress to be released from intervention services, as well as students who may need additional support or consideration at this month's I&RS meeting for a possible CST evaluation.

The RTI team will be available in their room throughout the day on Monday and welcomes teachers to stop by during their prep or lunch to discuss individual students, progress, or concerns.

Thank you to our RTI team and classroom teachers for their continued collaboration and commitment to helping our students succeed!

Character Strong Comes to Life in the Classroom!

Mrs. Somers shared a creative activity that combined literacy, creativity, and social-emotional learning! After reading It’s Pumpkin Day, Mouse!, students designed their own jack-o'-lantern faces to represent emotions within the four emotional quadrants of Character Strong.

What a fun and meaningful way to help students recognize, understand, and express different emotions while connecting classroom learning to our Character Strong initiative!

Thank you, Mrs. Somers, for sharing this great example of SEL in action!

Great job to these teachers and their students for making attendance a priority!

As we continue our schoolwide focus on reducing chronic absenteeism, every day matters! Thank you to our staff for encouraging students to be in school, building positive relationships with families, and reinforcing the importance of showing up ready to learn.
