  6. The Haine Middle School theme supports a growth mindset. • We welcome everyone to participate in challenging tasks. • We will practice resiliency and perseverance. • We will learn from our failures. • We understand that “struggle” is an important part of learning. • We will praise effort, perseverance, and the processes that we use to learn. • Mindsets in the Classroom, Mary Cay Ricci

  8. School Expectations Provides students, staff, and families with common understanding of behavioral expectations within our school community. Student will work for recognition and rewards throughout the school year.

  9. OLWEUS and Mindful Moments will work hand-in-hand to support students in making positive choices. Goals of OLWEUS: • Address and reduce existing bullying at Haine Middle • Prevent the development future poor choices related to bullying. • Achieve positive peer relationships at Haine Middle. Haine Middle students and staff will meet at least one time a week to teach/discuss strategies for addressing bullying and other difficult peer situations. OLWEUS (Anti-Bullying Program)

  10. How can parents support OLWEUS and our Mindful Moments plan? • Parents can help us by providing a consistent message about bullying prevention and making positive choices at school. • Parents can help by encouraging and empowering students to speak up for themselves and report situation to adults. • Parents can help by collaboratively brainstorm solutions to problem situations (that align with HMS and district rules) that students discuss with them and model appropriate responses.

  11. Who should I contact with a bullying or behavioral concern? • Parents should first contact the classroom teacher who will address the concern. • Additionally, support can be provided by the School Counselor, Mrs. Shipe as well as Mrs. Doggrell or Mrs. Lizewski. • There is also a district tip line (Sprigeo) for parents to report concerns after school hours or on weekends. The Sprigeo link can be found on the district website www.svsd.net.

  12. During the 2017-2018 school year each student at Haine Middle School will be assigned a 2-in-1 tablet for educational usage. An insurance will be offered to families who would like the ability to have their student take their device home for use. The purpose of the insurance is to replace any damage to the device from normal wear and tear. Technology at Haine Middle

  13. BYOT- Bring Your Own Technology • With the new addition of the tablets for students, there will be a decreased usage for student’s personal devices in the classroom. • BYOT usage in the classroom will be under the direction and discretion of each individual classroom teacher. • For accountability, students must register their personal technology devices at http://byot.svsd.net before connecting to the school’s wireless system.

  14. Creativity, Innovaton, and Research Center • Our Technology and Library classes have combined to provide students with a unique experience within our Creativity, Innovation, and Research Center (CIRC). • Students will still be given access to book check out and other traditional library resources as they align to their curricular learning tasks.
