MiBLSi Program
Long Lake staff would like to follow up with information you received at our September Open House. It is a POINT OF PRIDE that LONG LAKE ELEMENTARY is a MiBLSi SCHOOL!!!
What does MiBLSi mean?
MICHIGAN’S INTEGRATED BEHAVIOR and LEARNING SUPPORT INITIATIVE
What is MiBLSi?
A grant providing support to improve school-wide behavior and reading using a team approach, evidence based practices, progress monitoring, and data-based decision making.
A grant providing support for 3 years. Long Lake Elementary is currently in its 2nd year. The 1st year included training of staff, staff decision making/ planning, and the use of school-wide guidelines, expectations, and acknowledgment of students.
How can you see MiBLSi in action at Long Lake Elementary?
We have identified, defined, and made visible our school-wide behavior expectations with the 5 Guidelines: Trustworthiness, Truthfulness, Active Listening, Personal Best, Kind Words and Actions.
We teach the behavior expectations for the various areas of the school: Arrival, Dismissal, Hallway, Cafeteria, Bathroom, Playground, Assemblies, Office, Classroom so that these are clear to students allowing more time for teaching and learning.
Our goal is to positively acknowledge students 5 times more often than they receive attention for unacceptable behavior. This is accomplished by:
“Caught ya being a Panther!” by giving Panther Pennies to individual students to purchase special items at our Panther Paw store (optional on a weekly basis).
Giving Panther Pennies to classrooms for following Guidelines. For every 10 earned there is a classroom celebration decided upon by the classroom, such as extended recess time.
Each classroom teacher chooses 1 student as "Panther of the Week" who has shown in his/her actions the 5 Guidelines. These students will be announced in the newsletter and on a special school bulletin board in the entryway.
School assemblies will be scheduled throughout the year. The “Panthers of the Week “ will be announced and classrooms are welcome to include student learning and accomplishments. UPCOMING ASSEMBLIES: 10/11 at 3:20 PM and 10/26 at 3:20 PM.
Who is on the MiBLSi Leadership Team?
Chrissy Albin, Suzette Blair, Kathleen Blazejewski, Melissa Morrice, Terri Sheldon, Michelle Thomas, and Jennifer Wohlfert. However, the entire staff is included and important for the success of all MiBLSi initiatives.
The Long Lake Elementary Staff continues their efforts to nurture a positive, safe and supportive school environment so optimal learning can take place for all students.
Please contact Terri Sheldon, Principal, if you would like any additional information or visit the MiBLSi website.
HERE’S to a GREAT 2011-2012 SCHOOL YEAR in OUR NEW SCHOOL!
