January 5, 2008: I was wondering when you all think would be a good idea to post the school wide PawRiffic chart. Amanda put all the classes on the chart for me so it would look nice. Thanks! Do we want to start it for 3rd quarter? What do we do with classes that are already part of the way toward a party? Should we just go on an honor policy and ask the homeroom teachers to find out from their kids how many parties the class has earned so far?

ES- Maybe just go on the honor policy and ask the homeroom teachers. I don't think their needs to be a specific prize at the end of the year anyway. We could possibly make up a special certificate for a class or just make a special announcement on the WRBES. BJ- Ask the kids. They'll be able to tell you.

Schedule of remaining Meetings: Location - Eric's room at 8:20 unless posted otherwise
