Monday at the end of the day we had fight among girls in an advanced physical education class. The fight happened when the girls were transitioning between the gym and the locker room. The teacher is a coach and left early for a tennis match. A male substitute teacher was in the gym but could not go to the girl’s locker room, which is where the fight happened.

If a student skips a session, they have a day of ISS. It takes hours of time to deal with and I fundamentally disagree with student missing an instructional day for missing a thirty-minute study session. Tuesday in a faculty meeting, I asked for suggestions to change the process for dealing with a skipped session. The staff shared some ideas on the referral process, we implemented them immediately but it did not address the day of ISS. I have researched other models of SMART lunch and I think positive reinforcement approach may have better results. Most of our students are not mature enough for grades to be an intrinsic motivation. I am going to share some suggestions, such as SMART lunch extra credit and get feedback from the teachers. In addition, making parents a part of the dialogue, communicating to them the importance of the study session will increase attendance. Every day of instruction loss means a student gets behind, some of them may not recover. Our school improvement plan focuses on improving testing data in all areas but sending students that already have a low grade in class seems to be in contradiction. I understand why ISS placement is part of the SMART lunch, holding students accountable is important. I think focusing on the positive, rewarding the students that do attend, informing parents, and shifting the focus will help keep students in class and our
