This blog is just for you, the parents of Gibson Elementary to learn more about what goes on at our school, teaching strategies used in your child's classroom and other items of interest to you. You may also leave comments and ask questions. I will post the blog weekly. I hope to post each Wednesday to match our "packet" day.
There will be regular topics discussed an links to other places. Feel free to view with your child as well. I will still maintain a webpage at wsfcs homepage.
PBS corner-you have no doubt (we hope) heard a lot about den dollars, shopping days, raffles and PBS. That's how we like it. As you know, our school started a new program for behavior and expectations. We have already seen a drastic improvement with student behavior and a significant decrease in office referrals. Go to www.pbis.org/
to learn more about this national program. In the coming weeks, we will provide more information about GIBSON PRIDE (our core values) and post to my website well.
