Bridge Program Updates:

Students have been working hard to earn their behavior bucks! We are focusing on being seated, using kind words and not being loud! Being in seat AND on task! MOST importantly listening, this will help your child with focus and the ability to practice affective and academic learning!

We invite you to come and see your student in ACTION! We’ve worked hard to create an environment where we can focus on social skills, communication, self-regulation and learning!

We would love to have parents, family members, who ever would like to help support your child, be part of our learning day. Please contact me at: [email protected] 

ACADEMICS

• Please check HAC (Home Access Center) grades are updated on Fridays for your child’s classes,

As a reminder, Fridays have been designated for summative assessments and for the chance for students to show what they know!

• This week’s summative activities will focus on core content material in the form of a multiple-choice assessment to practice their test taking, bubble sheet skills.

Social Perspectives

The focus of our program is to teach students alternative behaviors to replace challenging ones, helping students reach their academic and affective learning potential. The goal of the Bridge Program at GRMS is to gradually reintegrate students into the general education setting with minimal support.

• Our social perspectives focus this week will be Communication and Kindness.

We will focus on strategies on how to advocate for themselves, use their accomadations and useful communication along with self-regulation.

Station Rotations

In Learning Strategies and Intensive Reading, we have implemented Station Rotations, which the students really seem to enjoy. This small group setting allows students to work with peers and adults to ensure they are getting the support they need. Students rotate through an IR station, a Learning Strats Station, a Novel Study Station and for our Kinesthetic Learners, a Get Up and Move Station. Come enjoy the fun!
