Dear R.B. Hunt Parents,
\nSince 2021, R.B. Hunt Elementary has implemented a schoolwide program for behavior interventions
\ncalled Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS). PBIS is a framework that, according to
\nnational research, enhances student quality of life and reduces problem behaviors. By establishing
\nthis framework, we are developing skills, making changes to the school environment, acknowledging
\nappropriate behavior, and using data to identify supports for our students. As a PBIS school, we
\ndemonstrate a commitment to positive and equitable outcomes for all students.
\nAt R.B. Hunt Elementary, we are committed to creating a learning environment where every student
\nis recognized and rewarded for positive behavior. The R.B. Hunt expectations, known as S.H.I.N.E.
\nare embedded in all settings including the classroom, cafeteria, hallways, outside, restrooms, buses
\nand extended day. At R.B. Hunt, we S.H.I.N.E. by:
\n\u2022 S: Making Safe Choices
\n\u2022 H: Having Respect
\n\u2022 I: Including Others
\n\u2022 N: Noticing Feelings
\n\u2022 E: Engaging in School
\nWe will continue to use LiveSchool this year, an app that will help us share behavior feedback with
\nyou and your child. Your student will receive positive \u201cShine Points\u201d in LiveSchool for hard work and
\ngood behavior throughout the school day. Students will receive positive points for meeting the
\n\u201cS.H.I.N.E.\u201d expectations. Students will also earn points for demonstrating the Character Counts
\nPillars – Caring, Responsibility, Fairness, Trustworthiness, Respect, and Citizenship. All teachers and
\nstaff members can award Shine Points in LiveSchool which allows students the opportunity to receive
\npoints in all settings throughout the school day.
\nThis year we\u2019re adopting a new tool from LiveSchool called Recaps that will allow us to deliver all the
\ninformation about your child\u2019s behavior via an automatic weekly email sent to you.
\nWe will start sending Recaps on Friday, August 25th and Recaps will deliver to your email every
\nFriday evening. To participate in Recaps, you\u2019ll need a LiveSchool Parent Account.
\n\u2022 If you already have a LiveSchool Parent Account, you\u2019ll automatically receive the Recaps
\nemails!
\n\u2022 If you don\u2019t yet have a LiveSchool Parent Account, you can sign up for one using the Access
\nCode Sheet.
\nWe recognize that Recaps emails may provide more details and insight into your child\u2019s behaviors
\nduring the school day. Our school\u2019s focus is on promoting positive behaviors, but you may also see
\nsome behaviors recorded for your child that required redirection from their teacher on the S.H.I.N.E.
\nbehavior expectations. Your child\u2019s points will never be deducted in LiveSchool, even if redirected.
\nParents can access all of this information right from your computer or phone by downloading the free
\nLiveSchool app.
\nAs part of our use of LiveSchool, your child will be able to spend his or her points on various
\nclassroom and schoolwide rewards. We are going to be focusing on positive reinforcement and
\nencouragement and hope that your child earns lots of exciting rewards! Thank you to our amazing
\nPTAO for their support with our LiveSchool incentives including the Shine Store, field trips, raffles,
\nand more!
\nDuring the first weeks of school, your student will receive a letter with more information about how to
\nactivate their LiveSchool account and how to activate two parent LiveSchool accounts. We will be
\nsharing more information about LiveSchool and our schoolwide positive behavior interventions and
\nsupports during Open House.
\nWe will be working hard to make this the best school year yet for your child. If you have any questions
\nabout the LiveSchool program, please feel free to reach out.
\nSincerely,
\nAlice Larson
\nAssistant Principal
