MTSS-B Tidbits

· As a part of our Elementary PBIS Tier 1 Program, Ms. Vasquez, our MTSS-B counselor delivered 17 elementary Healthy Minds lessons in August and September to all elementary students/classes. Students were engaged and participatory while learning coping strategies and what it means to have a Healthy Mind and incorporating our schoolwide expectations: Be Responsible, Be Respectful, and Be Safe.

· Our PALS (Positive Actions for Life Success) is a Tier 2 Intervention Program that we have been also offering as a Tier 1 Prevention Program. This is our 3rd year offering this to kinder students and we are thankful for our kindergarten teacher support. PALS is once again off to a great start targeting our youngest learners, our Kinder students, as a preventative program! PALS will again be offered in the spring to our K-3 students, inclusive of all kinder studentS and offered to our 1st-3rd grade students as a Tier 2 Intervention.

· Our MTSS-B Tier 2 intervention groups and Check In, Check Out have begun and will focus on a CASEL strategy paired with a schoolwide expectation. There are currently 10 students receiving Tier 2 counseling services.

· Our Counseling Room, known to the kids as the Falcon's Nest continues to be an accessible support to all students! Some items students can find at the Counseling Room are yoga balls, art utensils, board games, brain puzzles, coloring sheets, origami sheets and how-to books, stress balls, and card games. "
