January 25, 2016 Page 2 STUDENT AND STAFF RECOGNITION 1. Student Recognition The Auburn School District Board of Directors will recognize Britney Ibarra, a fifth grader at Pioneer Elementary, for being an outstanding student. Britney is an incredible, hardworking student who comes to school ready and excited to learn every day! She is a positive role model, always tries her best, and has a wonderful attitude. Britney is an avid reader. She surpassed her goal of 300 Accelerated Reader points in fourth grade and challenged herself to reach 500 points this year. She also enjoys math and problem solving. She loves her teachers because they are challenging, fun, and expect a lot from her. Britney is involved at school. She has been on the Pioneer Demo team for the last three years and was an ASB representative in third grade. She participated in the DEA Auburn Youth Dance Program and won a one- month dance scholarship because of her effort. She is part of the safety patrol and she takes her role very seriously. Every morning, she works hard to keep her fellow students safe and helps keep the other patrol members on task. Britney enjoys art. When she grows up, she wants to be an interior designer because she loves fashion and style. She is always looking for something new to try. Her next challenge is to learn how to knit. Daniela Rowe, Britney’s teacher, said, “Britney is amazing! She started kindergarten speaking only Spanish. Through hard work, parental support and encouragement, she is fluent in both Spanish and English. Not only does she have an amazing work ethic, she’s also respectful, responsible, and kind. She is so deserving of this award!” The Pioneer staff is confident Britney will reach her goals in school and in life. 2. Staff Recognition The Auburn School District Board of Directors will recognize John Ansotigue, teacher at Evergreen Heights, for his outstanding service. John has been the P.E. and music specialist at Evergreen Heights since 2001. He has been bringing his enthusiasm for teaching to students in the northwest since 1974. He grew up in Colville and attended Whitworth College where he earned his bachelor degree in music education. He has taught in multiple schools around the state. In the 80s, he took a two-year break from teaching to try out being a financial services representative. He liked it, but knew his calling was teaching. January 25, 2016 Page 3 Evergreen Heights students are lucky he returned to teaching. John leads a 90-member elementary choir that performs the national anthem at numerous college and professional sporting events, including Mariner games, NCAA regional events, and Seattle Thunderbirds games. His choir students recorded two radio jingles last year that began airing last week. He also brought sport stacking to Washington and is an integral part of the World Sport Stacking Association. He has coordinated hosting the northwest regional sport stacking competition for the last eight years and has been the tournament director for the last 10 years. John loves his job and has no plans to retire any time soon. “I love my job, why would I retire?” he said. “My goal is to have a positive impact on students and to give them the opportunity to be successful.” He also loves the staff at Evergreen Heights and extremely proud of the success of Evergreen Heights students. John’s wife of 38 years, Kris, also is a teacher and they have three grown daughters and two grandsons. John has a 90-second commute from his house to Evergreen Heights. In his off time, John watches his very athletic grandson play sports, enjoys the Seahawks and Husky sports, skis, plays tennis, and hikes. January 25, 2016 Page 4 STUDENT PARTICIPATION 1.

Why School‐Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions & Support (SW‐PBIS) and Social‐Emotional Learning (SEL) Can Work Together SW‐PBIS is about creating positive climate and environment. It’s about changing what the adults do to teach, model and reinforce behavior. This provides systematic support for social behavior for students. The goal is for students to know and understand school‐wide and classroom expectations. For students with externalizing problems (ex. Aggression, ADHD, Conduct problems), SW‐PBIS provides the order they need to be successful. PBIS does not by itself directly impact students with internalizing problems (anxiety, depression, withdrawal), however, when done along with Social Emotional Learning (SEL) it does. This is because if we use social‐emotional strategies and competencies to get kids “in the mood,” and resilient, then the PBIS approaches help to provide the structure they need to learn. For students with internalizing problems, SEL approaches can have a significant impact on developing the essential skills when done with fidelity. Similarly, SEL does not directly impact students with externalizing problems without PBIS. This is because if you provide students with externalizing problems SEL without the order and structure they need, they are likely to not benefit from the instruction. If you provide them with access to both supports, that can lead to significant success because they are behaviorally activated and are developing competencies that are longer‐lasting to help them problem‐solve, cope with challenges. Many of our students are at‐risk for both externalizing and internalizing problems, which is another reason why an integrated approach is important.
