SAEBRS Screener 

Students will participate in the second administration of the Social Academic and Emotional Behavior Rating Scale (SAEBRS) next week. This universal tool focuses on the following areas: 

• Social (Arguing, Temper Outbursts, Disruptive Behavior) 
• Emotional (Sadness, Anxiety, Withdrawal, Lack of Resilience)
• Academic (Academic Engagement, Production of Acceptable Work, Preparedness).

If a screening shows that a student would benefit from additional support, parents will be contacted and collaborate with the school team to problem-solve and determine the next steps.  

Thank you for your support and assistance in ensuring each of our students has the opportunity to achieve academic and social-emotional success. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.  

Valentine's Day Celebrations

Classroom Valentine's Day celebrations will take place on Friday, February 14 at the end of the afternoon. Children may bring Valentine's cards as long as they include everyone in their class. If they have friends in other classes, those cards should be distributed outside of school since they won’t be able to visit other classrooms during the day. To maintain our safety practices and encourage healthy eating, please do not include candy, even as part of the card. The teachers are talking with the children about this to encourage a fun and happy experience for the whole class. Thank you for being so cooperative in making the parties a happy and safe occasion for everyone.

Parent-Teacher Conferences in February (reminder)

Parent-teacher conferences will take place on February 12, 13, & 14 at Shabonee. Conferences are 15 minutes so that parents can meet with both teachers together. It’s important that parents respect this time so that teachers can collaborate with all parents of their students. 

The conference sign-up system, Meet The Teacher, is now open. Information about how to sign up for a conference with your child’s teachers was emailed to parents. If you did not receive an email or have questions, please contact the Shabonee office. Parent-teacher conferences are just one of the opportunities to talk about progress and parents are welcome and encouraged to reach out to their child’s teacher(s) at any time during the school year. It’s truly through our collaborative efforts that our students achieve success.
