POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTIONS & SUPPORTThe CMS family believes that all students can be successful. In order to maximize academic engagement and achievement for all students, the school has implemented a PBIS model. PBIS addresses character education, classroom management, and disciplinary issues in a proactive manner that allows the teacher to reward students when they exhibit behaviors that are representative of established, taught, and modeled expectations. Rewards for positive behavior are given in the form of incentives at the individual, team, grade and school-wide level throughout the year. PBS at CMS is working well. It is a matter of finding what 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students like to do and use incentives that address those likes. Our referral data has improved each year of implementation and we have received Exemplar Status by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction for 9 years in a row. |
PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION (PTA)PTA is an active parent teacher organization designed to enhance the relationship between parents and teachers as well as to help parents become involved in their children's education. The PTA has been instrumental in the development of many worthwhile projects such as planners for each student, field trips, awards, teacher appreciation treats, breakfast during EOG's, End-of-Year activities for students, and other various celebrations. You may become a PTA member for only $8.00. Becoming a PTA member enables you to vote and to help make decisions to better Chowan Middle School. PTA Board Members: Adrian Wood Elizabeth Bryant |
