Welcome to the 2009-2010 School Year!

Happy September!

Welcome back! We have had such a fantastic seven days! Thank you so much for all your warm welcomes and support!


This is the BLOG! This will be sent to you weekly with various information on what's going on in class, school, and in the community.



Please take a few moments to explore the BLOG with your child. You'll notice weekly homework assignments, helpful weblinks, links to other Magnet classes, and the option to "follow" are on the left - hand side.

Positive Behavior Support

We now have a new positive behavior program we've designed to meet the needs of Urbana Elementary School. The system includes specific ways students show respect to themselves, others, and to their surroundings. This behavior system is used in conjunction with Character Counts!
Students have the opportunity to earn pride stickers and rewards for their class. When students choose not to follow school rules, they will complete a "Think Sheet". The Think Sheet provides the student the opportunity to reflect on the actions he/she chose, and decide what they will choose to do next time.
First offense: sheet is reviewed with Miss Phelps and kept in a file in class. Second offense: sheet is reviewed with Miss Phelps and sent home to be reviewed with parents, and returned with a signature. Third offense: Student and Think Sheets are sent to the office.
