High Five Winners
Week
30...Callie
Shows (8th) and Cassianna Gresset (7th)
West Jones Middle
School administration
and staff have designed the "High
Five Club"
to encourage positive behavior
among students.
This
positive behavior intervention is a team based approach to enforce positive
behavior
among the student body.
Wade
Clark, middle school principal, Doreen Hill, middle school counselor, and
all the 7th and 8th grade teachers issue tickets to students seen exhibiting
desired behavior.
Tickets are then deposited into the "High Five" box
for a drawing each Friday. Two winning students
are then awarded prizes and their names are added to the "High Five Club"
roster.
By using this unique technique, WJMS is
moving from a culture that is set up to catch students breaking rules to a
culture
that is set up to catch students in
positive behaviors.
The "High Five" Motto is:
1) Be Safe
2) Be Responsible
3) Be Respectful
4) Be Honest
5) Be Your Best
These characteristics are focused in all school settings:
classrooms, hallways, restrooms, cafeteria, common areas,
assemblies, and buses.

WJH
Receives Grant From Exxon
The administration at West Jones High School was excited to
learn they were the recipients of a $500 grant from Exxon
Mobil Educational Alliance. West Jones was nominated by Clark
Oil Company, Inc. (Clark’s #49). This grant will be used for
incentive programs for math and science classes. Assistant
Principal, Sharon Grasha, stated, “We are always looking for
funding for those little extras that make kids want to go the
extra mile. This grant will be a huge help in that area.”
Grasha noted that West Jones High School is a High Performing
School based on the state accountability model. She
attributed that success to good teachers who inspire their
students to do their personal best. She believes that grants
such as the Exxon grant and community partnerships play a huge
role in giving our teachers and students the tools they need
to be successful. Thank you to Clark Oil Company and Exxon
Mobil.
