Good Morning, Regency Park Friends…

Regency Park students in Mr. McIntyre’s and Mr. Pfeiffer’s 6^thGrade classes are stepping up to the microphone!  Each week a student from each of their rooms greets the students during the morning announcements and leads us in the Pledge of Allegiance, reports on the Regency birthdays for the day, shares the lunch menu and building updates, and reads our weekly inspirational quote. 

After reading the quote all week, one of the 6^thgrade students then shares a kid-friendly meaning of the quote so that all students can better understand its inspirational meaning.  Finally, our announcers sign off with… “That’s all we have for you today.  Go be your very best…  and REACH! 

REACH stands for Respect Everyone And Climb Higher.  A way to show respect is shared in the announcements so that students can relate the meaning of respect with real examples to better understand it.  Students are permitted and encouraged to submit a favorite “Thought for the Week” to Ms. Shirey to be considered for the morning announcements throughout the year.

So far, students were asked to show respect in the hallways by walking quietly so they don’t disturb others and show respect on their buses by staying in their seats and listening to the drivers and monitors.

This week’s inspirational quote was by famous football coach Vince Lombardi: 

    “It’s not whether you fall that’s important.  It’s that you get back up.”

Bring You Own Device to School - BYOD

The Plum Borough School District has recently adopted a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy for all schools in the district.  This policy will allow students to bring many of their own technology devices to school for use in our classrooms. We will now be incorporating the use of such items as laptops, iPads, netbooks and cell phones with browsing capabilities for educational purposes only. Similar to other personally owned items, the district is not liable for the loss, damage, misuse, or theft of personally owned devices brought to school. Click on the link below for more information.
