The Rebel Way

The new school year is well underway, and PBIS teams across the county have been work-

ing feverishly to promote PBIS in Haralson County. Each school team has completed

booster team training this fall and has exciting plans in place for the school year. We are

excited about sharing all of the PBIS activities throughout the county through our news-

letters.

students enjoyed getting wet and seeing Dr. Harrell in action with the water hose.

Molly is a 7th grade student at HCMS. Her writing was

published in the August , 2016 edition of the Rebel Yell.

The Rebel Way is in full swing at

HCMS. Thus far, the staff has taught

two school-wide PBIS lessons. The

first lesson focused on school-wide be-

havioral expectations. The second ad-

dressed proper behavior during

school assemblies. We are happy to re-

port that our students responded well

to these lessons and can regularly be

found setting behavioral examples to

emulate. Thanks to our great stu-

dents, the school logged a total of

FIVE disciplinary referrals for the

month of August.! Way to go Rebels!

The PBIS team at HCMS sponsored a “Top Dawg”

party to celebrate the many successes already seen

at HCMS this school year. The faculty and staff were

treated with “super dogs” and all of the trimmings

for lunch!
