I received the message below from a staff member. This is a very reasonable request, so please make sure your name is legible.
Passes are necessary. Please ask teachers to use their name not a signature. I already have passes that I can't verify due to initials and indecipherable signatures. Please have people print so passes can be read.
Please print if your writing isn't legible enough. Thanks.

From Missy (thanks Missy):
Thought for the month- Focus on what kids can do, even if it's not what you hoped. Growth and real learning live in the recognition of potential and possibilities not in the recognition of deficits.

Cumberland Regional School District, Bridgeton, New Jersey
Initiative: In the Freshman Seminar/Senior Mentoring program at Cumberland Regional High School, seniors are assigned ninth- graders to mentor. This peer support includes tutoring, and guidance in relationship-building, decision-making, social awareness and self-management. Seniors also conduct daily organizational checks, weekly conferences and notebook checks to help ninth-graders stay on track. “The program’s innovative nature has supported unprecedented success in the targeted areas of positive behaviors, academic success, absenteeism and on-time graduation,” says Lauren Taniguchi, the district’s coordinator of grants and communications.
