Dear Janssen School Community,

Oh my goodness, everyone. Quarter 4 is in full swing and our students

and staff continue to work hard to produce quality work. I truly believe

these strong efforts from our students and staff are because of our

school’s culture. What I have continually shared this year is that our

culture is a result of our behaviors. Another way that I frame this is:

“Our behaviors drive our culture”. What fosters this framework is our

intentionality to promote, apply, recognize, and reflect on our behaviors.

For example, each staff meeting we reflect on our following universal

behaviors:

we study/adjust from our students’ gaps/needs

we collaborate

we build relationships

we care

When we collaborate, we reflect on student behaviors: How can stu-

dents reflect on their gap, select a strategy to close the gap, and try the

strategy with additional opportunities to learn? Why such intentions?

We want each of our students to be problem solvers so they can meet

their potential. Is it hard work? You bet. Is it good work? Yes, and we

will continue to study and adjust to improve. Concurrently, we reflect

on how to foster positive relationships.

Our school year is moving quickly and before we know it, it will be com-

ing to its end. We will be steadfast to our vision and school safety. The

same universal behaviors (above) we practiced to start the school year

will continue until our last day of school. What I ask from our families

is that we continue to work together for our students—support, encour-

age, and remind them to persevere as students and practice our com-

munity values as citizens. I want for each student at Janssen to be

proud of their work and confident as learners.

In conclusion, we are always available for you. Parent feedback and

questions are important to our improvement process. You can reach out

to your child’s teachers, school counselor, and me. We are better when

we work together.

Sincerely,

Hercules Nikolaou, Ph.D.

JANSSEN COUNSELOR CORNER

Happy April Janssen Families! I hope everyone

had an enjoyable spring break.

Life Skills Class Updates

Currently in Life Skills at all grade levels, stu-

dents are learning about the problem solving

process. This process gives students steps that

they can apply to small problems that they en-

counter individually or with peers. Problem solv-

ing is an important skill that empowers to chil-

dren persevere through problems with school

work, friends, siblings, etc.

For grades K-1, the problem solving steps are:

1. How do I feel (Do I need to calm down?)

2. What is the problem?

3. What can I do?

For grades 2-5, we learn the “STEP” process

from our Second Step Curriculum. Those steps

involve:

S- Say the problem

T- Think of solutions

E- Explore consequences

P- Pick a solution

During these lessons we look at age appropriate

problem scenarios and apply the problem solving

process to those scenarios. I also bring in Kelso’s

choices of examples of solutions that students

can use to solve problems with peers. We also

discuss how to tell when a problem is a big prob-

lem that requires help from a trusted adult.

Looking Ahead to May

It is hard to believe that we only have a handful

of Life Skills lessons left for the year! After we

tackle problem solving, we will be rounding out

the school year with lessons about career clus-

ters. This is a part of the Academic and Career

Planning (ACP) initiative through the state of

Wisconsin. More information about the KASD

approach to ACP can be found here:
