Dear Families,
At BPES, we believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and supported. As the Behavior Interventionist, I work with students to help them make positive choices and repair relationships when conflicts arise. One way we do this is through Restorative Practices—an approach that focuses on building strong classroom and school communities, helping students understand how their actions affect others, and guiding them in making things right when mistakes happen.
We would love your input! Please take a few moments to complete this short survey:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSceWA7bGd0oQXyRgpLSu9wKZ1OMXTyTJrOuvD7q1-grDFuWFA/viewform
Your feedback is very important as we continue to grow this program.
If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at mnauman@aacps.org. I am very excited to work with you and your children this year!

Warmly,
Melissa Nauman
Behavior Interventionist, BPES

Queridas Familias, En BPES, creemos que cada niño merece sentirse seguro, valorado y apoyado. Como Intervencionista de Comportamiento, trabajo con los estudiantes para ayudarles a tomar decisiones positivas y reparar relaciones cuando surgen conflictos. Una forma en que hacemos esto es a través de Prácticas Restaurativas, un enfoque que se centra en construir comunidades escolares y de aula fuertes, ayudando a los estudiantes a entender cómo sus acciones afectan a los demás y guiándolos para reparar las cosas cuando ocurren errores. ¡Nos encantaría su opinión! Por favor, tómese unos momentos para completar esta breve encuesta: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSceWA7bGd0oQXyRgpLSu9wKZ1OMXTyTJrOuvD7q1-grDFuWFA/viewform

Tu opinión es muy importante mientras seguimos desarrollando este programa. Si tienes alguna pregunta, inquietud o sugerencia, no dudes en comunicarte conmigo a mnauman@aacps.org. Estoy muy emocionado de trabajar contigo y tus hijos este año!

Cordialmente,

Melissa Nauman
