Summary

KBMS reported a rebranding push and a wristband recognition program tied to five power values (perseverance, ownership, the 'W' value, excellence, respect) to encourage student engagement and public recognition of positive behavior.

The middle-school presenter told the board the school is pursuing a rebranding and "reculturing" effort to help students feel more connected and to recognize positive behaviors through monthly awards and a new wristband program.

The presenter described the wristband program, saying, "The p is perseverance, o is ownership, the w is v before me, e is excellence, and r is respect." Students who show the named values receive a wristband and a postcard home; students who collect all five wristbands earn a special "power" wristband. The program is intended to make school values visible and to provide public recognition.

The presenter also summarized recent band and choir concerts and noted winter sports and middle-school dances were resuming. Board members thanked staff and encouraged continued student-centered efforts.
