Chaney Library

The library has been a busy place, and that is great! Students are checking out books, teachers are requesting class sets for their classrooms, and classes have come for instruction and application of using primary and secondary sources.

The new ELA and Math curriculums were distributed out to the teachers. Thanks to those students who assisted in the process.

Looking to the future

Currently, we are in the process of planning how to combine with East's library. Ms. Logan, the librarian at East, and I are working together in making decisions on how best to complete that work.

Our part of PBIS

The library is also the center of activity for our PBIS* program-Cowboy Cash. Through positive incentives like Cowboy Cash students are becoming more self-aware of their behavior in the classrooms and hallways. The "CHS Way" is the reminder for how all Cowboys should conduct themselves-- with Commitment, Honor and Service. Cowboy Cash is printed in the library, and the data of our program is gathered through the library.

*"Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS) is a broad range of systemic and individualized strategies for achieving important social and learning outcomes in school communities while preventing problem behavior. The key attributes of PBIS include preventive activities, data-based decision making, and a problem-solving orientation (Horner, 2000; Lewis & Sugai, 1999; Sugai et.al., 2000; Weigle, 1997.)" _Ohio Department of Education Website
