Hi Site Leader,

The holiday season is here, and we on the LiveSchool Team are using this time to reflect on the year, give thanks, and – as always – spread joy. So let’s get into it!

Take a Step Back

Our team are true believers in taking time to reflect - we do it after every project! Being able to assess progress towards your goals and readjust when needed is vital to success. That’s why we’re offering this reflection time to all of our customers!

Connect with our Success Team to discuss the data in your LiveSchool site and leave with actionable next steps.

PD OPPORTUNITY

We’re very excited to share that a LiveSchool O.G. will be the speaker at our upcoming webinar. Jay Maines is a Principal in Del Valle, Texas, who has been using LiveSchool since 2014. Jay will be sharing how his school reduced referrals by 82% in 5 years.

15 Ways to Shout Out Your Teachers

Part of reflecting includes the ability to acknowledge the hard work being done. Have you been acknowledging students and teachers throughout the year? Is anyone going above and beyond to support your community? Now is the perfect time to share your appreciation with them.

Check out these 15 ways that you can recognize your teachers throughout the year.

How to Finish 2022 on a High Note

With a few weeks left in the year, there is an opportunity to use this time to really focus on spreading joy and having fun before the holiday break. We have two suggestions:

Point Goals

Consider running a special Point Goal Reward in December where students that exhibit specific character traits receive additional points. This can help with any specific negative behavior that may be popping up before the holiday break!

For example, International Kindness Day was November 13th so you could decide to do a Kindness Challenge for a couple of weeks. If the students reach a certain amount of points for demonstrating kindness by a specific date, then they get to take part in the reward experience.

Learn more about Point Goal Rewards and if you’re needing help with what the reward should be - there’s always our Rewards that Rock database of 100+ ideas.

House Points

Looking to end 2022 with some friendly competition? Use LiveSchool’s House Points system to split your students into teams (up to 12) and run a House Competition. Sabrina Hughes-Tate at McKissack Middle School in Nashville, TN recently shared how her school successfully launched its House System this year. Learn how here.

⭐️ Speaking of high notes, here are our favorites from the last year. 

Tag LiveSchool on social media with your own special celebrations, and you may earn something special yourself 😉

That's it for this year, folks. Enjoy the rest of your 2022. Want to see past newsletters? Go here, and filter the Type by the newsletter.
