The staff at King/Robinson Inter-district Magnet: An IB STEM School added a twist to their back to school night this year.
The new Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS) committee, headed by third grade teacher Rachel Battino, organized food trucks to come out to the school for the night.
The goal was to increase parent engagement and attendance at Back to School Night and the team knew that food trucks would be very popular.
The food trucks donated a portion of their earnings for the night as a fundraiser for the PBIS committee.
In addition to the typical classroom visits and food trucks the staff offered different educational stations for families to visit and pick up free resources.
Parents and students were able to visit the literacy station, where students were given free books to take home.
The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) station offered a STEM challenge for families to work together to complete.
The math station had flash cards for students to take home.
Families also had the opportunity to enter into a raffle to win a school supply cake.
The staff was excited to offer the families a complete well-rounded overview of their child’s education.
