The five things in my communityis the be kind to my classmates.   I will get better grades.  My level will start heading straight up.  I will help with the group of classmates in the classroom that I am in.  If my classmates are nice and smart, I will try my best and make better choices.   Getting good grades is getting a good level.

I will learn ho play sports with my classmates.  Doing work and work hard makes us happy.  some of us get sad or mad.  I'll stay happy and sharp.  I love working with my favorite classmates.  Social studies make me work very hard.  Learning will help you get your education.

English language arts is very very easy.  Once in a while it is so hard. Sometimes I write fast.   When I first go into the classroom we have to fill out a behavior graph.   When mine is right, mine is eligible. When somebody else is wrong and the are ineligible, I will help them if it is wrong.   That is a positive impact I can do my best in my community.  I hope I do my best in high school and college. That is the end.

Mission Statement:  To successfully transition students to a regular school setting.   The Main Street Academy Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services is designed to address behavioral issues in a safe therapeutic environment.   This can only be achieved with active participation by each student’s parents and or guardian’s support. 

 

Our student goals include acquiring and practicing appropriate social skills, developing better coping skills, developing problem solving techniques, taking responsibility for behaviors, and demonstrating ethical behaviors. 

We have a low teacher/student ratio.  This allows the students to be taught in an individualized and small setting.  Some of the clinical interventions include individual, group, recreation, and social skills therapy. 



Student Creative Writing Corner:

I am quiet and funny
I wonder what my older brother in college is doing
I hear the AC running
I see a police officer
I am quiet and funny

I feel artistic
I touch a stress
I worry about my mom
I cry when I am mad
I am quiet and funny


I understand the truth
I dream that I'm rich with money
I try to tell the truth
I hope that I'll be rich
I am quiet and funny
