Weekly Tip From INspired Leadership
Here is 1 tip to increase anabolic energy: assume positive intent.
Indra Nooyi, former CEO of Pepsico, got the best advice from her father, "Whatever anybody says or does, assume positive intent."
In the heat of the moment when things are said, it can be easy to misconstrue the meaning. When we don't have the pieces, our brain fills in the blanks and it's usually with information not in our favor.
Nooyi says if you react from a negative perspective because you don't like how someone reacted (their energy), it'll turn into two negatives fighting each other.
When you assume positive intent, you slow down and consider curious inner dialogue:
- Let me get behind what they're saying to understand if they're hurt, rushed, upset, confused, or not present.
- Maybe they're saying something to me that I'm not hearing.
Assuming positive intent increases your emotional quotient (EQ) because you become responsive (anabolic energy) instead of reactive (catabolic energy).
3 benefits to the practice?
- It suspends judgment and brings curiosity.
- It increases or (at the very least) maintains your anabolic energy.
- It's Level 5 self-leadership - a belief in others, collaboration & teamwork (you bring something to the table that is different than what I bring, and that's important)
There you have it. One tip for increasing anabolic energy!
Reflect: What would assuming positive intent sound like and look like for you?

Visitors at CJSHS
As we work to provide and secure a safe environment for students and staff, I wanted to share our district wide policies with all of you. It will take all of us to start new habits and keep a necessary system in place. These signs will be on our entrances and commons area. ALL visitors- that means anyone who does not receive a paycheck from USD 462 or COOP employees, must sign in at the main office and wear a visitor's badge. Even if the visit is short- a badge is needed. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know!
School Supply Needs
Students, if you are in need of any school supplies for your classes or a backpack, please send Niki an email at nbeers@usd462.org or stop by the office and let her know. Joseph's Storehouse has generously made a donation to cover the needs of our students once school starts.

ZAP Intervention Program Begins This Week At CJSHS
The ZAP program will continue at CJSHS for the 2022-23 school year. We have had a slight change in the way that students are referred to the zap program. Please see the bold area below. Basically what this means is that instead of teachers handwriting ZAP referral forms each Monday morning, a ZERO list will be pulled from Goedustar and any student who has a ZERO will be referred to ZAP and will receive a notification from the office. ZAP referrals will begin on Monday, August 22nd.
What is the ZAP program?
Zeros Aren’t Permitted (ZAP) is a program designed to increase expectations of students who habitually, or even occasionally, fail to complete and turn in homework assignments on time. It is first and foremost an expectation of high academic standards for all students. It is the goal of this program to empower students to acquire self-discipline and develop positive work habits. These skills will help students achieve success in our school while preparing them to meet the expectations of college and career professionals that they will encounter after graduation.
Why is USD 462 using the ZAP program?
The ZAP program is formed based upon the belief that every student can learn and be successful in school. Based on this belief, we will implement this program to hold ourselves and our students accountable for meeting this level of expectations. He/she will take pride in completing an assignment and doing it to the best of his/her ability. The most important trait that an individual can possess when it comes to achieving success is grit. Grit is the ability to persevere and overcome any obstacle in the pursuit of a goal. When students choose to skip an assignment, they lose an opportunity to practice hard work and display their grit. We realize that for many students a zero is not an immediate consequence since most students who repeatedly receive zeros are students who are struggling in school anyway. As educators, we recognize that when a student skips an assignment, this is a behavioral problem that often becomes an academic problem. ZAP is just one more strategy to help a child experience more success in school by building good character and work ethic. However, ZAP goes beyond behavioral goals like teaching grit. Using ZAP means preparing a student for college, career and/or for life because it requires teachers to ensure each child knows the curriculum, and if he/she is not completing assignments a teacher cannot possibly provide an accurate measure of that student’s knowledge. Our students know more than nothing, and we want them to prove it every time. That is why zeros aren’t permitted.
ZAP Program Details:
The program and referrals will begin on the 2nd Monday of each quarter.
The student will receive a ZAP form on Monday by 3:50 p.m. with details about the missing or incomplete work in which they currently have a zero (0).
Guardians will be notified via a schoolreach phone call and email by Monday evening.
To get Un-ZAP’d, the student will be required to complete the listed assignment(s) for the class with full effort and fill and have the teacher sign a green “get out of ZAP” form. It is the responsibility of the student to get the green form completed and turned in to the office by 3:43 p.m. to be Un-ZAP’d.
Any student without a completed green “get out of ZAP” form by 3:50 p.m. the following day, Tuesday and each consecutive school day after will be REQUIRED to stay after school until 4:55 p.m. During this time, students will work on getting the academic work done that they are missing.
There will be no ZAP after school on Mondays. The program will be on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays from 3:50 - 4:50 p.m.
This intervention program is monitored by a trained staff member. Students may be picked up at the jr/sr high school library doors at 4:50 p.m. No school transportation will be provided, families are responsible for transportation arrangements. If the student does not have available transportation, please contact administration to inquire about possible school transportation arrangements for the student.
Please see the teacher’s syllabus for specific expectations of turn in procedures, grading protocol, late work acceptance, etc.
If a student involved in after school activities or athletics is ZAP’d, the student will not miss ZAP for after school activities or athletics, including game days. If a junior high student is ZAP’d, they may practice from 3:25-3:50 and then will report to ZAP.
Students who do not attend/skip ZAP under any circumstances will be referred to the office for disciplinary action following the behavior and consequences policy of Central Jr/Sr High School.
Miss Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday = parents/guardians will receive a phone call and/or email stating that the student has required Friday school the same week. Friday school will take place in the jr/sr high school library from 9:00 a.m. - Noon. Students will be required to make up missed time from ZAP, up to 3 hours per week. Example, if a student misses Tuesday, they miss 1 hour of ZAP and must attend Friday school during the same week for 1 hour.
Miss Required Friday School = Structured Day the following Monday.
Please discuss with students!
Reminder that students are not to be in the parking lot at CJSHS prior to 7:30 a.m. (7:25 a.m. at the earliest) unless specifically at school to meet with a teacher or for practice. Once a student enters the parking lot and is on campus, they are expected to proceed into the building once the doors open at 7:35 a.m. No loitering in the parking lot.
Ms. Susan will be at CJSHS daily between 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
