Looking Ahead: A Note from Dr. Young
Dear Parents and Guardians,
What a beautiful fall day! It looks like we’ll finally have great weather for trick-or-treating. Only in Michigan do our kids sometimes need winter coats and snow boots on Halloween, but thankfully not this year. I loved seeing each child’s personality shine as they enjoyed today’s fall activities.
This afternoon, we surprised students with a DJ dance party to kick off our new monthly PBIS reward system. Throughout the month, classes will earn “noticings” when staff see students being responsible, respectful, safe, and kind. Classes that reach their goal will earn a schoolwide reward, and students with two or fewer referrals that month will join in the celebration.
We also launched our Student of the Week program. In November, we’ll be recognizing students who excel at Listening to Understand. Our first Students of the Week are featured below, and their awards will be posted in the hallway all week. Congratulations!
Warm Regards,
Dr. Young
