Thank you for continuously supporting our students at home by teaching and encouraging them to show their Shark PRIDE everywhere, every day. At Newport Heights, we focus on the different character traits of our Shark PRIDE each month. For August, our focus was introducing and refining all of the components. For the month of September, our focus will be on P for Politeness. Throughout the month we will be reinforcing showing politeness and will review with them what it looks like to demonstrate politeness in the classrooms, at the lunch tables, on the playground, at flag deck, and just about everywhere else on campus. We encourage you to continue the conversation about politeness at home, as it is important students are learning to apply these skills to all aspects of their lives. We will be honoring students at September's Awards Assembly for their commitment to showing politeness to others through the "Profound Pride" award.
Check out this POLITENESS poem:
We say, "Thank you." We say, "Please."
We don't interrupt or tease.
We don't argue. We don't fuss.
We listen when folks talk to us.
We share our toys and take our turn.
Politeness isn’t hard to learn.
It's really easy, when you find.
Politeness means JUST BEING KIND!
