We are excited to share with you an opportunity for our students to earn what we call Huskie Howlers (also known as "Howls"). This positive behavior program encourages students to embody our core values:

• H - Having Respect for Everyone
• O - Owning My Actions
• W - Working and Playing Safely
• L - Learning with Intention
• S - Showing Kindness

When staff members observe students exhibiting these qualities, they can award a Howls ticket. Each week, students that have earned a Howls ticket have the chance win a prize. This is randomly chosen!

Congratulations to our winners so far this year!

Please be aware that for the safety of all students and families we need to make sure cars are not dropping off or picking up students in the parking lot. Also, we need to keep our handicap parking available to those that have the proper permit. Please do not park in the handicap parking space without a permit. Citations may be issued if you are parked in a handicap space without a permit.

Toys are only allowed if teachers have sent home a slip that tells you they are allowed, most of the time this will be stuffies.

If your student is caught with a stuffy or any toys that are not approved by the teachers they will be held in the office until the end of the day so they don't get lost.
