Celebrating our April Citizens of the Month
On May 5, 2025, we recognized our April Citizens of the Month. Students selected were recognized for showing healthy living throughput the month. We were joined by Eagle Scout, David Huston who built our new GaGa pit for our Morrisville Intermediate School students, Chief Ciampia, and Mayor Wallace!
Congratulations to our hard working students! Congratulations to Avalynn and Mrs. Chesko who were our student and staff BARK Bone assembly gift card winners this month.

In the month of April there were 106 behavioral referrals including 42 majors and 64 minors.
This is down from 180 referrals generated in the month of March. 50 referrals were generated from classroom behaviors, 15 each from playground and hallways, 10 from the cafeteria, and the rest from other locations.
The most common behavior referrals were for physical contact behaviors, defiance, disrespect, and inappropriate language. At this point in the year 77.6% of our students have 1 or fewer behavior referral, 14.1% have 2-5 referrals, and 8.3% have 6 or more.
As we bring this school year to a close any student who does not follow our BARK expectations will lose the opportunity to join in end of year activities. We continue to value your support!

This Month in Classroom Champions is all about Leadership
May is all about Leadership! This month, Rosie will teach our students that no matter what age kids are, they have both the power and the potential to change their world. Learning leadership skills encourages students to find their voice, participate confidently in the classroom, give them agency in their learning, and become active, involved members of their community.
Our May Citizen of the Month will recognize students who display great leadership skills this month.
