It's a Great Week to be a Cavalier!

Happy Sunday Cavalier Families!


We hope the you are staying warm in this chilly weather!


This week, students will be taking benchmark tests in their four core subjects and we will be on an alternate schedule. As we approach spring break, we are reminding students that true leadership means making responsible choices, treating others with respect, and staying focused on their learning.


Please take a moment to remind your student about the importance of following expectations, showing kindness, and setting a great example for others. Together, we can ensure a safe, productive, and enjoyable week for all.


Repeat from last week:

Recently, we’ve noticed an increase in disruptive behaviors in the hallways and restroom areas, including excessive noise, horseplay, and misuse of restrooms. These actions not only disrupt learning but also create an environment that is unsafe and disrespectful. We are addressing this at school, but we need your partnership to reinforce expectations at home. Please take a moment to talk with your student about the importance of:

✅ Using indoor voices in the hallways and restrooms. In emergency situations, they will not be able to hear directions if they are too loud.
✅ Walking with purpose and avoiding horseplay. Students should walk on the right side of the hallway and go from point A to point B without unnecessary wandering. Horseplay is often the reason that students are hurt or get into real altercations.
✅ Respecting school property and keeping restrooms clean. Students deserve to have a clean, inviting, and safe environment in their school and everyone in the building is responsible for this.
✅ Being mindful of how their behavior impacts others. They are part of a school community and the actions they take do have repercussions on those around them.


Thank you for your partnership in helping our students Make It Count! We are looking forward to a Cav-tastic week with your students!
