Principal's Message: Understanding How We Support Student Behavior
At Mt. Vernon, we use two tools to help support student behavior and keep families informed: Major Office Discipline Referrals and Husky Resets (minor referrals).
A Husky Reset is used when a staff member is working with a student on a lower-level behavior. This might include things like reminders, reteaching expectations, or problem-solving with the student. The goal is to address concerns early and help students learn from the situation. Families will be contacted so you’re aware and can support your child at home as well.
A Major Office Discipline Referral is used for more serious concerns that require involvement from the principal or assistant principal. In these cases, school administration will investigate, follow up, and communicate next steps with families.
In both situations, communication with families is an important part of our process. Our goal is to partner with you to support your child’s success and ensure a safe, positive learning environment for all students.
Celebrating Our Second Grade Musicians!
Last Thursday, our second graders put on a fantastic World Music performance! Students did an incredible job showcasing their learning through music and movement from around the world. It was wonderful to see their confidence and joy on stage—what a special experience for everyone who attended.
A big thank you to our amazing music teacher, Emily Miller, for her hard work in preparing students and bringing this performance to life. We appreciate all the time and care you put into creating such a memorable event for our school community!
We Had a Wheel-y Great Time—Thank You!
We want to extend a big thank you to everyone who joined us for our Skate & Scoot Night last Friday! It was wonderful to see so many students and families having fun, staying active, and spending time together as a community. The energy and smiles throughout the evening made it such a special event.
A special thank you to our PTA for organizing and supporting this event—your time and effort helped make the night a huge success. We truly appreciate all that you do for our school!
Early Release - Friday, April 24
This is a reminder that we will have an early release on Friday, April 24. Students will finish the school day at 12:30 p.m.
The early release allows time for important staff training and professional development in the afternoon. Thank you for making any needed arrangements to ensure your child is picked up on time.
