PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) is a school-wide framework that helps students develop positive behaviors and learn in a safe environment. Each week, I will highlight some of the things we are working on so you can help support those expectations at home.

For the month of November, our theme is Growth Mindset and Goal Setting with a focus on being an active listener.

Due to our construction, lunch will be eaten inside the classrooms each day to start the year. Breakfast service has not changed, however, our lunch menu now only has 2 options instead of 3.
