ST Math
On Friday, we will be celebrating reaching 100% as a school with a JIJI/Penguin Spirit Day. Students and staff are encouraged to wear black and white or your best penguin themed ideas!
Massachusetts would like to celebrate Jiji's birthday with 1,000,000 puzzles! Can our students all help by completing 20 puzzles on Friday? We will certainly try!
Bus Safety and Appropriate Behavior
In the recent weeks, we have seen an increase in behaviors on the bus including getting out of their seats, loud screaming, unkind and inappropriate words, etc. Please remind your children of expected behaviors and the importance of bus safety. We are in contact with the bus company and follow up as needed with specific situations.
Both Mrs. Santarpio and I have personally spoken to students about expectations and the importance of the bus drivers being able to get them safely to and from school. Riding the bus is a privilege and if students cannot follow the rules, they will not be able to ride the bus. We are a team, and if students hear the same expectations on both ends, it will help.
Again, please remind your students:
- Remain seated the entire ride
- Use a level 1 voice (conversation volume, no yelling)
- Maintain a safe body (hands and feet to themselves)
- Listen to the driver's instructions
- Keep aisle clear of backpacks and feet
- Face forward
- Use kind and appropriate words
