A Note From Our Principal
Dear Families,
Another week of thanks is upon us! Thank you to our custodians, paraprofessionals, kitchen staff, and bus drivers! They help get our students to and from school, field trips and sporting events. They keep our bellies full and remind us to eat our fruits and vegetables. They help keep our school clean. They assist in our classrooms, at lunch, and recess to support our students academically and behaviorally. We all make a great team!
Recently, the MiMTSS Technical Assistance Center also recognized our school at the bronze level for our work toward implementing a Multi-Tiered System of Support in the area of Behavior. By implementing MTSS, we enhance the consistency of effective instruction, expand staff knowledge and skills to equitably support all learners, use data to proactively identify and provide support for students, and cultivate a positive culture that nurtures relationships with students, families, and communities. This strong foundation helps learners gain the skills needed to achieve their life goals! Way to go, CMUE!
Have a great weekend!
