Our October shows us that there were 55 minor incidents and 58 major incidents this month in the areas of the classroom and playground/outdoors.

Our staff and students will be revisiting and practicing our Bulldog Blueprints lessons for these areas.

This month in Classroom Champions, we will focus on Emotions and how to manage our emotions. Self-regulation is a core skill that students need to learn in order to be successful in life. Students who can regulate their emotions are better able to engage in school, focus on the task at hand, and have healthier relationships.

Our Citizen of the Month trait for November will be focused one students who manage their emotions appropriately.

See what Christian has to teach us about Emotions this month:
