PBIS Update
Before Winter Break we had the tardy challenge. For two full weeks, we monitored tardies. We want to celebrate that we had several 9th period classes with zero tardies. We entered these classes into a raffle. The winning classes were awarded a prize during the 9th period on Thursday of this week. Please continue to engage in conversations with your student about the importance of arriving to class on time. On-time arrival allows your student to maximize their instructional time in the classroom.
