#Safety

Reminder: MTSS/PBIS expectations are put in place to establish a positive climate and stablish consistent behavorial guidelines which allows your child to learn in a safe, secure environment. On Monday, we will review schoolwide expectations with students throughout the school day. Please speak with your child about the importance of following our schoolwide expectations.

#Growth

The Lexia program is an independent student driven learning program focused on providing literacy and language instruction. Ultimately, this helps students grow further and allows them to be prepared to perform on level.

For the month of December, I am challenging students to meet their weekly Lexia usage goal by completing 12-15 units each week. Students who complete 24-30 units in a 10-day time frame will be placed in a drawing for a very special prize to be given on 12/20.

#Opportunity

Attendance recovery:

If your child is absent from school, he or she is missing vital information which will prepare them to master on grade level content by the end of the school year.

Attendance recovery is offered on our campus as an opportunity for students to remain after school three days a week to work on assignments to help close learning gaps created by absences.

Mrs. Trahan, asst. principal, is the lead for attendance/truancy on our campus. Please reach out to her if you received a message from her regarding your child's attendance.
