Student Behavior & Campus Wide Expectations
We have exceptional students at our school and we love our students. We have seen an increase in referrals to the office as well as discipline referrals in and out of the classroom over the last week. As we get closer to the end of the school year, please continue to have conversations with your child regarding school and classroom expectations. Aside from negative consequences, additional consequences imposed at this time of year might include the removal of school incentives, field day, dances, or other fun type of activities. We are here to support all our students and appreciate your support.
As a friendly reminder, please, no outside toys such as dolls, stuffies, or gaming systems. Sport balls are still ok to bring if used during lunch or before school starts.
