Making Positive Choices
We make more than a thousand decisions every day. Here are some steps we should consider in order to make the most positive choices possible:
- Does a decision need to be made? What choices do you have?
- Stop and think before you act. What do you need to know in order to make a healthy decision?
- Do you need help with this decision? Who can help?
- What are the possible outcomes for each of the choices?
- What's the healthy choice for you? Why?
Technology Reminder
As a reminder, students should only use their school-issued iPad and all of their school accounts for tasks that their teachers assign.
Students should not use their iPad or accounts for chatting via Google docs, searching non-education related terms/phrases, or any other activity that isn't directly related to something that a teacher assigned.
Morning Drop Off
Our morning supervision person arrives at that time.
Reminders for Walkers
Please be careful when crossing the streets, utilize sidewalks and crosswalks when available, and follow the street crossing signs.
