Emily will be our student of the week next week.
Next week, January 24-28, Elizabeth Ide will be implementing an approach to discipline called Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). PBIS is a proactive systems approach to establishing the behavioral supports and social culture needed for all students in a school to achieve social, emotional, and academic success.We will begin by establishing clear expectations for behavior that will be taught, modeled, and reinforced across all settings and by all staff. Our week will culminate with a juggling celebration assembly.
Valentine's Day Party
Our Valentine's Day party will be on Monday, February 14th from 2:00-3:00. The children will pass out their valentines before the party. Do not address the valentines, just have your child sign his/her name, this makes passing them out much easier. If you signed up to help or to bring food or paper products, someone will be contacting you soon. Thanks.
