PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention System) Reminders: Students can only use cell phones and wear hats after school hours. Also, gum can only be chewed outside of school not in the building. Cell phones need to be turned off and put away as soon as you enter the building. If you have any questions about the PBIS reminders, please contact a teacher.
Rachel's Challenge: Congratulations to all the students for being recognized for the Kindness Connects Us All Project.
Kindness Connects Us All: Rachel's Challenge would also like to invite you to participate in the MARCH "Kindness Connects Us All" project. It's simple, Mrs. Miller has letter forms outside her office door on the bookcase. Describe briefly an act of kindness that someone did showing that they are TRUSTWORTHY. Teachers and students are asked to participate in recognizing how TRUSTWORTHY our students and staff are. Since our act of kindness for MARCH focuses on being TRUSTWORTHY, students will receive a letter from the person that recognizes them as being TRUSTWORTHY.
