PBIS Updates
We’re excited to share the latest from our PBIS program! We recently celebrated a successful PBIS Experience Day! Students redeemed their points for engaging activities such as free-choice PE stations, shrinky dinks, slime, playdough, a movie with popcorn, and musical chairs. It was a joyful day filled with positive energy and student celebration.
The School Store now features new rewards, including a fifth-grade raffle for an autographed drawing by Ginger the Snake, custom Canva Quotes for students in grades 3–5, and a Book Talk on the Morning News available to all grade levels.
We continue to reinforce our SOAR expectations: Safe, Only Show Kindness, Accountable, and Respectful. These expectations guide student behavior and help maintain a positive school environment. We’re proud of our students’ hard work and look forward to more PBIS successes throughout the year!
