This month, we’re focusing on how to be Respectful — showing care for people, places, and things by listening when others speak, following directions, and taking care of property and personal space. Students are learning how to be respectful through class meetings, PBIS books in the media center, and daily “Tips of the Day" by our morning news anchors. Families can support this focus at home by talking about what being respectful looks like, reading stories with a theme of respect, and noticing respectful choices. Together, we can help every student SOAR! |
