More Great Examples of Respect!

Students showcase what Respect means to them!

What is Respect?

Posting some PicCollages that the 5th graders created when asked the question, "What does RESPECT mean to you?"

Steps to Respect

Many students face bullying problems at school.  Research shows that bullying can be reduced greatly, but only when the whole school (students, staff, and parents) tackle the problem together.  Steps to Respect a new guidance curriculum that I will be incorporating into guidance classes will help to create a safe, caring, respectful learning environment.

Students will learn many skills to help them build friendships and deal with bullying.  Let's work together to create and maintain a safe and positive school environment!

Guidance Classes Have Started!

Guidance classes have officially started for the 2013-2014 school year!  I want to let everyone know that the next two weeks we will be getting to know each other and making connections in guidance classes!  Kids need to feel included and build relationships with each other in order to learn at their maximum potential!  We will also be reviewing Cadet Pride Expectations and the I-Care Rules.

I have also included the PBIS website http://www.pbis.org/ for additional information for parents and teachers about positive behavior at school and home.
