 Families,

I hope your week is off to a great start! We have completed our first full month of school! 

We are working with our students on showing PRIDE in all settings of the school. We are Re-acclimating our students to an entire class of peers, maintaining the stamina for the length of a regular school day and focusing on academic content has been challenging for some of our students. Please take a moment and talk with your child about these expectations in their classrooms. :

Clear routines to be followed:

  • Arrival and Dismissal

  • Transitions (snack time, between seating areas)

  • Turning in work

  • Independent working times

  • Lining up


Classroom expectations  

  • Raising hand to speak

  • Staying in your seat/space

  • Interacting with peers (asking for a turn, initiating play, using BIG voice, etc)
