Penny War - We will be a part of a Civic Engagement project this fall.  There will be a Penny War during Homecoming week, Sept. 30-Oct. 4.  Money raised will provide Valley Transit bus passes for a community member in need of public transportation.  Our goal will be $500 with the all-school prize of some extra recess time (4K included).  More to come yet this week.

🎵"These are a few of my favorite things"🎵 - Please fill out your assigned slide to share all your favorites with one another.  These are helpful when others want to show a little recognition and/or appreciation.  

Recognition - Please fill this out when you are able!

Seclusion & Restraint - Please review this document and let me know of any questions/wonderings you have.  This was also something we briefly reviewed at our August staff meetings.

Restorative Respect (Review)

Be on the lookout this week for 3 opportunities to have a teachable moment with a student where they could have used a Respect skill they’ve learned to avoid a problem or handle a situation better. Spend a few minutes working together to talk through the skill and why it might have been helpful to them.
