Our Thanksgiving Food Drive begins

Each grade level is asked to bring something different
We've completed our first full month of FBI's (Friendly Behavior Identifiers) being on the buses. FBI's are 4th adn 5th grade students chosen by their bus drivers to give students good bus behavior tickets when they see appropriate bus behavior. Students turn in the tickets with their names on them to a box in the cafeteria. Each week we pull 14 good bus behavior tickets out of the box, recognize those students on the morning announcements, call them to the media center and allow them to choose a prize. On October 31st the first Bus of the Month will be recognized. The criteria for this recognition is no bus referrals and students following posted bus rules. The bus that is selected will be rewarded with a pizza party the week of October 31st! They will also have a banner on the bus announcing that they are Bus of the Month. The majority of bus drivers have reported great improvements in bus behavior.
Our second group of safety patrols are doing an excellent job! We appreciate parent support of this program.
The next parent Lunch and Learn for "Parenting with Love and Logic" is November 9th from 11 - 12 in the media center. You are welcome to attend even if you were unable to attend the first session. Parents were very pleased with our first session and learned some valuable tips and strategies.
It's been great to see parents at the conferences we've attended as well as supporting the Book Fair. Please contact your counselor with any concerns.
Counselors were not in classrooms for lessons during conference week which was also Red Ribbon Week. We will do a Red Ribbon Week lesson in each class and continue with our series of bullying lessons.
