PBIS and Bucket Filling
Students did an excellent job showcasing appropriate bathroom behavior this week!
Next week, our Bucket Buck Blitz will focus on cafeteria behavior. In the cafeteria, students should be at a volume 2 or lower, wait to be called to the lunch line, eat their lunch, raise their hand if they need help, and take care of our school by cleaning up after themselves. We know our students will do a fantastic job!
