Celebrating Our Great Grizzlies!!
G.R.O.W.L. Parent Inclusion
Webster defines respect as giving due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of others. During the first week of October, we challenged students to find ways they could be respectful on our campus as we celebrated our custodians. Our custodians create a clean and safe atmosphere as they strive each day to keep York clean. This includes our restrooms, hallways, classrooms, offices cafeterias, and entryways. We are so thankful for them, and we respect the big role they play in the productivity of our campus.
We are encouraging our students to show respect through their gratitude toward our staff and others. Please talk to your students about how they can respect others by showing gratitude, helping others, and just being kind to one another - especially themselves. See below for ways we can help our students respect themselves when facing academic challenges.
